It is hard to define racism, and we don't want to stop people from talking about race issues.  If they are trolling with it we get them for that, otherwise it's not much of a problem....




I do dig your policy on that..:thumbup:

From what I have observed, and I'm one to probe the boundaries of the rules:stoned:

The site has the most latitude I have ever witnessed on a public forum.

Believe me, I have been kicked out of quite a few, simply because, from my opinion, the moderators were control freaks with gigantic swollen heads :eek:.

You mods appear to understand when we are joking with racism.  Further, you guys are quite down to Earth,and don't allow that power of your position to inflate your heads.

For example, 30 years ago, it was common place to refer to an African as a Negro. No one would have blinked an eye.
If you say it now in many circles you will be shunned.

Go to most night clubs where large groups of black people gather and you will find they call each other every name in the book, except white. :shrug:

Your past history shows that quite often you wouldn't recognize a racist bigot if one walked up to you and pissed on your foot.




:lol:  In a way I agree.  Anyone making the claim that they are not racist ever is not being honest or at best very aware of the little ways we can all be racist at times.




It depends on what is collectively being identified as racism. Do I have any intellectual belief or personal preference to discriminate based upon race? No. Am I comfortable identifying race-tied cliches and making jokes out of them? Hell yes. But is there any negative insinuation behind those jokes? No. So, either I'm not racist, or racism isn't something negative, though its use could possibly be any of negative, positive, or neutral. The only reason racism is a notable word and accusation is because of assumed derogatory and disrespecting intentions. So, if negativity and disrespect is internationally associated with racism, then I'm not a racist - ever. I'll let people figure out what they want to feel incensed over and make big whoops about at their own pace.

Racism is always negative and unproductive . Stereotyping, to me, isn't always bad.

I am a mod of that forum, I didn't handle that ticket however I would not have closed the thread because it turned into a good discussion around racism which is the point of the PS&P forum (debating, discussing things, even those that are not PC).

I am not racist at all, in fact my past history will show heavy infractions against racist bigots.




The fuck you aren't.  You are such a racist tool that you tried to ban me for using the word "Negro".  You are one of the most racist members here.

He's not singling out all black people, just those in to a specific culture. Therefore it's not racist.


racism
ˈreɪsɪz(ə)m/
noun
noun: racism

    1.
    the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.




You are also a racist in singling out Negro as being the only target of racism.
