MODS: wtf is up with this thread? Do you not noderate anything? Dumbs posts, while sometimes entertainingly polemic, have become outright racist.
Is that kosher?

Yes.
Even if there's a small chance that we can educate and possibly give the original bigot another perspective, we should leave the thread open.

WTF is wrong with you? DID YOU EVEN READ THE FIRST POST WHERE AN ARTICLE ABOUT BLACKS DOING WORSE AND WORSE IS POSTED?
This thread is not insulting to blacks calling them the N word or anything, but more of the Cosby approach...."wtf is wrong that's causing them to go downhill?"
Like people in this thread joked about thug culture, I think that's probably the biggest problem. AWWWWWWW but shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... that's not PC to talk about so shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh just close the thread? STFU IGNORAMUS!

What the ****?!?
"Kosher", when used in this way, is a very negative term that I find offensive.
But that's cool with you, because when racism is practiced against Jews, it ain't racism.
Some other terms that you may not realize are racist:
1.Gyp. As in, That car salesman gyped me on my trade in.
2. Welch. As in, If you pay a losing bet, you are said to have Welched on the bet.
So, in the future, be careful when calling people racits.

You are a bigot, but this thread (not your post but the subsequent responses) aren't wholly about your insecurities and bias. As someone else noted before, your words may not explicitly be biased, but your usage and tact are.
Check the tact variances...
"I am extremely disturbed by the marked down-turn of the employment statistics for African-Americans."
"Black people are steadily decreasing their quality of life, particularly lagging are their unemployment rates."
"What is wrong with African-Americans these days?"
"WTF is wrong with you people."
"F-ing N******!"

I'm bigoted towards fellow AMERICANS of ALL COLORS and anyone who has mastered the usage and subtleties of the English language would know that I'm not insulting blacks. If you don't know WTF that means then STFU and move on

Ok, fair enough. So what is your intent? Are you only wanting to inform us, educate us, or just complain? Whichever is fine by me. However, you're not going to enlighten anyone here with your current approach.
Come on. Teach me. Convince me. Or else, what's the point of even posting?

Just provoking thought and generating hype with cutting edge prose .
Actually I think I got what I wanted..... in one way or another folks blamed black problems on the ghetto lifestyle choice rather than on white people and oppression from the man. I agree.

oppresion v ghetto? That's exactly chicken v egg...seriously. Why are there ghettos? Why were there ghettos in France 1000 years ago. Why are there ghettos anywhere at any time? Oppresed people live in ghettos. So which is to blame, oppresion or the 'ghetto life style'? Chicken or the egg...

Being white, I obviously can't comment on what's "racist" and what isn't.

Your post is not racist in my view, in the context of this thread. You are observing what you see around you and merely stating the fact as they appear to you.
