Why is this downvoted? There are multiple comments in the article based on racial stereotypes which are not only completely unnecessary but reflect negatively upon the author's judgment and credibility. Very ironic considering the article seeks to suppress Mr Lewis's speech.

- kasey_junk 13y agoI also found the racial commentaries problematic and unnecessary. That said, the author is in no way trying to suppress Mr. Lewis's speech. Disagreement is not censorship.
