A ban on race threads. By race threads I do not mean threads like "is x politician trying to court the orange vote?" or stuff that actually has to do with politics. I'm talking about threads such as "Why do orange people have high wedlock rates?" and such "innocently" phrased questions that turn into nothing more than borderline and often overtly racist dogma.


Here's a separate question... can anyone make the argument that race threads should be allowed to continue in the way that they have?

People should be able to speak their mind. If you don't want to see 'em, don't go into 'em.

What's to stop them from an all out ban on race threads? 99.9% of them get locked anyway.


And PLEASE tell me how replies like this from the last race thread are productive to anybody:

You are obviously a politically correct zombie. The facts are blacks DO think as a collective. This is why major cities such as Detroit have not elected a nonblack mayor since the 1970s. Just being black is enough to get elected because of this group collective idea which is of course enforced by the Middle Eastern types who run our media and Hollywood. FACT.

As for people being screwed over. America never screwed anyone over. About 70% of all whites in America are descended of ancestors who arrived AFTER slavery was over. In other words they had nothing to do with it. I will tell you who did. The Elites. Yes the same ELITES who run conscience. In the 1840s these Elites were abolitionists. During the 1890s the Ivy League and all of the worldwide corporations. They constantly change their focus as business opportunities change. In the 1840s because the Elites know they are evil so they have to balm their they became Progressives and Eugenicists. Around WW2 they became Globalists and egalitarians.

In the end if you want to look at the sheer number murdered and oppressed whites have been the victims far more often. However the elites need to push onto the whites guilt over racism which they didnt do but the ELITES did so as to pass the buck and make more money.


^I couldn't make this crap up.

I'm for banning race threads. They all end up the same -- blue person claims orange people are lazy, stupid, failing for "x" reason, orange posters respond with "x, y and z," and it turns into a flamefest. I don't see how they're productive.

If you don't like threads about race you shouldn't read them.

While we're at it we should ban all threads that aren't positive about Obama because they just end up as flame fests.

Now that's the race card, right there.

Well there would be at least one positive result if that happened, the stormfront trash would
likely get bored and leave!

What difference does it make? The moderators will just close them anyway.
