Re: well i was going to edit out the link and POOF
its just funny it got reported so quickly, i was going to edit out the url.
i honestly didnt thin it was that bad, but iwas going to delete the link out of respect to others.
i have seen FAR worse on this site that has been kept up.
not a big deal, although i do think it is slightly prejudiced. (because it is a gay guy)

Re: nvm
Why are you assuming that it got deleted because it was a gay guy maybe because it was a burning cross representing the clan and utter hatred?

SO? Just because the guy was black DOES NOT change what a burning cross means to others. When a black man calls a black man the "N" word does that mean others within listening distance (no matter what their color) can't be offended by the word? No, it does not.

Yes, Yes it is. If you remember, when that video first came out it was HIGHLY controversial and MANY people were offended by it.
White or black it doesn't make it any better.
A burning cross represents what it represents no matter who is authorizing it's use

to be quite honest, do you think a comment like this would put drama to an end?
i edited out the rolling eyes icon as not to offend and to nip any drama in the bud before it actually began.
ithink we are just having a discussion here about why something would be deleted.
no one is arguing here.

Re: nvm
I do hope the madonna picture with the cross burning will be deleted out of this thread, otherwise I fear that a good debate will be pulled because of it.

Seriously? If it was a swastika would that make it different?
It's a symbol of hatred and death (and not death in polite ways either) Can you please explain to me how this symbol is NOT offensive?

Re: nvm
the way i see it:
-the ppl who do not find a burning cross will feel "i cant believe how easily offended some people get"
-the ppl who do find the burning cross offensive will think "how can these people not get offended by it"

but you keep posting things that clearly will cause drama this week. I.E. announcing that you were going out to the store and taking your dog after ALL the hullabaloo the day before.
