I answered your "why is it wrong?" question in the original thread..
The purpose of this is just to re-post the answer I gave you, in case
the reply in that other thread got "lost in the shuffle"...I'll assume
your not brain-dead and could find the original thread if you forget
what you wrote (I could see how someone could interpret that last
sentence as hostile; DON’T, my literary style entails high levels of
poetic license with facetiousness. I gotta be me)

This what I wrote:


Tooly,

I'll answer your last question first....It's **never** wrong to
express your truthful opinion in a philosophical way, **no matter**
what the subject is. (It's cloudy, if your purpose in speaking the
truth, as you know it, was to "hurt" someone). You are truthfully (I
give you credit for that) relating how you feel. Nobody has to agree
with it, but that doesn’t diminish your right to express it. Hey, it’s
a philosophy forum..

Do I understand some of your issues??? Let’s see. I think this
would be part of how you feel. On one campus, they had an Asian-
American club, a Hispanic Club, and an African-American club. All hell...

There are a few reasons I avoid this topic (along with a few others)
in this forum. I'll give you one. People can't talk to each other
civilly in this forum (and other locations) about issues that don’t
have direct bearing on their own lives (i.e. God, origin of the
universe, etc.). What would happen if you rationally tried to discuss
some issue that directly affects their lives or involves them
personally??

If you can sift through the propaganda of history, it’s not that
difficult to figure out how humanity is at the point they are
(**every** facet of our current situation).

There’ a difference between “generalizations” (which have valid
statistical applications throughout our culture) and
“stereotyping” (which takes the general characteristics or traits to a
specific case). One is valid, the other is not.

Like I said earlier, if you want another view or rationale, e-mail
me.. I do it with Brian & Sean….

Peace brother,
