I'm not going to play a guessing game, nor am I going to dig through 12 pages. You can tell me the post numbers if you want me to read them.
Now, are you willing to denounce the racial hatred, lies, and bigotry expressed by Topolis?
Absoutely, I'll get you the post #'s if you will show me where the OP has been bigoted and displayed racial hatred.
I read the OP and responded to it. All of my answers have been in response to that.
Look at post #'s 51 & 56 - I guess it's ok to say to say that you are racist in your views. No one responds to it at all. Is it that it's ok to feel that way? 1 person out of 13 pages besides the OP addressed it, but 90% of the posts on this thread addressed the OP as being racist.
So again I ask, why is it? do people choose to condone the behavior because it's coming from the other side of the spectrum? Its very interesting how it was just totally glazed over.

As a white person, I have never associated "black" with being undesirable or negative. Frankly this race business is way overrated as we are all more alike than different. We are all part of the same race (human) and skin color is not a determinant of a person's worth. I strongly feel that we as a society need to quit focusing so much on race and focus more on strengthening character and discipline in our youth.
money and success do not make you white. people like winners. money & success might make you good company if you are not too bummed out about what you had to do get that money & success.

Yeah, I read that. And it doesn't make any sense. I hadn't even seen it until you pointed it out just now.
Even so, it makes no sense at all - especially in the larger context of the post.
I thought you said you looked at them already...
Anyway, It still speaks to the point I was trying to make...If we are going to speak out on it it should be addressed with everyone...and thats not what I have seen in this thread.
When I hear someone say something out of the way in my presence, I speak out on it. I realize it happens on all sides and I feel is necessary to help keep the progress ball rolling.
