Ask a black person what to cook for black guests, what music do the blacks like, how to behave blacks, how is it to be black, why are there so many thugs among blacks… What the hell was this site made for? To feel the difference between blacks and whites and to incite racial hatred more?

No it shouldn't be closed. Freedom of speech.

That said, I do think this site is pretty damn ignorant. This site is basically assuming all black people all like the exact same things and this guy is trying to make himself the spokesman for a race. Different people like different things. Furthermore anyone dumb enough to follow his advice is goign to piss off anyone who uses the advice on. One if you are asking what type of music to play when a black friend is coming over, you have problems. Two if someone comes to your house, and you clearly dont like rap, and this moron running this site tells you to play certain music, it is going to offend who came. And when you say "oh i went to the ask a black guy site and he said to turn it on" you probably won't have a friend much longer. When a a person of a difference race is coming over, treat them like you would anyone else. It really isnt that hard.
 
No, if the government shut it down it would violate the First Amendment, Fourth amendment, and the Fourteenith Amendment.
 
It's a stupid, racist site but people have a right to be stupid and racist.
 
if we shut down every site that offends somebody, search engines would become instantly obsolete.

There's a blog linked at the bottom of the page which (purportedly) goes in to why it was created. You can never tell for sure but on the face of it this seems legitimate and created with relatively good intentions. It's questionable as to what, if anything, it will actually achieve though, as the creator acknowledges. Regardless, I see no reason for it to be taken down as it stands.
 
"Who is the best rapper of all time?"

"It's either Tupac, Biggie or Jay-Z."

... Any questions about the best rapper of all time, should be immediately followed by the response "Where do you live?" and then an answer in accordance to the geographic area. :lol: These are white suburban people with a superficial knowledge of black culture. Asking them questions about black people will get guys like Ben Carson to shoot you. :lol:

Hey, speaking of this thread, you're black so I assume you speak for all black people everywhere. Is affixing "ghetto" to other words racist? Such as in "This room is ghettotastic!" or "Hey, nice ghetto couch, there."

Well, ghetto has historically meant a Jewish part of town... I don't know how it ever got associated with black people. I'd suggest knowing the person before you start using ghetto around them. See what context they'll use it in. We don't all use it equally. I use it for things that I consider rushed or borderline savage. For example, this morning I went for a run in the downtown area of the city I'm currently in, and saw a crackhead riding a bike while wearing a damn tank top, some of those old schools elastics with the huge plastic balls on them, and short shorts. My immediate reaction was "damn, that's some ghetto ass sh....". If I'm at another black person's house, I use it if we're pretty cordial. I don't just walk in and say something like "Damn, are they some rabbit antennas on your TV? That's some ghetto ass ****, my dude." So yeah, check before spec.
 
The plurality of my coworkers are black. I wouldn't know what I'd ask that I haven't already ....

So don't casually interject the word in that usage in Facebook. Check.

Agreed, but... all too often blacks will treat other blacks with disdain and contempt if they act "too white"... i.e. calling them "Uncle Tom", "Oreo" (black on the outside, white on the inside), and so on... which suggests that black culture is supposed to be monolithic.

I have black friends. I don't need to ask a web site.

I actually think the website is rather bold if not brave. The intent seems to be an attempt to have an open dialog on topics White people want to discuss but might be too afraid or embarrassed to ask a Black person directly. For example, one question I thought interesting was "Why do Black people have such crazy names?". Honestly, I've even asked that question myself because I find some of the names my fellow brotha's and sista's give to their children to be rather outlandish if not ridiculous (i.e., La'Quaysha...really!?! Good luck getting that printed on a door placard. :lol:) I'm sure the parent (mom) was trying to make their child standout, add some uniqueness to their character, but wow! :shock:

The only people who think that any culture is monolithic are racists and bigots.

You seem to have a special knack for missing people's points.



Some people's points are racist and bigoted. :roll:

Did you notice that I didn't mention your name?

Focus group research. I like the idea, provided the people answering the questions are being candid.

As a black republican (or Republican who is an American who happens to also be black, which ever is politically correct and doesn't give the false impression my patriotism is with Ghana) it frustrates me to see the clumsy, misdirected and sometimes offensive efforts by the GOP in the outreach efforts to black voters. They start out making their minds up on what black voters care about most often based on totally false notions. Then they find a handful of black conservatives who have zero credibility with anybody black to be the voices and faces of the GOP to black voters. My guess is they're being paid to say what GOP insiders want them to say and with enough money offered even I would make asinine statements. I've been begging a friend of mine who works with the local GOP organization to get me hired to tell them the truth but a big part of party politics these days, especially with the GOP, is only certain people are allowed to think for themselves and speak their minds. Everybody else has to agree with the group-think or be labeled a RINO.

Free insights:

1. Obamacare isn't worse than slavery. If anybody thinks institutionalized daily rape, beatings, forced separation from family to never see them again either as punishment or financial gain, amputations with no anesthesia as a form of punishment, forced to toil in the hot sun all day from sun up to sundown often 7 days a week and understandably drastically lower life expectancies is a better quality of life than what we've seen because of the Affordable Care Act is either very dumb, thinks the public is very dumb or got a huge check from somebody to say this.

2. There's nothing wrong, unpatriotic or racist about the National Holocaust Museum, celebrating Greek Week or Oktoberfest, having a section of town that celebrates America's French colonial heritage called the French Quarter, China Town, Little Italy, St. Patrick's Day celebrations or an exclusive national society of women who trace their ancestry to Mayflower pilgrims called The Daughters of the Mayflower. In fact, Americans of all races and heritages should honor and celebrate these groups. If you isolate just one of these groups and refuse to acknowledge their unique history and contributions to America or express offense caused by their very existence, people in that group will think you have something against them and will support efforts to marginalize your influence even against their own values.

3. Most blacks in America are ideologically conservative (however, this is rapidly changing with younger people.) What causes these conservatives to vote against their own values is the perception that the conservatives political culture despises them.
