BlazerBoy said:My only point throughout this entire discussion is that the color of someone's skin is really only a skin deep difference.
I'm sorry but I never see anything in history books about people 2 centuries ago complaining about how boring their sovereign nations were.We don't have to be color-blind, because it would be a rather boring place if everyone was exactly the same way.
That's like saying a strawberry is "better" than a raspberry, I agree.But we also shouldn't come to the conclusion that one color is better than another.
I'm glad we can discuss things over the internet without being jeered by Antifascists, or skinheads.That's just my opinion though, and I can accept that some don't share it.

Six: I think a lot of racism is based in real life experiences, I just hope people are open-minded enough to not let their views on an entire race be dictated by a few isolated events, or perhaps what they see or read in the media. I agree with your assesment there. As for Reparation and AA, I think they already are a cause for racism, being based in racist exlcusivity themselves.
Number_6 said:Racism is an extremely complex problem, but it's a problem that is perpetuated by the black community just as much if not more than by the white community, at least in 2006 versus 1966. Blacks need to take some responsibility for showing us positive images of their culture. That's the way you're going to get a lot of people to renounce their racism. The way we're going about it now is just getting them to not express it.
I think we should start branding those who aren't here to take part in an important debate and an expression of free speech.BitchSlapSmitty said:You're mad cause one black guy got a holiday?
Sardonica said:Oh, please. Some speech is intelligent, some is not. Some speech is worthy, some is not. Do the endless "LOLs" and "Cunts!" really have the same merit as a discussion/debate over racism? I think not. And yet, here I am---founder and admin of TK, making it possible for EVERYONE to have their say, whether it be an intelligent discourse, or a cunty LOL. Yes, I espouse Free Speech, and I practice what I preach.
And yes, I lambast those whom I don't agree with, what's wrong with that? But do I censor them? No. That's the beauty of a TK and a Free Speech BBS. No need to thank me, but... you're welcome.
Oh, and speaking of being shallow and having no substance, how's about your endless vulgarities and sexual threats against T'Bonz and her daughters? Those were surely among the most embarrassing and and shallow posts ever to grace TK. Looks like old T'Bonz has gotten under your skin almost as much as Howard.
LOL.

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.

missmanners said:Why doesn't anyone ever mention repatriation in connection with reparations?
I guess I'm the biggest racist on this board, because I believe that races ARE different. I believe it goes deeper than skin color obviously. Different races have different cultures and I find a whole lot about other cultures in general annoying.
I should be able to complain about these traits that annoy me withoutout being labeled a racist. Because many of them have to do with common sense and courtesy. And guess what? I see a group of 6-10 young black men sauntering out in the street, walking behind my car as well as in front of it, I dont get that same warm fuzzy feeing I do when it's little white Girl Scouts peddling cookies....
.... not all discrimination is bad.

CoyoteUgly said:I'll put it this way: how many federal holidays are devoted to individuals? Two I can name: Christmas and MLK day. One Jew and one black.
MLK day, if you want to have one, should be dedicated to the civil rights movement and should recognize those who actually contributed to the whole evolution. It's nothing more than a day to placate the militant blacks in this nation. It's a sop. Nothing more.
