There are many levels of racism. People can be racist or say racist things or do racist actions without intending to be racist. Ignborance as an excuse only gets you so far in life. And if you're a business, especially an international business, and your company is riddled with ignorance, then you have more than one problem and deserve to be sued.

If people cared half as much about IMPACT as they did about intent, then we would be making headway. I don’t buy the intent arguement, Mike S.

Intent is important, but it's hardly EVERYTHING. To me, intent is EVERYTHING.

To me, intent is EVERYTHING. Look at what happened to me....If someone wanted to push it, I could have been accused of being racist, even though Microsoft Spell Check did it.... ABW,

Not by a longshot. I replied over there. You'll have to search the site or go to the bottom of the main page and click "older entries" or "Next page" to find it.

Besides, this is YOUR space and you are promoting HEALTHY discussion. Bravo. Speech is free, but has consequences..I fully expect to be pummeled if I disrespect someones wife or mother. You will love this, I was posting on another board and it was a healthy discussion, except for one idiot that was posting disgusting racist pictures and comments. I asked him if he would say this to black peoples faces and he said yes. The moron was stupid enough to use a screen name that he uses on everything else, including Christian dating sites, complete with his pic. I posted his name, address, employer and pics. Others contacted his employer im sure. I have a question, what happened to the blog about the couch that had the N word on the tag? I proved it wasnt racism.....Dont you think that it is important to point out that things are not always as they seem and racism is sometimes perceived, not real? ABW,

It'll be great to see what conversations are sparked by it. Thanks for the comment it helped calm my nerves (at least a little). I’m looking forward to the panel as well!
