Let's Leave Out The Racist Posts

[FailingEnterpriseAdmin]

I like a good discussion and debate as much as the next guy, even on subjects that often get avoided in American discourse. And we might all do better by talking about racism more; we might understand more.

But when you start off a thread using the word "Darkie", it's over before you start. I see your IP address and some of the other threads you've started; you need to rein things in a bit. There's a difference between discussing and baiting. Learn it.

No way. Racial profiling is very accurate and makes for a good discussion. Toolbag.

You said it tough guy. That's right. I only want to read a bunch of profanity laced, misspelled tirades by a bunch of whiners & losers from now on.... That's what this site is all about, right?

Here, let me be even more clear. Yes, when I see racist or gay-bashing comments, or a few other things, I often delete them. I don't want anyone at Enterprise headquarters to be able to dismiss what we're saying here as "Oh, that's that guy who has that racist stuff on his dissusion board...". They're already looking for reasons to ignore us; let's not make it easy for them. Some people might even try to dilute our message by polluting the board with stuff like that.

It probably is censorship on my part. The First Amendment only says that government can't shut you up. It doesn't protect you from someone like me setting rules for guests on my own discussion board. If you want to describe African-Americans as "darkies", we don't want you here and I'm looking for the "delete" button.

If you have any other racist friends, please tell them that we proudly practice censorship here, and don't want their garbage. Be sure to scream "Censorship!!!" at the top of your lungs to be sure they really get the message.

I hope you were putting that up there to defend Admin because that's all you did. It plainly states "Congress shall not" meaning the Government which is just what he said. Now I on one hand think racism is funny and I am the first to admit I am racist.......but it's against everyone. When it is actually meant to put down, insult or just be a straight up ass then it's horse shit because on every level every race has one up on another. Besides, its all pink on the inside, they all look the same in the dark and you all look the same when your corpse is rotting in the trunk of my car after I bled you dry the week before and cut the flesh from your body to make a jacket and...........sorry wrong discussion board.

So if I leave race out of the situations described, it is okay to post? As if leaving the race out of it changes things.

So if a black person comes into our branch and f-bombs us and causes all kinds of grief, I should describe the event non-race specific? Or just use terms such as African-American?
