yea thats why i stayed out of it for the first 6 pages or so. you really have to choose your words wisely, and for good reason. were all accustomed to and ascribe diffrent meanings to different variables and concepts. sometimes its to hard to relay the subtleties and emotion needed in a subject like that over the internet.

There were no accusations of racisms thrown around by me. Lack of intelligence & objectivity, Yes.

the biggest problem i had was not even knowing who or what she was talking about when she was saying that generalizations were being thrown about

 

[nycgirl]

Read my posts. Its pretty clear what I'm talking about.

BB & Samoth got it.

I think you should start from page 1.

Its 12 am and I'm too tired to go into depth about the black race and how diverse it is and how it can't be generalized, the slave trade, geography & biology.

well im not discounting anything that may have offended her, im just speaking in general.

I wasn't offended by anything. But how can you a discussion about a topic and people are referring to Africa as a country??

The whole thread was nothing but generalizations. I'm not the only person that saw this.

well it was a starting point.

lol.

 

[nycgirl]

LOL, yes it was. But it was the first generalization. I had to break down Africa into sections (Sahara vs. Sub-sahara, East vs. West, etc.).

You want an intelligent/controversial discussion, fine. Then, of course, someone feels the need to use "stereotypical" names. If anything set me off, it was that.

I chose to not partake in that thread simply because some people in this world are too close-minded, ignorant, uneducated and uncultured...plus as I predicted, the thread went to shit.

It was actually going pretty well (At least the first 2 pages; I have 50 posts per page).

I really should start avoiding them (I tell myself this everyday).

Now that this thread has been brought up, I am going to have to check it out. I guess that is what happens when I go away for a couple of days.
