Okay so on every political site I have ever posted on or seen there are always made up of a majority of white male mods/admins to soley male mod/admins. No chicks or non-white people. There may be more male posters normally but not enough to make up for the differences in mod status between males an femals

Is this sexist, do political boards need some affirmative action, why is dp made up of all male mod/admins, does jim have something against woman in positions of power. .

LN, don't you think calling women "chicks", is more sexist than the make up of the mod staff?

Jim has invested money and alot of time in developing his sites. The membership did not happen overnight, but over many years. No one here is stopping you or any other female from starting their own political board.

Is this site designed to be sexist? No, that is absurd. Sometimes people are searching to be a victim. :rolleyes:

Well, I can attest that I've been on at least four political boards that were predominately female - owners, mods, members, etc. I even belonged to one that was owned by a black female.........and we had members of just about every political persuasion possible.

This board just happens to be predominately male......sometimes it just happens that way.....I don't think it had anything to do with affirmative action LN. Not everything has to be "politically correct".

I've been on staff at a political board. Was for several years. Until the owner went MIA and shortly there after the bill stopped being paid. We had several females on staff besides myself.

with all due respect, I think affirmative action is racist. It says to a perticuler group or race, you cant do it on your own, so we will do it for you, under the guise of help, by being racist to another group.

I think, perhaps, non-whites, may congregate to boards, with non-whites as we do have a tendency in all races, to stick with our own.

I dont sense any inherent racism or sexism by any mod, on any board so far, because, you cant tell who is black or male.


Okay so on every political site I have ever posted on or seen there are always made up of a majority of white male mods/admins to soley male mod/admins. No chicks or non-white people. There may be more male posters normally but not enough to make up for the differences in mod status between males an femals
