Miss Moderator-
I agree wholeheartedly about respecting other people and not attacking other people. But what i don't agree with is that when prettygyrl states her opinion--which is usually, if not always against white people--we need to expect that people will get upset. If we can't write negative comments directly to her, or ANYONE else for that matter, she should not be allowed to write negative comments about white people. I take the things that are said very personally and probably many other people do too. Whenever prettygyrl says something, everyone tells her to "keep speaking her mind" and "keep telling it the way she sees it" since it is her opinion. We can't have this double standard. It is not right that every time we come to read this board, we have to read a page long description of all the "bad" things that white people have done in the past. But then when we reply about how offended we are or try to educate the obviously uneducated, we get told not to attack.
Everyone has a right to their opinion, but they also have the right to have that opinion disputed. But I cannot sit here and read the post that prettygyrl wrote about a neglectful black mother being the only right mother for a child simply because the adopted, *loving* family is white without getting extermely mad. That is disgusting and something needs to be said. This type of post should NOT BE ENCOURAGED.
Miss Moderator, I am only asking that everyone be treated on an equal field. People should be allowed to their opinion, but when that opinion gets out of hand, it should not be tolerated. And the curses in the posts are NOT appropriate.
Thank you for listening, I hope you understand my point.
