HC I'm hoping I haven't lowered myself to the level of some posting here...
HC I'm hoping that all the posters to take a step back and look at how stupid the majority of this crap is...

HC. . .
No Coop, I've never said that my experiences are more valid than others, nor do I know the posters' qualifications and whether or not they are able to speak on tolerance or diversity. But they can't tell me how to feel when I go in a store and a cashier will not look me in the eye, or place change directly in my hand because they're afraid that something may happen. No amount of diversity teaching can do anything about that.
I can only go on what I've seen; not only that thread, but others threads have appeared to be less than tolerable. I can also only speak to what it appears that others are feeling, which is my feeling as well - everything seems to point to race in a negative manner, which is a sensitive topic, and until Jesus returns, I don't think that's an issue that will ever be agreed upon (and I'm not presuming to speak on the behalf of others here, just for myself). My Soror talks about tolerance, but it turns toward race. Soror Moderator asks only BGLO members to post in the thread, and someone gets offended, then it turns to race. Green eggs and ham comes up and, you guessed it, race!
HC you and I can agree to sit back and say "Let's stop the madness".
