Why do we move discussion of race to the Hole?

Pop Quiz: when the "word" Chicago is brought everyday on this forum, in what context is in and who brings it up?

It's actually brought up in a variety of contexts and by multiple members. Oh, and you're more a checkers man. Trust me.

Do you believe people come to this forum by google searches or invites from forum members? I just don't buy that, but ok.

I think its stupid that we can have fifty million threads with videos of stupid people doing stupid things but we cannot talk about issues of race if it's remotely controversial.

Blame me. I reported it as I saw it as hate speech. In view of what is happening in the world and all the anti semitism in the air it offended me and I'm not even Jewish. There was nothing in that post that was conversation. It was hate speech. So, blame me.

Why do you feel it was hate speech?

Let me say this, part of why we are disliked is because at times we are overly sensitive. I'd rather have a logical discussion on the topic than censor it to prove that a) I'm not afraid of discussion and b) to promote rational thinking and speech.

Talking about Race and saying Racist things are totally different.

Most intelligent people know the difference.

Indeed. They often do. Then again intelligent people also take into account what is said by a person based off of past behavior. You got no street cred man. All of your 'back to black' and 'there's nothing you can do about it' junk, kinda turns people off.

You have a clearly identifiable rap sheet on you. Every now and then you say something which makes sense. And it catches my eye everytime I see it, because I have to double check the poster identity.

Despite your numerous grotesque qualities and statements, you stir discussion - the sole reason you are allowed to remain on the board. The necessity of your evil is always being challenged.

The only thing I would add to this is that the stifling of discussion is what leads (directly, IMO) to the outburst we just saw. When you try to bury legitimate concerns/grievances they almost always resurface in a far more extreme and grotesque form.

That would of course be the primary context.

Well if me talking about Race is like rubbing your nose in $#@! ... then maybe it's your problem with race and not me.

I find Jewish groups annoying cos they try to stifle every negative bit of speech allowable, but Jewish people are tops.

It wasn't censored. If I had felt it rational I would not have complained.
