Forgive me if this has been posted before but:
Shit, we all get in these exciting race debates with even the most harmless thread. I propose a Detroit book club. Non residents would be included. Everyone would read a book and discuss it. The beauty of it is we could have facts to back up our points, or quote books with opposing views. It may lead to an intelligent discussion besides your racists and I am prejudiced and may break down some of the hatred between the races on just the Detroit Yes Board. Than we can take it to the world. Hahahahaha *Evil Laugh*
Bruce Fortner, Texas Industrial Areas Foundation-interracial coalition that used racial debate among races to strengthen their solidarity.

Don't tell Oprah about your idea, she'll be pissed and try to take credit for it........
Your suggestion is a good one and starting off with a common book might just get us all on the same page(pardon the terrible pun). |

Get what you feel to be consensus, name the book and I'll give it a try.
I'll tell ya, though, lately I've been thinking that this forum is only good for what we've been seeing here: pithy, bad one-liners and logic resembling Swiss cheese. Too damn easy for the intellectually dishonest and the intellectually incapable to elbow their way to the adults' table. |
