Apparently I've been permanently banned from this no holds barred forum. I truly am disappointed many of you are so brainwashed as to associate obvious reality with racism. For the record I am not, nor have I ever been, a racist. It's you people that have stigmatized me as such. Why? I've asked myself this more than once and the only answer I can come up with is you people really don't have any interest in addressing issues that plague this society. I could get into the specifics but what would be the point. It's obvious that anyone who holds views different from yourself must be silenced. I have never advocated the KKK or neo-***** or any other group that categorizes a segment of society for the purpose of hate (unless you include differentiating between black americans and thug n*ggers). I don't know if this post will last one second but after all the hate that's been hurled at me over the past few years I needed to get a few things off my chest (even if it is deleted). I can't speak for other cities but the crime in Knoxville has skyrocketed in the last 5yrs and the majority is coming from one part of town. That murder, torture, rape case is a catalyst. We have to make a decision that seeks to address this problem. Doing the same thing is not an option, it's not working.
With that I wish you all nothing but the best and pray that you find what you're looking for.
