6. AfAm and HoF forums most closely resemble the collective sentiment

AfAm and HoF forums most closely resemble the collective sentiment of DU in its first few years. Racism was called racism, and sexism was called sexism. And bigots were given the boot.

Today it seems, more often than not, that simply raising the conversation of race in GD is perceived as an implicit form of racism in and of itself by far too many half-wits whose idiot-savant abilities allow them to troll far more successfully than I'd like to believe is possible.

On the other hand, between the two groups, I can honestly say I've learned a great deal, and have had more than a few blinders and biases of my own removed.
