ABW,

Thus far we’ve had a few trolls, but no repeat offenders that I can see. Most of the stupid is coming from one-time drive-bys.

I may have the power to squash, but I don’t have the patience. Rather than waste more time teaching Racism 101 to these people, I think at this point that I’d rather just shut the whole thread down. I prefer not to give racists another podium from which to vent their spleen. They’ve got so many other podiums, after all, so let them go to those.

Apologies to the folks here who actually wanted to have a reasoned discussion. Too hard to talk over all this gibbering noise.

I did read the article, and it does make some good points, at the same time however, reading the “strawman” portion, honestly made me raise my eyebrows and check my hypocrisy meter.

So, while we’re all being so evenhanded with the discussion, why dont we include any stereotypes, generalizations or racism perpetrated against whites? Id say the biggest disservice in America is the fact that whites are still held accountable for the actions of their ancestors, and blacks in general are allowed to feed off the fact that they feel “owed” something.

If we want to get into the evils of our ancestry how about all the (millions of)white slaves captured by the Moors in the 15th-17th centuries? Never hear a thing about that, wouldnt want the nation of Victems to lose the last leg they have to stand on.

Wow! I can’t believe that stupid people are making a fuss over racial sterotpes in a movie that featured giant robots. The guy was just letting out we he feels about issues that we face like outsourcing..,etc.

Geez woman don’t you have something better to do than call a sci-fi movie racist like fix your weave, pop locking and updating your ebt card…hmmm
