Thread Name: USA, Black Lives Lost in Police Actions
Subject: RE: Another Black Man Shot by Cop
This is a racist statement:

"Perhaps we can agree to keep this thread focused on Black lives lost and troll/react elsewhere....." Isn't focusing on one race racist?

This statement is also racist:

"SoreJaw is, and always has been, brain-damaged white trash. Ignore it."

I have been very careful not to disparage anyone personally and not to concentrate on race. Yet others seem to believe something can be accomplished buy making racist remarks and using ad hominem logical fallacy to discredit others and nullify the facts they present.

These racist remarks only justify, support and perpetuate racism.

Also efforts to silence any other point of view no matter how polite, logical or factual is a form of fascism where no opposing views areallowed.

Teacher who told youth "You are nothing but white trash" is found guilty of racial hatred

Racism has existed throughout human history. It may be defined as the hatred of one person by another -- or the belief that another person is less than human -- because of skin color, language, customs, place of birth or any factor that supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person.
