    You start a thread about (what constitutes) racism, then when an example is provided you go hysterical ?

    We have a lot of people who are very quick to accuse other members of racism. I propose a rule that would require the accuser to support his/her allegation with relevant quotes that show clear evidence of racism or be banned from the forum, either permanently or for a predetermined period of time.

    I think we should have rule where dumbfuckery is followed-up by a 2,000 volt blast through the interwebs.

    There's probably an app for that.

    Are you opposed to forcing accusers to substantiate their accusations?

    That would never work here because the VIPS would be battling over whats racist and what isnt. Alot would depend on who you are history has proven that.

    Someones pal gets reported first thing is DEFINE RACISM. I do disagree with you that there would be alot of people banned. Disliking, disagreeing being against are not racist.

    I'm opposed to mods banning people based on their political opinion of what constitutes racism. If some white supremacists want to post their garbage, let them - and if somebody wants to call them racist, let them do that as well.

    Racism is an important issue and we can't talk about it when you can get banned for being a racist as well as banned for accusing others of racism.

    Man, SJWs are the worst.

    Defining what's racism and trying to document it is pissing in the wind.

    Defining race baiting and enforcing it is easier, I don't understand why the forum can't focus on that.

    tPF did a great job of getting rid of the white supremacist types a while back but struggles with the black race baiters here. Baiter, singular.

    Why bother? People are getting so freakin stupid, they call anything they dislike; "racist." I've been called a racist because:

    1) I don't support Israel,
    2) I don't support Obama,
    3) I don't support Obama's transgender ultimatums,
    4) I am against war.....

    ...none of these has a thing to do with race but the ignorance level of forum posters (overall) has shot up dramatically over the years. These are the same people whom are so stupid, they can't use a hyperlink, have two minute attention spans and can't tell the difference between a fact and opinion....why even bother?
