Tolerating the Intolerant

It is my privilege to provide support for the most marginalized voices in the Western World. Most recently, I have offered my views on the state of American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS). Racism has been directed at them 24/7 for 401 years and counting. The “Framers” framed them at a 3/5th value in their Constitution, and Amendments to that legal document always included an “unless” clause.

Consider this a teaser for my next blog entry. However, the occasion for this entry is to note a policy change. Comments must now be moderated before they are published in order to prevent anyone from unilaterally declaring themselves an editor of this blog. Unfortunately, nine hours expired before I discovered that such a breach had occurred. A set of four lengthy diatribes, including two ad hominem attacks, spewed forth before I had logged on for the day.

My apologies to all and each for those nine hours.

Thanks for reading.

One thought on “Tolerating the Intolerant”

  1. I can relate to this, Bill. I had to moderate all comments from almost the very beginning of my blog. Whenever I published anything about Native American/Indigenous Peoples’ issues, I would attract long-winded racist die – a – tribes (pun intended). I decided I would not allow any comments that denigrated anyone on my blog, which is why it was not even easy for me to post “The Liar Tweets Tonightโ€ by Roy Zimmerman and the ReZisters. There’s enough meanness, ugliness, and stupidity in the world. There need to some sanctuaries for people who want to learn and connect in meaningful ways. I am grateful that you provide one… ๐Ÿ’œ
