Everything is racist in today's world. You cannot hold a decent discussion of anything even remotely dealing with race. I have been kicked off 8 different subs for 'hate speech'.

Moderation on many sites starts with the question "Is this person conservative" If the answer is yes, literally anything he posts is 'hate speech' and he is banned. Some mods look up the poster's past posts I believe and ban people based on that. There seems to be an effort on Reddit not to ban 'hate speech' but to stomp conservative minded people into the ground.

Have rules, certainly. But who will honestly apply those rules without bias? That is Reddit's problem in many cases. There are lots of good reddits with intelligent discussions going on. Just have to look for them and not post anything, even if it adds to the discussion.
