and it's obvious who is on the other side and who is in the middle. and you do call it out all the time

Just cause someone does not agree that every time something non-positive happens to a black it is not racism, does not mean they are not racist. I advocate a country in which race is not a factor ever. I have always hired, promoted and treated people without regard to race,, however I get labeled racist because i feel that some black people are a greater enemy to black people than white people/

Here's the problem with this statement. We're our brother's keepers. And we shouldn't be. White people get to act a fool, yet there's no burden to carry. You're not responsible for anyone's actions but your own. A black person acts up, I have to carry their weight. I have to represent because they don't. It's not right.

either you are making a very sly joke or you have not been around very many people in your life that used racial epithets

Wrong on both accounts.

You spade calling a spade a spade in reference to, anyway down here that would be a racial slur big time

As for the other if universal means you and 5 or 6 people you usually agree with then by all means Universal. I know at least 5 members here who strongly disagree with that statement, and no they are not all from the far other side of the fence

Tell you what. You start using words like sometimes when talking a bout Job discrimination, some when talking about white privilege , a few when talking about white racists , and I will try to be less universal in my statements

You learn I learn fair enough

What would be fun is for one day to give everyone mod privileges in this sub-forum.

Would it go all Lord of the Flies? Or would it self regulate.

I was not referring to anyone in particular so it would be unwise to interpret my comment as anyting other than what it was. Context. Context. Context.

You are correct. You used 'universal' incorrectly and I followed suit. None of the names you mentioned would be considered universal choices, according to your own set of rules.

You left out ' Besides Marvin is Black, and we can't be giving their kind that sort of power. '

BS. Marvin is just another imaginary schlub on the internet, just like you & I. Any claim to "color" or "privilege" is equally BS. Make your point; defend your standpoint. The rest is ASCII noise.

1st comment--I was trying to be humorous forget about it

I never said any of the people I thought would be good, would be universal, I am not that delusional . What I am able to do is look beyond agreeing with people on issues at look at people as persons.

Almost to a person, most of the people on my list very rarely agree with me on much, I respect them because they can disagree with out the vinegar, face palms, and smug assertions that somehow they are mentally superior because they hold a different viewpoint, which leads me to think they would be fair and not rush to action

I still like AJ's idea of community moding through up/down votes.

That means during the day I could not post.

When all the people who post at work left, and the night weekend crew fired up I might stand a chance Vice-versa my loyal opposition posting on off hours. You know how it would work. You vote my post down , then I vote your post down

You don't think like that because you are not like that .

I dunno, I don't think people here are that bad.

I think most people would be good with it, but there are a few who would not doubt abuse it.

Most of them aren't.

Still, what is the reason a few believe this corner of the forum need special moderation? It doesn't seem to be a universal notion by any definition. Edited June 12, 2014 by Gegel

That's all I ask.

I'm real enough, and who uses the word schuld anymore? And I've tried to make my point and defend my standpoint plenty of times with you, but it always comes off as "demonizing" or worth a laughing emotioncon.
