Mentalist said:You know, I don't care about PC values. I will joke about anything you can think of in your tiny little minds. Blacks, whites, asians, midgets, disabled people you name it it's fair game by me..
But there is an ugly racist streak through quite a few members here where it moves well away from simple jest.
Intelligent folks must be able to see that painting broad strokes over an entire race is fucking dumb.
Spouting this racist junk shows nothing but how blinkered some of you are. I don't frankly give a fuck about all the statistisc that are dredged up as some sort of validation for hate mongering. People are people and should be valued in their worth as individuals not as a member of a colour.
Yeah free speech, harp on all you want, but it's not funny nor clever and frankly it disgusts me.

Believe what you wish, I wouldn't even think of trying to change your mind, for eventually you'll whip yourself up into a frenzy trying to get me to change my ways. I find that a bountiful source of entertainment because as they say, if you only knew.
I'm not trying to change anyone's opinion, I just agreed with what menty said.
BlazerBoy said:Number_6, and whoever else is looking to actually discuss, and not troll, I have some open ended questions for you. I want you to give me your honest feelings on the issues below, because I get the sense we might actually agree on a lot of them.
1. African American Reparations and
2. Affirmative Action
I'm not looking to incite a riot, I just want some honest thoughts from people on this.
I had all sorts of friends on the playground who weren't white with whom I played with because whites were a minority already in my school. I can't say whether or not I would have gravitated towards more whites if they were present.BlazerBoy said:I wouldn't call you an overt racist for making such a choice if you did. I think its natural on some level for us to feel a connection to those just like us, but there is also something to be said of how in a group of very young children, there seems to be absolutely no inclination to segregate on a playground. I've observed this and often wondered what it is exactly that changes in all of us.

Screw you, you arrogant, self-involved racist. :bigass: I'm smarter than you are.

...rants about a Jewish conspiracy
and worries about maintaining "racial purity."

Sardonica said:I'd kicked your ASS at Jeopardy, smash a Trivial Pursuit board over your head, run circles around you on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, and, well, You versus Me on The Biggest Brain would leave you more cremated than all the Jews in Auschwitz.
BlazerBoy said:I'll be completely honest and say I've never given it thought. My first inclination is to say I'll be 100% satisfied with whoever they bring home to meet me and their mother, as long as they are a decent person.
There are many people who don't consider themselves racists, as that term is now synonymous with a person who is hateful and spiteful, who see their race as being intertwined with their culture. Or it might be an aesthetic preference.BlazerBoy said:I'll be completely honest and say I've never given it thought.
