Why is it so difficult to have a honest discussion on here regarding racial matters.

[Sundance508]

Now of course that is true of most message boards.......the mods are so highly sensitized to the controversial nature of any topic dealing with race that they misinterpet their own rules in order to squash such discussions,

As noted in a previous post....I axed a simple question....why are there so many American-Africans in Television Commericials?

The post was moved so they said....but I searched the board and could not find it.

They claimed it had nothing to do with politics....I contend it has everything to do with politics....aka political correctness.

Also...it brings up another matter....there are other minorities in America....why cater to only one minority. We have chinese, spanish, muslim and other minorities...is there even an adequate representation of them on T.V. commericals in regards specifically to the perecentage of that minority in regards to the total population. There are huge numbers of Mexicans in America...how often do you see them in Commericials? Very rarely...yet everytime a commericial pops up it usually has at least one black in it....even though they are only l2% of the total population.

Now they said this post was race baiting...it comes nowhere near the definition of that term.

This is a legitimate question and quite worthy of discussion.

I saw a quote from Morgan Freeman who said, " If we don't talk about Race maybe it will go away ".

This board welcomes the most racist hate groups in the country and actively discourages posting by real Americans.

Sigh... I'm not responding to the first few posters for a reason. The original question posted in headline of the OP is worth discussing.

That must be why I get banned all the time. They don't like real Americans, they like the LGBTers, Black radicals, illegals and other leftist internationalist anti-nationalist hate groups.

There is a portion of the right that is truly racist and applies double standards when discussing race.

There is a MUCH larger portion of the left that is racialist and applies double standards inverse to the racists when discussing race.

Those who have the same expectations for people's behavior despite their race will get called a bleeding heart liberal by the former group and a racist by the latter.

Once the mud starts flinging, all bets are off.

Thread closed.

If you have an issue with specific moderation - you know the rules. PM one of the staff, do not discuss it on the open boards.

If you wish to discuss the topic, it's perfectly fine to post it in the appropriate forum (Race/Race Relations).
