    "I never used to, but now I do. Dont' know why, maybe it's cos I've been with a *white girl now. They just seem more 'there' solid and sexy and earthy, stronger presence. Hard to explain."

    now substitute 'white' for 'black'.

    from the OP's post he is clearly saying black girls are better than white girls. i pointed out that it was a racist thing to say.(and got a 2week ban from terry)

    "Any other guys find them really desirable? I often wonder why its more often dark guys and white women than vice versa but the reverse is beginning to occur.

    I dunno if it's some mysterious genetic or breeding thing but I just think they are so much more desirable generally, and I can't really fathom why, besides mystery and sensuality. Is this common?

    I never used to, but now I do. Dont' know why, maybe it's cos I've been with a black girl now. They just seem more 'there' solid and sexy and earthy, stronger presence. Hard to explain."

    Agreed.

    And not only that, but also sexist.

    IMO a completely pointless and immature post that should be closed down.

    You didn't point out racism, you called someone a racist. There is a difference.

    Example 1. "I think you'll find that what you posted is actually racism" - Attacking the post - No ban

    Example 2. "Racist" - Attacking the poster - Ban

    You're ban while maybe not justified by you is deserved because of your wording. What you said might be right but the charter states, "attack the post, not the poster"

    My advice: Take the ban and revise your posting style to suit the forum.

    Think you were banned for using the R word. Perhaps it is construed as personal abuse.

    i have to say i think is a shockingly racist thread but i suppose its no different to the hundreds "polish women are better irish women; irish women are dogs etc." threads.

    you OP you would have been better off just reporting the post. you have to be careful in AH, its a jungle out there :)

    racist= thats a racist thing to say. i didnt feel like typing a full sentence as i was barely awake after taking my sleeping tablet, that was the last post i made before i fell asleep. if i call a racist a racist how would that be a problem?

    "attack the post, not the poster" means if you cant debate with a poster dont start flaming them, i pointed out that the thread was racist, it is racist, how am i wrong?

    this thread is called 'is this racist', not 'is this racism'

    My apologies, considering this is feedback I presumed this thread was a debate about whether or not you deserved the ban.

    I don't think you are allowed start threads here to discuss something that is being discussed somewhere else just because you are banned from there.

    I actually came here looking to defend you OP as I thought you were being sarcastic and got banned for making a joke, which I thought may have been a bit harsh (but I don't know your posting history in AH either) I am a bit shocked to see that you do think it is actually racist.

    He is stating a personal preference based on skin colour and defining features. Everyone has physical preferences when it comes to potential partners

    Or what do you think skin colour should be treated differently than other physical features.

    +1 to that. I thought the OP was joking and also that Terry was joking about the ban. It's not racist. It's just a preference. I'm more attracted to women than to men. Am I sexist?

    If you think its racist, then please report the post.

    After last week, you are simply back here stirring, trying to make some sort of vague point over your own banning.
