I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color. I'm going to mod Negrotown well. Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change. I think Lowtax did the right thing. Don’t be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn’t do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn’t know what you know today. As it was when I was a D&D mod of Negrotown before, We will continue to be nonviolent with people who are nonviolent with us.

I know a lot of you are disappointed by the new subforum, but remember: There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance next time. A race of people is like an individual man; until it uses its own talent, takes pride in its own history, expresses its own culture, affirms its own selfhood, it can never fulfill itself, and that is why Negrotown exists in the first place.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to the potential of a whole subforum where POC issuses can be discussed without drive-by shitposting.

Only suggestion I have would be about the question about what 'PoC' entails for this subforum. Is it still pretty much just about Black People or about anyone not part of the occasionally changing body of White People?

except it's not segregation because all the posters in here are free to post wherever else they want

this sub forum gives people a safe space to discuss issues important to them with a zero tolerance policy for drive bys, and now nobody has any justification (I'm sure nobody here viewed it as justified before, but now it's very clear) for complaining about being banned if they come in here and break the rules

In the ongoing battle between team "make stuff great again" and team "stuff is already great," make stuff great again claims another victory against all that is good in the world.

Oddly, this "segregation" may make it more difficult for idiots to shitpost about race-related topics. If they do it outside this subforum, it is an off-topic derail. If they do it here, they presumably get probated.

This sub forum had to be created so D+D could be a safe space for racists. Nobody's being forced to post there either.

I don't disagree, but like it or not the greater forums culture disagrees with your opinion of what a racist is. that makes them racist, yes, but there was never going to be anything but constant conflict in those threads. these are racist forums in a racist country, in a racist world, with posts by a racist species. that's life

in this subforum it's very clear what you're getting into, you read the rules at the top, and if you break them there should be zero tolerance. there will always be apologists in the other forums

It is nice to create a spot where people can post about POC issues without the there being a tolerance for shitposting, and it is true people posting here can post anywhere. The problem that persists however is the same problem that appeared when USPOL was dissolved and this and the Missogynoir thread appeared. POC issues are American political issues, and there is no dividing them from each other. People in other politics threads aren't going to stop scapegoating POC's for the election and such, but this subforum existing gives an appearance that it isn't something you can respond to. They get to talk poo poo, but POC and POC friendly poster's will still be banned and probated for responding to it.

That aside, congrats again Koalas March. You have been a very good mod, glad you got it back.

yeah, I get the argument that these are issues people need to be exposed to, they need to be called racist, all that sort of stuff. but not everybody is going to agree with you, if they are willing to be educated they can come in here and listen, and if they aren't they were just going to troll your threads anyways and send them into a derail every 2 pages. at least in here there's no tolerance for that.

most people on these forums posting about POC issues are white anyways, so this isn't some segregated race forum. it's a forum to discuss social justice theory and stuff like that. it could actually be a very productive place if the mods are allowed to rule here with an iron fist

I get this is an american issue, but most people on these forums, including the owner of the forums, including myself, are not as educated as you all on issues of race that POC face on a daily basis and these threads are never ever going to stop being poo poo on if they're in the greater forums.

this could be a very productive sub forum for people who are receptive and willing to learn. nobody else was going to learn anyways even if it was discussed in D&D
