Racist and race card. More posters that claim to be White (you never know for sure) use these terms, than those claiming to be non-White.

Yes. There are posters that are White, that frequently accuse posters that are not White, of writing racist statements concerning Whites. This occurs more than non-Whites accusing White posters of the same.

When threads go sour and several White posters make blatant racist comments continually. The thread will just die off and others stop responding at all. This includes many White posters that stop responding as well.

White posters also accuse Black posters of pulling out the race card, when they don't want the discussion to go into race on subjects.

BTW it is usually the same posters that post the blatantly racist comments, that accuse the non-Whites of the same. It also the same ones that post the race card comments.

Whitey calling people racist more so than vice-versa on this forum is such a blatantly absurd notion that I don't even need to discuss it further with you.

Whitey telling other posters that they're throwing out the race card definitely happens. Sometimes because there are angry white dudes on here, and sometimes because....well....posters are pulling out the race card out of nowhere.

The truth is not absurd. Whitey? Are you serious right now?

SobroGuy use to use it all the time, since he finds the term "minority" offensive.

As for me, I prefer Blacks and Hispanics.

It's the opposite of the truth, and you're being absurd by making that claim.


And yes, whitey. I'm white, I can say that. It doesn't bother me and I'm just using words. Words like that don't bother me. I'm not looking to try and be all PC here. You can say it too...
