h hi everyone i have something that has been playing on my mind for a while now i was under the assumption that if you are over 18 you are an adult and that SH members will agree.I was surprised when some one at a munch said to be iam too young to be there and besides as a black man your chances are next to nothing so forget having fun here and go home.i just looked at the lady and smiled ,walked away befor e i could do something very you think i should have said something sooner or was i right to just walk away .oh and for the record iam 26
You should have told her your age and questioned why you were too young in her opinion and more importantly you were entitled to question whether racism exists in that group.
The reality is that it was probably her naive opinions so a quick slap may have given you some gratification.
If you look at the photo ads (women seeking men) there is a big demand for black men assuming your tackle matches the stereo_typical length.
Dont let one stupid bitch put you off mate!
Well Trix, now you have seen Steph's photo I bet you will be devastated that she will not play with you.
Also Steph, the term "coloured" went out a long time ago and is considered insensitve by some. It demonstrates a sheltered existance.
I didnt quite get the half page lecture on etiquette at meetings. This was not part of the thread and therefoe implies you think Trix is the sort of person to behave like that.
Choose your words carefully.
Personally,I would have ripped her lungs out,the racist b***h.
Only my opinion tho.
Lb :love:
I am as outraged as everyone else that has replied so far, so dont let that one remark get to you. Like Steph you are a little bit too young for my usual preferance but I am asure there are many to whom your age would be an asseset rather than adeterant.
As for your colour, well im suer its not the first time you have met with racism, nor will it be the last, but as we all know only a complete plonker would have mad the remark in the first place so your not missing anything!!
We all meet with some form of discrimination on here (hey, ive been told, "Im way to big") just dodnt let it get to you!!
Cricket ......why you've decided to turn this thread into a personal attack on Steph I don't know but please don't do it again...............there's no room for personal insults on here and you might not like what happens if you do it again.
Steve
Easy all!
Very sensitive subject.
Personal insults?Nope
Freedom of discussion?Absolutely
BUT it takes a lot to get ol Lb riled,an racism is top of that very short list.
I would personally like the mother to be named and shamed on this forum tonight.

Lb :love:
So, still waitin for the outing of our resident racist.
Anyone got the balls?
Lb :love:
The balls to stick a post up which would serve no purpose other than to be deleted two seconds later? I doubt it. Naming and shaming is all too easily abused, especially when it comes down to `one person`s word against another`, with the amount of people on here who get rejected on a regular basis, and who often kick off via PM as a result, allowing this would just allow another avenue of revenge. Best answer is for the mods to handle it with discretion, via PM, rather than to encourage public smear campaigns.

Trix -
Have you approached the said person by pm since?
Did you tell anyone at the munch?
Have you informed a mod?
Why have you waited nearly a month before doing anything about this?
Why have you not replied to your thread?
There could be a good genuine answer to all these questions - I just think jumping to conclusions and opinions is a bit early.
Just to qualify -
I think racism in all its forms is despicable - also violence on women - also random blame/name & shame - also unprovoked personal insults -
If this person did say what they said....it was wrong...but also wondering why Trix left it so long to say something about it and why has he not replied to any of the posts on here so far?
i get in an see this thread and honestly if i should reply...........
there are a few different topics rolled into one here....
1) age has always been a preference thing but hopefully people look at the bigger picture, i know people who are 30 going on 60, and also know person who are 50 going on 15.....
2) the colour thing... i am really sorry that trix had to deal with this,because he is a nice guy
i have dealt with it when i first came on here with the ads, which is why i rarely use them anymore.. and still deal with it every so often in the chatroom...but i suppose i am fortunate to never have to deal with this in the forum and at munches......
i suppose the best way to look at it is this...is someone is like that then who would want to be friends with them anyway.... consider it an escape mate....
