Then when i was inline at Autozone a few days ago was needing help i mentioned IA and how it is a great site. He then says he had seen the site while his brother use to use it and it seem Racial lately. He then says he and his brother have decided to maybe just stay clear thinking it was bad since they being Asian.
I told him its not that things are just slow and a few people lately discuss things different eve since the Florida stuff.
I dont disagree with any of that, but my initial reaction to being told "a lot of people and new members are getting turned away by the political/racial/fighting ect stuff" was "why are they seeing it?"... the politics section being in the activity feed is a problem waiting to happen. Unfortunately, the news really is as racial as i portray it. I'm not making it more racial than it actually is. I tried to demonstrate this by posting only news articles. You should have to look for the politics section IF you want to find it. It should not be part of the advertising apparatus of IA. I dont want to offend people who are not willing participants in the debate. I removed my political banners and try to keep it from spilling over into other forums.... ive made an attempt to cooperate with any request....

If your goal is simply just to improve the site, and not just pole jockey me, then there's technical improvements to be made. The politics section is the blocked off section in the back of the movie store. It shouldnt be in a display case beside the candy at the register.
