A'ight guys, I will be watching.

Watching what?

I asked you to explain yourself last time when you said I was "skating on thin ice". I asked you to explain why. You failed to explain. Now I ask you to explain again what it is that you are watching? what are you the guardian of? What is it that you are watching.

I've got a question for you hot shot? How old are you?

I will start by asking a quick question, so I can determine how best to answer your question. Do you understand what the moderators duty is on this board? By the way, I list my age..33.

I know you're going to think I'm being a jerk, but really I would have guessed your age to be somewhere between 18 and 21. I didn't think you were yet out of college.

Doesn't bother me at all. Now I ask again, do you understand what the moderators duty is on this board?

I split this out not to pollute your original thread with moderator talk.

Greybeard I think that varies from board to board. I've been banned from boards just because of my conservative views and the moderators of that board used a lot of profanity. I never used profanity. I'm not attempting to use profanity now. I just think there is a horrendous amout of paranoia over the word *igger. You do know that that black guys call each other that ALL THE TIME? Don't you?

I'll ask about my track record. Show me one time when I used profanity on this board?

I split this thread out, not to discuss the original thread but your reaction to my original post.

A'ight guys, I will be watching.

I think it is pretty self-explanatory. I really think you have attempted this topic before, and it didn't end very well, so I made the first comment.

The "A'ight guys, I will be watching" comment, was not directed solely at you, but instead it was to the whoe board. In other words, I am going to let the thread go as long as everyone will stay on topic and not let emotions take over. You must admit that this topic could be like dynamite.

I have been around the spin room long enough to know that when things go bad in here the go real stinking bad. Sorry, if you think I am coming down on you, it's not meant that way. Just being the local watchdog and letting everyone know that I will be watching.

Now, as far as the "skating on thin ice" I will have to research back to see what that was about. I remember it, but don't remember the details.

I explained to you why I said that originally in your thread Why do blacks speak Ebonics?....

I think that comment was over the line. Choose your words carefully.

Maybe you should start a thread on something that isn't in some way critical of black people.

Alright, but that kind of leads back to my topic in the thread "Why aren't we allowed to call black guys *iggers"? Why aren't we allowed to be critical of blacks? Blacks have gotten a free pass for 40 years now. Their crime rate is through the roof. Their illigetimacy rate is through the roof. And, we aren't even allowed to criticize them about it. Why?

I'm sure you have figured me out. That's the very reason I start threads like this. Not because I'm racist, but because we as whites aren't suppossed to be allowed to talk about subjects like this. So, that's why I start them. And if I may be so honest, you seem to have a pretty typical moderators stance--you want to shut people like me up. Why? I don't start these discussions to flame blacks. I start these discussion to see if we can even get to the point where we can discuss it without it being ended by a white moderator.

You said these types of topics can become like dynamite. You're right. You know more about moderating than I do. But why do you think they become like dynamite? Because us white folk just aren't allowed to be critical of aspects of black culture without being censored. Why?

Sorry, I know this is a rerun, but at a time like this I just can't express it any better

Hope, you don't mind me adding my two cents, GB.

That's the main point I think Graybeard is getting at. You can be critical of individual black people, or even groups of black people, but to just group the entire race together and talk about THEIR problems is absurd. That would be like talking about all the white people. You know, they live in trailers and listen to heavy metal music. Sure that covers some white people, but it is not representative.

Your characterization of blacks on this board is not "being critical," it is being racist. That's why your statements are powder kegs. We've had plenty of good conversations on race and culture on this board, it is not a banned subject.

Quote:I just want to have the freedom to call a black guy that without it costing me my job or getting banned from a sports board--just like black guys do.

I've never seen anybody on here or at my work place using words like this.

Just didn't want to make another thread.

...and so it goes. Talk radio is still talking about it. TV is still talking about it. Drudge has had it up for two days running...as the headline. Yes, I'm talking about Michael Richards. However, aside from talk radio, does anyone remember this getting that much attention?

Racism goes both way, certainly.

And that guy subscribes to 9 ways of woo, as well.

No, I'm not trying to be critical of the black race. I just want the same privledges that blacks have. If a black guy doesn't like me and calls me Phillsbury or Snowman, I want to be able him a stupid street *igger.

You seem to think the N-word is more offensive than the F-bomb. I've heard that word kicked around at work a lot. F*** is far more offensive of a word to me than ******. If I call some black guy a "****** with an attitude" that doesn't mean I'm racist. It just means it's the best way I can think of to describe him. Most black people aren't really offended by it. They know what I'm talking about. They know I don't dislike the guy just because he's black. It's white males and especially members of the white media that go absolutely ballistic over this. Why? I'm tired of this forced socialism communist style of relating to blacks. It's a complete fabrication. Let's get real.
