Yeah, I got banned from a left-wing board on Reddit for this exact reason. There was a thread about an incident at the University of North Dakota were some women locked out their black roommate from their dorm apartment and post an image to Instagram captioned "locked out the black bitch". Sure, what those women did was clearly insensitive and they clearly needed a stern talking to, but there were demands from the SJW types for these women to be expelled, and some extremists even wanted them banned from EVERY public university. I pointed out how stupidly counterproductive this all is and is just cathartic rage being rationalized as "justice" and won't do anything to change people's minds, which is when I got banned.

Under Trump, look for more and more SJW types to get more militant, and repression in response. Personally I don't see why these racists should not have been expelled, but I am not close to what happened so I don't know. Being banned from boards for expressing opinions is just more authoritarian nonsense; but look for this to increase under Trump. What those racist students did was far beyond expressing opinions.
