The power of the dark side is indeed strong at FR. Sometimes it's so strong you wouldn't even be surprised to find out that Senator Byrd hangs out here.

Thanks for the Imam links!
I liked this one:
"It is permissible to kill roaches at any time including the last ten nights of Ramadan.
And Allah Ta'ala knows best
Mufti E. Desai"
I take this as permission to fire when you are ready, Gridley.

I don't recall white Frat Rats defecating in peoples front yards, masturbating publicly, exposing themselves and having sex in public. And oh I forgot, beating the shit out of whites who stupidly wandered into their midst. White women who stupidly "join in the fun" are typically raped. If you don't believe this, just talk to residents of Biloxi, Miss. or Galveston, Tx. This is not "racism. Its facts.

i've been offended by the racism by christians and jews on this forum towards immigrants.
i've attempted to explain that our economy requires a 2.0+ replacement birth rate to function, that in the 1960s the boomers and successive generations have chosen not to produce enough children, the birthrate dropped to 1.7 or 1.8 in the late 1970s, consequently in the 1980s and 1990s illegal immigration satisfied this need for workers.
why blame others for what we did not do? reproduce.
one thread, for example, was the "mexicans told immigration reform dead..." of november 20th.
on this thread, reply #57, maalaea says "ken, mexico is a disease".
and, rwhine says, on reply #72, that "...the average san diegan is a mexican".
these remarks are offensive, and are racist, period.
racism is NOT a part of conservativism.

Actually, all of that has happened at Spring Break. That's why it was banned at Daytona and Ft Liquordale.

"...the average san diegan is a mexican". I believe it is actually true. I remember a story recently where whites were the minority in SD and 'hispanics' were the majority.

Wrong, these remarks at worst are bigoted or prejudiced, not racist. For a person or a comment to be racist, it must convey the fact that the speaker believes that the race the comments are directed at are genetically inferior to the speakers race and that the speakers race is a genetically superior race.

It seems to me that this thread is sort of dying out, but I have to respond to your post in which you ask if I was a member of either of the groups I referenced in an earlier post and asked how I could make the statement I had made if not.
There are few more asinine intellectual responses to a proposition than the simple minded assertion that if one is not a bona fide member of a commented upon group, than one cannot legitimately comment. I'm an amateur student of history, and based upon my readings in this area, I feel I'm in some position to comment upon the widespread sociological conditions of pre-Great Society American Culture. No, I'm not black, and no I wasn't a soldier in WWII, nor do I attend black only fraternity events in Florida. But I reject, out of hand, the position that because I am none of those things, I ought to simply shut my mouth, when it seems to me the issues being discussed transcend simply those racial and generational factors.
This is the close intellectual cousin of the offal usually proferred by pro-choice advocates. You know the one, "if you don't have a vagina, don't try to control mine". Well, I reject that flotsam, and see no reason to accept your jetsam.

I understand your point. What I don't understand is the pictures. To me, they seem disruptive. I found FR soon after 9-11 and "lurked" since then. I think I love ir (grin) but I don't love running into the pictures all the time. More likely than not, they seem to disrupt the flow of the debate. Even if I don't find the pictures offensive in some other context, the comments that follow usually are.
I clicked you and see you have been here a while. Can I ask why these pictures are allowed? I have seen them sprinkled into sooooo many threads. I just don't understand the purpose, other than to distract or disrupt the discussion. Thank you for sharing any insight your tenure can provide.

I'm not certain what pictures you're refering to? Specific pics from the pulled thread or is it pictures in general that you disapprove of. I'll be happy to try to answer if you clarify.

We are talking at cross purposes or you're being deliberately obtuse.
I needn't discuss "how it feels" to be anyone else for the simple reason that it isn't relevant to the discussion at hand. Trying to get into the heads of people and "seeing the world thru their eyes" etc, as a discussion technique for political commentary is the left's game.
You're welcome to it.
Otherwise, this discussion bores me. You can have the last word, if you like.

Huh? Could you restate your position? I do not understand what you're trying to say.
To: alcuin
That's not what I believe. I was just saying how people could categorize believers in such a way as if it's not possible to think for themselves while following the more positive teachings of a religion.
To: Humidston
Ok. The first part was why some Black people seem to think the feelings they have towards Whites are justified and why they are not truly racist. The other part was my saying that people seemed kind of programmed when it comes to labeling people, i.e. acting White or talking Black. They seem more prejudiced because they have the notions in their head but not necessarily racist because they don't genuinely believe in these notions or hate someone because of their race.
