"Is there anyone else out there who is.."

..black?

It's always something I've wanted to ask, just never got round to it. Please don't say I'm the only one.

I take it you never re-read any of your topics regarding your silly quarrels with Belldandy.

I wouldn't really care if someone said "I hate whities". It wouldn't bother me at all. It's their view, they can have it as long as they don't take violent action against me.

Especially on a chat forum, as it's obviously just the poster's view and not endorsed by the site in any way.

Hey Tilt, check your e-mail...

I didn't use to get on with a group of Indian guys where I used to live, it doesn't mean I'm gonna suddenly decide that all Indians are like this so I won't get on with them as well.

If a man comes up to me in a red jumper and acts like a nob, does this mean that all people in red jumpers are gonna be the same?

Col's a small minded little retard, the day I apologise to him is the day hell freezes over.

Oh and another thing, COokie you say Special Reserve can't ban Col for saying things like "I hate blacks". But imagine if you were a black guy who came on the site for the first time, looking for some advice on buying products from Special Reserve and you happened to come across one of Col's message proclaiming his hating for anyone who is black. It hardly promotes Special Reserves site does it?

It's not so bad for people like Asher D because they already know what a nob Col is and what everyone thinks of him. But if you went on a site that said "I hate whities" would you want to stick around?

Maybe he comes from Colchester....if that's even a place that, you know, exists and everythin'.

Heh. I know that. The nickname Col rarely leads to the person being called something other than Colin. :-)

Yes I do :)

This could very well be the stupidest thread I have ever read here.

You don't know he's called Colin.

Ge could be called Colossus. But he probably isn't. :-D

To be honest, I think it's getting a bit silly and over the top now. It's all basic socialogy. It's known that some people don't get along with certain other racial types. Saying that you don't get on with them is fine, it's being honest, and if anything I think it is quite brave. Maybe Col knew that people would sl@g him off, and maybe he said it on purpose just to proove that some people are getting at him, and this prooves that some people are just making a mountain out of a mole hill. From were I am standing Col is no way being racist. To be racist would to take his feelings one step further. He has only said that he doesn't get on with Black people, as well as he does other people. Like I say, it's a common thing to find (How many Black couples do you find in Britain? A hell of a lot, because you find races tend to stick together. It's not all that common to have mixed race couples, although admittedly they are found.) So basically I think Tiltawhirl and Col should both apologise. Tiltawhirl for over reacting, maybe because you don't like Colin; and also Colin should maybe apologise for being a little tormentive. Now, I don't want to fall out with anyone here, and I hope no one thinks I'm trying to pick a fight, it's just I have read this for many days now and just feel it should stop (It's only fair on Asher), and I am trying to see it from both sides of the conversation.
