Well, like I've said before, the Coli is not a black-only site. It's partially owned by a white man. However, I do realize that some subforums and threads on here are spaces for black folks to vent and discuss things important to them, and I think non-black posters, and especially white posters, need to be respectful of that.

I fully disagree with any white poster who condescends or promotes white supremacy in any way on here.

When most of the topics here are from a perspective that is exclusive black people. it's a black site.

From the smileys to the gifs and they way they are used in jokes is from a black perspective..

How many times you went into a topic that wasn't even race related and felt lost?

All of you can go anywhere on the net and become welcomed with open arms just from being white. Y'all can browse the news comment section and even worst "youtube" and not be offended by racist shyt. But yet you all come here. Why?

This is clearly a forum for urban and black culture so why do y'all feel the need to come here and share your opinions on whatever is going on with us when I can't do the same in 95% of the forums on the net?

I just wanna know why black people can't have our culture to ourselves?
Not white, but just wanted to say, "Culture vultures be culture vulturing".

That's why I put a lot of cacs on ignore.
In not here for their opinions on anything, especially black related.

I mean they don't even have rhythm, what can they tell me about rap/hip hop :dwillhuh:

i do the same thing, as soon as i see a person is white on here, i usually will put them on ignore. just want something where i can encounter primarily black people for once in my goddamn life. :kanye:

No one said it was a "black-only" site. But for a site with mostly black people here white posters should know what to say and what not to say.

I'm not sure I agree with you about black exclusivity (white people contribute to the site too, including ownership). It's a black site, but not a black-only site.

Regardless, you're correct in that this site provides for the most part a black perspective and non-white people need to be cognizant and respectful of that, IMO.

But while the Coli certainly is foregrounded in black culture and for the most part remains expressively embedded in black culture and black people, the experience itself is not exclusively black. Almost no American cultural space is 100% racially monolithic. Many non-black people have life experiences and personality traits that attract them to this site. Non-black people like Hip-Hop, so you're going to see them on a Hip Hop message board. Non-black people like American sports, so you're going to see them on a sports message board. Non-black people like porn, movies, political/intellectual discussion, fukkery, etc., so you're going to see their participation in those topics. It's essentially unavoidable unless you set up some sort of racial purity test as a prerequisite for posting.

At the end of the day, this site is about making money, so I doubt that would ever happen. So essentially what needs to occur is regulation of white supremacist viewpoints (which the site admittedly fails at sometimes), not banning all non-black people.

And to answer your question (have I felt lost), never that I can recall. But anyways, I feel like debating with you on this topic is pretty pointless, as your view isn't likely to change, so I'll just bow out here.
