Man I'm glad Avante can't start threads anymore. He would have already started a whole new thread about racism and swimmers with a long list of sprinters in it.
That sort of reasoning has always befuddled me, who cares who starts what thread? I bet I don't read 95% of the threads here. You act as if you must read every thread, which I find a bit comical. Why not just read those threads you find interesting, it works for me.
I do think it's wrong to go around playing critic while you yourself do nothing else besides that.
Racists already have an extreme "victim" mentality, stuff like this doesn't really help. Unless you know that they have some kind of influence where their racism can have any impact. Most of these guys are bottom rung nobodies whose racism comes from hating their own life so much.
Come on Avante you know you care who starts what thread. Why else would your go to defense when people insult your threads be to search their thread history to link examples of their crappy threads?
How many times have you seen me enter someone elses thread only there to criticize them? I've done that a few times with Kool and that's it, I don't like to play that. And, I do carry my weight, I don't come here relying on everyone else to haul me around.
If someone is going to enter a thread of mine totally ignoring the topic and only there to play critic, only then do I draw attention to the fact their output really doesn't warrant them being in any position to be a critic. As we have all seen it's so easy to point towards those critics short comings when it comes to making threads.
Be cool with me and it will be cool, play the critic and so will I.

This isn't a matter of tolerating racism, though..I'll preface by saying I didn't read the link in the OP, so I could be understanding incorrectly, but it's regarding somebody being exposed over internet comments, where there was assumed anonymity?..
If so, that's not a matter of public racism, it's a matter of private racism, so I don't believe it would have any affect on social acceptance..whether it's fair or not, the internet gives you an anonymous voice to express your opinions, mostly opinions that people would never have the courage to say in real life, and that's fine IMO..controlling mainstream media and any potential influence on racism among young kids, etc is fine(although if their parents are racists, it probably won't matter, anyways), but that's not the issue here, we're discussing personal beliefs that are being expressed in a private setting..
I don't believe that we should be searching for private racists and exposing them IRL, it sets a bad precedence, and it only worsens race relations IMO..
For example, Donald Sterling should have received backlash for being a slum lord that exposed race to his advantage, but taking his team away for private comments he made was ridiculous..you can't force people to change their beliefs..

I've been with black/Asian/white/Hispanic women. I'm telling you how things really are and anyone who has been in my situation will agree, I guarantee it.
Hispanic women are the best lovers, talk about wet and hot, there it is. The passion is on another level.
We are different and anyone having some need to play pretend has the problem.
