http://www.matchdoctor.com/blog_76567/how_to_stop_racism.html
Please use the blog above as a point of reference.
I find this blog wholely racist. It begins with this comment:
Racism will never end until one group of people change their perception and approach towards the subject, and that group of people is the black society.
There have been a series of this type of blogs over the last couple of months. Specifially, blogs that target the "black community" and blame that community as being responsible for racism. They are inflamatory and in my opinion shouldn't be allowed on the front page.
I know that people are going to try to claim that I have posted such blogs. But, I rarely, if ever, post a blog on racism unless it is in response to having to constantly log on and see these race-baiting blogs. Obviously, "black society" is not going to be able to stop racism on its own. The comment is inflamatory and blantanly racist.
I understand that Matchdoctor policy states that blogs can be on any subject. But these types of blogs cause too much strife within the community. In addition I don't think that the people who advertise here do so to support these types of blogs.

I've been deleted four times so far.
Another individual has been deleted more.
The blogger in question seems to be trying to bait our African-American members into an argument.

He's got his blog auto-approved off now. Normally, I would support that. But he just wants to be able to spew his racist ideas without anyone being able to disagree.

He's completely deleted dozens of posts.
This is why I'd like to see commenting cut off on blogs...

Ah, but he managed to bait you. The only person whose comment is left is yours.
If that's not a viciously directed blog, I don't know what is.

And here is another one.
Imagine you are an african american and you have to constantly log on to these types of blogs. This one isn't as bad as the first one. But, one has to wonder why Bill Cosby's comments are being brought up again after all this time. And what is this person's interest. There is a quote too, without a link to where the quote came from.

For people that don't understand why this bothers me let me try to explain. Part of my training in the military was on cultural sensitivity. I surround myself with Veterans now who have the same training. It is very usual for them to engage in conversations of the type that generate discussions that make others feel uncomfortable. The military taught us to know what we should and shouldn't say. Before that I grew up in a military town. I grew up around many cultures. So I'm very sensative to what I say, at least in the real world. The point I'm trying to make is that people here don't seem like they have the slightest idea how to communicate with other cultures. Their approach is often reckeless, insensative, and ,frankly, very ignorant. Its difficult to reconcile my life in the real world with what I'm constanly having to read on the internet. Too bad really.

I couldn't believe that I got deleted off that blog! I agree. Racism is not the creation of black society! It exists across all racial lines period. It is there and racism is the underlying ignorance that people teach their children.

I did a lot of multi racial advocacy on my first campus and did a lot of work with international students. I love and enjoy the differences that multiple races and ethnicities bring to the table. I can't stand racism, especially now that I have my own multi-racial family.

And when you begin with a flawed premise, such as "Racism will never end until one group of people change their perception and approach towards the subject, and that group of people is the black society", and delete any comment that point out your flawed premise, it's just perpectuates the thing you claim you want to stop.

@ Peach:
You were a voice of reason. People like Sterling just hate not having their prejudices reinforced...

He made about six consecutive post now, and he seems to be debating with himself.

He can only debate with himself because he won't let anyone else disagree with him. He just forcibly made himself Schizoprenic!

Yeah, I can't figure out why he hasn't deleted his responses.
Now his comments make him sound like a nutjob, rather than the racist he appears to be.

His actions and responses towards the posts that were deleted shows how much intellect he really lacks. Solving racism won't come to a stop by some sort of change like this, and where is he getting this information from? Where is his proof or support for it, other than this sort of 'that is how black people are' junk. It's pathetic, purely pathetic.
