There is something very strange about 4chan. You know how people believe in open source, that software should be free? Or how they believe in democracy, or in human rights, or in free speech? I sometimes get the feeling 4chan is way beyond any of that. It's... well, the word sainthood comes to mind.
I know, I know, it's ridiculous. But I simply cannot imagine 4chan, the collective, being racist. It just doesn't fit. Oh, it makes a lot of noise, yes, but to actually discriminate, no. Or any of the principles above, they're so organically _in_.
Well, anyways, about income sources. Amongst the things they could do would be accepting donations. But they don't: http://www.4chan.org/faq#donations The FAQ is an interesting read in itself.
