why would you ever know about the air jordan "riot"? that's not even national news. I had to look it up, and it's just a bunch of shitty news sites and a forum called "chimpout"

edit: I managed to find a bbc article, but they used "stampede", not riot

I go to chimpout because I think it's funny. It cured me of my antisemitism. Also that's where I got that from.




Also I think that if people knew about it in brazil they'd try to get it banned from the internet or to get whoever hosts it thrown in jail with a bunch of rapists (as if they could). Sometimes I feel like I'm in communist russia without the planned economy and borsch.

this is where i'd tell you to kill yourself for being a terrible person,

Why? It's one of the most harmless pastimes a person who doesn't go outside can have. Also how can you not laugh your ass off watching this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7-O3NAl274

Or reading a news article with a picture of a ugly black man saying that he killed a two years old because of a crack pipe

Quote
but earlchip says i can't do that to people who aren't middle class suburbanite wasp-y white people.

No, actually sometimes I can be white guilted too

Quote
so instead i will just say that, seeing as how you're from brazil, i'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you're not a white person.
if this is the case, then congrats, you're visiting and enjoying a community of people who despise you for your skin color.

I don't think they'd do that, even if I had dark skin. There is a topic in there about how "gandhi hated niggers" with people posting about how much they like indians and respect gandhi and I think you probably know enough indian people to know they can be darker than some "black" people.

Quote
trust me, it's not just black people they have a problem with. and even if you are white, still, to them you're a dirty foreigner. those people would gleefully have you killed just as much as they would any other non-white.

Chimpout is all about negrophobia but its userbase has a diverse ethnic background (indian, mexican, "azn", etc). It's nothing at all like stormfront (which is pretty dumb).

Chavez is very far from being perfect and is still a repressive strongman, but he's one of the first leaders who's actually doing something for his country. In fact it seems that Latin America is finally getting rid of the shackles of Western power, and Chavez is one of the people making it happen.

Hugo chavez is using oil money to enrich himself and control his own people.
Not true. In fact oil money only went into the pockets of a few superrich individuals before he was elected (in monitored elections by the way). He changed that. The standard of living has gone up, particularly in the poorest regions. He also helped start a Latin American monetary fund and bought up a third of Argentine's public debt to help reduce the influence of the IMF, which is immensely important for any sort of economic development to take place.

It's not perfect by a long shot, but he's not some dictator who's robbing the country blind. That's just what the US is saying.

Fun fact: the Bush administration supported (and probably helped organize) a coup against him in 2002. It was successful for a few days after which it was reverted because of massive popular resistance to the coup and widespread disapproval from everywhere else in the region.

also aspargus buddy its very hard to take anything you say seriously now that you've openly admitted to being a racist

I think that if you thought-police yourself into NOT!THINKING!RACIST!THOUGHTS! you end up ignoring valid points. There are some black intellectuals  who acknowledge that black people are sabotaged mostly by a bunch of stupid cultural traits of their own and self-pity so I'll agree with them.

And that kind of news is funny because it ironically reinforces a stereotype OH WE ARE SUPERIOR HUMAN BEINGS liberal people insist saying is not true and pretty much negates the effects of both affirmative action propaganda and people who actually make an effort to distance themselves from the stereotype.

I read a news article I can't find right now about how some black people in US moved from "the ghetto" to suburbs because they were doing well economically and wanted to avoid the "ghetto culture of crime" and then they end up being racist against "niggas" as well because the house prices went down enough for the economically poor ghetto people to move in, bringing with them the exact same kind of behavior the rich ones disdained, thus illustrating Chris Rock's views on "niggas".

personally I don't think either party should bother

In the united states, stupid culture effects everyone. Watch MTV for about fifteen minutes. People in general suffer from self-pity and the worse a position you're at in life the worse it gets. There are shootings, robbings, stabbings where I come from all the fucking time and guess which race is predominantly doing that shit? Not because of being better or worse than anyone else, because they're just the majority in the area and you see more of that color on TV. My little brothers GF's car got stolen a couple months ago and they were quick to blame some black dudes down the road but I'm 90% sure it was one of their white-pill headed friends. That is life. People are shitty and people are good, it has absolutely nothing to do with race. And if you let race hinder you or make you hinder others, you are a fucking racist.

He said some—too many of our men, they're proud, they brag about doing things they're supposed to do. They say 'Well, I- I'm not in jail.' Well you're not supposed to be in jail!"

rofl. i love how you think racism is natural and people need to actively force themselves into not thinking racist thoughts. here's something that'll blow ur mind: normal people don't need to thoughtpolice themselves, they simply do not have racist thoughts.

Well how isn't it then. How is it more or less unnatural than playing video games for example.

Quote
such as??

Such as "IT'S ALL EUROPEAN COLONIALISM'S FAULT" being complete bullshit?

Quote
black people are sabotaged by years of slavery, oppression, brutality, being treated as second-class citizens, institutionalized racism that stifled any sort of social mobility, and so on. here's a thought: maybe some black people behave the way they do because they are a product of their horrible environment (that was engineered by the ruling elite), not the other way around.

Here's a thought: MAYBE BLAMING SLAVERY IS WHAT EVERYONE ELSE WITH A WHITE GUILT COMPLEX DOES AND I ALREADY HEARD THAT ONE A BILLION TIMES?

Quote
imagine growing up with no social support network, no generations of rich, established family members to fall back on, no job opportunities, no proper education because of massive defunding of public inner-city schools, and so on.

This is stupid. If you're black and live in a favela in Rio de Janeiro you can still become middle class through personal effort and by studying etc. Here's a thought: which one do you think will get you the most pussy: being a nerd or joining the drug traffic? Those shitheads get a bunch of people killed because of their own greed and a culture that REWARDS being a shithead more than being a hard working individual.

 In US things are a million times better even for the poorest people, so it's not because of a lack of opportunities or welfare checks that they shoot each others and steal cars. Trailer trash live a life style that is almost as shitty yet you don't concede them the benefit of not being responsible for their situation because of european racism.

Quote
racists like to say SLAVERY ENDED 200 YEARS AGO ASSHOLES, GET UR SHIT TOGETHER conveniently forgetting that black people still didn't have human rights until just, what, 30? 40? years ago? barely a single generation. and then as soon as black people finally got some rights you conveniently had the AIDS and crack epidemic spring up and ronald reagan doing absolutely nothing about it for years so that he could play with his flaccid dick while millions of blacks and gays died a horrible death.

Here's another case: there were a bunch of indian people who lived in Uganda. Then Idi Amin Dada took power and decided to expel anyone who wasn't black. The indians left Uganda with basically nothing and moved to UK and are doing fine now. Uganda turned into an even worse shithole due to that very same "I'M A VICTIM OF EUROPEAN COLONIZATION" mentality.

Quote

ahahahahahahaha this is the thing every racist piece of shit points to to justify their horrid beliefs. fun fact: chris rock himself has since regretted making those jokes.

'In a 60 Minutes interview, Rock said, "By the way, I've never done that joke again, ever, and I probably never will. 'Cause some people that were racist thought they had license to say nigger. So, I'm done with that routine."' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niggas_vs._Black_People

Belief in what? Belief in black people electing shitty role models? Because that's a FACT. I mean. Jews are always bragging about Einstein and a bunch other smart jewish people and they're rich and a dominant minority wherever they are. Then you have young black people idolizing 50 cent as a role model. WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'LL WANT TO BE WHEN THEY GROW UP?

I don't actually know ANYONE that idolizes 50-cent, black, white, or whatever. He's a god damned moron that happened to become a popular rapper (and he's not very good). That's it.

Anyway. Unfortunately... racism is kind of built into our 'lizard brain'. HOWEVER, this doesn't mean everyone 'rationalizes' their racism. Which is the important distinguishing feature of the kind of racism to condemn, rather than to just *tsk tsk* at when you let a outdated, destructive instinct guide your actions (lizard brain racism). The worst the lizard brain level racism can produce is momentary hesitance of acceptance on another person due to their color but not outright impossibility of acceptance like rationalized racism. Its the tribal thinking of "You're different, I don't like you as much" Chances are though you wont dismiss them as your enemy based on your first split second unless you are simple minded.

In short, yeah, non-racist people aren't desperately trying to not be racist but the older parts (more dickish parts) of their brain doesn't give a fuck that they are rationally not racist. Of course, its also reinforced by culture/society. But Culture and society had to get it from somewhere (tribal caveman age).

There are other things that have a larger effect on our "judging you the split second I see you" brain now-a-days though than race. My guess is that what clothing one wears and their body langauge has a bigger effect on us than race. Especially since clothing covers most of our bodies now, its probably effected our ways of thinking over the ages.

Just because something is of the natural world, doesn't mean its should be legitimized in the civilized one.

It lays the roots of issues man, that's the whole idea. When something's been in places for hundreds of years, it affects many generations further and further on down the line. They are raised and culturally engrained into matters often beyond their control and they tend to live in line with that.

It's not the be all end all, and I don't think TOO many would say it is. It's not like life was perfect before white people came along and started fuckin' with everybody else. But it DOES make a serious impact, QUITE tremendous really.

You have to appreciate that we're talking about things that go back very far, but whose repercussions echo generations and generations ahead.

The White Man's Burden was A VERY REAL THING. VERY real. This actually happened. Hell, it doesn't even stop at humanity. In New Zealand, European colonists killed off most of the indigenous birds and species because they felt that they were inferior to European versions of similar animals, and caused the extinction of dozens of animals as a direct and PURPOSEFUL result. That's FACT, you don't think similar attitudes about other cultures in relation to European superiority wouldn't have impact the nations upon which they imposed it?

I don't consider myself ANY sort of political denomination and I'm not going to sit here and tell you that white people are responsible for every single problem on Earth. But they have had a strong hand to play in more than their fair share, I can promise you that. Does that mean I'm going to sit here and feel sorry for things my ancestors did? No, but I can at LEAST do this world the courtesy of trying to be better than that.

oh, so colonialism, slavery, and institutionalized racism is bullshit (despite overwhelming evidence),

Maybe not, but blaming EVERYTHING on it sounds too simple minded to me and people won't stop doing it. I think today's cultural trends have a much bigger role in keeping black people in shitty lives than keeping bushmen caged in zoos in the 19th century

Like, CHINA is currently hogging african resources, exploiting the corruption of whoever people elect over there and people don't even care about it. AT ALL. BLAME IT ON APARTHEID INSTEAD.

but somehow black people being inherently stupid and just inferior beings who are too lazy to bootstrap their way to success is the real deal (with you offering zero evidence to prove any of this). got it.

aspy look at how stupid you are:
let me repeat your quote again:

"that basically explains why some men prefer trafficking drugs"

again:

"SOME MEN"


Men IN GENERAL do retarded things for sex. There's no denying this.

Quote
some men turn to a life of crime for various reasons (maybe some are legit stupid, while others forced into it through generations of oppression/no opportunities). somehow, according to you, this means all of those men of similar ethnic origin are guilty and should be condemned. do you seriously not see why this is wrong?

Jesus christ. Oppression? Do you honestly believe people chose to become this

http://media.photobucket.com/image/crips/spt12/crips-1-1.jpg (http://media.photobucket.com/image/crips/spt12/crips-1-1.jpg)

because of slavery? BECAUSE A BRITISH COMMANDO MURDERED AN ENTIRE KHOISAN VILAGE IN 1875?

aspy, if you're willing to believe that all black people are inferior because some of them turn to crime (regardless of the reason) then where do you draw the line with your generalizations? using your own logic i could just as easily say all men - regardless of skin color - are inferior beings/violent psychopath rapists because some men do a bad thing. do you agree with this? why draw the line at black people or poor people? why not condemn everyone?

Even when people invest a lot of money trying to provide adequate education to black people they don't do as well as asian, indian, normal (lol), etc kids which suggests either that a) they indeed are intellectually inferior, a hypothesis I dislike because it's not that funny to laugh at retarded people.  or b) they're being held back by certain cultural practices "successful black people" usually stay away from ( MORE PUNKS I SMOKE YO MY REP GETS BIGGA )

Just read the last page and in the Philippines 13 is also the age of consent but it gets ovverruled by 'laws' in the locality which often makes it illegal. I forgot the proper technical wordings. But nationally, it's 13 but you'll still get caught because people are against it. I think the same applies to Spain.

fuck it.. i just remmeber. we actually got that 13 age of consent because of the Spain colonizing us some time ago.

it's 13 in quite a lot of countries but culturally they prosecute people, or essentially ostracise them because it's fucking creepy. I think in Japan it's like 13 as well (which is why I only jerk off over japanese porn when they've got big tits or I know they're at least 20, so it's less likely to be teenagers). I think England kinda got it right with 16, though most people (except losers like me) start fucking long before then.

None of those countries with super low age of consent actually produce "legal child porn" because they've all signed international agreements telling them not to. Besides, that stuff wouldn't find its way to wherever you are unless you're actively looking for it.

Post by: Farren on January 04, 2012, 03:12:36 pm
age and maturity is bullshit anyways, I've only met a handful of peope period at any age that were actually "mature".

Less you're talkin strictly physical maturity which is like 15 right? i've actually had 16 year old girls hit on me a couple times and I had to do a double take because I look young myself and can't really tell at first just by looking at them until a couple minutes/seconds of thinking about it. Right now I kind of got a preference for a younger girl though because I'm kind of looking for someone unspoiled and not fucking degenerate like I've been running into lately. And I think it would be easier at a younger age because you can teach them shit like how not to be a user and/or terrible person before they let their hormones put em through that fuck everything phase or they get their hearts broken and decide to treat men like objects (what I just got done dealing with). I know that sounds like I'm generalizing but I'm not, I know people are different I'm just going off of what I've seen and have had to deal with on a constant basis.

By younger girl I mean like eighteen and up I wouldn't ever do that shit and I actually got to where I automatically ask age and maybe even a license because I could see somebody trying to trick me if I got drunk or something and didn't think about it too extensively. This actually happens where I'm from 16 and 17 year old girls will slip into house parties, look like the other girls in their early 20s and you got to be careful.

No it's not, it's just a forum about harmlessly poking fun at black people and it was someone else who, out of his own free will, decided called me a racist and I didn't even try to get on the defensive and explain why I'm not a racist because that's almost as dumb as blaming the fact that someone is a single mother of seven kids, all by different fathers on colonialism and the KKK. How is excusing people for bad behavior on things they didn't actually suffer any BETTER or more morally acceptable than believing that because someone has western african facial features that person is predisposed to criminal behavior?

1. colonialism, institutionalised racism and the slave trade have made a shitty situation for black people that they are still not out of. In certain areas they simply get arrested for being black. This is due to a couple of centuries of, let's say, a negative culture towards people of african descent. You couldn't really say what you've said if you had any idea of the shit they put up with in the us. The rammifications of such things last centuries. Not days.
2. If you think a race of people have a certain lean towards criminal behaviour, you're a moron who is at odds with the leading geneticists, psychologists and neuro-scientists, y'know involved in people's behaviour. Also it clearly shows you're a racist who judges people on superficial details.
3. a website which 'harmlessly pokes fun at black people' continues the stigma that they are inferior, and to be laughed at. It is dumb, really disturbing, dangerous and grotesque and to be honest kinda insulting to be of the same species as the kind of people who find that kinda shit funny.
4. you honestly think people here will become dumb racists when he's older?

Yeah but today you have welfare, you can vote, you have public schools and a bunch of other things, even if you don't enjoy the same standards of living someone in Denmark does there's no acceptable excuse at all to have 9 kids with different people and look after none of them and people fucking do that out of their own free will, not because of racism.

In US more black people are killed by other black people than by the police.

Did I say that anywhere?

I do believe that some people might be genetically prone to exhibit violent behavior (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoamine_oxidase_A (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoamine_oxidase_A)) , but then every armchair/real psychologist will state that genetics don't define everything about a person so that would be a shitty excuse even if it might have worked in a murder trial.

Associating black people with crime is just something you end up doing by 1) being robbed by black people 2) watching black people rob others. You do that automatically. There's no way around it.

How do you blame this on racism, by the way, how do you blame haiti in general on slavery (which they abolished  by themselves) and people stealing their precious resources when dominican republic is in the same island yet, despite still being a bit of a shit hole, isn't doing as bad as they are? I'm sure you can find a way to blame it on US interventionism (which is what people usually do in this case)

i'm white, easily amongst the most liberal minded people here, and like every white person with an iq above 10, have a strong sense of white guilt.
I didn't experience the industrial revolution, the london blitz, enoch powell's call for a race war, or the miners strike yet all them still affect me. Middle eastern politics is the way it is almost solely because of the british and french empires carving up the land into their own little countries and promising people one thing, and then totally turning their back on them and supporting a regime which is illegally occupying a large part of palestine (known to some as israel). Many youg people brought up in palestine might not have experienced it as it once was, yet still display a hatred to the occupying force, because it still dictates their lives. Iran's policies are heavily influenced by it's experience with the colonial british. Again people might be born who have not personally experienced it, yet will still foster anti british views.

things which have happened in the past dictate the future. rhetoric about the crusades is often said during talks about the war on 'terror'. Should the aboriginals in australia stop complaining about the fact that they aren't being treated as equals because white people took over 200 years ago and they should learn their place?

I LOVE IT how people can blame anything they want on US and corporations' interest if they try hard enough. Yeah, for some reason it's because of US's interests and interventionism that haitian people chopped down all their trees for coal and turned the entire country into a desert and ended up having to eat mud cookies because they can't grow anything on sand. I think they wanted to make it more like their african homeland lol.

Voted for their own interest? People like that will vote for anyone as long that person has dark skin and is at least a bit charismatic (number one reason for ghetto rats to vote for  LOLBAMA). People like that voted for PAPA DOC. I'm sure a bunch of stupid toothless inbred republican rednecks voted for mccain because he was white (not like it would have made a difference, but still... is that self interest or just being a 'racist' retard?).

Like Aristide. You can say that he didn't work to fulfill US's best interests. You could say that people voted for him because he represented their interests and that he was deposed because he tried to extort money from France. But he was just as shitty and corrupt and self-serving as anyone else that has ever ruled that country. I think it's kinda funny how instead of using the past to avoid repeating the same mistakes, this whole "it's slavery's fault" ordeal instead makes people do the very same things that got them in that situation in first place. It looks like they have a new US-backed (lolbama) papa doc in the making. If only people had elected Ron Paul in 2008 maybe US wouldn't be messing with other countries like that.


Sigh.

Some people have even managed to say that it's because of the interests of "US and corporations" that people say this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belo_Monte_Dam#Economics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belo_Monte_Dam#Economics)

shouldn't be built (at least the way it is being built), as if it was actually economically advantageous and as if it didn't have the potential to be socially catastrophic.

Ok, pretend I didn't go to chimpout. Pretend I went to a website that mocked WASP's for being morbidly obese, waving US flags around and being stupid in general. Would you still think that was racist? I think people like that ruin the whole "white power" cause.

Also I think you'll have to agree that I would have a much bigger chance of being killed in South Africa (failed state lol) than being killed by a Ron Paul supporter (because it's bad business) or by a chimpout user. Even if I was "brown" (which I'm not but I don't go around bragging about it because it's retarded to be proud of things you didn't do), because negrophobia is a widespread phenomenon and is not limited to those white power KKK people like tom metzger which you seem to think represents chimpout's userbase.



It will be done when Dada locks the topic.

I LOVE IT how people can blame anything they want on US and corporations' interest if they try hard enough.
See, this is why I mentioned earlier that you're just angrily flailing about, spouting anything you can come up with. So in your view, we're just interested in demonizing those poor corporations and blaming everything that's wrong with the world on them, and we have to jump through a lot of hoops in order to do that. Because obviously it's not true, and corporations are only wonderful opaque power structures and can't possibly be responsible for anything bad.

Meanwhile you reject the label racist whilst simultaneously saying things like this:

I think they wanted to make it more like their african homeland lol.

Voted for their own interest? People like that will vote for anyone as long that person has dark skin and is at least a bit charismatic (number one reason for ghetto rats to vote for  LOLBAMA).

And then there's this:

Like Aristide. You can say that he didn't work to fulfill US's best interests. You could say that people voted for him because he represented their interests and that he was deposed because he tried to extort money from France.

You don't know enough about history to even talk about these things. Haiti was completely ravaged by France, just completely robbed blind—it's the source of much of their wealth—and then reduced to utter misery by a century of US interventionism. After their successful struggle for liberation from French rule, the US even supported France's insistence they start paying reparations for the crime of finally kicking out their oppressors.

Aristide, on the other hand, correctly insisted that it should be France who should pay reparations to them for sapping their resources dry and leaving them in a situation they may never even recover from. The reason why the US supported and probably helped organize the 1991 coup against him was because it was under his rule that Haiti finally seemed to be taking fate into its own hands. Clinton permitted him to return only if he adopted specific harsh, neoliberal policies that would have hampered Haiti's ability to develop.

But yes, it's obviously all their own fault.

Ok, pretend I didn't go to chimpout.
No.

He's clearly doing what inri does best. Actually, even if you hated his opinions he did generate like 13 pages of discussion. And information was gained and shared even if you didn't convince him of anything.    I think the best way to handle it is just to troll his ass back.

why are you guys just deciding to back out of condemning this crap? you could have predicted the troll response back at post one. he said some bogus shit, consistently. if he wants to pull a troll thing out of nowhere then fine, he's even more of a repugnant turd, but don't do it for him.

Yeah this is literally the dumbest excuse ever. I don't even care if he was trolling or not, he was saying crazy racist shit (and like Jamie says he's been doing the same thing for years, so even if he was trolling, he still genuinely believes these things) and joking about it isn't how you deal with that. That's basically the same as making rape jokes and then telling people to lighten up because they're "just jokes". So yeah, if you want this place to be like Reddit then the right response is to "troll back".

Yeah totally, especially considering that Swordfish is female earl you fascist son of gun!!!!

No, I get that not banning him would have been more egalitarian and shit (also HELLO I have been AWAY over Christmas!!!), but like surely out and out racism is one of those things where it's not a good idea to give each side of the argument equal weighting? I mean I know like most people tend to have NIHILISTIC WORLDVIEW WHAT IS TRUTH BUDDY and shit, but fuck racism and racists.

Fuck them with the sword of unracism.

Also: Are there no black people here any more? That's a pretty sad state of affairs if so. The people here were pretty much the only black people I ever spoke to for most of my life ;_; (not due to RACISM but because of lack of opportunity/confidence to make friends which weren't mirrors of myself hehe).

I agree with earl which is the point I was trying to make.

He does put humor into the site, its not always as grating as racism and honestly if I remember correctly he didn't even throw the racism around that often I think this is the second or third time I've seen him do it? I'm not saying look past the fact that he's racist. Ream the fuck out of him for it but atleast there will be some sort of discussion.

Like I pointed out earlier. Yes there were 13 pages of us calling him a racist piece of shit but despite that there was actually some pretty cool information being shared. Stuff like that doesn't happen as frequently when like earl said most of us are the same person talkin about the same shit with the same ideas.

We need some kind of friction even if it is from someone like inri.

hi welcome to reddit enjoy your stay.

I'm not even gonna bother with the HEH AT LEAST HE WAS FUNNY...... bullshit which is literally the dumbest I've heard in a very long time and just ask you outright: if a member of your family or a friend suddenly started casually talking to you about MEIN KAMPF and how it was completely right even though that genocide thing was kinda lame, would you tolerate that? would anyone here tolerate that? because, you know, I'd try to talk to them about it first, but not for very long. the point is to verify they're REALLY THIS TERRIBLE and that it's not just a miscommunication or mistake on your part, not to try and "change their mind" and then excommunicate them out of frustration for not being able to do so.

you excommunicate them because they're horrible, obnoxious cysts on society that you don't want to be associated with.

for what it's worth I actually think it's too bad we did lose a good opportunity to really talk about something SUBSTANTIAL, but big deal.

and are we really gonna create our own little fantasy enclave where no one can have social problems or delusions or issues or even different backgrounds? we're all a bunch of first world white boys banishing any gamer who's not like us.
yeah, this is bullshit.

we ban shitty people, and it's actually been AGES since we last did that. even gave this guy FAR more leeway than any other community (except for reddit) would have. the reason we have this group of people here today is not because we're pursuing an active policy of selecting our members based on their whiteness/riches/politics but because the site is basically just a group of people who stayed because they know and like talking to each other.

ya my best friend from childhood is kinda like mince, minus sexism and plus being a hide-in-the-hills gun nut who once got arrested for calling a black guy a "stupid nigger". he's half hispanic. and no, I haven't fucking "excommunicated" him (listen to yourself), because we're actual friends, he's not a bad person despite saying and thinking some terrible things, and this whole racism thing is a pretty recent development he picked up from some imbeciles he was hanging out with.

and my mom says racist stuff a lot, but I only rarely say anything about it because she has bigger problems

it shouldn't be news to us wannabe-worldly dumbos that racism is a symptom of deeper issues, not some isolated intellectual theory that you can reason out of people. perfectly fine, mentally healthy people don't become racists. yeah, but he wouldn't have to be a racist if he'd just bootstrap himself up and be smart like us boring self-righteous boners masturbating over how unsexist and unracist we are!!!!! actually in light of that, maybe you can actually gauge where mince was coming from as misguided and gross as a lot of stuff that he said was

the only way you can justify banning him is if he is actually doing damage to this community, which I don't think he is. the vote seems pretty split: jamie, dada, and konix versus me, farren, dietcoke and possibly bonzi?? it's pretty obvious which side is cooler though
uh yeah this is bullshit. you seem to be mixing together the fact that there's no members anymore with this one isolated incident of a shitty person getting banned. you make it sound as if we actively drove all the members away and wanted the site to consist of its current memberbase.

it doesn't matter what panda did back when but for the record jihadjerry was far more of a detriment to this community than mince ever could be

aw that sucks, v & mark were cool

i dont even think i see drule post here at all so why does it even matter if they think he's a butthead or whatever?
I think they were sick of the forums dwindling into inactivity, and they specifically mentioned being irritated with drule's irc presence. idk if I totally buy it but it must have at least contributed to them leaving. hopefully they will be back when eds site or the next SW launches

I typed all of this with one hand btw and it's no wonder people who peck at the keys usually have a ton of grammar and clarity issues too

I'm not a fan of peremptory banning someone on the basis of having the wrong opinions, but when the guy stoops to comments like "number one reason for ghetto rats to vote for  LOLBAMA" without showing any willingness to concede to the idea that he might be wrong it's sort of a justified ban. Even if Inri's thing is to constantly troll and antagonize he crossed the line by making a lot of discriminatory and vehemently hateful posts.

As a side note though I think the discussion could've been handled in a more mature manner by the opposite side of the camp as well. If the guy is stupid enough to adopt the views he presented in this topic I don't think he's going to be smart enough to discern arguments embeded in snarky and ironic post, or in someone plain yelling at him for being a racist piece of crud.

if a member of your family or a friend suddenly started casually talking to you about MEIN KAMPF and how it was completely right even though that genocide thing was kinda lame, would you tolerate that? would anyone here tolerate that? because, you know, I'd try to talk to them about it first, but not for very long. the point is to verify they're REALLY THIS TERRIBLE and that it's not just a miscommunication or mistake on your part, not to try and "change their mind" and then excommunicate them out of frustration for not being able to do so.


ahahahahahahahahaha

I don't think you understand what it is like to be an american...or atleast an american south of the mason dixon line.
 
I am the only living relative left in my family that has not adopted some sort of racist tendencies and I honestly don't know how I didn't. People are like that and the best you can do is try to push them in the right direction, tell them they're stupid and laugh at them, or ignore them. "Excommunicating" them is not the most mature route. Maybe where you live you can do that shit but I'd be talking to myself most of the time which is what I already got a problem with.

Alls I'm saying is the dude was trolling you and he might actually be a racist or he might just be a really good troll. You guys fed him though and kept the shit going so there is no one to blame but you.
 
If you outcast and ridicule those around you with bad traits and tendencies there will be few, if any people left to scruitinize. Thats part of whats wrong with this place I think. People take themselves too seriously. What battle are you fighting? +1 for civil rights I banned some dumb fuck brazillian who hates black people. You don't want to hear a dumbasses dumb shit? Dumbasses are everywhere but they got shit to share like anybody else and you'd be suprised what they got to offer if even unwittingly.

Panda isn't here and we aren't, what? 19 anymore? Maybe we should start accepting stupider people for what they are (up to a point) and try to educate them instead of banning people left and right who have warped viewpoints.

I only ever saw the making fun of snarf half but yeah I agree with that, tho none of those peoplewho purportedly chastised chef are probably even here anymore

also lmao @ jihadjerry being worse than inri. yeah, some guy who at worst was kinda unfunny is totally worth permabanning over a fucking bigot who did nothing but derail topics and annoy people. jesus christ.
that was at least 90% a joke but jihadjerry and pals were part of making this place more and more INTERNET which I definitely don't see as less detrimental than some guy posting stuff absolutely no one here agrees with/would ever agree with

ya my best friend from childhood is kinda like mince, minus sexism and plus being a hide-in-the-hills gun nut who once got arrested for calling a black guy a "stupid nigger". he's half hispanic. and no, I haven't fucking "excommunicated" him (listen to yourself), because we're actual friends, he's not a bad person despite saying and thinking some terrible things, and this whole racism thing is a pretty recent development he picked up from some imbeciles he was hanging out with.

and my mom says racist stuff a lot, but I only rarely say anything about it because she has bigger problems
I am the only living relative left in my family that has not adopted some sort of racist tendencies and I honestly don't know how I didn't.

give me one example of you giving this kind of leeway to someone you DIDN'T KNOW. who you didn't have some sort of connection to as a friend or a family member.

I "get" that you sometimes have to ignore stuff like this because it's easier and you can't always expect your fabulous principles to get you anywhere or have any real effect or benefit, but inri isn't a family member whose racist bullshit you have to ignore because you don't want to cause a rift in the family. he's just a random guy who's been doing this sort of thing for years and really doesn't deserve any kind of special protection.

this is fucking garbage. I don't have the energy or arm power to debate you on this, tho I know you wouldn't be able to defend these opinions/what essentially amounts to liberal whiteguilt buzzwords if you had to. any sort of logic you could fabricate to defend these irrational feelings would mimic objectivism and contradict everything you supposedly stand for. in actuality you banned the guy because you found him annoying, so obviously you'll get some protest from those who didn't find him annoying. that's the limit of the influence of morality on your decision and this discussion.

you clearly don't plan to unban him tho so I guess that's the limit of this convo, might as well delete the thread.

Like I said most of my family has racist tendencies but all my friends are from different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. My family sees that and they do respect it if even they still hold on to some archaic belief system. They're slowly comin' around, just like anyone else would.
 
That does sound bad though. So its ok to keep on keepin' on when I know the person on an intimate level but if I don't I should hate them? Because thats what that kind of behavior sounds like to me, hatred.

thanks for making a list, it would have taken me forever. yeah, all those things annoy or disgust you enough that you think he deserves to be banned. that isn't the only possible response. and no, you don't have to be a racist to not have that reaction. you know who I am right? I'm not even Farren who many of us have argued with in the past about perceived sexism and homophobia (not that that should decrease the value of his opinion). I was probably the first person here to speak out against calling everything a faggot or retarded back when the only anathema was racism, and I used to get made fun of for my opinions on feminism/against sexism (some WERE pretty lol tbqh). I'm plenty sensitive to everything inri's said. the worst thing was the snuff film, which would have been worth a ban in and of itself, if only he were the one who posted it. instead, he just ate everything you fed him and turned it back on you by saying something immensely offensive, to a predictable result

I can't go on, please don't form any concrete stable negative opinions of me

what i'm gleaning from what you've said earl is that you think any kind of judgement you could have on someone, about anything they might say, always has to be relative to whatever their background is and other circumstantial factors like how well you know them, etc. i've never really gotten into that kind of thinking because i don't really see what good it does. the stakes couldn't be lower than they are right here, and i'm a bit embarrassed now about how effusive i was with the condemnation in the last post i made because of that, it is just a kind of knee jerk reaction i have. but really i don't think there is anything wrong with it, bullshit like inri was posting is stuff that spreads very easily and the internet, and even my almost sterile real life environment, is infested with it. maybe i shouldn't have been so moral_gamer29 about it but that's just me being a bit dickish - not on the wrong side of the issue.

this kind of thing is just one of those things you don't make allowances for, is the way i see it, if i ever hear anyone say anything even kind of racist i call them out on it in real life. family, friends, employers, acquaintances of mine have all said some dumb shit from time to time and i do judge them on it, definitely, but i don't excommunicate them or anything like that (unless it's really stupid and despicable shit like for example the stuff inri has said). i do take it into consideration and make sure they know that i totally object to it, whatever the issue (if i've got a strong opinion on it).

i got the impression from dietcoke and a couple others that inri was being funny, clever or what he was saying was somehow not that bad, and that was what made me go aw fuck that crap. as to how you deal with ignorant shit well i guess you can take that person by person but i think you've always got to make it clear that these attitudes are intolerable and deserve and need to be burned out of existence.

i'm not well read enough to throw any terms around really, but i see the other side of this as being that because someone comes from a privileged situation then they aren't justified in commenting on someone from an underprivileged situation - and it seems like that extends to just about every way a person can be privileged or not  - as opposed to just white/notwhite, rich/poor or whatever - because if you're going to say we can't say what inri is saying is bullshit because, i guess, it's not truly his fault, then when can you ever criticize an ignorant person at all?

like you said, none of these people are right in the head, but that doesn't just immediately get them off the hook. it isn't just about the offending person and what's best for them, it's about who they are saying it to, what effects it might have, where the hell an opinion like seeing black guys executed is funny comes from (come on, that isn't excused on the grounds of 'we're identical white guys so we don't understand').

but even if the stakes couldn't be lower, for me, inri can still unequivocally get fucked saying stuff like that. inri isn't a bumbling innocent here, he's on the internet just like the rest of us and he's gone far beyond just being accidentally ignorant; he actively participates, enjoys and promotes stuff we all think is the worst and it's not anyone's responsibility to keep quiet about that because he might have a gap in his understanding. what's the better thing, tell him how repellent he's being or just let the shit sit in the middle of the room and stink the place up?

the only reason i'm posting about this is because i think it's an interesting topic - not inri, but this idea of what you can really judge and where lines are drawn - and it's something i don't have completely figured out yet. i need to be much smarter because it's a big old issue, but i still feel relatively safe in my approach to this kind of thing, where ever i might see it - and it is a genuine reaction, not just masturbation (maybe the REPUGNANT TURD bit was okay...) - and i don't really see what moral relativity can do to dislodge that feeling at this point.

anyway, i don't think he should be banned, but i don't think anyone deserves to be criticised for telling him off either.

earlchip I don't think anyone is forming negative opinions of you at all! Like even though you and dada are arguing, you're both totally on the side that racism is an abhorrent thing.

The only difference in what either of you is saying is how you DEAL with racists. You're being very positive when it comes to the idea of trying to make people into better people without immediately ostracising them, which is actually a wonderful thing. You're like Voltaire (only not an anti-semite hehe)!

The thing is though that this is pretty much a private club. I know we don't have enough active members to get back to the days of banning people willy-nilly, but like some selection isn't a negative thing. Reading back on Bootstrap Bill's posts I think he was actually a pretty depressed dude with some problems for sure, there's a lot of sadness that actually comes across. It comes down to then how accepting we are as a community of that, or whether it's our responsibility to help that. I overall think that it definitely is and we should be accepting, but there's only a certain amount you can do, especially if negative behaviours caused by whatever conditions that exist are actually morally repugnant (especially if they'd be illegal to say in public or personally to a member of the group being denigrated).

Hopefully the ban will be a sign to the guy that it's not really acceptable in many places to express those kinds of views. Again, this is quite illiberal of me (what happen to free speech!?!), but I genuinely do not feel that people should have the right to make offensive remarks about other people's race, gender, sexuality or physicality. Like tolerating intolerance is illogical (and was actually the GW AXIOM for a short while hehe). I know that you're in no way intolerant yourself, and this wasn't like a DIG about that at all as I'm totally aware that you also try to combat intolerance.

I don't know where I'm going with that last point actually, but no one should be getting TOO upset about this situation. The guy isn't around any more and, even though it's totally admirable that you're fighting his corner for his rights to express himself, it's really not worth getting yourself upset about.

jamie, just reading the first paragraph of your post, you have already posted the strongest argument for banning inri (I read the last line of your post too and agree, unban him!!). I'll read the rest shortly but first
Quote
what i'm gleaning from what you've said earl is that you think any kind of judgement you could have on someone, about anything they might say, always has to be relative to whatever their background is and other circumstantial factors like how well you know them, etc
sorta, bringing up their background is just convenient bc it should give everyone an instant and easily-comprehensible perspective. it's much easier not to judge someone if you know them or understand their background. I can't bring myself to lay off random faceless youtube poster making racist family guy comments, but it's much different with someone I know.

and actually moving on to the rest of your post, I agree with laying into people for saying racist or bigoted shit and judging them for THAT alone, but hopefully not actually changing my opinion of them as a whole, not as an assessment of value

Quote

neither am I, but yeah, that's pretty much what I'm saying. like you can condemn what it is they're saying or doing, but as soon as it comes to thinking they're BENEATH YOU for it, it gets petty and immature. "they shouldn't be racists, they can HELP it!! therefore the subhumans deserve my scorn": this is where the arguments start to become identical to an objectivist's. simultaneously we are human, and this is apparently a natural response to something reprehensible. to expect everyone to be fully understanding all the time is unrealistic, and everything would probably end up being disingenuous and overly dry and serious anyway--but it's important to get the idea, I think, even if you don't ascribe to it 24/7. it's very difficult to make a point like that anyway

man I'm really not covering this half as well as I wish I was. I feel like I can't communicate well at all when limited to one arm

-
yeah, I'm getting it. I see where the ban inri impulse is coming from, but I still think it's a bit shitty! tho if I don't hate inri for all of the stuff he said, I'm definitely not gonna hold banning him against anyone

even if he'd come back and post some unprecedented shit before getting banned again I would see it as a moral victory

edit:
where the hell an opinion like seeing black guys executed is funny comes from (come on, that isn't excused on the grounds of 'we're identical white guys so we don't understand').
yeah I really hated that too. but I think that was kinda 'trolling', turning the introduction of a snuff film as damning evidence back against em by saying something worse than expected. climbtree used to do the same thing all the time, only with much less grim material. if he was being serious though, the guy's got far more serious problems than I thought.

even if he was trolling, fact is that prettymuch any of his posts in this topic would get you banned from most forums. This isn't the first time inri's said something along these lines, and as a community we have to draw a line somewhere. Next week we'll have a topic saying women are inferior? maybe saying the japanese tsunami was god's judgement on pearl harbour?(actually this happens way too much in other places :( ) Say we have someone willing to join this forum, the first topic they see is this. Do you really think they'd want to join after reading inri's posts? Even that most of the other posts are telling him off, the fact is that we're still letting him post hate, is not groovy, and makes it look real bad on us.
If I find someone's a member of the EDL (english racist neo-nazi movement) then I cut all contact with them flat out, it's not that anyone is beneath anyone else, but that certain views are detrimental to society, and that distancing ourselves from such views so that those with them are in a distinct and clear minority is a way of showing disapproval.

This isn't a case of a middleclass white guilt circlejerk, it's a case of people noticing that something is grotesque and saying 'you know what? this is really bad. This is toxic stuff he's posting, and if we let him continue then it will be bad for the community'. Yeah, it's a judgement, just like how we all judge paulies, or ann rand's crazy people, or people who enjoy nickleback. Somethings are acceptable to distance ourselves from, and conscidering the level and anger people used to recieve years ago when posting a final fantasy fangame, the idea that we can allow racism but not sephiroth is really bizarre. We hassle mr big t for his games, yet are meant to allow this? Really?

even if he was trolling, fact is that prettymuch any of his posts in this topic would get you banned from most forums. This isn't the first time inri's said something along these lines, and as a community we have to draw a line somewhere. Next week we'll have a topic saying women are inferior? maybe saying the japanese tsunami was god's judgement on pearl harbour?(actually this happens way too much in other places [img alt​]http://saltw.net/Smileys/saltw/sad.gif[/img] ) Say we have someone willing to join this forum, the first topic they see is this.

And if they did? So what? There are too many people here that are well educated and enlightened to let that shit just run amok unhindered. I think if we don't immediately ostracize and intellectually attack alot of these people more good can be done. I think that by doing that we sink down to their level and thats why alot of people like that never listen and never will. Because when you shoot them down like that they just get defensive and like in inri's case, act alot worse than they actually are (I hope). But like earl said, calling their offensive ideas atrocious and calling them out on it is a good thing but dismissing them as terrible sub-human pieces of shit is no better than what they're doing in the first place. Because we've got more to work with and we should know better than that.
 
And like I was saying, you can cut out what the guy is saying and make him look like a fool without banning him. Dada could have changed every single one of his posts to Dr. Martin Luther King quotes and closed the topic (if he didn't drop it after being warned then ban him), it would have been pretty funny and more than effective.

If I find someone's a member of the EDL (english racist neo-nazi movement) then I cut all contact with them flat out, it's not that anyone is beneath anyone else, but that certain views are detrimental to society, and that distancing ourselves from such views so that those with them are in a distinct and clear minority is a way of showing disapproval.

I think what you don't get is that in this world our views are the minority. So what would we be doing? Distancing our little group from everyone else? Better to turn an enemy than to cut out a potential friend.

ya, it's not you either. you're not operating under some indisputable objective moral code that everyone follows.
thanks for making a list, it would have taken me forever. yeah, all those things annoy or disgust you enough that you think he deserves to be banned.

so what if not me but Vellfire was admin and she decided to ban him? would you be making the exact same accusations? what if Drule banned him? what I'm trying to say is it's too easy to claim I'm just doing this out of personal reasons and dismiss what I'm saying about how this forum shouldn't give legitimacy to this sort of thing.

I personally actually have a pretty big level of tolerance for this sort of thing and even go out of my way to find things I disagree with so I can talk about them. that's usually a good way to deal with these people. but there are exceptions. if someone says he wants all jews to die and that Hitler was right, you're not gonna have a discussion with them. you're not gonna carefully enunciate why that's a bad opinion. it's not worth even responding to.

I'm not saying it was as simple as that in this case, and there was a real discussion about various things at first, but it did end up being a useless back-and-forth with someone who holds some pretty toxic views and wasn't really interested in seriously reconsidering them (nobody ever is). I think the last post he made in direct response to my arguments was something like "you're not even trying" without any explanation.

at some point it's better to stop enabling these people by continuing to try and debate them as if they have a legitimate viewpoint. if someone says something that can be analyzed and rejected, like for example "black people don't get hired as often because there aren't as many good black candidates, not because of latent workplace racism", you can do that, but at some point this ends. and the best way to deal with irrational racism that doesn't even pretend to have a substantive base is to ostracize it, to just stop giving it legitimacy, to not take part in it.

don't call it personal reasons, I don't think you consciously tried to spite him. essentially what you've been saying up to this point has been "but it's RACISM and that's fucking awful and his fault. no one tolerates racists. are you suggesting we tolerate a racist?" this is the first time I've seen a significant focus on any kind of reasoning. maybe it's been buried in there all along idk. and ya I'd argue with velf too? do you think I don't like you? I wouldn't bother arguing with drule tho it'd just be an annoying waste of time

I agree with what you're saying about not giving legitimacy to what they're saying after a certain point, but I don't think banning is the obvious conclusion. when I argued with mince about favelas, I didn't address his racism and instead focused on the actual debatable issues. I didn't get anywhere, but at least it was an actual discussion

you can really handle anything offensive mince says pretty easily with a one-liner, or simply by not being goaded. and I definitely don't think he hurts this community. that's all I can say, if he's still banned, oh well!!

edit
And like I was saying, you can cut out what the guy is saying and make him look like a fool without banning him.

no, but I think you're arguing I did this not because of some broader argument pertaining to what is or isn't an acceptable level of discourse generally, but because I personally don't like the discussion. that's not the case. there are tons of viewpoints I find legitimately disgusting, but only a few particularly egregious ones are worth taking action over for the reasons I outlined.

the reason why I ask you if you'd argue the same thing were it someone else is to point out that this would mean no admin could ever have made this decision lest they be branded  as being personally too involved to make a levelheaded decision out of concern for the forum. you keep falling back to this idea that I'm just abusing my power to limit and restrict everyone to a personal, arbitrary moral code because I don't like seeing certain types of discussions.

I'd love to argue more but I'll be leaving on vacation soon. then again I don't think there's much else that hasn't been said.

i got the impression from dietcoke and a couple others that inri was being funny, clever or what he was saying was somehow not that bad, and that was what made me go aw fuck that crap.

Don't get me wrong, just because I think something's funny doesn't necessarily mean that I think it's clever or I'm down with it or whatever.

I mean IMHO it's pretty hilarious that chimpout came up in a serious discussion about racism because that site is really fucking absurd and I doubt the folks who contribute to that site are entirely earnest in the disgusting shit that gets posted there. for that reason i intentionally avoided the discussion.

I don't want to weigh in on wether or not the guy should be banned or give any sort of positive or negative judgement on the content of what he was saying, just wanted to point out that he was intentionally trying to get your goat.

oh ic. yeah, "you" was never intended to be personal. you just happen to be the guy who can ban/unban. it's not some flaw or caveat of your being I was trying to point out, it's just because until recently you literally gave no explanation for your decision other than "it's racism, it's horrible, naturally we ban horrible people":

Quote
yeah.

it's because I personally found him annoying.

it couldn't POSSIBLY be that he's a completely awful person who calls black people ghetto rats and believes racism doesn't really exist and all that's wrong with minorities can be blamed entirely on their own inherent stupidity. that's just not conceivable. it couldn't be that konix linked to a video of a black guy being executed irl on the racist forums inri says he visits and he said the video was pretty funny. OUTSIDE OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY.

I said to begin with that the only way you could justify banning him is if you could argue he's actually detrimental to the forums, which went disregarded until your second most-recent post.

I still disagree that he's detrimental, but I'm not gonna argue about it any further

the one shit that really sucks about this place is that a mod or admin cant make a fucking move without it causing an uproar. you're allowed to dispute shit and make a complaint. dada heard you, you didn't manage to sway him, case closed. you can't have your cake and eat it too
oh shut up, we were still trying to understand each other. and what's up with characterizing this as an 'uproar'? is this stuff like life and death to you? I know that's how it used to be when we were younger and would would write gigantic walls of text and each party would be perched on the edge of their seat in a cold sweat, eyes locked on the screen as they emphatically pound the enter enter key. I think dada would agree, this is really casual in comparison. I don't think anyone is worked up in the least. we don't really do that stuff anymore.

nyway like i said, you filed your complaint, it didn't sway dada to change his mind, end of story. this back and forth is completely pointless. you're both just saying the same thing over and over now. like it or not, dada is an admin. this is how he wants to run the community. it's his job. if enough people complained or made a strong enough case i'm sure he (or some other staff) would've reversed the decision, but that didn't happen. nobody is forcing you to be here. you don't have to put up with this or drule's shit either. for better or worse they are who own and run the site and this is how they are DOIN THANGS. constantly harping on every minute staff decision is kind of trademark gw thing and it is fucking terrible (i'm certainly no innocent in this regard, but at least i've seen the error of my ways). just let it be. was inri really worth all this trouble?

I think you might have taken me too seriously when I said "yeah, it's because I personally found him annoying" followed by a list of reasons. Those reasons were meant to show it actually wasn't personal. Like those were examples of why he was detrimental to the forum.

I don't think it's unreasonable of earlchip and Farren to suggest being forgiving of people from our community considering that we've all done some questionable things over the years, and that we on top of that are terribly inconsistent in our calling people out on their bad behavior. I'd say that the way we tend to judge people has historically been - and still is - on very personal or subjective terms.

For example, I can name currently active members who are able to get away with making sexist remarks for hours on end and NIGGAS SO BLACK HE CAN STEAL MY TV IN THE DARK-type jokes on IRC without receiving so much as a comment in the presence of some of the people who have been antagonizing Inri in this topic.

While Inri's ban was justified on the basis of being blatantly racist - and racism is not tolerated here, to make that clear - people also need to stop being so fervidly self-righteous about it, make an attempt to see the best in other members, be more consistent in their fighting detrimental ideas and not goad stupid users and trolls into showing their worst sides. Anything else is just going to result in topics like these.

I know right? This topic doesn't even technically qualify as a high school discussion anymore.

Mostly because you couldn't ever get any high-schooler to discuss a single subject for more than two whole pages.
