I probably should not be commenting in this thread but...

I think we should all resist the urge to generalize based off twitter. It seems that only the dumbest of the dumb (from all races) post insulting or politically charge shyt via twitter, through Youtube comments, etc. Seriously, who you know with half a brain makes comments on Youtube?

Anyway, from experience in REAL LIFE...most people are generally better than twitter/youtubes comments would suggest.

Yes, people are usually on their best behavior when they're not in the comforts of their home hidden behind an ip address. there are millions upon millions upon millions of vile, racist, filthy comments on Youtube, don't fool yourself into believing these people are only online or that they're just dumb people, these are some of the same people smiling and laughing with you in the office or walking past in the mall, they just know better than to spew their hate offline, we've exposed twitter bigots who own their own businesses and others who happen to be very educated.

But Twitter & Youtube comments aren't anonymous.

a lot of that looks like it was made by some racist whites but then again, some of that looks like it was made by blacks trying to be funny... we disrespect our own history and then wonder why everyone else does.

The lines are getting blurred more and more each day.

do you agree that most of these people wouldn't say the same things offline as openly as they say them online from the comforts and safety of their home?

Yes, but I don't think these people should be used to characterize an entire race.

It's the same with this forum. For all the racism spewed here I would guess most are real polite face to face.

I agree, I'd rather use history instead as a measuring stick to characterize an entire race.

So, you're saying that people of different races are genetically, and intellectually different than each other?

I said, and I quote: I'd rather use history instead as a measuring stick to characterize an entire race.

that has nothing to do with genetics or intellect, although I do believe that people of different races are genetically different, we're not "all the same" aside from skin color.
