I always knew JimRob could do that...

We are a nation of cowards and we refuse to have the conversation about race which we so desperately need to have.
What “above article”? Why not link it?
Whatever, still a bit CS as far as I am concerned, but no one has called me PC that I know of. A spade is a spade and all that, tired of cringing media types that refuse to do their job.
Didn’t want to push my luck.
For example, I think a culture that regularly refers to women as being bitches and whores ("ho's") is very inferior to my own culture. I believe a culture that extols "gangsta" behavior is also inferior.
There are other cultures that I greatly admire and think may be superior to my own culture.
And there is not a 100% correlation between race and culture, either.
So, I guess I'm prejudiced! :O
Sometimes a thread that gets a lot of flaming gets yanked rather than the flames being put out one by one. I guess it’s less headache for the moderators. It seems half of FR is comprised of master painters with a broad brush, which in touchy areas like this can hurt feelings all around.
Cool. I’ll push mine then.
Can’t say “mulatto”, can’t say “Osambo”, can’t say that Jews want to “repair the world”, but can say that Apple computer users are “gay”. Hurray!
I thought that was what “locking” a thread was for.
Long before I encountered a fat Oriental female teenager who behaved and spoke like a black ghetto denizen, long before that, I knew that it was culture, not race.
It could be put a bit both more precisely and more diplomatically, like why is so much misbehavior engendered by American black culture. It gets to be a battle of the broad brushes very quickly. We all know many black people in America that we’d never be ashamed to be found in the company of. It’s a pity that per capita to their race they are far fewer than those of other colors, and yes it is self-racism that is to blame.
That’s mostly when they want to redirect discussion to an older thread of which the locked one is a duplicate. If there’s mostly a bunch of flames, then it all gets rolled up and tossed out.
Good to hear feedback from everyone, but alas I must hit the sack. It’s been a very strenuous several days for Mrs. P and me keeping the grandchildren.
No! You cannot do that, a certain FR member will come prancing in here with his logo attached, and tell the world that this is hate speech and he is a protected class on FR and will sic the mods on you.
BTDT
What bemuses me is, perhaps, how much white Hellywood (pun) profits from this misbehavior. Dysfunction sells media. All the rap, no limit n-word crap that guys like Trayvon came out of, it’s making white moguls rich, not just black artists who get all the visible glory.
