Moderators and Members Opinion - Should the Word "Racist" Be Censored?

[superdude17*]

Due to the increasing number of members using the word "RACIST" as a daily and immature vocabulary word, I believe it should be censored like other swear words are on this forum. 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.

Anyone with a conscience that read your posts understand the racial undertones that you were suggesting. Why else would someone mention that 75% of Obamas supporters are allegedly black.

And so what if they were? It's racist and it's disgusting, and I hope you recognize that.

Review my posts and tell me what is PREJUDICE.

Thank you.

The last thing we need is more censorship.

If you don't like being called a racist, then prove them wrong.

The word racist should not be censored, otherwise we should ban every word someone has a problem with.

The word should be censored b/c it is being used outside of the definition of it. From now on, whenever I see the word: negative point.

dick and bush are words that should be censored also.






edit: purely for it's comedic value

It's free speech buddy. You want to censor words, do you want to censor opinions next? So you're for censorship and you don't mind making racist remarks? Not even some of the most far right members here would go that far.

So if someone calls you a racist - even though they may have a good reason for it - you'll neg rep them in retaliation?

Don't you think that's a little childish?
