IF you go over there and say "because this is the way black people are, your kid is a hooligan" then yeah it would be like this thread and I'm sure you'd meet resistance. In this thread you made the connection between his race and his behavior. You just had to throw in that he was black rather than say there's a boy in the neighborhood harassing my daughter, you say there's a black boy in the neighborhood harassing my daughter. I'm sorry, but there's a huge difference in those two statements.

People like you make me really uncomfortable because you are perfectly happy being racist and think anyone who disagrees with you is the PC police. I'm not actually terribly PC, I just call out racism when I see it. Your statements have been racist in my opinion.

I guess the mods don't agree with me and that is okay of course. Maybe I am in the wrong. You have the right to free speech, but to me it's hate speech and I won't just act like I didn't see it.
