You REALLY need to look look at the other thread titles in this forum and I suggest you ask a mod to move it to bts.

The United States is singularly unique in experiencing the phenomenon of "creationism" and/or "intelligent design" advocates seeking to eliminate the teaching of evolution science in favor of non-scientific philosophy.
Over the past year, with the evangelically charged U.S. election, the creationism movement has gained new momentum along with an increase in posts here on ATS. From a purely objective standpoint, the issue of an organized group seeking to diminish or replace a widely accepted scientific topic with one of pure philosophy and faith fits the description of a "conspiracy".
Just as we've added the "Peak Oil" forum for the increased topics related to diminishing oil reserves and increased demand, we've now added a new forum dedicated to the discussion of the origins debate, as well as the discussion of other alternative ancient origin stories.

These threads are stupid because you single out a specific group of people for something like this, obviously targeting said group, and then refuse to acknowledge evidence to the contrary or the fact that theres more than 1 group. For instance, why homophobic blacks, instead of just homophobes. When you do this, people question why you single out a set group of people and not just the group as a whole. There's OBVIOUSLY a reason..

Alex, i understand where you are getting at. ALL homophobes upset you but it really angers you when african americans do it because they have felt discriminated against and they should know better.
I don't feel Alex is being racist at all and I think it's sad that we can't say anything about race without being called a racist.
Anyways I felt similar when a lesbian woman made a crude comment about me being overweight.
It is quite interesting how people who are constantly discriminated against seem to have no problem discriminating against other people. Do you think that maybe it's a case of projection? You know, they are discriminated against and therefore they feel the need to pass it on to someone else?

First off just because you are black doesn't mean you can't be racist, anyone can be racist. And there have been so many off topic replys that I'm not sure where this thread is going.
