I expect it even now.
Anyway, my question is you are well aware of the abundance of racist jokes/comments going on around here, and you want it to stop, correct?
Well, lets see, this very thread may be making a point, but at the same time it is getting those who do like to "joke" or even be serious about it pissed off. Have you ever heard the phrase "out of sight, out of mind?" I do believe that this is one of those issues that if you just leave it alone, it'll disappear.
just my .02
*edit-lost my train of thought*
My next question. What exactly do you plan on doing about the racial remarks anyway? Are you going to try and have everyone who uses them banned? Do you plan on flaming everyone you see who uses a racial statement? Yes, you are making a start by never using the N word again. No one will really notice unless you point it out. A change for the good is no fun. Notice the news? How long does good news last? Just long enough to get it out. How long do you see news about something bad happened? It drags on forever it seems. So, you are just like the media, bringing attention to something, and making a bigger deal of it than it really is.
Try this JUST STOP POSTING IN/READING THE THREADS THAT OFFEND YOU.
Once again, just my .02 cents worth.
