Orion, are you like Flex's parrot since you joined SP? Hoax, you tea nanny, why do you think Spook has that nick? He's one of the racists I was talking about! Appa, you pretended to be black, 'nuff said.

This is also what I meant though, when I ask people (lets just say ingame) why theyre being racist the response is "bc u a bitch", I didn't know racism directed to a bitch was a good justification. I'm not asking it to stop anyway, Apparition, I've made it quite clear that I just want to understand. You seem like someone who would be affected by an "online community" thinking you're a bitch, guess what? I don't.

And I don't even see what this has to do with the topic.

Believe it or not this episode of South Park has some pretty good insight on the 'N' word. If you have time, watch from 13:30 to the end.

Ok Liz, look at a different situation.

You've got a man who's a total egalitarian, believes women should have the same rights as anybody else.

His girlfriend dumps him, and a week later sleeps with another dude, coincidentally the same night he sleeps with another women.

His response? "You're such a slut."

Explain. :) (I have my own explanation, but I want to see yours first)

What do you want me to explain?

I don't believe in equality. :P

So, do you think the girl in that situation was a slut, and the boy was just a boy?

Hmm, there is a racist joke in there somewhere, but I'm not bright enough to think of it, let alone deliver it.
Hah ^^ Now I'm wondering why spook has that nick :lol:
He is a racist. If I remember correctly from when we used to speak to each other on teamspeak/ventrilo, he claims it was because of how he was brought up.

I doubt it is limited to sympathy and advantages. -=}ID< Clover used to tell people he was female; it was long before he tried to get into ID so I don't believe it was to get in a clan, but I could be wrong. I would assume it was just for attention; especially considering how the female gamers (except envy) seem to get special attention from a number of players.

Fixed.

P.S.

Nice ignorant, misinformed generalization.
"You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one;
I hope some day you will join us, and the world can live as one"


“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

I believe that to truly love is the ultimate expression of the will to live.

Your example is really stupid and irrelevant but you're right, black people can be racist too. I just feel less offended by it because I don't struggle in society because I'm white and apparently its seen as superior.

lol, this topic is very much alive anyway still, I was in the ID server last night or a few nights ago I think and some ID/v/random people were calling mecca (behind his back) a black asshole and something n#$@#%, I said something that sounded like I defended him and someone says "liz loves black dick". :D

Almost amusing.
