I'm torn between dragging this anonymous moron and just being like "lmao nobody tell them" because it's super apparent they have not read this or the misogynoir thread.

like holy poo poo I didn't realize saying "black women should not wait and pine for specific men who clearly do not want them" with a gif would be so polarizing

yikes

I doubt they really think this, it's just TIC style "extrapolate racism out of everything someone says involving race"

So what this can be summed up as is this:
Prisoners are owned by private corporations, and the rich use prisoners to siphon money for their own needs. I thought as much, just figured I'd confirm my suspicions.

Don't forget that the rich have successfully convinced everyone else that they too could one day become rich, so it would be ridiculous to do things like expect them to take less profit and hire people at real wages. No, they would have to pass the costs on to the consumer.

Yeah and you roll back to the base of the problem. The white privilege is that when the conversation becomes uncomfortable the white option to completely disengage from it and live their life out with no penalty exists. Never ever crossing the mind again, an inconvenience lower than ones shoe coming untied on a sunny day.

In a twisted way, at least people dealing angry retorts back out recognize that division exists.

Sometimes they can even make the black people go away if they feel they aren't being sufficiently allowed to ignore the conversation. That's how this thread started.

Chad Coleman is in every goddamn thing. I don't think anyone is gonna flame you for not having seen it but you should go watch it, it's worth the time.

negromancer posted:

YES!

This is why I haven't watched it. Far too many white people like it for me to watch it.

This is certainly an opinion I'd be interested in hearing more about though technically off topic for the thread.

Hi.

I was making a joke.

And yes I know it was rearranged by Foster at the request of Costner.

The reason that white people stealing culture from black people is ironically funny is the same reason any joke whose premise relies on a black person stealing something from a white person isn't funny.

The mods in this forum don't give a gently caress about any type of minority. They've pulled this bullshit with black threads and they're doing the same to queer threads now too. They moved the trans thread to byob and gave us an IK who can only enforce rules inside that thread. Meanwhile any time I wander into GBS I see someone posting a picture of a trans woman and there will be at least ten unpunished responses saying "she's a man". I've PMd FactsAreUseless about this issue a number of times, pointing out that a bunch of cis mods can't possibly understand the coded language that is used to attack trans people and each time he promptly drops the conversation.

SA is never going to change until we actually have mods that represent its minority groups and that's never going to happen because the moderators are a good ole boys club.

Don't forget the rotating threads for making fun of women for being overweight! :smith:

I don't disagree, i just think this is a great overall solution

hell if there was a thread discussing historical and current discrimination facing Asian Americans that went beyond the misogynistic white men steal all our women poo poo you find on reddit I'd probably happily contribute to it

it's more than emblematic of forums issues, it's an issue in the society as a whole and it's not going to be fixed just by snapping your fingers though

the reality is you can either have constant conflict and derails of the threads every few pages in D&D, or actually make progress discussing poo poo you care about in here. it's not fair but that's how it is

This isn't the first time you've brought up the idea of a thread about Asian peoples why not :justpost:

If you want this to be a serious forum for race discussion (rather than, less charitably, a means of getting PoC posters out of d&d proper because some admins and mods find them troublesome and don't want to go through the trouble of culling racists from the ostensibly comedic remainder of the forum), why not allow the people who are interested in race discussion to moderate it the way they know, based on experience, it needs to be moderated?

You profess to be mostly uninterested in the forums' political drama, and want your forum to be chill and on-brand. Having already created a distinct subspace for segregating this kind of discussion, why not leave it to the people who are interested in it, and who have more stake in it?

Well, it's his website. At a guess, he doesn't want to be the guy who made the racist place on his website where white people are second class citizens. Even if that's a completely stupid thing for people to say, they will.

Also we have been satirizing a lot of racism against black people and people are really salty about it because of white fragility and the fact we're on a comedy forum that recognizes neither irony or satire.

Man it's almost like it sucks to be profiled and targeted for something you have no control over? Oh wait nevermind, that's right no one is forcing them to come here and poo poo post.

I have often wondered if there was an opposite, similarly held belief among Muslim soldiers versus Christians.

There's something extra gross about wanting to gently caress over someone's afterlife that you don't even believe in anyway.
