tigra 0 #77 January 27, 2005 Unfortunately, its been covered. Blatantly offensive racist and bigoted statements are allowed in as much as they attack "group" of people. Calling someone a racist for making said statement is a "personal attack" and therefore not allowed. just one of the quirks of this site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
storm1977 0 #78 January 27, 2005 That is Somewhat true.... If you don't like the rules, no one forces you to post here... Do they? I can say The french are Wimps, But I can't say Frenchy (the user) is a wimp.... If you don't like the rules in the forum, find a different one.

billvon 3,088 #79 January 27, 2005 >Blatantly offensive racist and bigoted statements are allowed in as >much as they attack "group" of people. Correct. And I suspect you wouldn't want it any other way. If you called democrats/republicans/US troops/insurgents/freedom fighters/terrorists "a bunch of losers" and it got deleted because a group of people was offended - there wouldn't be many posts remaining here.

eflynn 0 #82 January 27, 2005 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteQuote Quote The next time you want to "promote unity" you should choose your words more carefully or address the issue with someone in person. Discussions like these via the internet are difficult at best. I have no regrets over the words I chose to use. Its ok for you to get frustrated with "the man" and voice your concerns with no repercussions, but the second a white person brings up the issue we are considered a racist. That is not right. I am not a racist, bottom line. I could put you in touch with numerous people that could verify that information, and yes, I am referring to black friends of mine. Your point might be valid if you could point out where I got "frustrated with 'the man'." You should be able to voice your opinions regarding whatever subject you'd like to speak on. And likewise, I'll respond when I feel I need/want to. My point is simply this... saying/asking "Why the hell do black people always think it is a freakin conspiracy against them????" is not going to "promote unity." That statement indites an entire race. I never referred to you as racist. While I disagree with your position I do respect it. We'll have to simply agree to disagree.

I think one reason it's OK is that there WAS a vast conspiracy to enslave, torture, kill etc black people in the US. There was a population of people in the US that was different not because they were inferior, or because of their skin color, but because we (the US, that is, not you in particular) MADE them different. We ended that around the time of the civil war. We ended institutionalized discrimination about a hundred years later, around 1965. Someday there won't be much difference between races, and that will be a good day. But keep in mind that there are people living today who were not allowed to marry or go to school because of their skin color - and that matters. That there are groups dedicated to the support of these people makes sense to me. Someday, hopefully, there will be no need for groups like this. But don't feel like you're left out of all this. By all means, if you're irish and you think the irish have been discriminated against, form an Oppressed Irish Advocacy Group or whatever. I doubt very much if anyone will stop you.

eflynn 0 #96 January 27, 2005 QuoteQuoteDifferences in race and ethnicity should be celebrated not ignored. See I disagree. I ignore your family history, your education, your skin color....I look at the person and how they act, and how they treat others...Thats equal. You can celabrate diversity all you want. As long as when it comes down to the bottom line that you don't favor any person based on it. I treat people equally. I see TONS of racism from blacks to whites. Everyone ignores it, or encourages it. NAACP, BET. If anyone had "The National Associaton for the Advancement of White People", or "White Entertainment TV"....Oh hell there would be a shit storm. But for Blacks its OK? Why? QuoteAs far as the NFL requiring Black candidates to be interviewed, what's sad is it seems to be necessary. Before the policy was in place, we simply weren't being considered for the position regardless of qualifications. You have proof of that? How many Black NFL coaches have been hired since it was started? Is it possible that there are just not that many qualified Black Coaches? Yes, there is a possibility that there aren't as many qualified Black coaches, although I don't agree. But, let's interview and find out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron 10 #97 January 27, 2005 You attitute towards Funks shows what you are: QuoteWhy don't you try doing an informal poll with your "black friends" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA What he can't have black friends? QuoteI'm really confused since you and Funks seem to be mind readers why do you seem to be having these problems. Surely your amazing powers to see deep into other peoples minds can solve this problem. You are getting very close to a Personal attack...I have been banned for calling someone a mindreader. You can't debate anything, instead you choose to riddicule.

Ron 10 #98 January 27, 2005 What about the shit storm that would happen if I had White TV? Would that be fair? QuoteYes, there is a possibility that there aren't as many qualified Black coaches, although I don't agree. But, let's interview and find out. Great interview...But does it not seem strange that you want to FORCE people to interview? What if they don't get the job?

prepheckt 0 #99 January 27, 2005 QuoteAgain, what would the National Association for the Advancement of White People's agenda be? Actually there is such a group.
