I think we confuse race and culture all too much.

No doubt!

Wrong again. You love to jump to conclusions, don't you?

I did not tell anyone who to ban. I reported the posts to the moderators because his posts were offensive and are a blatent and extreme violation of the rules set forward by our moderators. It is up to them, I never TOLD any moderator what to do.
If I had that authority to decide who gets banned (and I don't) you would have been gone long ago ;)

LOL, naw it's be a short list; Two, maybe three people, 4 if I banned myself ;)

there's a good reason I'm not a moderator here or anywhere else but the same could be said for many of us. Being a moderator takes way too much patience.

I can pretty much guaranty you wouldn't say many of the things you post about people to those people's faces.

I grew up in the Detroit area. I lived in downtown Detroit for 3 years in my 20s. All of my roomates were black.

I have all sorts of negative comments I could make about black folks. The reality is, the culture of lower class blacks is VERY messed up. And the popularity of lower class black culture makes is difficult to not lump every black person together.

Making statements like "90% of black people are a waste" is simply ignorance. Prejudiced? Sure. Racist? Naw.

I think this is close. The thread indicated that the comments about blacks was either ignorant or stupid.

Ignorance = Ignorance or studid

Racism = Ignorance + Hate (or prejudice to inflict some type of negative attitude to a group via generalization)


I do not think that the thread showed racism, it was just ig'nant!

Wickd89 02-24-2008 09:42 AM

stupid not studid.

English, second language... ;-)

Just kidding, just a typo... I am not a secretary.

I on the other hand have and will. Yes Ive been fired, dumped, badly beaten ect. I have next to no friends but in the end I sleep at night because Ive said everything Ive ever needed to say thus far in life. When It comes to friends they come and go. My mother told me as a child "You are all you need".

Is this racist? This is a hearing concerning whether N.O. needs more $25 per mo housing, which was swarmed by out of town "activists." I particularly like the "belly shirt" on that lovely black woman there at the end.
