I noticed that when people tell the truth on this website, they are classified as racist, a lier, ignorant or a trouble maker. Since when does learning and asking intelligent questions make you a racist or ignorant.

Why DO the truth make people racist? Well, when you give an answer that people dont like (truth or not) somehow it always seems to get construed as a racist answer.

The problem is that most of the masses are ignorant and uneducated, but a lot of them have computers and the Internet. I can't understand why people have problems with people loving and knowing their heritage, but they do. On the same hand, no one respects a wanna-be. I have no problem with a white person loving being white, as long as they are not racist. I don't care for racism in black people either, nor any other race, but I hate it when black people are ignorant to their own heritage, and act as if they are brain washed.

I don't think anyone was trying to be racist and if you really want to open a can of worms then be prepared to get dirty. You say that you asked an intelligent question trying to get an honest answer and there it is for ya. Come on now and don't act so dumb that the fire got a stoked as it did, what were you expecting in an answere to that?

This site is all about people's opinions. Unfortunately few of the people on here are mature enough to accept a difference in opinion without resorting to name-calling to vent their frustration at having their opinion challenged.
The other factor that causes friction on this site is that people tend to be intolerant. This site is open to all, so varying levels of maturity and intelligence are represented. When a 15 year old girl asks something about her period, I'm not really very interested in her question because i'm a forty year old male. Some people equate their level of interest in a question with the merits or "intelligence" of a question.
In the case I just mentioned it would be easy for me to dismiss the question as "stupid", when in actual fact it's a very pertinent question to a 15- year old who is looking for knowledge.

You haven't posted one single semi-intelligent question yet. Don't even presume to be insulted when people get tired of attempting to read the ignorant garbage that you keep spewing forth and decide to tell you just how wrong you are. And at least learn to use the spellchecker, since you seem to be incapable of using correct grammar.

It's the old "shoot the messenger" syndrome.
People tend to have preconceived ideas about how life should be. If anyone challenges those preconceived notions, they are BAD.
If they are challenging a scientific view, they are "ignorant."
If they are challenging a social taboo, they are "evil."
If they are challenging a preconceived notion about race, they are a "racist."
It's life.

I think the problem is when people either distort the truth or mistake their opinions for fact.
