Is talking about interracial relations banned on this forum? I thought that asking questions is what this forum is all about. I live in US and the Constitution provides me the right to ask questions and express my opinion …so what’s the big deal with closing my thread about “Black people using white”? And by the way I’m not racist Manhathan!
No.
Yes.
Freedom of speech does not equal being allowed to say whatever you want, wherever you want, whenever you want.
Threads about moderating decisions belong in the Pit.
Yeah whatever.
Freedom of Speech is alive and well in this nation so you’re free to say whatever you have to say. However, you are not free to stand on my lawn and say what you wish. in this case you’re standing on the e-lawn of the Chicago Reader and the Moderators who live there.
Feel free to start your own server and say whatever you please on there.
Your question was racist and Manhattan was perfectly correct in shutting down that thread. Even Dopers have some standards.
And by the way, you are a racist. Racial prejudice and discrimination are part of the definition of racist. You pointed out that you hate seeing white women kissing black men of the really ‘bad’ kind. Simply asking why women seem to like ‘bad boys/rebels’ would be a real question. The black part merely adds racism to the mix.
Thanks Manhattan for being on the ball!
No. Asking for opinions of interracial relations is banned in this forum. Opinion questions belong in the forum called In My Humble Opinion. But given the grief you will justifiably get, my suggestion is to open your thread in the BBQ Pit, where it will doubtless end up.
You didn’t ask a question. You asked for opinions. Please read the forum descriptions more carefully.
Not on the private property of the Chicago Reader. You are our guest here. Do not forget this. Ever.
Because it was, as I said, both racist and in the wrong forum

Yes, you are. And a bad speller, to boot.
