That would be the utmost in deceitfulness, masking a political racist agenda and presenting it as a legitimate forum to discuss politics. Promotion of such polarization can only lead to civil disorder and eventually open war. There is extreme danger to society in fostering these ideas and I urge caution and "farsightedness" to predict where such racist promotions will lead our society into the future. The civil war wasn't really that long ago and was fought over these same principles. If you think about it, the civil war didn't fully end until Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 and it's subsequent civil rights acts. We've seen the destruction caused when one group of people imposes itself upon another. I urge and warn you not to promote racismby allowing it for the consequences are devastating to all of us.
Finally, if you guys are indeed promoting racist ideals, then at least be genuine and open about it and don't hide it behind some "political forum" and try to deceive people. Seriously, are you trying to start another civil war here? You can't fool all the people all of the time.

from our rules :
"Avoid personal attacks. This is probably the most subjective of guidelines; however, approach it like this: ATTACK THE MESSAGE, NOT THE MESSENGER.
Many topics are emotionally charged. This passion for what one believes in should remain in the discourse. However, please refrain from attacking another user in a personal way. Personal attacks do not contribute to a debate. While you may attack a user's ideas, views, political affiliation, political party, political candidate, government, etc... you must not attack the poster personally. Those who engage in this may get a private warning, a public warning, or even have their posting deleted. Continued disregard towards this guideline may result in being banned from this board."
I used sarcasm once or twice to poke fun at a racist post and it waaas deleted:
