[QUOTE=ItchyBarracuda;21788266]Of course TH89 is going to be overly sensitive to anything that might have racial provocations. He's black. He's quick to label someone a racist if something could in any way be manipulated to be considered racism. Does that make me a racist for stating that too? [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Yep. Racism" - TH89))[/highlight][/QUOTE] [img]http://i.imgur.com/aQ4ez.gif[/img] Good. I think people are trying to push the limits, and go just under the line that will get them banned. Racism really needs to be shown to be intolerable here; it gives us a bad image.

The fuck.

[QUOTE=TH89;21827020]This guy claims hispanics are "the most easily offended group on the planet" and goes on to justify it by claiming that he's had a lot of "experience" with them. That is textbook racism. If you don't believe me then ask some social scientists.[/QUOTE] It's a fucking [I]opinion[/I], he said he [I]feels[/I] from growing up [U]in a Hispanic area[/U] (most likely and most likely from all the Media Attention) much the Hispanics in his Area get offended over stupid bullshit, you'll start to get the perception they are over-sensitive to shit nobody should be sensitive to (I.E. The fucking American flag it self) after a while of living there, does that mean you actually think that way? Fuck no it doesn't, it just means it as if it might as well be true from these stories you hear, and immediately afterward he states this [QUOTE=SgtSgt]Not all are though. There are douches from every race, color, origin.[/QUOTE] Seriously, if you grew up in a Area where one race of people were predominate and you see them on the nightly news every day going about how so and so how despite it being main stream and being around for hundreds of years is now suddenly offensive as if they represent the majority of them, you feel as if they really do represent the majority, does that mean you do? Fuck no, and that why he made that clear by stating [QUOTE=SgtSgt]These people give the Mexicans and other Hispanics that come here to work and have a better life a bad name. [/QUOTE] Key fucking word '[I][U][B]these people[/B][/U][/I]' not '[B][I][U]These Mexicans[/U][/I][/B]' or '[B][I][U]These Hispanics[/U][/I][/B]'(And don't try to cancel this out with the 'Attn: [I]Butthurt Mexicans[/I]' line, you know damn well giving the context he was referring to the ones offended since they said if it wasn't a [I][U][B]Mexican[/B][/U] Holiday[/I] they wouldn't be offended(aka butthurt)), but '[B][I][U]These people[/U][/I][/B] [[I]who go on TV whining about how their race/heritage/nationality makes so and so offensive every fucking night[/I]]' need to just fucking stop since all they are doing it is adding this perception that they represent the majority and that the majority of them are offended and DEMAND that the offenders apology for doing something that nobody should find offensive(it's a fucking national flag in the Nation which it flies). This is the bullshit that fuels racism, simply stating this does not equal Racism, but you doing so just fucking adds to that perception (IE [I]TH89 only banned SgtSgt since he's black thus over sensitive to any thing involving race[/I]), you are just fucking giving the Racist more god damn reasoning to think the way they do ([I]IE Herp derp nobody should be offended by da 'Murrikan flag, but dem H'panics are I tell you what, no real american sould be offended by our god givin' flag, we might as well deport all 'em illegal blownie wetbacks durr[/I]) Ok I'm tired, I need to sleep and I don't feel like revising this anymore to try to avoid somehow getting banned for some bullshit paper-thin reason like Mod Sass or Racism for me saying '[I]brownie wetback[/I]' in my [U][I]example[/I][/U] text or something [editline]04:13AM[/editline] [QUOTE=PrismatexV8;21827584][img]http://i.imgur.com/aQ4ez.gif[/img] Good. I think people are trying to push the limits, and go just under the line that will get them banned. Racism really needs to be shown to be intolerable here; it gives us a bad image.[/QUOTE] And people going on the News Whining and overall Attention Whoring using their Nationality or Race as a platform isn't giving them a bad image? [B]Edit:[/B] [highlight]Do Anyone of you fuckers care to give me a rebuttal or even a fucking response at all or are you cunts just going to ignore this post?[/highlight]

[QUOTE=Luxo;21776194]Political correctness strikes again.[/QUOTE] More like political in-correctness on behalf of the people who sent them kids home.

I don't think its great that the students got send home. But seriously these guys sound like party poopers.

it's quite clear they they wore the shirts to provoke a reaction and they got one. its like me walking up to a guy in a bar and asking him to hit me and when he does start whining that he hit me. dont understand what theyre complaining about

News flash boy, trying to delude yourself will never fix a thing. The world is filled with racists, and the world is filled with prejudice, and don't you even tell me that you are free of any prejudice, because that is a fucking lie. TH89 isn't actually doing a shred of good with his banning of anybody that seems to be racist; there goes free speech, there goes possibilities for discussion. Try to understand the other persons viewpoint before banning them, because that is how the real world runs.

We can't remove racism from the world; why not remove it from FP?

[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;21835410]:geno: There's a difference between "stifling free speech" and simply cleaning up racism.

Nope, it would be better not to live in a false reality.

[QUOTE=deepneau;21835576]Nope, no difference. Face it, you are stifling speech when doing that, a pure, hard, fact.

If people are allowed to make racist statements, flame other posters, etc. the forum loses its civility and turns into 4chan.

But what 89 is doing is definitely not keeping civility, he is just going around banning anyone who says anything minutely like racism.

Shit, I think it's working, even on those who aren't getting banned, such as me.

Shit, I think it's working, even on those who aren't getting banned, such as me.[/QUOTE] Maybe, but then is he doing a bit too much? That is the question. This relates just a tad bit: "Big Brother is Watching"

[QUOTE=deepneau;21835755]-snip[/QUOTE] Before they post it.

What?

[QUOTE=deepneau;21835791]What?[/QUOTE] Your post consisted of -snip. Ideally, snipping wouldn't be necessary since it meant people posted things they wouldn't regret and thought about what they were going to say before they said them.

Well, it was just a placeholder. Look again.

[QUOTE=deepneau;21835755]Maybe, but then is he doing a bit too much? That is the question. This relates just a tad bit: "Big Brother is Watching"[/QUOTE] Moderating is, in essence, not a punishment job, but a prevention job.

[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;21835903]Moderating is, in essence, not a punishment job, but a prevention job.[/QUOTE] Moderating punishes in order to prevent future transgressions. The ends justify the means.

[QUOTE=deepneau;21836018]Moderating punishes in order to prevent future transgressions. The ends justify the means.[/QUOTE] So, TH89's banning people for racism so that fewer people make racist statements in the future.

Yes.

Cinco de Mayo is more celebrated by people in America than Mexico. Mexican people probably don't give a shit at all what they were wearing. If they were they can go fuck themselves. etc.

I think the story is overblown because the kids' families are loudmouths.

this reminds me of the book nothing but the truth except this is bullshit

This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. At least one of them.

[QUOTE=sam6420;21841290]Bring me too? :3:[/QUOTE] That'll be one expensive rocket launch. 1 human is enough, but 2?
