Introducing Klanpoints™Race-baiting is a continuing theme on the Citizen blogs. While out-and-out racism is rare (PTC Guy's claim that Biblically speaking, nonwhites are subhuman "pre-Adamic" races notwithstanding), there is a near constant animosity toward minorities espoused by a great many bloggers here. Until now, there was no way to quantify this virulent stain on Fayette County's reputation. That is why I, Basmati, am introducing Klanpoints™ to track and identify those bloggers who carry on the tradition of hatred first espoused by the Ku Klux Klan over 100 years ago. Here's how it works. Beginning today, March 20th, each time a blogger makes a racial comment, a qualititative assessment will be made and Klanpoints™ awarded. Klanpoints™ will be awarded as follows: 1 Klanpoint™ - Blaming minorities for your own shortcomings in life (i.e. "I'd have gotten that job/tenure/girl, but an unqualified black/Mexican/Muslim got the job/tenure/girl instead". Also, 1 additional Klanpoint™ when claiming "reverse racism" when confronted with any criticism. 2 Klanpoints™ - situational outrage, blaming minorities for behavior that you overlook in your own race. Attempting to justify slavery in the USA because "african nations did it tooooooo". 3 Klanpoints™ - unsubstantiated claims about a minority: "Fayette county lets blacks show up at the welfare office whenever they want, white folks have to make appointments" 4 Klanpoints™ - Blanket condemnation of a minority "All Mexicans are lazy" "Black people can't handle credit" 5 Klanpoints™ - Use of a racial epithet that gets edited out by the Citizen staff. (BE CAREFUL, you might get banned for doing this too often!) Klanpoints™ are cumulative throughout the year, and rankings determined as follows: Race-baiter 2nd Class: 1-5 points Other ranks may be added at a later date. What can you do with your Klanpoints™?
