Historically Correct. Politically Incorrect.

Absane I believe that picture qualifies as racism.

Is racism tolerated on Sciforums?

What's racist about it? No where does it mention that blacks are genetically inferior to whites.

By the mods or the members?

Its Implied.

But if you're posting it for comedic/ironic purposes....

 

Absane, Which neo-nazi's trashbin did you scower to find it.

 

I remember seeing it on another forum and thought it was funny. I even have black friends that find it hilarious.

But that's only because they are secure with themselves.

 

How so? What if it's an Asian selling that? Or a Nepali?

 

The picture... Seriously, It's a generalisation, Like I said, I found it funny.. But you can see where the racism comes from.

 

I wonder if there is a:

 

Stryder, as a moderator people look up to your behavior and your replies. Your reply here suggests that it is indeed appropriate to curse and exhibit racist tendencies. Is this the kind of thing you want members to remember you with and follow you as?

 

This is really an abomination for SciForums, to allow such crap like this to be posted here shows disrespect to many people.

 

I don't get the joke or hilarity behind blackface. Never have.

 

Absane in order for it to be of interest for discussion it has to have some context around it. All you did is post the picture and said 'hehe. Thought it was funny'.

What were you hoping we would discuss?

 

I think some vital part of the context is missing even for the joke. It seems incomplete.

 

Draqon. You really didn't get it did you, it's a form of satire to express that the initial posting of something that would most likely offend people shouldn't be allowed, it's also to express that one racial viewpoint has most likely the complete opposite and equally rude viewpoint. (in this regards my satirical response).

I doubt anyone here on this forum looks to me as a role model, I wouldn't suggest that there is any reason to be assumed to be one either. For the most part I do try to keep my use of profanity low however recently I guess you could say some people have got even me rising to the occasion... Unfortunately it rubbed off on my satirical post.

 

I <3 when people waste words.

 

But do you get it? I didn't. It was just this black face ad, it was like so what, racist yes but what's the point. Did he have a point?

 

Oh, I meant Stryder trying to explain logic to Draq. It's like teaching a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

I didn't get it.

 

But really... we should all know (as do I) that we aren't going to change anyone's mind on a forum. We're all here to stroke our own egos.

I understood exactly what Stryder meant.

 

In this case, I don't think annoyed covers it. For Draqon, It would be like getting the pig to stare at you blankly, and then proceed to roll over in filth happily. Completely naive and ignorant.

Otherwise, Well said.
