No, racism sucks. You take the essence of someone, but just because he is of a certain color, or religion, you use to entire segment to label someone. Utter crap.
I am friends with people who respect others. Don't care about race, nor religion. Sure, it can come up, and I have had a myriad of discussions with black people, and how they feel about things. Hell, Shawn Ray and I have discussed a number of issues, which is always interesting.
There is a point of discussing whether if you are black, does your muscles shine better than if you are white, and other ideas related to bodybuilding.
I would rather get individuals to get more character involvement in themselves, to banter it up with a little rivalry, regardless of race or religion. We have enough of that in politics, the world around us, and more.
If it isnt black vs. white, it is Muslim vs. Christians, or Chinese vs. Tibetans. Sure, they are important issues, but that is why there are different boards to discuss.
On the main boards, it is a place that everyone is welcome around the world, regardless of race, religion, etc.
