I have some things to say about the rude post with rude language posted by Sakeena (which has since been closed).
I do not think this was a very good post, Sakeena, by posting such a thing, you lower yourself to the level of the people you are criticizing. What good does that do? I think it would be far better for you to try to explain to them why they are mistaken. However, the administration also needs to do it's part, I agree they are too quick to ban things which they merely disagree with, but which may contain some truth in them.
You should consider, Sakeena, WHY you are able to understand that racism is a bad thing. Is it because you were born a perfect person? Or is the truth that you were lucky enough to be born in a part of the world, where the people have learned to understand that racism is bad. If you had been born somewhere else, where most of the people are racist, you would likely be racist as well. Only the very best of people are able to not be racist, when everyone around them is.
I will tell you a story from a book I own, it is fiction, but contains an important truth. There was a man in the book, he was born on another planet where the people were very civilized and religious. Later on in the book he was talking with some people from Earth (our planet) and told them that it was entirely possible that they would go to heaven after they died and he would not. The people from Earth did not understand this, because this man seemed very holy and religious to them, but he explained, that because of the advantages he had been given during his life, of being born and taught on such an advanced planet, far more was demanded of him by God, ethically speaking, than was demanded of the people from Earth.
