Q: How do you suppose the RHP community benefited from your temporary absence? Upon returning, did you notice any striking changes?
Here's one thing I don't get. If I am such a bad person, why is it that so many decent people clamour to get in my clan, the BWA. Especially women. What's the deal with that? Maybe people are jealous. I've met Russ and Chris personally. To my knowledge they don't have a problem with me or what I do or represent. Our clan avatar has not been taken down.

Q: I'd like to get to an issue that I'm sure a lot of people are wondering about. One of the site's moderators, Phlab, has gone on record as saying that all RHP members ought to act in accordance with their skin color. Do you feel that this is a worthwhile guideline for behavior? Do you agree with Phlab that people with black skin ought to act black, and people with white skin ought to act white, in order for people of all colors to have a more fruitful online experience?

OK, on to your question. Why stop at skin color? Should not the two sexes behave in their various expected roles. There are some very dominant women on the site. How about gays? Should we have an expectation of what Jews should be like? How about Muslims? And atheists, let's not leave them out. Should all white people be like Lester Maddox? Now if I'm white, can I also presente myself as a Klansman like one RHP member has? I have yet to hear Phlab confront this. If I may, may I ask you a question? Why has not Phlabbabit said anything to H of H about presenting himself as a Klansman?
Maybe an obvious question is "How does one act in accordance with their skin color?" What does that mean?

It was a relief to see some folks, however, behave like adults, and speak their mind in a mature fashion.
I'm glad you are back, Kirk, but then, you never left. 😉 Holla!!!!!!!!

What Phlab and most of the rest of the community said is that WHITE men should not pretend to be black in order to denigrate and belittle that race AND to use their black-face, minstrel act as an excuse to spew racial slurs.
