This is probably in the wrong place but: I was just posting this here to tell others of racist abuse which was thrown at me in local by a member of Goonswarm called Sworn Absent I reported him for racism but thought I would just post this to see what the Goons have done to discapline him (probably bugger all but hey)

People like you are why racist comments are used so* much. If it didn't butthurt you so easily, it wouldn't be used.

Racist beliefs are the bottom of the barrel in human thought, but so what? Grow a spine and some thicker skin. Report him or shrug it off and move on with your life. It wouldn't kill you to learn to spell and punctuate properly either. _________________________________________________

i personally hate all caldari with a passion from the days of achuraaaa!!!! and im guessing alot of the goons that started as the goon noob blob are caldari.
so by extension im racist towards both caldari and goons
damn caloons
very fast edit, caloons looks bad without the l, even worse without the a too :S

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Goonswarm strives to be an all-inclusive environment, and players like this are not tolerated within our ranks.
However, given the number of maliciously false reports of this nature that we get, I must ask for a 200m deposit. Once the investigation is concluded, and the result is as you say it is, then we will return the deposit.
Thanks you, and have a wonderful day!

One cannot say whatever one chooses. There are laws, at least in the U.S., against rascist behavior, of which speech qualifies.
The normal response by me would be to knock the taste out of the rascist's mouth; but, most rascists are cowards anyway. Therefore, a form of legally sanctioned action should be brought forth to address the matter (once confirmed).
Allowing this to happen will increase, not DECREASE, its use.

Real world rascist beliefs have no place ingame, at least if we players are to remain civil (regarding out-of-game speech used ingame/on the forums). Minmatar and Ammarr "hatred" is fictitious. These "peoples" do not exist, even if having been patterned on actual groups.
Calling me a Minmatar Slave will not gain the same response from me as calling me the "N" word.
And I'll ignore such nonesense when we stop being human. As long as I am allowed to (use a reverse punch to) knock the teeth out of the mouth of the clown saying it, you can tell me I should ignore it.
Allowing this to happen will increase, not DECREASE, its use.
You're wrong, thank you, come again.
There is no law against a person being a racist. There is no law against someone using racist words, there ARE laws against race being used as a basis of employment/education/etc.
If as one person to another I call you a slur, there is absolutely no legal recourse that you can take.
Racist comments and beliefs are protected under the 1st Amendment. K.K.K, Black Panthers, etc are proof enough of this.
And here's a newsflash my little liberal friend, most of the "racists" you see online are not racist. They simply like to use words that they know will ignite a response. They are trolls, nothing more.
Oh, and using physical force against someone because of the words they say? Now that is petty and a clear indication of a lack of intelligence. Grow a vocab and fight words with words. 
Also wanted to add: Did you know there is currently a professional sports team that's name was an incredibly offensive slur only a couple centuries ago? Do you know why that word is no longer offensive? Because the people stopped being so butthurt by its use, and started being proud of it.
tl;dr racism isn't illegal, stop being a pansy.

"Fight with words"? The plea of a wuss. People who think by the inch and talk by the yard by all means deserve to be kicked by the foot. Freedom of speech only means the government can't do anything about what you say. Us normal people can do anything we want. 
Is it worth spending the night in jail and paying $250 just for allowing a racist tard the opportunity to gaze into your fist? I would say the worth is proportional to how many people are watching.
On the other hand, you can't smack people over the internet. I'd say get over it - petition if you want, doesn't matter.

To some of us Senator's is still a bad word, but I digress and should leave the criminals to their 'straight job'.

Yup. The silly thing is that xenophobia always had a strong evolutionary purpose and it's part of our genetically anchored behavior. It governs the natural selection between groups. A.k.a. tribes / races / nations / sport clubs / ingame corporations :P
Too bad a lot of people aren't aware of where xenophobic sentiments come from and that it doesn't really fit in our modern global society. Same with knocking down nice looking females on the street with wooden clubs and dragging them inside. You just shouldn't go there :)

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.

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).

Apparently, you don't read so well. I think I mentioned rascist behavior as restricted by (certain) U.S. Laws. I know I posted that because I was present when I did it (you should grow a brain first).
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 persons "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).
I am in the northern corridor of the U.S. because my maturnal grandfather and kin ( blessings to these Ancestors) took care of some rascists the good ol' fashioned way. I carry that glorious lineage w/in me, but will allow the "Laws" to do that for which they were constructed.

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.

This made me lol a little since the lack of response kinda showed that not to many from the deep south have participated in this conversation. You tell most southerners you're from texas, and they'll ask you how life is way out west.
I grant it was part of the confederacy and all... but tbh, texas isn't usually thought of as part of the south... maybe that's why they coined the term "deep south" :) keeps it exclusive.

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.

No, if it involves a stereotype based on race, i.e., white people are racist, then it is racism. But racism is a sub-category of bigotry. This I think we can agree on. _________________________________________________

On another MMO i played i had 2 black americans in my team..
Just like the rest of us they logged in and said hi,hello,yo and so on.. But when both was online the "wassup my N*****" came after the first hello..No one had a problem with that..They were real life mates and talked that way to each other..
But they went totally crazy when one guy logged in and said yo wassup my ******s to them..Cause he was a white boy..
He didnt mean anything with it, he was just trying to be "cool" like them.. I told them afterwards that as long as you guys keep calling each other ******s and we hear it often on tv and in music some people like him with a little shorter social antenna than most will think that using the N word towards you is ok..Also without thinking that it is a word with a ugly history behind it..
I think you were unlucky and met one of those guys..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"ISM's" are a red herring.
Smart people know that there will always be an "Us" vs "Them" regardless of if its Athens vs Spartans, Greeks vs Persians, Romans vs Celts, right down to the modern era.
 Now the smart people usually get the stupid people to do the fighting for them. It helps clean the gene pool and frankly, leading the ignorant of this planet is downright easy (Just listen to Beck, Hannity or Limbaugh to see how stupid people are!)
The eternally stupid are easily controlled through trigger words. The trick is to guess the correct trigger word to elicit the most violent response. Fortunately, the stupid are subject to many irrational phobias and most trigger words work for them with little effort.
Frankly, I regard a person's intelligence in inverse proportion to their acceptance of hate speech. Smart people don't call names or waste their lives talking about hatred.
 Its all a matter of how afraid we are of each other. Those of us who harbor many racial hatred thoughts are burdened by them and because their minds are filled with these evil thoughts, they miss out on the beauty of the world.
Frankly, I like like what Rabbi Jesus said: "Judge not, lest ye be judged." but Buddha and Confucius said virtually the same thing, much earlier.
 A tolerant spirit is its own reward. DEVS! Please a small color indicator upon jump gate icon that shows color of the system security rating of the destination system in the overview and in the HUD view. Little Fistter |

Wrong. The Civil War was entirely about slavery, and the myth that it wasn't was only invented and propagated after the war was over. To believe said myth, you have to be willing to ignore the documents all of the Southern states' legislatures published upon their secession, all of which identify slavery by name as the reason for their leaving, as well as a couple rather key speeches made by confederate government leaders which affirm same. While the rest of us "check our history", I suggest you stop watching Ted Turner movies about old bearded southern gentleman generals who were best buddies with their slaves.
But this has nothing to do with EVE. What were we supposed to be talking about again?

Wrong. The Civil War was entirely about slavery, and the myth that it wasn't was only invented and propagated after the war was over. To believe said myth, you have to be willing to ignore the documents all of the Southern states' legislatures published upon their secession, all of which identify slavery by name as the reason for their leaving, as well as a couple rather key speeches made by confederate government leaders which affirm same. While the rest of us "check our history", I suggest you stop watching Ted Turner movies about old bearded southern gentleman generals who were best buddies with their slaves.
But this has nothing to do with EVE. What were we supposed to be talking about again?
This is right. In fact, what's really great is that right up until VERY shortly before they broke away, they fought against states rights - wanting to crush northern states' rights to not turn over fugitive slaves, bare slavery, etc. Only when that started to come apart did they go truly pro states' rights. States' rights had little to do with the US civil war. Slavery and tariffs were the big issues.
Although again, this is a derail.

The last northern state to abolish slavery was New Jersey the laws of that state retained slaves over a certain age as "apprentices for life" until the 13th Amendment in 1865, which in fact proved to be the actual end of slavery in New Jersey. I only post this in the hope of showing to BOTH sides in this argument that the civil war was a LOT more complicated than "slavery or NOT". Mel and Lania are both really right, the war was mostly about the federal governments RIGHT to impose Laws across the whole Union. HOWEVER the very very specific reason for the succession of the southern states was the breakdown of the acceptance into the union of states in Pairs (One free one Slave state) They went so far as to make California send one Pro-slave senator to balance that states "free" Nature. Then the Turnaround of Kansas from a slave state to a Free state put the balance totally out of whack. And the Slave states seeing a very real threat to their way of life, seceded from the union.
That is, Although Anti Slavery Legislation wasnÆt the reason for the succession, the inevitability of such legislation was.

Edited by: Sabrina Al''Kian on 26/08/2009 21:55:19 I feel inclined to correct a fallacy here.
Depending on the state, it's actually not allowed to use overtly racist speech. Though somewhat recent, the laws of at least Connecticut (and I believe a few other states) make it an arrestable offense to use "Hate Speech/Fighting Words". Essentially, any words spoken with the intention of eliciting violence/violent emotions are, in fact, against the law.
You have to remember that states have the right to impose higher restrictions on their populace. They cannot grant freedoms from Federal Law, but they can remove them under State Law.
So your comment about Free Speech granting you the right to racism is, depending on where you're from, fallacious.

Constitutional law trumps any other law of the nation, and no law can be made that takes it away (which is why so many gun laws are getting repealed, 2a forever!). The right to free speech may not be removed under any circumstance. Constitutional law > Federal > State > Local. That's how the BS flows.
Also what you're thinking of is assault. And yes, in some places assault by itself may be an arrestable offense (in most, afaik, its only an arrestable offense if followed by battery.. hence being charged with assault & battery).
However, it is perfectly legal to say 'i hope you die you dirty ethnic slur'. It is not legal to say 'i'm going to beat you to a pulp' that is assault. adding an ethnic slur, depending on local laws, then makes it a hate crime.
of course, if you say 'i hope you die you dirty slur', and they're found dead the next day.. well, that makes you a prime suspect, with a racist motive. sucks to be you! Sig removed for discussing moderation. Zymurgist

The federal government only has the 19 powers enumerated to it by the constitution, the same constitution which relegates any and all remaining (unwritten) rights to the states and then to the people. It does not include the right to force the sovereign states to remain part of the union which they joined voluntarily, although it is certainly in their best interest to.

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.
Wrong again. My culture is African, specifically Songye/Mongo (Seko Silibanda/Nyanga Ya Libanda!)and conservatively so. Your Western social concept does not apply to me.
And the great Adolf was allowed to utter what, in pre-WW2 Germany?
Rascist speech has no place ingame or on the forums. Let's test it out. Reply to me here that I am a...(racial slur of your choice), and let's see how it goes. As a matter of fact, alert the Devs. when you are in some Local chat and that you intend on saying a racial slur, and let's see what happens.

CCP doesnt care about american speech laws they are in iceland which has a far stricter hate speech law. Call someone an n word in iceland you are going to jail for up to 2 years.
Also first amendment isnt binding on private institutions like CCP which are free to set whatever speech standards they like but since they are based in iceland they are bound by icelandic law.
Im not holding my breath on the icelandic government doing anything unless some icelandic eve player complained.

The question is really: am I going to get extradited for something I say on an internet spaceship game. The answer: almost certainly not, unless I'm making a irl threat with a lot of specific details. If you live in whatever-the-hell jurisdiction the Eve server is in, maybe you have to worry more. But I doubt it. Gov'ts and police forces tend not to want to put resources into controlling speech in a video game.

Yeah, I'm quoting myself. What what.
An incredibly tiny bit of research later, and I found that most extradition treaties (especially those between the US and European countries) require "double criminality": the notion that to extradite someone, the act must be criminal in both countries. As hate speech is generally protected under the US first amendment, this means that if I (in the US) call you all sorts of racial slurs, and you press charges in the UK (where the servers are based), the US would refuse to extradite me. Or wherever you press charges.
Not that any speech is protected of course; there is a line that can be crossed, and then the US would happily toss me out.
There is actual case law baking this up, see this article for some minor insight: http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=193 although I'm sure there are better sources.
So actually, CCP (more accurately, Iceland or the UK) does have to care about the US's 1st amendment: if I'm in the US, it does effect their ability to get me extradited. So, CCP can ban me from the game for using such hate language, but they can't get me imprisoned overseas for it.
Haha, I love the first amendment.

Originally by: Zed Jackelope Edited by: Zed Jackelope on 22/08/2009 18:35:46 Why are you so butthurt by someone's supposed prejudicial beliefs?
People like you are why racist comments are used so* much. If it didn't butthurt you so easily, it wouldn't be used.
tl;dr get over it
One cannot say whatever one chooses. There are laws, at least in the U.S., against rascist behavior, of which speech qualifies.
The normal response by me would be to knock the taste out of the rascist's mouth; but, most rascists are cowards anyway. Therefore, a form of legally sanctioned action should be brought forth to address the matter (once confirmed).
Real world rascist beliefs have no place ingame, at least if we players are to remain civil (regarding out-of-game speech used ingame/on the forums). Minmatar and Ammarr "hatred" is fictitious. These "peoples" do not exist, even if having been patterned on actual groups.
Calling me a Minmatar Slave will not gain the same response from me as calling me the "N" word.
And I'll ignore such nonesense when we stop being human. As long as I am allowed to (use a reverse punch to) knock the teeth out of the mouth of the clown saying it, you can tell me I should ignore it.
Allowing this to happen will increase, not DECREASE, its use.

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).

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.
Wrong again. My culture is African, specifically Songye/Mongo (Seko Silibanda/Nyanga Ya Libanda!)and conservatively so. Your Western social concept does not apply to me.
And the great Adolf was allowed to utter what, in pre-WW2 Germany?
Rascist speech has no place ingame or on the forums. Let's test it out. Reply to me here that I am a...(racial slur of your choice), and let's see how it goes. As a matter of fact, alert the Devs. when you are in some Local chat and that you intend on saying a racial slur, and let's see what happens.
WTF?
I have ZERO interest in what race you are dude and nice that you infer you know what mine is. Get over yourself.

Originally by: Jones Bones Ignorance breeds fear. The root of racism tends to be ignorance and fear.
This is a common misconception. Modern racism has its roots in the Enlightenment, within the idea that a just God places souls in the bodies he chooses. A handicapped person or person from a more savage culture bears those burdens as a consequence of Divine Providence. This idea combines with Empiricism to produce modern racism, which is a set of ideas taught and learned, not a random product of ignorance. One can attribute racism to error, but to attribute it to ignorance avoids confronting the ideas behind it.
Slavery on the other hand, is much older and has its roots in mercy. Rather than put a defeated people to death, its women and children were spared, to live useful lives. Like perpetual children or other chattel, slaves are slaves because they aren't really competent to manage themselves. The notion that ALL people want to be free is the product of an undue regard for the idea of Equality, and clearly contrary to many examples of people who seem eager to enslave themselves to debt, drugs, or the myriad other aspects of [life] that can diminish freedom. Your Boss might not oversee your work from a horse, with whip in hand, but that doesn't stop many from being as financially bound and dependent on their employers as securely as slaves physically bound by chains.
Neither freedom nor equality are absolute. Neither possess a permanent place atop a reasonable hierarchy of virtues. Finding something greater than oneself to serve has marked many great lives. |

This thread has gone a long way to explaining why Dr Dre can say the N-word all he wants on his albums but when I used it as my sons under 12 A team football match I was asked to leave.

Edited by: Ibalz on 25/09/2009 11:49:47 The sad thing really is that people still fail to see the problem with it in the first place.
If you have to be racist understand it may be your view but generally it's something most people find abhorrent. Which therefore is something we really aren't intrested in hearing.

Can we please lock this thread?
First, the OP is clearly OT. Second, the OP and numerous subsequent posts are spreading bigotry AGAINST racists. The way to solve racism is not through hating racists. Fighting bigotry with bigotry is like fighting fire with fire. The fire will only grow hotter and nothing will get done.
Thanks CCP admins. Wookie 1 should hang his head in shame and start a new char so he doesn't have to show his shameful face in eve ever again.

Racism is a point of view. I have certain "views" on a certain ethnic group. My views are valid views I haven't always held. They have been brought about by changes in my country's laws and priorities that allow the native people of my country to be victims of this ethnic minority, Now this ethnic minority literally get away with murder so as not to incite violence and to give the impression we are a just and tolerant nation. One day this country is going to burn.

Look up "back fire" and "back burning"; fighting fire with fire is a perfectly acceptable practice. ♥

No, it is all about us. Sometimes the rest of the world just gets uppity for a little while before settling down again and remembering who's their master.
