My name is Dan'lBoone, and I'm seeking a forum where I will not see any form of racism, gay-bashing, sexism, as I have witnessed on other forums. I do enjoy a lively spirited debate, and one that does not get into a name-calling fest. I may be older than a number of your members, however I enjoy the young people and I've learned from the young people more than I ever thought I could.
I hope that this is a forum where there can be a calm and reasoned debate without any insults being tossed around. I look forward to entering any thoughtful debates with others here.

Hiya,
We tolerate a little ignorance here, but we try not to let it get out of hand. I would like for people to be able to identify themselves as racist/ homophobic / sexist and discuss it rather than have them brewing and building 'brotherly love' in hate groups.

Suppression of racism and any form of negative hate only promotes their covert practice. The main problem of racism today is that it is hidden, and often protected under the mentality of political correctness. Believe it or not, modern racism is far more covert than it ever was in the past; which means that it is a much more complex problem now. It has only mutated forms. You cannot run away from racism and hope it will go away. It will never go away that way.
The exposure of racism is the key. Political correctness is not.
