Ok seriously this site is backwards sometimes. 

Post#1 » by VCSupporter » Wed Sep 1, 2010 11:15 pm

Out of every website that I expected to have abunch of racist, immature no life skill kids posting this was the LAST site I would of expected to allow it.

First of all last week I seen someone get perm banned because they said "White people have no clue how to play basketball"
Obviously a joke and not true.. yet the kid still got banned.

Now in the past 2 weeks I've seen a WHOLLLE lot of racism towards black people.
Literally people saying "n_gger" then being like "oh i didnt say the actual word" wow.

Or posting pictures of black people running away from kids, and trying to get some chicken.. all the typical lame jokes that literally arent even close to funny unless your a video game playing virgin.

viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1050020&start=60

That thread is an example. The whole thread is made up of corny sublimal black jokes.
In reality not a single person on this website would ever be racist to a black person for more reason then I can count (cowards, have power behind keyboards, not for confrontation if it isnt over the net, really not racist just desperate for laughs) and it seems like the higher the post counts, the more racist they are on this website.

Ino mods will either lock this or ignore it or try and get me banned.. but really.. I cannot find a single website on the internet that doesn't have half of their members making black jokes all over and the administrators allowing it. And now this website is clearly like that too.
Then watch what would happen if I attempted a white joke thread.... "Banned" and locked instantly.

I don't understand you kids who spend so much time online. You all know you wouldn't be racist in person so, really, why do it online? Do you get some sort of power feeling from it?
I have never in my life been called a **** or anything racist to my face, yet i come online and I cant view more then 5 posts without some sort of racism.

I'm going on a hunger strike if you don't ban someone from that thread I posted. :evil:

(P.S No doubt in my mind the lames with .5 IQ will come and say "U mad? " "stfu" "Leave then")

Nobody is really racist on this site. Seriously, the NBA is like 95% black. Its hard to be a racist and follow the league. Some of the replies were stupid, but its the culture of the board. The thread about the video of the girl throwing puppies had replies about her throwing arm. The crime thread had jokes about murder. If you take the replies literally, youre bound to get upset. I didnt post in the Raccoon thread because It isnt my thing.

Youre probably going to get an STFU and GTFO so yeah...



Exactly my point.
90% of these kids aren't racist (or atleast cant be if thye love basketball)

yet they STILL use black jokes.
As a black man that shi t is FAR from funny when you think about the pathetic little kids who are dishing the jokes.
If I insulted the white race with every post ino for a FACT I would of been banned months ago.

Plus look at the last mod post in that thread.. what's he say / do about the problem?
"You are all over sensitive" Really?? So who was over sensitive when that guy got banned for a lame / single white joke?

Do you not see how backwards it is?

So because kids "arent really racist" it's ok to make racist jokes?
Really?

The internet has gotta be the most ignorant place for free speech ever, lol.

You are absolutely right. The mods are doing a horrible job. Using coon as part of a joke is not a joke. It's racist plain and simple.

Yea yea ino it's a joke and all that.

But the sad part is half of you probably really do live with a racist family and have parents who say "n igger" freely and are teaching your young siblings to grow up ignorant and disgusting and make you guys think it's ok which eventually leads to you getting hurt by a black person then the news reporting it as "A Racist attack agaisnt a white man" . Ive seen families / situations like that commonly all over America and canada and even MORE in the UK


We can't stop that
But when you come onto this website or others, you should be able to stop that.

While I'm not apologizing for anyone's insensitive jokes, I have to wonder if that's the first time you've ventured onto the OT board. They live off of pushing boundaries. I made a joke about teenage girls being into vampires these days, and someone countered with teenage girls being into the "Dolmio Grin", just for example (look it up if you don't know what it means).

I doubt that makes you feel any better, but it makes the OT board a notoriously difficult place to mod...it is, after all, the only non-specified topic board on a sports forum, which means you have people in there literally to do nothing else but f*** around, and most of them know each other really well and even went on a trip together in Vegas and such, so boundaries are nearly non-existent.

So the mods are useless then? I mean all they got to do is press the lock button. I really don't a **** about the off topic board but some of those replies in that raccoon thread made me sick. I don't see any of that **** slide on the general board.

I'll admit I didnt even think twice when seeing that post, was use to every post before it being a black joke and people protecting the ones making the jokes

You are right , alot of people do need sensitivity training.
At home, at the age of 1 . Then their parents need it, and their ancestors.

I really dont understand how racism is even a joke /factor to people in 2010.

Thats why it's usually (not to sound typical) but the cooped up ones who are at home in basements all day who really don't go out much seem to be the ones who will laugh their ass off at the sign of making fun of a black person.

Seriously dude, dont get your panties all in a bunch over it. Some jokes are taken as jokes where some posters with histories etc get taken more seriously.

The internet is serious business. I'll have to inform the two black people I live with that I apparently despise them.

But they aren't strangers. He has the right to be offended but going off and posting a diatribe is not the way to deal with it. You report the post, and if the mods do not meet your expectations you can contact an admin. This should be done AFTER reporting a post. I didn't read that thread since the first page. We don't read every post, we rely on reports.

Seriously though - if you can't stand the insensitive jokes, off topic Australians, Slovenians and Canadians or food. Stay off the OTB.
