Cool

Does anyone know if there's actually anything on this forum that addresses the malice use of racist remarks?

I don't mind talking facts and history, but what of use intended to hurt?

i'm surprised that nobody has ranted on about, freedom of speech. there is no censoring on this forum, people can just continuously mouth off. we are expected to act in a civil way towards one another, without there having to be a mediator. i guess some of us will never reach that stage of maturity.

wait a minute, is that what you were talking about, or am i off.

Is freedom of speech the right to abuse and insult and willfully attack someone?

I don't mind who says what to me, but some people have malliciously used forms of racist remarks not inteded as conversation but as insults. That I'm afraid I do not agree with.

to the group:

yes while racism can be explained through free speech,it is and apparently will always be used to insult various peoples.
no matter how hard i try to accomodate people and remain neutral,it is virtually impossible to see any changes in our cultural climate towards each other.
in light of two arguments,one with PLATO and the other with ARISTOTLE,i fear that the worst has to happen before anyone will see the errors being committed in the name of higher causes and such.
to me i dont think racism will stop, it will be continuously forced on us by those who usurp unearned power and guilt off of innocent and honest people who just want to live a happier life without the undue pressures placed on us by church/state and its followers.
i am not in the habit of trying to appear busy or important,my job is to shock and wake people up to the issues at hand,some just want to sleep right throug it.
does it make it fair for me to use language?
who knows,when it comes to duality one gets cut with the double edged sword of misjustice.
even when i try not to use such language,that doesnt prevent others from calling me names(so why do i have to turn the other cheek?,so i can get slapped on the other side.
aw come on!, get real!
you guys really dont have a clue as to what the fight is all about!, freedom?, ha! ha! ha! ha! what a hoot!
