Discussion is one thing. That's fine. Using said discussion to 'legitimize' your bigotry/hate, a la Mazi, is where the problems lie.

Do different races posses certain differing genetic characteristics?

The races of the world are obviously physically different, are we also mentally different?  ???

What kind of discussion of race? And where? Most people seem to become less civilized anytime they want an 'intelligent' discussion 'round these parts.

After all, this IS a BB forum to discuss related topics like what chicks we'd hit, Kai Greene's grapefruit, and Jehwit's Branch story. So let's stay on topic. :)

I especially love when white people say that. Meanwhile, they often behave like the same 'victims' that are purported to be the touchy ones when the finger changes direction.

Some people are assholes, some are simply ignorant. It is almost NEVER as simple as anyone makes it.

dood i'm a brownie....i also dislike the brownies that blame all their shortcomings on 911....

as i see it in the US right now....its perfectly ok to make fun of white people...

but no one else...

for example in the movies its perfectly ok for black females to get mad at a black dood dating a white girl...
but were it the other way around....ohhh nooo it'd be racism  :-\

It wasn't really targeted at you, but I hear you. It was more a comment on that sentiment than something personal.

I'm sure that for every example, an opposite one could be found. One simply has to be receptive to it. The way the culture is set up, one side is ALWAYS involved in the dominant culture while the members of the dominant culture can CHOOSE whether or not to get involved in other subcultures. With that, it is easy to miss exceptions and similarities to the rule.

agreed but many ethnicities tend to have simliar culture with other ppl of the same ethnicities...

Nobody wants a serious talk about race b/c ppl who play the victim would have to realize they arent and ppl who think there is nothing wrong will have to realize there is actually something wrong...

to harsh a reality for either group to come to grips with.

Great point. Reminds me of the Upton Sinclair quote, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it."
