1. Just because you 'don't give them the time of day' doesn't mean they aren't there.

2. Maybe you just aren't hearing the racist remarks. Given your willingness to edit out the people who are likely to be making them.

Or they are in such a minority that they really are not a factor. I certainly edit them out, that is true, but if there were really that many their remarks would be all over the internet both in video and quote. So far there has been very few events, other than the one reportedly made at the Capitol, with thousands of video about and no one could catch the supposed comment. Who knows. But it sure has become a convienient dig. To be honest I have only witness 2 such gatherings and it was in passing. Everything else I have watched is on the internet or TV.
