Haha what are you gonna fly a plane in my house? And besides, I was just using harsh words that I dont mean but I know people are gonna be sensitive too. It's about using strategy in ur insults, I knew it was gonna piss him off but obviously u caught some feelings too, LMAO. And we're not on the same team, if anything u are the polar oppsite and a fuckin prick as well just for the other side.
MidoriHaze:
As much as i don't agree with half the bullshit he says, I don't see what it would achieve by banning him.
Racism occurs worldwide, at least by having his ignorant comments around it gives ya more insight into their ill-directed ideologies and how to handle it when it occurs. Ya can't just go round laying into every racist, it would probably make ya feel better, but violence would only just fuel their racism.
Culture acceptance is a learnt process

I don't know the situation so I can't really vote on it, so I won't, however racism is one of the things that I find intolerable. You can talk about being tolerant of other's beliefs, and whatnot, but you know...if me not tolerating a racist makes me a hypocrite or whatever, fine...guilty.
I mean, there's a guy on this board (who I don't remember his username) who used to frequent another board that I am a moderator for, who talks up all the west coast hip hop, and how Ice Cube and Daz are awesome and whatnot, and then he starts emailing me all this racist stuff about shaquille O'Neal, because he's a huge Laker Homer. Starts spamming racist slurs against Shaq to my email because he got banned from the site for being abusive.
That's just an example to set up what I'm about to say.
How can someone who is a fan of black culture, as someone would clearly be if they are members of a hip hop board, and taking part in discussions on black culture, spout racist speech and whatnot, against black people? I brought that up to this guy, and he just doesn't see it, I don't think. I don't think he believes he's racist because "I'm not racist...I'm just playing around"
In my opinion, that's not a playing around type of word that he's throwing out, and if this guy said the stuff about the western civilization (whites) being superior to africa and asia and whatnot (blacks, asians, etc), then you know...I got no tolerance for him, and really would not wanna have anything to do with him.
However, you know...free speech and all that. But this is a private board, as far as I know, you have to sign up to be a member, so I don't think Free Speech applies. I could be wrong, though.

You're free to make your own conclusions, but if we accept the dictionary definition of racism then it seems pretty clear CWalker is racist, or at least his statement was. According to the dictionary their is a cultural dimension to race, but regardless his words were African, Asian, or Indiginous cultures are inferior. Let's not play word games, its basically the same as saying African, Asian, or Native people are inferior.
If you don't think that's racism I dont really care. To me its just a bit ironic that a hip-hop message board tolerates racism, but to each his own.
