Hello!

Accusations of racism and prejudice are tossed around in the political threads like popcorn on a daily basis. So, time to consolidate all that shit into one thread where evidence and accountability can easily be seen.

This is a great opportunity for members to take a stand towards ignorance and hatred displayed on the GB. No matter what side of the political fence you're on, I know you don't tolerate this. Consider this an integrity check. Also, members who are being falsely accused of making racist and / or prejudicial comments can refer to a lack of evidence posted here.

Here's the format and steps:

A. Name the member
B. Link to and post the racist and/or prejudicial comment, as perceived by you
C. Describe what you object to. That member is, of course, encouraged to respond and explain themselves.

If you participate, any part of the format that's ignored means instant failure and means you're trolling. Especially step B.

FAQs:

FAQ #1
Q: Aren't you're just trolling?
A: I'm asking members to take a stand against something. You either do, or you don't. So, no.

FAQ #2
Q: Isn't this like building a blacklist of sorts?
A: Okay. And are you afraid to call people out when they make racist comments? Are you worried about losing a supporter of your political ideals? Fuck you, then. You've got no integrity - but try and spin it all you'd like. :rolleyes:

FAQ #3
Q: Aren't you worried about this becoming a spam thread?
A: It'll say something about the members who chose to spam it.

FAQ #4
Q: Why do you have to keep bringing up the issue of race here?
A: It's a prominent topic on the GB. That's not my doing; that's how discussions go here. Fact. This thread could serve to consolidate some of that discussion.

Okay. Have at it!
 
I'm a bit lazy. can i do it as they come up from new trolls, cause I have most racists on ignore.
 
Good thread, Rory. If this doesn't give the trolls conniption fits, I'll turn in my badge and gun.

i have said racist things before that i don't care to defend or polish. put me on iggy damn it.
 
Will people who do not report racist posts be considered racist by act of omission?
 
one of the worst posters here for making racist posts
edits them all out within minutes of making them,
so there's no way to link the racism that lots of us have seen,
which means i don't get to name this particular poster.

bummer huh?!

That determination cannot be made by non-participation in this thread alone, natch.

But, couple it together with an ongoing fraternization of people who have made racist comments, and a picture comes together...

Minutes aren't seconds.

If they're "one of the worst", they've made lots of them. And someone, at some point, has quoted them. Possibly multiple quotes of the same comment. And the original will show an edit log.

Do we need a second thread to document fellow travelers?

Another question. Can anti-racism be used as a credit for some other anti-social behavior. Could a misogynist get a pass if he turns in a racist?
 
because i'm me.

and i wouldn't be me if i didn't.

Sounds like you felt a need to explain and rationalize why you're not participating in the process. That's what it'll look like to most people.

You could've just not said anything.
