OKP in general (and perhaps GD in particular) sometimes serves as a playground for ppl's personalities and imaginations. And I don't judge, I give certain sides of me a little more room to run here than offline. It's whatever.

Yes, racial issues tend to get a little ridiculous and out of proportion around here. But doesn't everything else? Sometimes I sit here and think that if some of these ppl act toward other races like they post, how could they function in society? And since they apparently continue to do so, I have to assume that they manage okay out in the world.

Okp, then, serves the same purpose for them on racial issues as it does in other things. And is that really unhealthy? Probably not. The only negative I can think of is that it might negatively impact others' opinions, but okp shouldn't be in the business of protecting ppl with poor critical thinking skills from themselves.

Recap: Okp serves as a place for ppl to vent their racial frustrations sometimes, and I don't view that as necessarily a bad thing.
