It is getting ridiculous, almost to the point where stating anything bad about minorities is "RACIST." Come on people, minorities have their fair share of problems, just like the majority does. Stating them along with trends is not racist. Sharing opinions of what you see in a gentle manner is not racist.

I call for the moderators to censure the word, and call on members to use words such as discrimination, prejudice, segregation instead....where I come from racist is equivalent to a swear word. You don't go around calling people that just for the heck of it.

Thank you moderators.

I've gotten pretty apathetic in the past few months, but this is just ridiculous. People can suck. Talking to them about it shouldn't be such a big deal. Obviously in certain circumstances calls of racism are personal attacks, but deal with each situation as it comes along. Wholesale bans on words is troubling, and that power should only used sparingly.

I take offense at the word 'evil' I demand it be banned, and I also think we should ban the word banned, too - doncha think?

No your not. It's obvious from your avatar that you are half-white.

I've been called a murderer and baby killer before. It doesn't bother me at all.

Just ignore it.

You are a murderer, you murdering baby-killer!

'R' can stand for many things, such as 'r'ascal, 'r'ight, 'r'eally or 'r'aunchy.

can you please be more specific? what are you getting at?
