If blacks can be superior atheletically speaking (I can't imagine anyone disagreeing with that), then why can't other races be more intellectually superior?

[Petruchio]

My point was/is the double standards. As I said in my lte, If a white could not get away with it, that he should face the same treatment.

The key is that they have to be both scientifically, provably true statements, and you have to prove that they are relevant to what you are discussing. That's just the cold, hard standard for whether something or not is "racist."

What political correctness is against is "racially insensitivity," which is not the same as "racism." You should still generally try to be sensitive most of the time (as a matter of politeness), but when discussing real issues on FR, we should not worry too much about the appearance of racism, we should look at what really is there underneath.

Dusty can say what he wants. Free speech. Everyone is way to sensative. Let Dusty be Dusty.
