Gateway Pundit goes full PC on Race

A great many conservatives Gateway Pundit has been both a reliable source of news without the filter of leftist bill crap and a place where commentary was freewheeling and largely unrestricted. Irony, sarcasm and all measures of snark were openly accepted and debate where disagreement occured was accepted and expected.

Some how that has now changed, at least when it comes to the subject of criticizing black racism with the same aformentioned irony and sarcasm.

My regular readers will also know me by my Disqus handle of FVS. I commented on Gateway's leading story of the day concerning  a black UVA student making a blatantly racist statement that there were "to many white people" at the opening of the newly built campus "Cultural Diversity Center".
I responded, implying that if she is so much in favor of segregation, that perhaps we should just return to full blown segregation with colored only drinking fountains and perhaps the 3/5ths rule as well.  I closed the comment, proving it was sarcasm directed at the irony of her idiotic remark, by suggest she take an extended trip to her ancestral homelands of West Africa and she might come home with a greater appreciation of what living in a majority white country has provided for her.

This comment was met with immediate reaction from Gateway's nameless moderator who took such offence that the comment was not simply removed not was I put in some kind of "time out" like I was a petulant child, but I was permanently banned from commenting on the platform.

I can only conclude that Gateway is hiring ex twitter employees as moderators or they are so afraid of the racecard Nazis that no such absurd sarcasm is to be tolerated.. Or perhaps they have hired former Obama AG William Holder as their race issue moderator. Holder was after all the guy who made his first speech at the DOJ saying that "We are a nation of cowards" on the subject of race. It would certainly appear that that mindset had taken root at Disqus.
