Is the Zone 1 Race Relations/Racism sub-forum little more than a "Bait" sub-forum?

[1srelluc]

Ever get the notion that 87% of threads started there are "bait" threads started by the "usual suspects"?

And mostly....

....at that!

Why the sub-forum's very name is bogus given that "racism" is just a lame social construct devised to put folks at loggerheads with each other.....There is only one race.

Maybe Ethnic Relations would be more to the point and just eliminate the "racism" part altogether.

What say you?

This is what you get when you have moral cowards running the show.

I'm not casting shade on the management....Anyone can make a mistake.

Just a bit of revamping to reflect (and fix) what it's become.

I don't suspect any of the management thought it would turn into such a Z-1 clusterfuck.

The liberals want the primary focus of bigotry to center around blacks, thus the forum name. I’ve suggested a more inclusive name to encompass prejudice against all minorities, but it was rejected.

Anyone can make a mistake, yes.

When that mistake is obvious, yet not recognized and action taken on it, that stems from moral cowardice...Particularly so in this case.

What is baiting and do whites bait here?

When the damage created by white racism is fixed, we can stop talking about race. Race and ethnicity are 2 different things.

It was rejected because of your anto black bigotry.

As the master baiter arrives, like a moth to a light bulb.

I have no anti-black bigotry. I point out and object to double standards.

Why, for example, should we have a dedicated forum for racism, when antisemitism is at its highest point since WWII Nazism?

….and calling people who point out unfair double standards “racist,” also right on cue.

Best just to avoid that area, nothing good comes of it

What is especially galling to me is watching an antisemitic mod referring to you by antisemitic slurs for Jewish women while censoring you.

Yes….eggs me on with slurs, and then deletes my posts. Thanks for remembering.

We REALLY need a rule that any mod who enters a thread to condemn, demonize, or otherwise harass a poster should not simultaneously be able to delete that poster’s posts.

Nobody is forced to post in any of the various forums here. If you don't like the Race forum then don't post in it. It's that simple.
