Racist immigration post in 3... 2... 1...

I'll have to disagree. Pointing out racism is NOT "race baiting".

And "race baiting" is a term invented by people who want to deflect.

Preemptively calling people racist before they speak seems awfully similar to shop owners following black teens around their stores.

Your Racist post in 3,2,1...was in a thread about an earthquake in Mexico for fucks sake.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I asked you to look a thread containing racist bullshit.

You looked and said, most of it wasn’t racist.

So is that the past or the present?

Depends on the purpose of the inquiry. If you're looking for clarification on what I'll take issue with, present. If you're looking for me to say, "you're right--that guy said something racist that one time," past.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

@PtldPlatypus any response to this?

I would say the two examples you gave would probably be something I would address if it were brought to my attention. If someone posts something of that nature going forward, feel free to let me know.

@Nate,

It was me who asked @PtldPlatypus to reach out to you in private because I saw your post and didn't have time to talk to you about it. If that has upset, offended, or insulted you that is completely my fault and I apologize.

When it comes to many things in this forum, whether it be insults, race, etc. things will be missed or not agreed upon. It's never going to be fair or perfect, but that's not for a lack of trying. I know it's not mine or ptldplaty's intention to lecture you or say you've done something wrong. We're just asking everyone to stop picking the race scab for a while. We've covered it. We've argued about it. We've gone round and round. Can we please just stop?

He likes to pick tho.

It's why he keeps posting bullshit like:

#wakandaforeverr

He could stop that any time...

I’m not insulted, I just don’t like double standards.

But it seems like picking at this scab has made a little progress. Time will tell.

It was directed at 2 or 3 white posters here.

That's one way to look at it. Another way could be that I preempted a racist comment from ever being made.

Saving the forum from racism one thread at a time. You're welcome.

One can say the only racist post in that threat was the second post

 

[Nate]

It was directed at 2 or 3 white posters here.

My guess on the number was much higher.

Not one person was targeted with that post. Certainly not the Mexicans who had the earthquake "for Fucks sake".

Keep reaching... Or maybe just get off it....

If you're just going to lie what's the point?

Not one person huh?

You just knew that some random Blazer fan would show up and post some racist stuff. Just randomly.

You're right, thanks for saving us all from that.

He certainly wasn’t baiting....

@Nate
From one white guy to another - fucking grow up.

Really helpful.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

I'm just trying to figure out the new rules. It used to be personal insults were off limits. Except for the ridiculous attack the post loophole...


Now vaguely defined race baiting is off limits.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

One could say that slavery was the best thing to ever happen to black people.

Without slavery, there wouldn’t be all these black people in America.

You wouldn’t be born if it wasn’t for slavery, and if you theoretically were, you’d probably be starving, or maybe even a slave.

So, from all the old slave masters, to you; you’re welcome, for your opportunity to live in this great country.

Let’s make America great again!

You'll get banned. Calling all white people lazy for getting slaves to build the country we stole wouldn't have. See ya

They do all the time.

Not sure why you're taking so much offense. You've come to my defense a few times regarding racism in the forum. Guess my interpreter quit on me...

The racist white people were lazy for having slaves build the country. Lazy and evil. Not sure anyone's disputing that but I can see from your postings that you're tryna get me banned...

The abolitionists can't be seen in the same light.

Your post is welcome to kiss my whole arse....

I defend you all the time. Racism is literally the stupidest thing any person that has been exposed to a diverse group can subscribe to. We're all awesome and we're all psychopaths and everything in between.

I don't want to get you banned. Not even close

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Think I might have gotten Nate banned

If you’re fighting the “no racism policy” it might be time to look in the mirror

If you literally don't understand the argument being made maybe it's time to ask someone or keep out of it.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Well - I’m done with Nate. His posts are racist and not insightful. Just meant to inflame. There are others on this site who have very opposing views to mine but are either thoughtful, funny, interesting or amusing. I’ll continue to converse with them.

As far as I can tell he's being sarcastic and trying to point out hypocrisy.

I'm not enough of a hypocrite to pretend I'm not one. Just today I thought of something I do that just falls under "tough shit"

I buy certified humane eggs. I buy meat that was treated humanely before they kill it and I eat it. I'm awesome.

He is monotone - one unamusing point. And he had said enough over the years that I don’t care if it’s sarcasm anymore. Just done. Not going to make a fuss over his posts, he can say as he pleases. I will spend my time reading your posts, Drnny’s Long diatribes, MarAzul’s musings, Dviss’s contemplations, Barfo’s sarcasm and HCP’s bluster.

I'm hurt and insulted that you didn't mention me.

Maybe you're HCP's bluster. Thought maybe Further was more up to date on the lingo being in a somewhat recent relationship.
