the term your looking for is prejudice. I dont think you should come in here preaching when you dont even know what your talking about.

no i don't know what you mean...but if you take the time to re-read what i said, i was actually helping you out...what was said was probably wrong, but it was so vague that it really doesnt cross the line IMO. plus this is the Magic board, so it was said to Magic fans by a Magic fan in jest or in the company of brothers. Maybe not right, but thats how it is on all boards here...If you want to point things out, you yourself are guilty of breaking the rules as well, so before you go spouting about you need to take the time to think it trough and take appropriate action...

and when it comes to my knowledge of racism and stereotypes, im as dark as 4am, so i may know a thing or two about the subject...

Good come back game for Hedo. Dwight also beasted as well, good win.

How did Andre Miller put up so much points? Who was in charge of guarding him?

theTHIEF · Post #285 » by **theTHIEF** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 7:06 am

Andre Miller is a REAL PG...we had a 3 man rotation on him with the occasion step out by Dwight and the help by MO...Miller would have been my prime focus for a trade if it were possible...I don't care what anyone says, excellent passer, slasher, finisher and he draws a lot of fouls...oh well, such is life

Hedo was lighting Bosh up in the first game when the giraffe was forced to guard him. Bosh can't stop a perimeter player either.

I'm a Canadian. I seriously hope you get banned for that...

thief, you're a moderator, and you're defending that crap? racism is racism, and it doesn't belong ANYWHERE.

OK I've learned my lesson. Apparently I got my terms mixed up so I should just sit back and watch people insult my country.

what was said was probably wrong, but it was so vague that it really doesnt cross the line IMO.

Really? so what if I said all Americans are lazy fat gun toting rednecks? how would that make you feel? So he's not insulting a certain race.... he's insulting an entire country. How is that any better?

plus this is the Magic board, so it was said to Magic fans by a Magic fan in jest or in the company of brothers.

I'm sorry but I'm not as stupid as I seem. The statement was clearly meant to offend Raptor fans who happen to be canadian.

I don't mean to be a whiner or a troll, but I don't appreciate people insulting me or my country.

Guy's I'm not agianst you but I think we take this stuff to far. The price of living in free societies is you might here something you don't agree with. We had a war one night after a Raptors Magic game , and I think some of us just like to screw with the Canadians. I like thier team but even I like screwing with those guy's. I'm sure I would'nt mind living up there with them. Just as long as I have the american military backing me up if the Russians decide to invade. lol

Stop calling it racism. Canadians are not a race.

Well if you knew anything about Americans you know that we could really care less what people think of us and the things we do. That's why other countries aren't huge fans.....in case you couldn't tell.

You guys on the raps board should really lay off the caffeine and drugs combo, cuz that comment was just plain stupid with a bit of sarcasm thrown around for fun n' games.

How many times America and the US are dissed on your board? When commenting papers, NBA news etc? No raps mod says anything about that so please STFU and GTFO, I don't understand why, just because you're so many on these boards, you can troll other forums whenever you want.

Oh, and before you ask: I'm not even american or a US resident :roll:

i'm not from the raps board (Please Use More Appropriate Word), and I don't wanna see this **** on this board. bigotry is not "fun'n'games".

Anything is fun and games if you see the world the right way, learn to not take everything so seriously pal, otherwise life's gonna be a real bitch for you.

Especially on the interwebz :wink:

EDIT: Oh, and calling someone a "(Please Use More Appropriate Word)" when you're against prejudice is pure gold.

listen, if you're going to be an activist you will need to sharpen your skills...

yes, look at that beautiful quote...clearly an educated man there...

OMG YOU TOTALLY NEGLECTED THIS PART LIKE OMG

what else do you want me to say? it's not right, but there isnt a board around here that doesn't get away with it...I dont have control over the Magic Board, and i'm not stepping on toes...

bballmaniac27 wrote:OK I've learned my lesson. Apparently I got my terms mixed up so I should just sit back and watch people insult my country.

ok, good deal...understood...have you notified a MOD yet like i suggested? NO?!?! what do you mean NO?!?! you are clearly upset by the events, did you want it handled or did you want to continue fighting the war yourself?

bballmaniac27 wrote:Really? so what if I said all Americans are lazy fat gun toting rednecks? how would that make you feel? So he's not insulting a certain race.... he's insulting an entire country. How is that any better?

are you asking me how i seriously feel about this? because im willing to bet you dont want to hear my answer...

bballmaniac27 wrote:I'm sorry but I'm not as stupid as I seem. The statement was clearly meant to offend Raptor fans who happen to be canadian.

I dont know that you were ever perceived as stupid...well if it was clearly aimed at Raptor fans, than it was'nt directly aimed at Canadians, as I'm assuming that not ALL Raptor fans live in Canada or are even Canadian...I will help you out here, the comments I saw weren't aimed at Raptors, but Canadians in general which encompasses Raptors fans of that nation...

as far as my comment, have you seen some of the stuff that has been said on this site? the comments initially made in this thread, to me, aren't that serious...it seemed to be made in a comedic sense, and the comments wouldn't be label "racists" or "prejudice" in my book...maybe i'm more tolerant when it comes to these type of issues...but again, if you have taken offense to anything said on this board, you should contact a MOD like I previously suggested...

bballmaniac27 wrote:I don't mean to be a whiner or a troll, but I don't appreciate people insulting me or my country.

well, have you contacted a Magic board mod about this yet? i understand that you're upset, but this could have been taken care of MOONS ago had that step of been taken...i understand that you are offended and that you are upset, you may have every right to be...proper channels...otherwise, all you are doing is stirring the pot...

and the next time someone wants to call me to the mat, I ask that you please a)read b)comprehended c)respond...there is no use in making argument where there should not be...
