So I thought it’d be useful to have a single omnibus thread to collect all the stupid things Black people have said. It was inspired by the “Stupid Republican idea of the day” thread and this exchange including long time member tomndebb. > [@"Some blacks are just dumb and enjoy killing each other" - no warning issued, Tom?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/some-blacks-are-just-dumb-and-enjoy-killing-each-other-no-warning-issued-tom/819511/93): > > But one question: why political affiliation? Why should political affiliation be afforded the same protection as people with disabilities, women, or people of color? If you decide to respond, I \*promise \*not to debate, nitpick, demean, use coded language, or respond negatively to your answer: just interested in your reasoning (if you choose to share). > [@"Some blacks are just dumb and enjoy killing each other" - no warning issued, Tom?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/some-blacks-are-just-dumb-and-enjoy-killing-each-other-no-warning-issued-tom/819511/113): > > Political affiliation is pretty dependent on the local culture in which one is raised. In a period such as the current one, labels are used to silence and humiliate people. I do not see a purpose in allowing a person to be silenced or humiliated simply because their world view, shaped by their life experience, differs from that of others. So, since that perfectly describes how one might be more or less racist, it seems pretty normal for us to discuss the ignorance of the Negro race as well. Just getting the ball rolling. I’ll post my examples forthwith. ---

> [@Ed Zotti](#): > > **No hate speech** > > If you say hateful and/or racist things, you may get warned or banned. Some slurs are likely to be viewed as hate speech when used as insults, some aren’t. No, we aren’t going to give you a list. Our goal is not to restrict any and all speech which could be viewed by someone as offensive, but simply keep a modicum of decency, even here. I assume you were trolling for the warning or the ban, I thought I would just facilitate that. ---
