I avoid social media.

Until the black people in this country are ready to take responsibility for the bad behavior of their young people, the violence, disrespect for others, the gang-banging, gangsta’ rap mentality, disrespect for private property, knockout players, disregard for education, lack of appreciation for tax payers and their charity..., discussions about racism are idiotic and pointless. When all the black people who are ready for discussions of racism are ready to admit that they are racists, a good start can be made. Otherwise it’s just another opportunity for militant, self-pitying, people to practice their tired old rap.

As hives of scum and villainy go, this one’s not bad, but the band is awful.

I have opted to not join Facebook despite the requests and suggestions of associates. As far as Twitter, I have never commented and am not a member but I do use it occasionally as a source for information. It can be useless among the clutter.

Am I the only person left who doesn't live on Facebook and Twitter?

Nope, Lone Ranger, you've got Tonto here.

It’s racism to be racist against the wrong race.

I’m paranoid of being commercially profiled, myself.

I’m not racist. I hate a lot more whites than I do blacks, although that number has risen considerably since the obama came to power.

No. But those mediums are a good indicator of how completely stupid most people are.

I agree, fascination with social mediums are a good indicator of a person's intellectual development, or intellectual laziness. Most people who actually DO something in this world do not have either time or inclination to spend time on these things. Besides, they have enough social interaction during the day that they don't need more second hand meandering in their private time.

I am old fashioned. My Facebook account has people I actually care about and some acquaintances. I refuse to comment or get dragged into fruitless, non-virtuous, unrighteous speech about this issue.
