JimRob can't be expected to police every thread. But the rank, appalling racism of some comments made during the discussion of the Adams Mark lawsuit really is quite beyond the pale. Your thoughts?
Makes me think you have other agendas beyond cleaning up the language of FR.
You never answered my question on the other thread: Are you a lawyer?
Except for the orange wrist bands, there was nothing out of the norm. I have had to carry my own bags in many hotels as good or better than an Adams Mark. I have paid higher rates than normal. And considering the age group and the tendancy to have large parties, the wrist bands were probably neccessary to keep things under control.
It is a racist event (BCR). It may not excuse racist comments, but don't go claiming that BCR is not to blame
"White Americans will eventually lose patience. The White Student Union at Temple University, the National Association for the Advancement of White People, the popularity in Louisiana of former Klansman David Duke - these are all disquieting signs that whites are tired of double standards. Only for so long will whites watch blacks use race as a weapon before they forge racial weapons of their own."
Have you kept up with what is happening in Zimbabawe or South Africa lately? Funny how the media isn't screaming about the racist policies of Mugabe. Oh, that's right, it isn't racism when the victims are white people, is it? How about the events that happened in Wichita Kansas, December 15, 2000? Gee, what happened to Mardi Gras in Seattle? Who exactly is responsible for that event being permanently cancelled? Listen to a rap song lately? The list goes on and on and on and on. But of course, if we talk about any of this, we are racists. Soon that word is going to lose all of its power. Where will the leftists be then?
Come down to Daytona for BCR. I dare you.

Everything smacks of racism to a person who has bought into the race-victimhood scam. Professional race-victims are unable to discern between geniuinely racist acts, and unpleasant events in which race is merely an incidental factor.
Professional race-victims have little credibility with thinking people because professional race-victims scream "racism" at every fleeting shadow. Would you like to see credibility restored to anti-racism initiatives? Learn and practice discretion.
To note: even Daytona gave MTV the boot a few years back. But they can't boot BCR. Why? NAACP, etc.
However, young black culture is a topic for discussion because it so overwhelmingly flies in the face of traditional (ie, one man, one woman marriage...children raised by both parents) values. Same as the young homosexual male lifestyle, and others no doubt.
The egocentric young black rap music typically comes off as angry, heavily sexual, anti-traditional, money-as-king commentary. It is promoted on mainstream music networks and radio stations and children (my children) listen to it. I don't see it as a positive and I turn off what is blatantly over the edge. Nothing racist in these comments, just factual.
Hah. I know what you are trying to say here. That's a code word.

Actually, Spring Break in Florida went bad in the 80's.
I think I was a sort of a moderating force. Once I stopped going, all hell broke loose.
