For a short while there the race baiting threads had fizzled out and I assumed that whoever was getting told to try to stir things up had moved on. Whether for lack of success or lack of being paid, whatever. Now they're back. If you don't like seeing race baiting threads, don't respond to them. Nobody is white or black or male or female or liberal or conservative as far as anyone knows on these boards and anybody can easily pretend to be somebody else.
A ban on race threads. By race threads I do not mean threads like "is x politician trying to court the orange vote?" or stuff that actually has to do with politics. I'm talking about threads such as "Why do orange people have high wedlock rates?" and such "innocently" phrased questions that turn into nothing more than borderline and often overtly racist dogma.
Here's a separate question... can anyone make the argument that race threads should be allowed to continue in the way that they have?
Ban the social concept of race by skin color and features. We are all one "race". Problem solved.
It would mean rejecting the grouping of humans by skin color. It would also mean rejecting promotion of self-interest by skin color. Can you do that?
One can effect social change by beginning with oneself.

You could probably do away with threads like that when the MSM quits throwing the race cards around
race troll threads get replies and views, which is what the troll thrives on. why would I post a thread on tax policy and get limited views and replies when I can post a thread about why blacks do this, or do that, which will get 150 replies and 1,000 views. the troll thrives on attention.
in my opinion its the gullibility of the people who fall for the troll that let the racist posts thrive on this site. if everyone just ignored the troll and didnt feed it, then the forum would have much better conversation. but when you have people who keep the troll going, you will continue to see numerous race baited posts on this forum.
this forum is a trolls paradise.
Concur. I also see this same thing with threads on the South. The trolls love some South bashing. Personally I gravitate towards threads about tax policy, foreign policy, military, economics, etc. However, those threads don't get quite the same response as "Why does x race always do y thing?" or "Why is the South still so backwards, redneck, and ignorant?" Of course, there are other topics that get this same treatment as well.
