Is there any way to discuss racism on these boards without getting banned???/

Oh, the way to go is to couch one's opinions in politically correct terms and avoid saying what you really want to say.....I get it now.
Like not saying f.k you, you idiot, when you really wanna say, f.k you, you idiot..

Then the point has been lost.

F.k you, you idiot.


Ya know, Grand Torino had a lot of good points.

As it is kitten, so shall it be done.

No Mark, the way is to take the raw emotion out of it, find and discuss the issue that causes the emotion. Just like any adult conversation. It can't be held at the playground level or all you get is name calling.

I would like to emphasize this statement because it is important. I think some racism stems from the belief that certain races are a certain way, when in fact this is just plain FALSE.
It's certain socioeconomic groups that are a "certain way". Mainly, the poor, in inner-city drug addicted and prostitute laden neighborhoods. There is no one race that fits into this classification, as if you spent a day in the worst neighborhoods you would find people from black to white to Hispanic to Asian.

The real issue, is socioeconomic. End of story.

Socioeconomics is the difference.

Socioeconomics is the difference.

You just shot down all those wonderful rags to riches stories. Now I'm disenchanted.

Yep. Poor people from the inner city, can grow up to do amazing things and/or become rich and or famous. It just takes a proper mindset, and requires that the tools be there to teach one that there is a way. It starts with the parents. But changes need to happen in society in general, as well.

Take identical twins. Separate at birth. One grows up in Harlem. One grows up in the Hamptons. Which one graduates Harvard? Which one gets a GED in Sing Sing?

DNA plays no role. Socioeconomics is the difference.

Very clever

What I don't understand is that you claim you want to have a discussion about racism, yet when people attempt to engage you, all you do is get belligerent, or you think you're being cute and witty.

Where's the discussion? Where's the point and counter-point? Or is this just another example of "I want to state my opinion and screw everyone that disagrees with me"?
