"Get it real black people"
As I don't open video links on these boards, was your quoted comment "Get it real black people" in the video because in your article link it has pictures of white rioters in addition to black.

Paul, magichat was just told elsewhere that repeated use of the F bomb was not cool.. the CoC allows for some profanity, but not excessive.. it sounds like this video doesn't meet that guideline. just because you 'warned' people doesn't make it right..
additionally, you are on a real roll this week with posts about blacks in general. i'm not saying you're racist in any way, but there are other things to discuss.

Did Paul use any profanity on this thread? I do not see any "edit" on his part, or is the warning for another thread?
Or is it in the video? I did not open it, so I do not know.

I used no profanity, and I did warn that there was profanity in the video so that participants could choose for themselves whether or not to view / listen to the clip precisely because I didn't want to deliberately offend anyone. I don't know that there's anything else to discuss that's a bigger story than the economy and the civil unrest around the world. The fact that some of it centers around race isn't something I can help, nor is it something I'm inclined to ignore. I think it's a serious issue and ignoring it is actually counter-productive. I think discussions of race relations, particularly views that challenge the prevailing dogma on white on minority racism, and that expose reverse racism have been tamped down for some time due to PC regulations, laws, corporate policies, and social pressure. I come at life from a view that one of the keys to successful outcomes in any conflict- and there are conflicts here- is not to shy away from conflict. But rather to permit the conflict to occur within boundaries that keep the fight civil and fair. Other than that, we should have it out. Get our issues out on the table, find area of conflict, and find solutions. |

Hey...I know the pasty white dude with the Three Musketeers goatee, white suit and string tie in the first two "Masked Thugs" series photos about half way down the page. Should I call the tip in now? |

Get our issues out on the table, find area of conflict, and find solutions. pbp-you say you want a discussion on race relations yet you highlighted only black rioters. i am now watching the national nightly news and they are discussing the rioting. some of the rioters are as white as Queen Elizabeth. Yet you have made zero mention of the white rioters. And what exactly does this thread had to do with race relations? te] |
