No forumite can call another forumite names based on race or attack them based on it. You can make observations, but on this forum black, white, purple and pink are all equal! That needs to be understood.

Might I respectfully suggest that the site's Terms & Conditions are somewhat wider in scope viz:

"Illegal Content” means material that is Pornographic, Discriminatory, oppressive, racist, hate speech, sexist, defamatory against any User or third party, offensive to any User or group, ...

Mind rather creating a new thread?

Anyway.

This "discrimination" is not based on racism, bigotry, "God giving us the right", racial superiority and inferiority etc. as the past regime believed. It is based on the injustices of the past, and I agree that it is a way of levelling the economic tables that need to be balanced as a result of past injustices. Whether AA and BEE are the best ways, I'm not sure, we've only been guinea pigs for so long.

I certainly do not agree with discrimination based on the false idea that races are superior and inferior to one another, bigotry, "God gave us the right" etc.

AA and BEE has nothing to do with the latter, of which I disagree.

Funny you talk about white beggars etc. doing it because they have no choice. I think most beggars with 2 arms and 2 legs could get jobs if they really wanted to. Thing is, they make a lot more money begging, and so become more lazy.

There is a famous white beggar in Cape Town at Constantia Village who turned down a job offer by the veterinary clinic accross the way.

If religion is invoked (shudder)
We do not look the same because god decided that is what he wanted.
We speak different languages because we tried to build a moerse big tower!

I still say this RACIST thing is a lot of hog-wash...People are NOT judged on how they look, but how they ACT.

I can quote racism from the bible, but i won't.
If you believe in the bible, then God was a racist.
Unfortunately not all people believe in the bible,nor are all people christians.

Agreed. Based on mentality and not skin colour :)

We all have the potential to succeed, as well as the potential to fail epically.

It is certainly very easy to find racist quotes in the bible.
Open the OT to any page, close your eyes, and point.
Done.

As we're not allowed to attack each other personally, can we do it with the spammers instead? :D

Have two tonight who've posted some filth on our beloved forums... and the threads'll be deleted anyway...

You may attack spammers with as much enthusiasm as you like.
The same goes for friends of cartoon cats.
:D

Different laws apply though. A person's right to his personal belief is enshrined in our constitution (even if it's a racist belief). However acting on it in a manner that might affect others is going to get him in trouble.

So to apply that to the forum, basically means that he can't use his stance as a racist to attack other races. In fact him stating that he is a racist has put him at a disadvantage because now all his posts will be more closely scrutinised.

Possibly.
I won't attack other races,they will attack me.
It is something called strategy.

Sorry to hear that.
You haven't found anything to believe in ?
Nothing?

Sorry, how is this relevant?

Why are you sorry to hear it? :confused:

What kind of beliefs are you talking about? Imaginary friends, faith healers, prayer, psychics, ghosts, eternal bliss, eternal damnation? Those kind?

No.
