these types of things should not be reported.
any type of racism is up for disscussion ... I believe that these posts should be censored
First of all: a warning for the likes of a**e end, bodd, gasbag and others that have limited attention spans: this comment is about you, and others like you, but if you choose not to read it, or are incapable of reading it, that is your choice.
I have said before, but I think it is worth repeating: issues should not be censored, or to use a**e end's phrase, "swept under the carpet". But neither should they be used for some to exercise their bigotry or explicit racism, such as that displayed by krappykid.
When we encounter illegal, or outrageously offensive behaviour we should challenge it. We almost have a duty as a society to challenge it, and a society is comprised of individuals. Whether it is sex abuse of children, exploitation of children, or bigoted exploitation of such issues, we should challenge it.
Not to challenge it means tacit acquiescence of that behaviour.
Now active concealment, denial or defence of such illegal or offensive behaviour is something altogether different and far more sinister, such as that experienced in organisations such as the Catholic Church.
When we encounter outrageously offensive comments in social media we almost have a duty to challenge it.
Not to challenge it means tacit acquiescence of that behaviour. Even worse, those comments would become the only voice, therefore the dominant voice.
We must not allow such offensive comments to become the dominant voice because a) more, similar individuals would feel empowered to add their offensive comments, that media would become a recruiting media for such individuals and b) immature or easily led people would become socialised into that dominant culture, i.e radicalised, they would believe the bigoted propaganda spread by the dominant bigoted voices.
Maybe this has been the process in the CC forum where RWR, or explicit racism has been allowed to flourish and become the dominant culture, leading to further recruitment of like-minded individuals or the radicalisation of feeble minded individuals. They have then felt empowered to spread their bigoted message into the GD forum.

Racism is NOT allowed to flourish in the CC. If you find it, you must report it.
