Wow, vicious. I've seen all the arguments here.
I have something to say about racism: it cannot be discussed. Look around in this thread. Everyone has a viewpoint and they each spew hate (yes hate: don't try to downplay it) at those who disagree with them. They will not allow any interpretation of data other than their own. The pure irrational anger and resentment that rules this 'debate' is incredible. Everyone reverts to Us vs. Them. And 'They' must be destroyed. Even if the destruction is only verbal.
Thanks. This definitely has reminded me of why there is in fact no hope for humanity of any race, sex or belief.
