Y'know, I think the racism thread on the Offtopic Board has gone beyond what should be tolerated. I'm not talking about Political Correctness, here, I'm talking about blatant, crude racism.

It started with SDAI-Tech's comments that Africans should be grateful they were enslaved because they lived longer, proceeded to his saying that the pre-1940 "scientific" evidence was that the Africans were inferior beings, went on to a post by someone named "Lee", and then a pseudo-post by "Condi Rice".

There may be some excuse for SDAI-Tech, I'm working on that.

I don't think there is for the others, and it's embarrassing to be posting in the same Habitablezone as do they. I wish those posts would just go away. Posters, too, for that matter. I'm not requesting anything, and I do want to be on record as not offering any tacit approval of those folks by saying nothing.

One dog's opinion.
