text: Please explain why I would want to listen to someone spout racist ideology.  I will never accept racism and have no desire to espose myself to it.  You seem to suggest that I, for example, should have simply listened to a gentleman call President Obama a "stupid N#$%$" and continue his racist rant.  I confronted the man's racist comment and will confront every racist comment I hear.  I don't feel I need to "improve and broaden my understanding" by listening to racists.  If I wanted to do that, I'd just Google the past speeches by David Duke. Racism is not a "new thing".  It's as old as mankind and is as vile today as it was thousands of years ago.  Thanks, but I'll pass on listening to a white supremacist extoll the virtues of racism.  Gary Crum
