  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Whew! Good thing it wasn't white people eh?

Some contend they were white people.

Opinion | A Racist Attack Shows How Whiteness Evolves

While it’s tempting to see the reported ethnicity of the boys suspected in the assault as complicating the story and raising questions about whether the assault should be thought of as racist, I look at it through a different lens. Instead of asking what the boys’ reported racial identity tells us about the nature of the attack, we should see the boys as enacting American whiteness through anti-black assault in a very traditional way. In doing so, the assailants are demonstrating how race is a social construct that people make through their actions.

Apparently to some they are white, because race is a social construct, and American whiteness involves anti-black assault.

Well I've heard a lot of black rappers who hurl racists slurs. To be fair, I've only heard of one who urinates on young girls.
What do rappers have to do with the racist attack by these teens? Nothing. There is a rapper who urinates on young girls?

There are only three degrees of intellectual separation between blacks according to some on here: criminal, athlete or rapper/musician/entertainer.
