Just curious there AB, I know blacks who feel the same way about their own kind, even come to the point of calling each other nig ( not going that far), so are they racists too? Why is it so wrong to judge the character of a man instead of his skin color? If I'm a business man, and I have many issues with blacks because as Billybob, everyone of em has problems with the work required, why can't I come to the conclusion that I have not come across a single decent one and thereby unless a particular one catches my eye or ear and people speak highly of this black guy, why should I higher one? Cause the law said so?
I hate to break it to the peeps, but your chances of being killed or wounded in a terrorist incident are so close to zero that they might as well be zero. Worry far more about slipping in the tub.
Liberals are the most racist people I have ever met. I know one who was extolling the "virtues" of Obama and his social[ist] programs; later in the same setting he referred to all black people as "coons." Another one I know is very proud of the fact she voted for Obama, and when I stated I wouldn't vote for him [back in '08] she straight up asked me if it was because he's black. This very same woman will answer the phone at work, and when she's done comment that the person was very rude, and finish it off with, "She was black," or something similar, if the person happens to be rude and black. She makes it sound as though the two are correlated with causation. But she demands she's not racist if I call her on it.

There's a world of difference when blacks refer to each other as the 'n' word than when a white person uses the term. In context the latter is always a term of derision whereas with the former it's become common slang. When you think about it it's kinda mocking the racist slur in that usage.
There's nothing wrong with judging the content of character as oppose to skin colour. Not sure why you're asking me that to be honest...
If you've not met a 'single decent black guy' then I'd say you've been unfortunate. I've met plenty in my life. Met a few dodgy ones as well but the same goes for whites also.
Where it comes to hiring then if you're a businessman then it makes sense to employ the person who is most suited to the job.
Well this is fun isn't it?

That's ridiculous.

So as long as whitey uses that term as 'slang' it's OK.
Got it.

Go with the percentages. Did you know that blacks in the US commit 7 times as many violent crimes as whites per capita? That's too significant to ignore.

I remember being a teenager, I stuck up for this kid in my school against what I thought was just some bullies attacking him. Turned out they were KKK "pledges" . So I got several death threats, stolen property and other nefarious things done to me. I in turn made them cry. Regardless, those were real racists.
I think BillyBob is just a man with an opinion and that my friends doesn't amount to much.

If you can't see the difference in context between whites and blacks using the term then that ain't my problem.

Oh there's a difference between ignorant blowhards & those of the extreme variety for sure. That can't have been pleasant....

Don't get me wrong. I don't agree with his opinion. Generalizing isn't something I'd ever do, I find it shoddy. I still would defend his choice to have that opinion though, even if it does see him fall into disrepute. It's of his own doing.

Oh same here, I defend the rights of folk like BB to sound off as advertising ignorance and prejudice serves to reflect on him. A coupla years ago the leader of the nutball British National Party appeared on the political panel show 'Question Time'. There were plenty who thought he shouldn't be allowed on but I thought he should be allowed to show his stupidity in public....and he did.

This kind of narrow judgmentalism just means you're ignorant, not onto something.
Theocrats are Social Darwinists.
Christianity has nothing applicable, appropriate, or worthwhile to offer the 21st century.
Doesn't that make your little heart just go "Ka-THUMP" Billy Bob?
I just wandered in to let y'all know that I don't identify with this worthless (Libertarian) excuse for a human being.
I'm sure if Arthur, Quincy and the rest of the Libertarian crowd got to know Billy Bob better, they'd come to a mutual agreement on much of his (anti-Christian) philosophy.
