Originally by: ShangoLianja Balogun I am not a Liberal, I am an African, Sparky. "Troll" or not, no one uses rascist rhetoric w/o it at least being, at some form, a part of such person's "character." Rascist rhetoric/slang/et, al, under any circumstances, is what it is: rascist language as a part of rascist behavior (in this case speech).
So, as an "african", you are saying that a large portion of the black community are racist?
Oh yeah, you said "One cannot say whatever one chooses. There are laws, at least in the U.S., against rascist behavior, of which speech qualifies."
You were wrong, I pointed that out. When it comes to racist speech, one can say whatever one chooses and it would be protected under free speech. I cannot threaten your life face to face, however I do have the freedom to call you any racial slur I want.
Apparently I'm not the one who "don't read too well."

Funny.
I have been at many shooting events where the very rare black guy who attends at least has the decency to ask me if I am a klansman or neo skinhead.
I tell him my hood and robe are at the cleaners.
But in the real world, where I am expected to be a racist and in places where people expect there to be racists, you don't really see many of them, if at all.
But the most vile racist crap I ever heard was in EVE chat forums.
Yes, that's true. I have seen things come out of EvE players that I have never heard from from those supposedly white racist southerners.
I am not a bigot. I hate you all equally.

you don't have any right to free speech on privately owned forums or chat rooms.
CCP owns the forum and game, they get to decide what you are, and are not, allowed to say.
There is no 1st amendment on the internet.

Originally by: Wookie 1 I first and foremost apologise for my spelling and grammer in my original post I forgot to check it at the time.
I personally was not bothered by the Racism it just showed what an utter idiot he is, I was surprisingly enough actually just trying to let people know that this had happened as he could actually hurt someone by persistent use of the N word and a simile about faeces. For those of you who think its ok to be racist you clearly have less intelligence than a mollusc. I myself have moved on from this and reported him to CCP since ultimatly they do not tell anyone about the result of their investigations into racist behavior I thought this would be something of caution (since the word punishment does not really cover it correctly) anyway one last thing The American south's insistence on finding something to be proud of in a racially motivated war is rather baffling to outsiders (I.E me as I am English).
Check your history, that war you are refering to wasnt racially motivated. It was started over state's rights, import tariff's and sectionalism. However because slavery is a very emotional subject and the emancipation proclamation was signed after the war was over people mistakenly assume that the war was fought over the issue of slavery. While slavery was one of the motivating issues for the souths secession it was not the only or the main one.
lol, I love this argument, "it was about state's rights." Well, yeah, it was. The particular right was slavery, the sectionalism was slave vs non-slave states, and even the issue with the tariffs; slavery had a hand in it. There were a couple of slave states in the Union, that's why only slaves in confederate states were "freed".

While the most openly racist people you see in the news are most commonly southern, I believe that the racists in the south are in a far greater minority than in just about every other region of the US.
Heck, places that were founded with equality at their cores(Michigan) have become so racist that it's sickening(Detroit, Michigan).
I live in Florida where we have more of a fusion of nothern and southern people. "Bubba" in his pick-up truck is far more likely to bring home an "ethnic" woman to meet his parents than the kid that relocated from Boston is. __________________ Look, a forum alt! |

Yes much truth there. I lived in Florida for 9 years and saw this firsthand.
And having lived in Central Florida and South Florida, the 'bubbas' in central Florida around Orlando were nicer to this Damned catholic Yankee from New York than the people in the so-called open "cosmopolitan", social justice pushing, and tolerant South Florida F.LA area.
What people also fail to realize about the South is that the abolitionist movement was stronger there than in the rest of the US.
Now, here is a little truth, for all those people who think that only the southrons are a bunch of white male racist bigots.
Do you know why the typical northeaster will pay like 300K for a cheezie two bedroom house in the suburbs with no yard or garage?
Ask any one of them in private and you will hear "Because out here there are no <insert your favorite slang for any group>". Yet in the South, were they supposedly burn people on crosses (hey, maybe it's just their version of Burning Man) i lived in a suburn where the houses were under 100K and had a mix of all kinds of people, and low crime too.
The only racism acceptible in this game comes from the game storyline. The Amarr are the biggest racists of them all, those blasted bible-thumping fanatics they are. I think it's ok to call the Caldari what they are (****ionist Socialist).
But as for everybody in the real world, you are all worm food and stealing my air. Just die. All of you.
Then I can have the world supply of rum and pomegranates to myself.

No screen shots or it did not happen. Someone earlier in this thread was talking saying Racism was legal and then went onto say the "n" word if racism was legal why did you not spell out the N word instead of just putting the N word ?

First off, I was the one that said racism was legal, yet no where did I say "the n word"
Second off:

I can drop n-bombs all I want IRL in America. I can't say it on these forums because CCP said I can't.

Edited by: NightHaunt on 24/08/2009 22:32:39 Firstly - I am not going to make a judgement about the alleged incident - to make an informed decision would require an investigation - however I can provide some additional information.
The servers that we ALL play the game on are based in London, UK. The UK has severe laws regards any statement regarded as racist - and such abuse as is alleged to have happened, would if the person who recieved the statement considered it to be racist, be viewed as a hate Crime. This also includes gender orientation, as well as other "minority" groups. If we take the hyperthetical situation that someone made a racist statement - then if that person is an EU citizen they could face extradition to the UK to stand trial - and these offences carry upto a jail sentence. However if that person is outside the EU the police do have powers to arrest said person if they ever visit the UK. CCP is not based in the UK but because the servers are based here in the event that someone does commit a "hate crime" under UK laws they could be held as an accessory to the crime being committed if they take no action. This is because they have provided the "medium" in which the crime has been committed and have taken no action to police the "communication medium" they provide. This is why any such incident should be reported to CCP, to enable them to maintain their legal obligations and who are the only party, other than the UK Police, who are able to investigate such matters.

Yes, I'm sure the UK police are going to work hard to arrest every person who was ever racist on an internet spaceship game as soon as they step into the country.

Originally by: Terminal Insanity If you petition him, im sure the GM's will punish him for it.
However, seriously, who the hell cares. I mean, he's only making himself appear to be ignorant. Its just a word. You know that old saying 'sticks and stones...' well, seriously.... you arnt 5 years old, you should be capable of ignoring people who offend you.
If we ban every offensive phrase, word or action, we will end up in 1984. Racisim is stupid, but so is trying to punish people who are racist. let them be ignorant, dont sink to their level and try to fight them over it.
Adolf ******'s sentiments exactly, just before he tossed some "non-'Aryans' (the fool wasn't even Aryan)" into the "Gasser."
BTW, did you know that rascist language is prohibited under CCP's forum rules of conduct. Post a rascist word here, and let's see what happens (if words are simply to be ignored). I am sure the Devs. want it to be known by patrons/future patrons that they tolerate rascist speech.
Actually, genius, pre-WW2 Germany had hate speech restrictions and they also had mandatory gun registration. And, yes - you ARE a liberal. An ignorant one, but a liberal just the same.

Thank you Night Haunt, I still forget that the servers are in the UK and you guys don't have freedom of speech.
You make very good points.
