Every time I log on someone is complaining about the way black people talk or look or dress. What IS that? Are there just that many screaming racists out there that I've never met?
And by the way, if you start a sentence with "I'm not a racist but..." chances are that you are.

I noticed that too, strangely enough. I think a lot of it has to do with the covert system of racism that operates within our society. People have been told that race is not an appropriate subject to be talking about, so then people end up relying upon stereotypes to define their views about "others" who are not like them. Maybe this is a sound board for a lot of people who, yes, are covertly racist, more out of ignorance than malice, who aren't sure how to distinguish reality from the stereotypes they've heard since childhood.

Shocking but true the World is home to a lot of screaming racist but this sort of format begs for screaming - - - Society should be more worried about the non screaming racist - - - the ones that casually turn aside when a person is being targeted for their color or ethnicity or sexuality or whatever. If it is comforting, it still works out to less than twenty % - - - much of the screaming is the same five to ten people. Peace.

Agree, way to many racists people on here! I think you don't see it in the real world because racist people are really just coward's. They do not have the baIIs to say anything to someones face, only behind the anonymity of the keyboard.

There are different people who express their views in different ways....Marvin Gaye is my favorite singer, and my favorite quote is in his song, "What's Going On?" it goes, "Only love can conquer hate."
