166484, Nah, the reason is quite simple: Posted by Orbit_Established, Mon Feb-13-12 01:35 PM
The lack of race debate on these topics is an admittance that the two sides are farther apart than ever and have no grounds on which to have a regular discussion:
a) (Most) black people (think)know white people are hopelessly naive on the matter and so don't fucking bother to even complain anymore
b) (Most) white people (think) know black people are mindlessly paranoid and can never have a fair discussion about racism
This is why you see less normal race chatter around these parts (and in other related paradigms. Film is another one: its rarely talked about. Viola Davis' recent crusade is radical today and would have been run-of-the-mill even a decade ago).
People just don't bother anymore.
The only people who engage are the extremists on either side, which explains 75% of youtube comments.
