What occurs on the threads where the virulent racists do their thing is anything but a contructive discussion of race or anything like a reasonable debate. They spew racist ranting endlessly as a taunt, not as any attempt at reason or discussion.The racist shit is unfortunate and I do see it too much. Discussing race relations is one thing but insulting a race is pathetic.Not at all -- they DON'T want that stuff running amok in the forums that are public -- the race relations forum is blocked from non-members, much like the FZ.
A constructive discussion of race is one of the toughest to accomplish primarily because of the nature of the topic.
It's difficult because debate can't overrule years of stereotypes and personal experiences.
Its cyber bullying. Anyone who says they're black or gay gets hassled constantly for being black or gay.
We've had this conversation before and the bottom line is, if management didn't want them here, they would get rid of them.
