Anonymity (or partial anonymity) is part of a forum like this. Age, where we live, gender, and race are pieces of personal information.

To ask a forum member to disclose whether they are black does not seem to be a productive idea for a thread.

I'm 1/128 Native Canadian. What does that make me color-wise, pale pink? As long as it's not that overdone pink they paint condos in south Florida.

How does disclosing your race compromise your anonymity? There are lots of black people in Detroit, Crystal.

This thread might be more authentic if started by an actual black person.

Well, it doesn't really compromise the anonymity. Maybe I didn't explain very well.

This is a forum where the only identifying information about a person is their username. If someone wanted to give personal information, that would be OK of course.

I guess I would like to know the reason for ID'ing race.

It would be a totally different reaction if they asked who's from some type of European descent :-)

Yeah like that damn rednecks thread from a couple weeks ago or the constant Jjaba and Jews in Detroit threads, no one gets upset about them. I hardly pay them attention because it doesn't apply to me I wonder why some forumers couldn't do that in this case. Hmm... Ill just say some forumers are a little trigger happy on the racial outrage in some cases.

Rasputin is an elderly African American gentleman around here (an older version of Blksoul_x) who call our country Amerikkka, likes to mock others (black and white)... calls JoAnn Watson "a towel headed Aunt Jemima" (which is pretty bad since she is a spokesperson for people in the 'hood).

He likes to mock other blacks as being Uncle Toms with attached pictures of mid 20th century stereotypes such as Amos 'n Andy, Steppin Fetchit, and others dancing a jig and eating watermelons.

And he always ended his threads "Black_atcha".

He's pissed off a lot of forumers of all races, and rarely posts any more.

I always wished that I was black. I even tried to be black. There was a time when I tried to be blacker than black and was insulted when I was reminded that I was not black. I always try to impress black people by showing how black that I can be. And, I impress a lot of them. But, it always comes back to the point that no matter how hard I try I will never be black. Sometimes I get depressed that I am not black....and no matter how hard I try to fit in with black people, I am still not black, and I will never be accepted as black. I know that this sounds crazy. I don't care how this sounds. But, I am afraid that some black racist will kill me without knowing how I really feel. And, they will have killed the wrong white person. These black racists think that ALL white people are the same. Well, I beg to differ. If I could just snap my fingers and turn black, I would. Ask anybody that knows me. I wish that I was black. Now, how crazy am I? This just blows the conclusion that ALL white people are racists. I am really pis___that I was born white. But, anyway.... what difference does it make what color we are on here. We are just posting. We are just folks on a web site. Color shouldn't even be brought up. What is the point anyway? Why should it be important?

Umm...yeah. Not to sound like a therapist or a high school guidance counselor but maybe you should try being you and if that is black enough for blacks then so be it. If not you can be the blackest of all your white friends or the blackest white girl ever and that could net you a black guy if thats what your in to. See it can work both ways.

Well, I guess it depends on the season. In the winter, I'm more of a pale peachy color. In the summer, much more brown, and sometimes red! As a matter of fact, last summer, one of my friends commented that if I didn't get out of the pool, I was going to be darker than his winter color! I didn't get out. :-)
