Racial Issues on MyLot....STOP!

I agree 100% with you some people just dont care to be uncuth I hate people who are raciest

i agree with you, i dont care about the color of a persons skin and i dont want to answer questions that are racially motivated either (culturally motivated is a completely different thing) i love learning interesting things about different cultures and customs of them just as long as it stays focused on that and does not because a race issue, we are one race on this planet, the human race

at first i replied to some of those, but got tired of them. they just seem to think it would earn a lot of responses that they keep on making such discussions. i just ignore them now.

i agree and half of them are ignorant

I think most the time they're hoping it riles people up and gets them to answer. Hey 200 pi$$ed off people are worth more $ here on mylot than 20 happy ones! I personally don't bother, even if a question riles me up I know it's put out there just to do that. I prefer real convos.

Okay, initially I read this and thought that it is just people wanting more of the PC behavior here in a forum. I am actually very stimulated by illuminating others on racial issues. It is my life's work. I choose to do it in my own life though. I touch people one at a time. So that is where I am coming from. So then I read your posts, and replies from posts and well I see your point. I just joined and hmmm let's see, what am I going to talk about? What interests my life, what stimulates me. I like to have intelligent conversations about race relations. I don't come from a place of hate, and so I guess I was just naive about the fact that it may bring out those types of people. My personal favorite thing to do is bring to the surface gut reaction thoughts of people and explore where they come from. I think if people have no idea certain beliefs exist in them, they are uncomfortable and feel stressed to be PC. Afraid a past belief will come bursting out of them at an inappropriate time. Such as the guy or girl who says something that could be perceived as prejudice and then adds, I have nothing against (black/white people) I have many (black/white) friends. That drives me crazy! Bonkers. If they could uncover a few basic core beliefs (beliefs they held in the past or were passed down from another generation) they could think through how silly that view is/was and could form a new basic core belief. Do you get my drift. But thanks for your thoughts. It was thought provoking. :)

I agree that people shouldn't ask them, not if they are mean spirited at least. I don't recall seeing any racial issued questions here in MyLot myself however. I think the best thing to do, if you do run across them is just to not respond. Afterall, you don't want to help a person posting such hate by responding and helping their ratings!

I agree with you...I haven't come across to many racial issued questions though..

yeah.i agree with u dude

I haven't really seen too many racial posts in here. There are quite a few asking about the perspective of those in different countries, but isn't seeking to understand each other, and why we each think the way we do, a good combat against racism?

Yes it should be stop.

I agree with you 100%. We should not discuss here religion or racial issues. It should be stopped.

I haven't seen any...I do see a ton of political issues...mostly anti-bush questions...and a few asking weird things about those from India, but nothing that could be deemed as racial...

I agree 100% also!

I agree with you 100%
