hmmmmm i can see where this thread is heading, i hope im wrong, but dont think so

Depends on your philosophy of moderation really.

Do you let things get out of hand and then close the thread? (lazy moderation.)

...or do you try and nip the more outrageous posts in the bud? (pro-active moderation.)

No i'm not saying that at all but til you stop looking at the world thru rose colored glasses you will never find the solution. I would never deny anyone anything cause of the color of their skin. i would only if they show no respect and don't work for it. Their is no free ride in this world. People are so full of the need for diversity they will go out of their way to find it. I'll tell you a true story. Their was this white mother of two who lived on a mid-western state where their is virtually no blacks. She was so full of diversity and thought here two daughters needed some she decided to move to East New York, Brooklyn. East New York is 99% Black. After 6 months here daughters were afraid to go to school since the kids in here new school didn't accept them in the name of diversity they only tried to rape them and harassed and rob them til they finally went back to where they lived before. I don't have the answers but pretending blacks and whites are the same is very ignorant.

Its not the creed or colour of your skin that makes you good or bad, its the lack of respect you have towards others.
Not all "White" people are good & not all "Black" people are bad.

Black & white CAN live together, if you have RESPECT for each other.

Nice example of a story m8.
But I could tell you a few stories, about what the whites did to the blacks that will make your eyes water and your buttocks cringe! But then this thread will be closed, so let just leave it at that.

i really want to say some things on this thread,but unfortunately i can see too much hatred and ignorance in quite a few posts and rather than add fuel to the fire im gonna keep my mouth shut
as has been pointed out already this is an open public forum and some things whether you think right or wrong should not be posted
i for one would like this thread closed and i think youre right gmb45 i can also see where this thread is heading

Or do you air an opinion and not mention moderation as we are members also?

Your lazy and proactive comments are noted.
