Okay guys/gals, I've cleaned up 4 threads tonight/this morning and I started on this one but, my brain is fried and I need a break. I have placed many posts in "hidden" mode until I have time to come back with fresh eyes. It's especially important that we follow the rules of our forum. (In case you need to review them; http://www.tvfanforums.net/index.php?/forum-9/announcement-5-forum-rules/ ) I think it's important that we all have an opportunity to express our thoughts/opinions and discuss them openly... without backlash from those that may disagree. Racism is an especially valid subject this season. But, it must remain in the context of Big Brother. This site has ALWAYS been strict with it's rules: comments must remain on-topic, no cussing, no baiting/flaming each other, etc. If anyone wants to take this subject to the off-topic forum so that it may be discussed on a political level or "real-life" issues of our day then please feel free. But, the discussion of race in this forum will be about things said or done in the house or it will be edited/deleted. -CeCiMom
