This American identity politics nonsense is completely retarded. You guys have lived in a bubble for so long, you think it's normal. Problem is, we fools in Europe still think that you guys are sane, and we start arguing about this nonsense, too. Thanks a lot!
I'm sure a certain segment of Wordforge would consider any news that depicts white people in an unflattering light to be race baiting. Just look at oldfella in the modern day slavery thread. Guy definitely feels race baited.
Think of how often we have seen the term "race baiting" used about prominent black leaders like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. The polar opposite of its original definition.
Announcements really should be linked to from The Red Room. I haven't seen this hoo-ha until now. @Dinner is the only proper racist we have here, I think. This may affect only him but that's his own fault.
don't forget Tererun who sees race in every speck of dust in our vast universe! That has to count for something!
Given the environment if one were to like authority they would have to fit into the racist paradigm. So if you follow your opinion to the conclusion he becomes racist by default.
(As Dinner) Liar, liar, stupid, crazy, liar, liar, liar, stupid, stupid, stupid, crazy, crazy, crazy, liar, stupid, crazy, liar, stupid, crazy, crazy, liar, crazy, stupid! There, that's all you were going to say, Din-Din, I saved you the trouble. We could get a fucking bot to do your job around here, really.
Nope, theres Soma and I'm sure Fleshlight will be back sooner or later. But it's a good deterrent against any new idiots who think WF is Stormfront Jr and that they'll be coddled. And if we get a return from people like @Lt. Mewa and @The Exception and TKO (whose username I still can't spell after all this time) who explicitly left this place because of this, so much the better.
I'm just casting doubt on the whole "created equal" thing. We aren't. Treating people as being of equal worth is absolutely the way to function as a society, but acknowledging our differences can't and shouldn't be disavowed.
@Federal Farmer disagrees! Why fret, FF? You'd be in good company with Warwick Davis and Peter Dinklage, and eventually Verne Troyer!
Shit like this reminds me of why I don't waste nearly as much time here. So, I already know the answer to this, but what's the staff's take on all that shit with people using the slur "apple" in reference to me as it applies to this rule?
Never heard that one, what's the context? Edit: did some searching and apparently you've brought this up before. I can't see why it would be any different. That said, context is important. As far as I can tell from a quick search the only recent instances are @14thDoctor and @Spaceturkey, and they have the same background? Edit2: After searching more I do however find multiple instances of you complaining about Anna using the term against you, but all I can find is occasions of her telling people why it's a derogatory term, including telling people to not use it.
The context is hypocrites using it the same way the word oreo would be used against a black person. I've brought it up in the past only to have it treated the way garamet treats inconvenient facts. Which is why I say that I already know the answer to my question.
I don't think we would warn a black member for calling another black member Oreo either though. As you say that you have brought it up before, can you point to where Anna apparently used it?
exactly! It's not your fault you are English, but denying it doesn't help you overcome your handicap.
You should though. #1 People outside the board don't know whose black and white. #2 There shouldn't be exceptions for anyone. Race baiting is race baiting. #3 One black person calling another black person an Oreo is still racist.
A perfect example of race baiting doublespeak. Now of course he'll claim that he's talking about Apple the computer company and not that American Natives are not a race but just idiots with lots of money from the casinos they own.
And we can see by Bickendan's response with the popcorn rep that Captain X's question is yet answered again. Left = "it's trolling not race baiting" "it's context not race baiting" Right = "it's not trolling it's race baiting" "it's not context it's race baiting"
FWIW if I've ever called Captain X "apple" it's because a good 30% of it is fucking useless and the rest mostly tastes shit and is only good when distilled into alcohol and used to marinade pork.
