So people are aware before they become subjected to racists assholes

even the moderators back this vile racist crap that i have been reading

gumtree should be changed to *guKKKreee*, or even *guBNPtree*

both titles are not in your face, but nevertheless it will give subtle messages to people like me to find another forum

Peace

I believe saying that a person is a racist is subjective. Not all people here in Gumtree are racists. Personally, racism may also be defined as the act of separating groups according to the ascribed race categories. We are all citizen of the world and if we don't stop blaming people of bullying, our lives will be in misery. Remember, whoever you are, wherever you came from, whatever you do, nobody can hurt you if you dont allow it. The moment we become so sensitive about everything, nothing can make us happy. Without your permission, nobody can take who you are inside of you.

Be thankful that we are not in the war zone and we are not starving. Racism and bullying cannot be tolerated. But if you have respect to yourself, people will give that respect back to you! Love life and let us treasure life. Life is too short... Smile

Although I have not seen the posts written by racists I agree that it should not be allowed. Now they have been named are they going to be banned and what they have written removed?
