This thread was about the treatment of blacks in the US. Why am I not surprised that this simply devolved into another thread for kad to talk about how genetically inferior they are.

Pointless southern prejudice aside, your opening post failed to give us a topic of discussion that hasn't been done to death.
Perhaps we wouldn't have gone down the familiar paths of conversation if you had started with something a bit more nuanced that "grr southerners, screw em"
I'm getting tired of the constant chip on your shoulder dude. I opened a topic on the removal of the Confederate flag and the extent to which racist symbols and practices should be removed, particularly in the south. This clearly wasn't as tired as you claim since more respectable people in here like strike and Panzer responded in kind with opinions regarding the degree to which we blame southern culture when it comes to institutional practices and public backlash in the aftermath of tragedies. Others like PVC and monty also brought up points about the morality and efficacy of attempts to alter culture as an outsider.
It is not my fault that you cant separate issues as broad as 'race' into multiple questions to tackle individually. Just like you can't seem to shut the **** up about gamergate every time video games are discussed in a serious manner. The only thread where people stay on topic (Ukraine) is by far the most active and largest thread. So yeah, excuse me for being a tad annoyed at seeing another thread once again end in 40 posts between kad and husar or you and husar.
Christ even by my standards you are whiny.
If your long term memory could extend further than six months you'd know that every racial shooting debate turns into this without intervention. There's been plenty of developments you could have steered the conversation with but you have failed to present one, so frankly you've brought this on yourself.
Here's a bone: a bunch of idiots are calling for everything confederate to be removed:
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu calls for removal of Lee Circle statue.
Group calls for removal of Confederate monument from Lake Eola Park.
‘Gone with the Wind’ should go the way of the Confederate flag.
This whitewashing is even threatening to spill into other centuries:
Jefferson Memorial, Confederate statues enter national race debate
And sadly its starting to actually influence people outside the hugbox:
Dukes of Hazzard Toy Car Axed Amid Confederate Flag Controversy
You want to keep on topic, talk about the topic instead of pissing and moaning.
Dont forget to work shaft there buddy.No disrespect to Husar BTW, keep fighting the good fight.

Oh and by the way, while you were bitching about the seasonal massacre and subsequent pointless race debate, this was fastracked to the president's desk two days ago:

Fortunately it's not my country so I can laugh at your race baited ass with impunity.

Removing the flag from the state government building was a good move and rightfully demanded (since it gave the impression the state government was endorsing a racist regime).
Removing it from historical monuments is nuts - the civil war still happened and the flag is entirely appropriate on these monuments...

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
