I don't see but a few posts that could be even remotely considered racist and even they are simply backlash that is caused by the whole racist/socialist idea of reparations..
you expect people to be happy about reparations? You expect us to admire a group who would ask for or even accept reparations? To animals credit he admits that it is a bad/stupid idea.
saburo... I would suggest that if you wish to attack people that you do it individually and not as a group lest you be tagged racist. I think you are simply kneejerk reciting what you think will make you apear progressive. I have to believe that because you seem so cowardly in your attacks. You don't defend reparations except to condem those who disagree as racist. A term that you seem to be unable to define as it applies to the posters.
btw funked is correct... Horowitz it correct as allways and much nicer than funked.

lazs2,
If you re-read my posts
First one:
The racist idiots spewing such hatred is very unamerican, at least in ideals. Perhaps, they should be the ones to "go back where they came from." We'll never evolve until we end this hatred based on stupidity. Quit being so insecure.
Second one:
BTW, if you were truly secure with yourself, and ful of self confidence, you'd not be attacking and insulting groups 'different' than your own. When I see prejudice, I see ignorance, hate, and insecurity in that person. LOL, the saddest part is that you don't realize it. Maybe it's worse than ignorance. You go figure it out.
Then a little later in this thread I started quoting not only the perceived racist posts, but also those that I perceived as prejudiced and/or hateful. I stopped after the first page as my quotes post was ridiculously long.
Many times in this thread I have stated Racist, prejudiced, and/or hatred. Those posts I quoted fall into one of those three catagories (some belong in more than one.) I didn't classify whole groups nor did I prejudge them. I judged the individual posts based on how I perceived them to be.
Are you insinuating that somehow someone can say racist and/or prejudiced things because they are upset with an issue or that they think an idea might be bad and that person is not racist and/or prejudiced?
I'll say it again. I think reparation payments are a bad idea also. So has every single person that had an opinion of reparations in this thread. My arguement has been about using prejudice, racism, AND/OR hatred as an arguement and/or solution to the reparations issue.
subaruro... judging from your own words you think that every post except those of the few you mentioned are racist.
BTW, please re-read my posts and show me the one that says all the posts I quoted were racist only. I did state the quotes to be racist, prejudiced, and/or hateful. I still do.

Being happy, mad, sad, etc should not be a basis for prejudice, racism, and/or hate. Doesn't solve anything.
Why would one have a need to 'admire' a group? I find a big difference from admiration and hate.
Yes, Animal did state reparations to be "roadkill" (I think that's what he said).
Sandman, Midnight Target, and I (to name some) also stated that it was a bad idea. Question for you? Why did you say "to animals credit" and not state anyone else? Just curious.

Sorry but where have I "attacked" a whole group based on race? I post here above the definition of racism. Please explain to me how I'm racist. Perhaps you didn't truely know the definition of racist. Please don't take this as an 'attack' against you as it is not. Everyone in this world is ignorant of many things including yours truely. I do know the definition of racism, prejudice, and hatred and made my comments accordingly.
BTW I would think a coward who didn't stand up for one's beliefs, especially if they felt something wrong was going on.

Now had I agreed with those I disagree with for fear of an arguement, then yes I would be a coward.
