    Had a black man tell me once that he liked the South better than the North because in the South, you knew who was racist.

    The porn sector is more "moral" than many on the right, since it is willing to pay them what they are worth, for their work.

    Were you not seeking an honest critique on racism, but instead seeking to validate your claimed morality of it with a comparison?

    Two points here.

    There is no moral basis for racism. I must say I am a bit amazed when one criticizes atheism as being immoral in a quest to lend some moral credence to hatred of people due to their skin color. It is an amazingly un-Chirst-like display of irony.

    Second, there is no intellectual base for racism. You are taking the actions of an individual and projecting them upon everyone, which is beyond silly.

    Wrong.

    Sorry, time to relegate your distortions of history to the "ignore" bin... once again.

    Bye.

    You, as much as most of the other respondents here are still not making it clear or not providing me with an example of this racism as it pertains to having an effect on your personal life or on our economy. What exactly is this institutionalized racism you speak of? And who is being denied opportunities? And if there are people being denied opportunities, then please tell me how it is the racists who are doing the denying. Didn't leftist programs like affirmative action and quotas fix those perceived problems long ago? How can racists be responsible for the effectiveness of a leftist program? At least you're trying to come up with an answer to my question, whereas, there are others here that are totally stumped to give examples and thus have turned to the chicken out option that considers putting those who present trying questions on the avoid feature. Hoosier was right that at best people are only offended and or have their touchy-feely leftist sensibilities somewhat scarred by the very mention of a racist or of racism, despite the fact that they are not personally hurt by nor is the economy hurt by the words of a racist or by his mere presence in society at large.

    The weak of mind are not capable of debating this but use ignore so they do not have to have their delicate balance of their world view distorted with facts.

    What I saw here in responses from the left was exactly what I though would happen. You see, I believe liberalism is so mixed up and so wrong on every front that I relish the chance to produce posts that zero in on their foolishness....with this one being no different. I take these leftists to school on a daily basis here with the intent of getting at least one of them a month to see their pig-headed and wrong ways. Getting one or two them to put me on ignore tells me that I'm slowly winning the battle between we the mindful verse they the mindless.

    What if racism can be explained in terms of people's anger at feeling as if they have been castrated and/or their fear of feeling like they have been castrated?

    I don't know. There maybe something to that.

    Post #19 doesn't prove much of anything.

    It asked a question. Which directly refutes the OPs post #34

    We would not tolerate people walking up to random children and rattling their world with lies, hatred or threats... why would we tolerate "racism" which is effective at doing the same to ANY human being?

    DO NOT TOLERATE RACISM... it is much like making a place at your Family Holiday Celebration table for a bowl of material from your sewer or septic tank. That is exactly what it is to humanity itself.

    Never buy into the lies that anything good resides within racism; it is dehumanizing and putrid.

    Especially when you see some people here expressing extreme anger at black men who like white women, one wonders if, deep down inside, they are experiencing a fear of being castrated.

    One reason racism is tolerated is because it is a very effective tool that powerful people have used, and are using to this very day, to manipulate people.

    Of course.

    And that is why if people (and anyone on this forum) are serious about making things better, they'd start teaching themselves to see racism for what it is.

    The left, i.e. the Democrat Party in the U.S., use race very effectively to divide the population, that is then much easier to manipulate. If you don't agree with a policy?? you're a racist... weak people tend to back down in the face of such a charge, and those that don't are further pilloried and vilified.

    It's truly disgusting, but it is very effective... and of course the left is disgusting in every way anyway. They certainly have no compunction against engaging in disgusting behavior and tactics. Like a pig in mud... it's who they are.

    The left uses any tactic at their disposal to divide populations as a necessary step to destroying the culture of that society, seizing control of government and institutions, and of course outright stealing from the treasury - race, sexual orientation, environmentalism, war, terrorism, etc... all very effective tools used by the left to destroy societies and enslave the unsuspecting masses.

    I believe the right is more disingenuous by not being moral enough to bear true witness to our own laws.

    What is the "Democrat Party"? (No such thing exists.)

    They care little about morality. They may be just trying to prevent themselves from being castrated. Either that or maybe they are angry at already having been castrated.

    It may be one reason why I believe it is better for women to be able to bear true witness about being willing to fornicate us into relationships, simply for the sake of honesty as a moral and form of respect toward fellow human beings; instead of complaining about not being able to find mostly honest, mostly nice guys.

    Seriously, the truth is very important. We should never forget that.
