The Study of Racialism

Dear Mr. Sweet,

I have noticed that this thread seems the only way to give a reply.

Regarding the reason of my suspension I like to humbly point out that I'm not posting from my home adress, but from the library where I do my research. They are closed on Sundays, and I'm not online every day of the week. Most of the time I'm reading the scientific books I loan from the library or going about my other businesses of life. I feel that your 24 hour deadline works againt people who do not have internet at home and are not constantly online.

The 20% illegitimacy rate was mentioned in a newspaper article about 15 years ago which stuck in my mind. Along with another report that in 75% of all marriages there is adultry, both by men and women. At the time I did not do research and did not think to collect clippings.

But if it is so offensive I would like to retract it, also because it's not part of my thesis: 'Bleu Blood is Black Blood.'

So I hope these two arguments will persuade you to retract this unjustified suspension.

I will lift the suspension this time only. If weekends are a problem for you, then in thefuture, do not post unsubstantiated factual claims on Fridays. Better yet, do not post unsubstantiated factual claims at all.

Please try to grasp that this site has strict rules against posting usubstantiatied factual claims. It has nothing to do with a claim's being "offensive." It has to do with a claim being factually inaccurate. If you fail to grasp this simple point you will not be allowed here.

Regarding retraction, if you post a counterfactual claim in an excess of enthusiasm and cannot back it up, you must retract it. But you must retract it within the warning period, not wait 48 hours, as in this case, only to retract it after you are suspended. Again, if the weekend is a problem, do not post unsubstantiated factual claims on Fridays. Better yet, do not post unsubstantiated factual claims at all.

Finally, please do not use this forum to continue your thesis when you are under suspension. This forum is reserved for discussions of site policy. The next time that you post a non-site-policy message in this forum, your suspension will disallow your posting anywhere in this site, including private messages.

Oops, sorry!

One hears of prisonors who are kept in prison years after their sentence has expired. Am I to suffer this cruel fate at your hands today?

Sorry. It was an oversight. Your posting privileges have now been restored.

I was able to log-in. Is this an oversight, a mistake, or am I allowed back on this forum?

I see nothing in the moderator logs that your account was permanently deactivated, so unless another moderator has better information, I would say that you are welcome to post again.

Obviously, since you have previously been suspended, your messages will receive special scrutiny.

As I recall, the basic problem you kept bumping into was your claiming that various famous European historical personages were "Black," but then semantically wriggling around requests for clarification as to whether you mean "Black" in the sense of: ethno-political self-identity, as a specific fraction of sub-saharan ancestry, as perceived by their peers, or as perceived by their own government.
