Default Racism on HMT

Not that Jeff isn't going to do as he pleases, when he feels like it. I just wanted to see what you think.

I have no idea why its "fun" or "cool" to be racist on this site...but that is the direction it has taken over time. I doubt we have recruited actually racists, most of the ********* on this site wouldn't speak that way to any normal human in public but because they are behind the shield of the interweb, they let loose when they see others spouting off comments that really have no other motive than trying to fit in with the crowd.

The users should be able to police themselves honestly...obviously some cant fit with the program and those characters should be dealt with accordingly.

i think it's okay in moderation. Kind of like swearing. Saying ---- when you do something stupid is fine, but who wants to be the kid that used ---- 8 times in a sentence. Like i say ------ here and there as like an oh ---- word, but i like black people, got nothin against them. And i'm willing to be others feel the same way.

It was funny when josh did it because he always overstepped boundaries on purpose. Ever since the west coast/stevemode throw down its been lame, generic, off the shelf racism from high school kids.

I think slang terms are ok.. like Nukka.. and nig nog..lol However I hate racial debates on here. If people still want to be racial after all of these years, then they arent willing to accept what our country is, and stands for. I'd think most of the racial debaters on here aren't really racist. But moreso just like to argue.

My question is, where is the line drawn between racism and arguing on here? Sometimes people call another "a dumb ------" even if they're not black. So would this be considered racist? What about calling another nignog?
