I just read this article by Field Negro about why he doesn't delete racist comments from his blog. And trust me, some of those comments are impressively racist.
"Those trolls could be your neighbor, your co-worker, or even the person you set next to in church . . . far too many of you so called progressive thinking people have been fooled into thinking that A-merry-ca is this forward thinking place full of enlightened people . . . The real A-merry-ca is a place filled with the kind of folks you see commenting on this web site on a daily basis. The real A-merry-ca is full of envy,hate, and "color aroused" angst brought on by ignorance and prejudice . . . me blocking their comments won't change how they feel in their hearts or how A-merry-cans, in general, feel about you and me."
