Is being in favor of more border defense and wanting to send illegal immigrants home "racist"? In my opinion a lot of those people are motivated by racism, yet I would never try to silence them. People have a right to state their opinions, even if some consider what they have to say unpleasant or offensive. This being a porn forum, the First Amendment is of ultimate inportance and this board should be a place for free speech and open discussion.

Supporting your opposition opinion of any particular issue doesn't constitute racists speech. Lots of countries have laws against "hate speech".

You have convinced me that banning probably isn't the correct way to address the issue... I just wish people weren't so ignorant.
