It's called reading.

Unless you're trying to "make a point here" -but that would be just stupid, right?


...right?

I think we have already established it wasn't racism-based, it was just an attempt at reaching out to the minority community.

Its racism if they segregate based on race. So if they didn't allow caucasians then it would indeed be racist. However I can't find anything specifically stating that caucasians can't register and I don't know how they would check anyway since they allow payment forms over the internet so they'd never see you to be able to verify it. So its just a poor dialup ISP with unimpressive rates that gives of the appearance of racism.

Actually, it was much more than 200 years. It was about 365 years.

Black people always talk about how being segregated is wrong and all, meanwhile, they make the channels BET, BSTARZ, ETC. and they have seperated themselves. Hm, now isn't that funny?

There are many ways of responding to this. But i am just going to tell you that White folks always talked about how being racist was wrong yet, they tried to hide it and enslaved blacks for 200 years.O' yea, i mean 365 years. Hm, isnt that ironic?

There is a difference between was and is. There are not so many racist whites today. But many blacks are.

Hm, isnt that ironic?

No, what is ironic is when they whine to people about something their ancestors did over a century ago while they are like that today. Not making us slaves or killing us (in most cases, at least, they don't), but still being racist. I have met many more racist blacks than whites.

Everyone just needs to get over it. All humans are just that, humans.
I have read it and can seriously not find it. I'M NOT MAKING ANY POINTS. I SERIOUSLY cannot find anything even vaguely to do with racism or to promote one's race.

Racism isn't just about promoting your own race.

They are making out as if the service is just for Black people, or ethinic minorities, and if you are White and sign up, they will reject you.

However, we don't know whether this is true or not, and, as you can read above...some other stuff too...etc.
(meh)
I know racism isn't just about promoting your own race, hence i said "I SERIOUSLY cannot find anything even vaguely to do with racism or to promote one's race."

And can you just give me the quote from the website, surely it isn't that hard...
It's not racist.

They make no attempt to verify the ethnic identity of their customers, nor would they have to as they do not claim that their service is only for (in their words) people of color... it's just aimed at them.

Cosmopolitan and other women's magazines aren't inherently sexist, and neither are men's magazines like FHM (I think that's what it's called.) Individual articles viewpoints within them might be sexist... but the mere existence of a magazine marketed towards one sex isn't sexist. You can't make a product everybody likes, and so there's nothing wrong with targeting your product towards a large group of people that have need of it.

If a car maker designs a vehicle to appeal to rugged sportsmen, they're not discriminating against bookish intellectuals. A coffeeshop's existence isn't a slap in the face of people who don't like caffeine. So why do you say that an ISP aimed at members and appreciators of black cultures is racist?

The irony of defending the majoritie's rights, be you male, white, or whatever, you will always be percieved as evil. No matter how logical your argument is, too many people are too stupid to see the forest through the trees.

So why don't you do the ol' Bush Administration solution:

CUT DOWN ALL THE TREES!

(and then burn them)


To hell with Kyoto, rest of the world!

It was only 40 years ago dont tell me there are more black racists then white ones.And a Black racist wouldnt hate you for your color they would hate white people because of thier history unlike a white racist who would hate you simply because your black. Anyways,How would you know?,Your just telling me something from your point of view your probably not even black so you would have an even lower possibility of running into some white racist. i am sure i've been called a nigger by some angry white kid many more times then you have been called whatever black people call you.

And i have met many more racist whites then blacks. Wouldnt you think i have a less possiblity of encountering a black racists/ you meeting a white one.Thats only where you have been you havent been all over the country.

"while they are like that today". I'am sorry i dont remember my race enslaving whites for over almost 4 centuries. whats funny is you have a problem with with blacks having a history of 'Whining' as if we took your life and your childrens life and owned them. I'd love to see how your people would act if they were enslaved for 400 years. >

Everyone just needs to get over it. All humans are just that, humans.

If i threw a stone at you, i wonder if you would 'whine'.

Wrong, I have had black people hate me just because I am white.

It is a fact that the majority of people are no longer racist (and you would be hardpressed even to prove that most people were even in the 19th century, as it was not an age where everyone was racist as many would have you believe).

And i have met many more racist whites then blacks. Wouldnt you think i have a less possiblity of encountering a black racists/ you meeting a white one.Thats only where you have been you havent been all over the country.

No, not all over the country; but I have been to a good portion of it. As I have pointed out in past posts, I have been to many places and met thousands of people. I have been out of my country and around around nearly half of mine. And it's not only my observation anyway, it's the observation of many of us who want and end to it on all sides.

"while they are like that today". I'am sorry i dont remember my race enslaving whites for over almost 4 centuries.

That does not give them the right to be racist today.

whats funny is you have a problem with with blacks having a history of 'Whining' as if we took your life and your childrens life and owned them. I'd love to see how your people would act if they were enslaved for 400 years.

"My people" would probably be upset about those 400 years, but I would hope they don't hate the descendents of the people who did it in that time.

If i threw a stone at you, i wonder if you would 'whine'.

No, I wouldn't whine, rather I would punch you. Blacks had every right to do that back in the day. However, I would hope my children do not hate your children for your rock throwing.
