Not quite, but it many, many cases, it works just as well. Possibly yours. > [@Request permission to make thread in BBQ pit](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/request-permission-to-make-thread-in-bbq-pit/817464/1): > > Hi, > > It seems a lot of folks here don’t believe that racism and prejudice exists against people of people of color. Everyday, minorities are being treated like animals[(last week, a 89 grandmother was denied entry to a gas station and forced to relieve herself outside as if she were a dog](https://www.bet.com/news/national/2018/07/03/89-year-old-grandmother-denied-access-to-gas-station-bathroom-an.html)). Instead of talking about these injustices, we’re spending page after page talking about why some evil chick got chased out of a restaurant. White folks must believe that political affiliation is a protected class. > > **Here’s my question** : Can I make a thread entitled “White folks are crazy” or “White folks hate us all” or “Here white folks go again with their oppression” something catchy like that. I’m still thinking on the title. The purpose of the thread is to highlight the daily injustices African-Americans and Hispanics experience at the hands of white folks. It. Happens. Everyday. If you prefer I don’t, that’s fine. Out of respect, I just wanted to ask before hand. Thank you. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/living-while-black-in-america/817611)._
