In America racism is only considered a white mans disease, just look at the double standard. Nick Cannon paints himself as white guy, hahahah, that is sooo funny. White guy puts on Obama mask at rodeo, Oh my god, look, racist white guy, he's making fun of our president who is black so he must be racist. White guy paints himself as black dude to be funny? Nope, can't do that. Thing is Nick Cannon was being funny, it's the hypocrisy that I can't stand. he knows damned good and well if a white person did the opposite they would be roasted in the media and by Al and Jesse.
I love how people now have to pay for what their ancestors may or may not have done and I love how those people that are making them pay very rarely actually lived through the racism and and hate. Actually what I have found is that the older ones are blown away as to why the younger generation just acts like victims when they have so many more opportunities then they did. Racism is around and it sucks but who or what entity has stopped you from getting ahead in life? What white person stopped you?

It's easier to cry racism than actually be held personally accountable for you life choices and actions.

It's lame and disengenuous, or course, but with the help of the MSM and the lefties, it's still alive.

Just look at the roaming black gangs knocking-out white peole at random, and even targeting Jews. Normally this would be clear 'hate-crime' style racism, especially if you read what they say as they perform these acts.

Reactions? A few arrests, but no hate-crime charges. Double-standard? What if the roles were reversed?

Not just in the US either....

Ya know, blue, after all this doo-dah with RA, I have a hard time envisioning sitting down and having a beer with the guy.

You, on the other hand...even though we've had plenty of sh#t-flings...I'm pretty sure we'd have a good time throwin' a few back.

Hankster seems have this place fairly figured out. I kind of see it like this.....

If you're a generally good and genuine and fun person, sites like Supertopo (avatar or no avatar) reveal/portray you to be good and genuine and fun. Ie: Mark Hudon, J Elezarian, Vitaliy etc...

If you're a generally normal person but have a tendency to be angry and resentful and
combative....the internet really magnifies those characteristics and you pretty much become un-likeable or un-liked by most of the "normal folk" as you engage with others just like you.

So a place like Supertopo really seems to incubate aggression and anger for some and stoke for others. Its really just not a good match for some people......and those are the people who basically seem to be addicted to the place.

Sadly, eventually the good folks get tired of all the lame actors, and they move on. Which is a bummer 'cause guys like Hudon and others used to make this place so enjoyable.

Just a few thoughts.......

Agreed.

Internet forums, Facebook, Youtube and news article comments sections are simply "projection screens." They reveal the true people we are behind the masks.

It would be nice if Crankster, Philo, Bruce Kay and others woke up and realized that they too need to apologize. If they died tomorrow

If they died today, at least they weren't boring.

Hey Couch did you miss this?

Chaz you were right I wrongly bundled you in with a group of less reputable posters.
I am sorry for that unfair slight.
If I go back and edit my post I will be accused of editing. Oh the horrors.
I hope it suffices that I admit I was wrong and regret the taint.

Chaz I may not always agree with you (actually many times I do) but you are in a whole different class than the bottom feeders I shouldn't have lumped you in with. I really am sorry.
