I don't get the eye roll, he's right. How many times have people said I was black, used in a way as an attempt to insult? all the time. That shit Benz was posting today, racist. He wasn't talking about race. He was race baiting. Saying blacks and hispanics ruined the country... It's not just this board tho, it's all over. This board is probably better than others in this regard.

Is that why you begged him to leave you alone?

it means I didn't want to waste days in a pointless war because I split an off topic post into it's own thread. quite the waste of time for a normal mod duty done routinely. The guy launches into mass spaming of repeated posts so I have to sit here and delete all day. Thanks but no thanks, I'll happily ask it not to go there rather than aggitate it when he does stuff like that.

Which eye roll? There were two.

The one directed to NT was a "give me a break" eyeroll. A little bigot complaining about racism.

Sure there are racists who post on the board and people who post racist stuff. That wasn't really what I was getting at. I agree that this board is better (much better in fact) than others when it comes to race discussions.

Very true. Not just the politics board, but throughout getbig. Fortunately, I am here to be their worst nightmare come to life.

Maybe instead of deleting you can let people speak their minds? Don't you think it's about time we as a nation discuss race?

nothing wrong with discussing race, read the rules. We've had some good race discussions here. If I remember right, Ozmo had this talk with you so what are you confused about? My stance is the same as his on this and you agreed to his terms, the same terms that are in the forum rules.

You were complaining about having to spend time deleting shit, I merely offered you a solution. Stop deleting things for a while. The world will go on if there are a few N bombs dropped on the political board. Plus, maybe you can get out of the house and enjoy some fresh air once in a while.

I was talking about not wanting to start a war with Benz and having to deal with him spaming the board with the same post over and over which has to be deleted. I wouldn't expect to go on any other forum here and get away with that and expect to justify it because a topic was split. And that's all I did was split a topic. Hardly a big deal.

You can go to the Y and call me a filthy Dago Wop. I don't care. Shit, you can call me anything you want. It's just words on a screen my friend, nothing more, nothing less.

well you can't here. We have a few rules on racism and that is Ron approved so I guess you'll just have to deal with it if you want to post here. You just said it, people have a place to do it on getbig. Now they have an option. I don't see how that should be a problem.

Racism is both a diversion and accusation that get away from the real issues we are facing.

All colors and races are getting robbed blind and screwed by what is going on in DC.

shootfighter1 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 21, 2009, 08:40:40 AM »

Yep, there's still racism. Not with most but certainly with some.

However, the black community leaders protesting every damn thing that may be racist isn't helping their cause. Every incident gets so much publicity too...sometimes people just get sick of it. Other minority races in this country seem to do much better as a whole. I think the key is just to blend together rather than continue to isolate yourself as a group within America and to drop the continued victim role some play.

The problem is that minority racism is explained away, accepted, and/or rationalized. When white people engage in the same behavior everyone has a fit.

Either everyone engages in racsim and it is ok, or no one does it.

You cany have it both ways and expect anything other than continued strife.

I was opposed to that cartoon as well Hugo, but then I saw Sharpton on crying about it all f'n week. Then he organized some protest that was televised. Thats enough of this shit...it actually furthers racist attitudes because they over-react. They hold their own people back and make them feel some warped sense of brotherhood in victimhood.
I remember this old black guy that racially insulted me in the gym once...he called me a damn honkey. The guy was in his late 50s and I was like 21 (and fighting competitively at the time). Instead of physically smashing him, I just called him a racist fool and asked him if he felt better now. He just scurried off the gym floor and some of the guys working out laughed (it was a mixed gym and I remember whites and blacks backing me on this one). I understand the history is much different but thats the best way to handle things these days IMO. Make the racist feel like the idiot they are.

That's exactly the first picture that came up when I did a google search for "what the fuck!".

Anyways, just wanted to break the ice with a little racially (in)sensitive and (a)sexual preference.

That is a loooooota lovin baby!

Is that why you play the double standard game with blacks and muslims here? Everyone else is fair game but them?

not even remotely true.

It's very true. You can bash good honest white politicians as much as you want here, but point out anything negative about Muslims and it gets deleted. You may not realize your double standard, but it's there.
