TGB...did you not read what he posted? I think he summed up what many of us were thinking perfectly.

No no no, for TruthGetsBusy, "Animals" has to be applied to white people on NikeTalk before he can accept its usage.

This falls into the same category as when people claim they should be allowed to call other NikeTalk members idiots because "it's true." That's not an excuse for any rule violation, much less bigotry.
What leads someone to characterize others as "animals" is often shaded by prejudice. The problem has become cyclical, with many people now deliberately saying it because they know it to be a source of offense/irritation. (e.g. Someone used "animals" to refer to a group they identify with/care about, so they're going to use it in reference to another group as a measure of "revenge.") That ends now.
Did it ever occur to you that threatening a ddos temper tantrum over anything and everything you don't like is, itself, an attempt at censorship?
We have every right to run a forum founded on principles of respect. That's what we're doing. If you can't get with that, go patronize one of the billion other forums on the Internet. No one's forcing you to be here or violating your rights in any way.
oh really.....check out exhibit a where a nt staff member said that an insult levied at my person was justified

I'm black, and I've called the people in those WSHH threads animals too, if that matters.

No, I don't think you did. Never did I talk about the use of 'animals' in the literal sense. I'm saying it's not wrong to describe people as animals if they're acting like animals.
I think your issue should be more to do with black people portrayed in an unflattering light by people posting that WSHH garbage. It skews the perspective on NT if THAT is the only crap you see about black people on here.

Would it be okay for a white man to call black criminals the N-word, as long as he called white criminals the same thing?
He could justify it by saying "I call all crminals N's, because they're beneath other humans, it has nothing to do with race."

My bad I thought by "proper context" you meant in it's literal sense. Yes, I've already made a thread about WSHH and how its posted on here, but you can't tell people what threads to make. It just shows where a majority of NT gets there "news" from. It also shows what they choose to discuss.
But when I speak on this "animals" thing I'm using all my experiences in life to come to the conclusion that blacks are called animals, savages, etc. quicker than whites or others. NT is just proving my point. Some people showed their true colors in that Katrina/Japan thread.
