Race is always going to be a big issue because everyone is queer to the subject. Every race plays that card, ( card being racism ), when they are denied for anything. People are just getting dumber and dumber every year. Pretty soon we will regress back to being cave men.

Its back open whoopee, but looks like the author of the post will not be able to participate since he feels insulting a Mod is going to make his wishes come true. I suggest for members who have issues with certain posts to exercise patience or send pms to Mods. The post was closed so Mods could review it which means it may reopen and takes a while since Mods are not online 24 x 7.

Every thread in this forum will be reviewed and moderated by me.
I have been keeping an eye on this thread all day, racism is ok to discuss, so long as you are having an INTELLIGENT conversation about it, and not one that says "All of those [insert race here] are lazy, non-working SOB's."

When it gets shut down, that learning stops.
back to the point, if people dont talk about stuff they dont learn about it. this is a private board so they mods can do whatever they want, however, ending a conversation like this is very counter productive to the entire issue being discussed.
if somone comes in and starts getting all racist, well, then we all know that person is garbage. let em show thier colors. lol
yo.

I dont believe any rasicm has been had in this thread, this isnt about race, its more then that. I think everyone can agree that every race/religion/sex should be treated equaly under the law, and that was what the post was about,
I believe it is an incredibly intresting thread.
I hope Greg wasnt banned for it though (or any other reason)

Wow, this thread got hot with a quickness. I agree, all the race & gender blocks on job applications should be removed. Unless your gender and race will make a difference in the ability to perform that job (i.e. special forces personnel need to blend in with the locals in certain circumstances). I know for a fact that racism is not dead, I've seen it happen to my wife at her work on several ocassions. But since she's a caucasian woman, she's afraid to bring any attention to it. Anyway, this thread has been fairly interesting to read, at least some of the posts have been. I'm glad someone had the testicular fortitude to bring the topic up. Many people, including myself normally, steer away from volatile topics like this on a web based forum.
