RR, I don't normally see this kind of thing on TFL. But, you know, this is the 'net, right?
Sure, we don't want to see this kind of pointless, insulting conversation associated with the RKBA, but we have over 6,000 members on TFL now. That will include a few people you and I don't care for. And, we get a few anti-self defense trolls here from time to time .... if I was an anti-self defense gun bigot, and I lacked ethics [did I repeat myself?
], then maybe I'd post racist / Neanderthal comments on the firearms forums, no? Just maybe?
Mention it to the folks at AR15.Com. Take care.
Live and let live. Regards from AZ

RR according to that board and definition over at ar15 almost everyone is a racist.
If someone were to say that blacks are generally better than asians at basketball then they would be a racist? I think the NBA speaks for itself, the liberals like to fantasize that everyone is equal in every way. Sorry but I believe in reality more than they do.
". The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ABILITY and that a particular race is superior to others".
If that ability is superior is it racism?
I dont know this McNugget guy from adam so I am not defending him. I am saying there are differences in ability between races. Its easy to see, just watch some sprinting, swimming,ice hockey,basketball, boxing, and I think most will get the point.
Then again maybe this definition is one that is clintonesque in nature, that if your race has better ability than another race you must then see your race as superior to the other. Gee I wonder how one might come to that conclusion, maybe by kicking ass everytime the other race takes the field agaist you. I know this is a narrow area, sports that is, so maybe I misuderstood the meaning? Dont know, maybe someone else can clarify.
As to this not helping our RKBA, I don't see how these topics can help.

"I am saying there are differences in ability between races. Its easy to see, just watch some sprinting, swimming,ice hockey,basketball, boxing, and I think most will get the point."
First off, there's no such thing as human races. There are greater differences between dogs than between humans and we don't speak of specific dog races. We're all one species.
By this logic than certain "races" are prone to certain things. We should speak of how "whites," a term I've yet to understand, are more prone to white collar crime.
Sports have traditionally been the way out for many poor individuals. This doesn't imply that one group is better at sports than another. Blacks in the US are pressed into sports programs by a number of factors: desire for quick riches; lack of other opportunities; the media's idolization of sports stars, and ratty schools.
For years some people held that blacks simply weren't good at tennis or golf. I think that's being proved wrong. Yet does this mean that "whites" and others aren't good at tennis? Of course not. It simply means that one cannot speak of racial traits as determinants and that empricial evidence, as convincing as it might seem, is faulty in this case.
The physical differences between white and blacks is no different than among an equal number of whites and an equal number of blacks.
Once we get away from the jargon of races and inherent difference we can finally move away from the Liberal mania of categorizing people.
