IMHO, closing threads just because they contain videos of black people in them is racist.

It just wouldn't happen if it was a video of a white man beating up on defenseless old Korean people.

I just don't know if I can continue being a part of a forum that doesn't value equality.:depressed

It is the responses that are the issue. This has caused some not to post as often in this forum. Racism has deep roots and it shows.

Mainly because the thread doesn't lead to blatant racism if it was a white guy instead. Everything is fine and dandy when white people loses their cool and actual discussion without racism takes place. But nooo, when a black guy loses his cool, in comes the virtual lynch mob.

Im ok with closing that thread.
What Im not ok is letting those "molester and molester-like" trolls still post. I know they're just trolling but c'mon man.

Too true. With being anonymous and reading a forum that has very very few restrictions really shows the raw and true deal that goes on in an individual's head. It's very very nasty and dark with deep seated issues.

Its just the same old people who can't control themselves why does it warrant a thread every time it happens?

Why, because they responded to a post about "i'd go for jail over that"? Not even close to the same issue.

I'm not sure which side you're taking. Joking "I'd go to jail for that" is not cool IMO. I get that some teenagers today look like they're 20 something. But it doesn't make it OK to let those kind of jokes slide. Because over time, some people will think it's OK.

It's far worse than making a racist joke. IMO
