Anyone agree that the word racist should be banned from this forum?

I'm so tired of seeing the word used out of context. I mean I know that would leave you pro's with only 2 denfenses, but come on I'm tired of it like white kids with du rags on.

No Abdul. I see you are from another part of the yahoo answers world. Here, if you have a different opinion you are called racist. If you are against illegal immigration you are racist.

I agree on both accounts.
I guess the pro's just choose to ignore the illegals marching in our streets holding their signs that are derogatory to us I guess their not racist their just concerned migrants looking for a better life.PLZ.

It will be banned when RACISTS stop responding using terms like "n*gga... sp#c... f---king wetb*ck... low life parasitic tamale... monkey... desert monkey... cracker... hoe... etc." Too many folks here enjoy insulting, degrading and maliciously name-calling each other names. Ignorance and cruelty run rampant on Y Answers!

Then you would be advocating censorship and limits on freedom of expression. A BIG NO NO!!

You do not like it when people call you that when you disagree with them, but you are basically suggesting doing the same thing: taking away their ability to disagree. Banning the word is not going to stop people from disagreeing with you. They will still think you are a racist, and will just find more creative ways of calling you that.

In any case, I will personally stop using the word when people stop giving me a reason to. I am not suggesting you are a racist, but some people on this forum certainly are. I think I reserve the right to point it out when it is appropriate. Racism is wrong. The fact you want the word eliminated lends some credence to their argument: why can't you refute their claims without eliminating the claim?

Consider it a challenge. Think about your point of view. Is it NOT racist? Why or why not? If it isn't, then you don't need the word banned. You've got a good argument instead. If it is... then maybe you need to reconsider your point of view.

no i mean that is how people want to be then let them be thatb way : freedom of speech and expression

I agree it SHOULD NOT be used to describe everyone who is against the illegals as RACIST, because we are not against one race, and we are made up of many different races. We are only against illegals of any race!

I agree it SHOULD be used to describe Jose Angel Gutierrez & La Raza, who are against ALL Races excluding the "Chicanos". These Militants AKA Terrorist, are truly RACIST!
And, Im' tired of seeing the White kids with du rags on too, but thats another subject, one rant at a time please. LOL

White kids with du rags on?

I don't know. I think when people start going on and on about how rotten whites are, it sounds pretty racist.

And Serviocal, Canada isn't even CLOSE to being the second contributing country of illegal immigrants. India is next after Mexico. It has to do with economics, not race. Economics is why Canadians don't 'need' to cross illegally, as well.

The word is way overused - but those types of remarks can't be eliminated. For example, and earlier question said that all whites need to die, and that it would be celebrated. That didn't use the "R" word, but it was certainly implied. So, just banning one word isn't going to change the message.

Of course, that little "report" button comes in handy for situations like that. No group should be put down.

Only when it's really used out of context (98.9% of the time). Unfortunatedly, that'll probably never happen.

I recommend we all start posting (in all caps) HUGO_ALERT!! whenever one of these desperately silly propagandists unloads the term like a toy machine gun.

It's starting to sound like a pull-string Barbie:

Kid: Hi what's your name?

No, I don't think censorship is needed on this forum.


patriot07
no, because of free speech, even though i understand your point of view.


crazyredhead1956
No-probably shouldn't be banned -but, I know what you mean. I am against illegal immigration too. My ex husband lost a job to illegal immigrants and friends that had to compete with them and lost. Honestly, I feel that all American Citizens come first before anyone else. And that has nothing to do with race. There are American Citizens that are homeless, starving to death and in need of medical attention. Shouldn't they come first.

I think it should be. I'm so tired of someone asking a legit question, and then people calling them racist, when there was no racism in their question.


Abdul Hassan
Well, it should be allowed as a reply for something genuinely racist. I fail to see how it can be 'used out of context' - surely you can't really call someone racist unless thay've actually said something racially discriminatory?

I hear ya...that is just about their only line of defense...which is hard to come by when you are WRONG!!!

I say racist when a person is continually bashing on one specific race and thinks they are superior than them for being of another one. What is up with the comparison to the white kids with du rags? And even one defense is enough: morality. I don't need a law to tell me right from wrong. So no, I don't agree, if you or anybody else is being called that it may be for a reason.

No, but racist should be banned.

Why don't you just come out and admit that you are a race baiter.


Who Knew?
PC speech has incapacitated Americans' ability to have a meaningful discussion about anything. It should DEFINITELY be banned from this forum.

Remember when the mayor of New Orleans declared it was a "chocolate" city and would stay that way (a "racist" statement if ever there was one)? What would happen if the mayor of Salt Lake City declared it a "vanilla" city that would stay that way? There'd be an uproar.

Terms like "racist" are only tossed around when someone has the audacity to question our PC culture and they're only enforced against people who don't swallow the liberal agenda hook, line, and sinker. True debate about meaningful issues is no longer possible -- except in a relatively anonymous forum like this.

No. The word "racist" is the easiest way to spot someone who lacks any diffinitive arguments.


Siervocal
The problem is that you don't want to admit that, even if you're not the case, there IS racism involved in many people with an anti illegal feeling. When you stop focusing on just the Southern Border and start thinking about Canada (the second country with the largest export of illegal immigrants) and the sea ports, THEN we will stop complaining about racism. But until then, cuddle up in your bed hugging a pillow and meditate on what you and you're sympathizers have done wrong.

I've notice many abuse the word so much that when people say it any more it does not have as much meaning as it once did. These folks calling people Racist are in fact going against their own beliefs if we are to believe they attend church we would think they would not sit back and judge everybody because one will not embrace their beliefs or their vision of a one world order and you are a racist if their dreams come do not come true.BOO WHO the world is a rotten horrible nasty place because the pro legal want gives us everything we cry for
