Milwalkee riots

Ok, I think black people have had it bad for a long time in America and also in a lot of other Western countries.
The evidence for that is overwhelming.
I don't think anyone should ever get away with committing a crime, but I think when it happens on a large scale the powers that be need to take a good look at the system and see if issues like poverty, discrimination or police brutality is the cause.

RobertE, Paulpablo, A theist and Belle Morte - may I ask what your stance is on that?
I don't understand your point of views on this subject.
Are you trying to create an equally opposite point of view to nullify their claims?
Where does the bitterness come from?

Personally, I've never been on a site where there were so many, seemingly, racist comments.
It makes me very uncomfortable and if there were ten more people reacting this way I would leave altogether.

Which comments seemed racist? Anything in particular I said?

You have an opposing view to him, therefore you're a racist.

That sounds like something a racist would say. You're pretty much Hitler at this point, Bella.

I said seemingly racist.
I also said I didn't understand your points of view.
And I asked what your stances are because it's always hit and run.
It was dead easy for me to say exactly how I feel about the subject.
Whatever your views are, if you think they're correct, then it should be just as easy to state yours.
If I'm wrong then I'm not afraid to admit it, just tell me how my point of view is wrong.

This is an Atheism forum, not a fucking ku klux klan roundup.
There's quite a few black members here, does anyone see them rounding up support against white people?

There aren't that many black members who are regular posters here. 

The only reason I'm here is because I happened to join during a period when this was atheist discussion forum. I got know some of the regular posters here, MOST of which are very decent people. If I'd been perusing the forums during one of the times when there have been multiple  nigger-bashing/ dog whistle threads going at once, I probably wouldn't have wasted my time.

Btw, none of you Usual Suspects need whine about about my black whining; That's not what I'm doing, assholes. I don't have any expectation that anything should or even could be done about it, or that anyone should care. I'm simply sharing my thoughts, as to how a member (particularly a new one) could be left with perception that this forum is fairly hostile.

I know you said seemingly racist, hence the question, which comments seemed racist?

I don't have any expectation at that anything should or even could be done about it, or that anyone should care. I'm simply sharing my thoughts, as to how a member (particularly a new one) could be left with perception that this forum is fairly hostile.

And it still is.

Criticising BLM is now "nigger bashing"?

I want an explanation too.

Honestly I think I'm done with this forum. At least for a while. I've become so uncomfortable here.
