I always knew JimRob could do that...

I posted the above article by Colin Flaherty a couple of hours ago and it was pulled by the Moderator as being "too much." The article at WND begins with a video of a young black man named Mike Hagler who is basically asking (based on his observations) why blacks have to always be so violent at public events.
I posted one comment: ["Yes, I guess I'm a racist. You see I believe the human race is far superior to any other.
If I'm not mistaken, "race" originated with the secular humanists pushing evolution, eugenics and other such nonsense.
"Race" is a racist term used by racists. Can't we all just get along? How about if we use "people groups" instead?"]
I thought the article was pertinent, as we all know that there's a festering racial problem that is dividing us in America and that is being constantly stoked by BHO, his attorney general, minions, fellow community organizers, the MSM, and progressives in general, etc.
Apparently the subject will NOT be discussed here.
Yes, this is obviously a sensitive and very "politically incorrect" subject, but it is my understanding that we Freepers were not politically correct and had vowed to never bow to political correctness. Hey, if we can't discuss it here, then where can we discuss it?
The last time I checked the discussion several hours ago, I noticed that some of the comments were getting a little "harsh." If they were going over the top, then I believe the moderator should have deleted the comments as he deemed them inappropriate, or even locked the thread.
I just don't understand the need to delete this article from the vast archives of the news database that is Free Republic.
Anyway, I'm standing by to be taken to the wood shed for a spanking if I must.
We are a nation of cowards and we refuse to have the conversation about race which we so desperately need to have.
What “above article”? Why not link it?
Whatever, still a bit CS as far as I am concerned, but no one has called me PC that I know of. A spade is a spade and all that, tired of cringing media types that refuse to do their job.
Didn’t want to push my luck.
For example, I think a culture that regularly refers to women as being bitches and whores ("ho's") is very inferior to my own culture. I believe a culture that extols "gangsta" behavior is also inferior.
There are other cultures that I greatly admire and think may be superior to my own culture.
And there is not a 100% correlation between race and culture, either.
So, I guess I'm prejudiced! :O
Sometimes a thread that gets a lot of flaming gets yanked rather than the flames being put out one by one. I guess it’s less headache for the moderators. It seems half of FR is comprised of master painters with a broad brush, which in touchy areas like this can hurt feelings all around.
Cool. I’ll push mine then.
Can’t say “mulatto”, can’t say “Osambo”, can’t say that Jews want to “repair the world”, but can say that Apple computer users are “gay”. Hurray!
I thought that was what “locking” a thread was for.
Long before I encountered a fat Oriental female teenager who behaved and spoke like a black ghetto denizen, long before that, I knew that it was culture, not race.
It could be put a bit both more precisely and more diplomatically, like why is so much misbehavior engendered by American black culture. It gets to be a battle of the broad brushes very quickly. We all know many black people in America that we’d never be ashamed to be found in the company of. It’s a pity that per capita to their race they are far fewer than those of other colors, and yes it is self-racism that is to blame.
That’s mostly when they want to redirect discussion to an older thread of which the locked one is a duplicate. If there’s mostly a bunch of flames, then it all gets rolled up and tossed out.
Good to hear feedback from everyone, but alas I must hit the sack. It’s been a very strenuous several days for Mrs. P and me keeping the grandchildren.
No! You cannot do that, a certain FR member will come prancing in here with his logo attached, and tell the world that this is hate speech and he is a protected class on FR and will sic the mods on you.
BTDT
What bemuses me is, perhaps, how much white Hellywood (pun) profits from this misbehavior. Dysfunction sells media. All the rap, no limit n-word crap that guys like Trayvon came out of, it’s making white moguls rich, not just black artists who get all the visible glory.
