Thank you. I will be posting more in the future even though Jim is a member. :biggrin:

No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

The amended rule from RDF (introduced last month):
Richarddawkins.net will not foster or support racist, homophobic or sexist bigotry. Therefore, you may not post hateful, abusive or disparaging content about people's race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender, as this creates an environment that is hostile to the reasonable exchange of views.
If you see anything that's against the above then please report it to staff over there. As Ayaan says, all the staff agreed to this.

Unfortunately the search functioin at RDF has been fucked for a couple of months now, and apparently there is no intention of bringing it back, so it is a bit difficult to unearth the posts you are asking for. Nevertheless, here is one. If you are curious enough, to comb through threads like The Bell Curve, Race/Intelligence and
Race/Intelligence (Part 2), you will probably find more objectionable racist posts.
