<p>Businesses should ignore race and hire whoever is qualified. I don’t understand this “racist” business. If the only thing you notice about a person is the color of their skin, then there’s something wrong with either him or you.</p>
<p>why shouldn’t people be allowed to be racist? Because racism is a sign of ill health in society and hurts everyone. It’s a system by which under qualified, untalented people rise in the businness world etc. by virtue of their being white “American” males, while people of other races, religions and ethnicities are blocked. It nurtures mediocrity and prevents the rise of talent and its in the people’s best interest to discourage it.</p>
<p>gamba: Yes, people should actively condemn racism. The government shouldn’t enforce it.</p>
<p>felipe: I see anti-Southern bigotry is still in style. Last I checked, the most recent neo-Nazi march was in Ohio.</p>
<p>The latest neo-Nazi march was in Toledo, OH to be exact…my homecoming was canceled becuase of it. Thank you Nazis.</p>
<p>I agree that it’s unfair to say that only the south is racist, but the fact that there was a neo-nazi march in Ohio doesn’t necessarily mean that the members of the community supported their actions. In fact, usually groups like the neo-nazis pick places that are unsupportive of their causes (skokie, anyone?) because it’s better shock value and gets more media attention</p>
<p>If I were racist I would defend to the teeth my right to be such…The war on racism is just another battle of opinions.</p>
<p>Gambadent, you’ve misunderstood the question. I did not ask why people should not be racist. I asked why the government should be allowed to tell privately-owned businesses whom they can hire and fire.</p>

<p>huh? that was really random.</p>
<p>I’m the captain of that word</p>
<p>Really random. Random, really. Random Random.
Random really. Really, random. Really Really. </p>
<p>Someone told me I’d like CS - however, I think he’s a joke.</p>
<p>He is or his suggestion…</p>
<p>The person… kind of like you. :rolleyes: </p>
<p>(Casual dueling, in mockery of Esquared’s posts)</p>
<p>Perhaps his life is a joke because of all of the drama you bring into it, VICK.</p>
<p>Have I made you jealous somehow? Megalo isn’t my lover, despite the love letters strewn in old posts. :o :rolleyes: 
</p>
<p>Don’t call me “VICK” - your saliva permeates the eletronic impetus with that harsh syllable.</p>
<p>What is there to be envious of? </p>
<p>Perhaps if you offered more sexual favors, I’d be more protective…</p>
<p>VICK VICK VICKITY VICK VICKERS</p>
<p>Rerrrick, did you read this thread’s title?! Hmm? </p>
<p>Read it again. </p>
<p>And tell me you’re not swayed. </p>
<p>:( </p>
<p>Please, it’s Victoria.</p>
<p>So, you’re sexy?</p>
<p>I cannot simply call you Victoria</p>
<p>How about “victory”, vick?</p>
<p>That will work.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not as sexy as you. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>It’s too bad I consider you a loss.</p>
