    Racism on VBW

    I have been reading the Chit Chat section of VBW pretty thouroghly since the tragedy at WTC and the Pentgon. I have been very disappointed at how the people here are acting. Here is the bottom line, probably 20,000 people are dead from this, and includes whites, blacks, muslims, canadians, english, jews, and many other races. Now, it seems like many people here are getting cought up in racism. I think now is the time to try and mourn the loss, and to try and find out who did this. NOT label all muslims or arabs or whatever as terrorists, and NOT for the muslims to be saying that the US deserves this. NO ONE deserves this, and it sickens me when people say that. If those are the kind of comments that you people have to say, weather it be on the US side, or the mid eastern side, just stop and don't post anything at all.

    It has really disappointed me seeing people on VBW acting this way. I hope it stops, because i think everyone here is better than that. If it doesn't stop I think I will have to leave, at least until this thing is over.

    Good post. When I came here, i kept thinking "this is cool, there is no racism here like there is on some other forums i have read", but I guess not anymore.

    For whatever reason it's almost a way of life in some parts. If people from those parts visit the boards, you're bound to get something.

    yeah, i know it has always been here a little, and i usually have a really high tolerance for this stuff, but it seems like this disaster has brought out the worst in people. People are just making hateful remarks.

    I got accused of having no sense of humour when I pointed this
    out about 6 months ago. The personal attacks from 2 or three
    individuals were (to me) so hurtful that I left.

    I think moderation (THANK YOU, JOHN) is a GREAT thing.

    racism is a tomber growing in the back of mans head that blurs his sight and thought.
    in watermelon sugar the deeds were done and done again as my life is done in watermelon sugar.
