Culled you? Gee, that's pretty harsh for a traffic infringement!

What i mean just remove me from that place for a second check up to see if i "didn't drink to much" or some other bullshit thing they can come up with just to remove you out of that place and hold you up for a few hours at there station.

Wouldn't be the first time, last time i had a friend of mine pulling up a big mouth to a cop that wanted to check the lights of the car for whatever reason, 6 hours later they where still busy checking stuff on bullshit charges just to make your life misserable. Now if i would be black it would be clearly racisme. Sadly i am as native as it gets so i just shrug it off and say, pannekoek ( don't do this by the way, got me culled once also )

 

[Dick Jones]

This whiny claptrap misses the point. You attempted to draw an equivalency where none existed, became antagonistic towards a mod, and dared them to ban you. All because you couldn't stomach seeing a black woman not get banned for describing how she was on the receiving end of a racist comment from a white customer. What did you think would happen?

The racist comment said to the mod is awful, its the throwaway line of saying it to her "white pharmacist" is weird. So someone who was not there when it was said asking was someone joking when told is referred to as white, and that's not racist? Would the story be any different if it was said to her pharmacist? Another thing bugging me is the word pharmacist. Anyone working doesnt call their manager by their position. Was it general chit chat to her pharmacist and not relating to her employment? Did she even tell her manager?

 

[CaptainVanHelsing]

Is this the new account of the former mod, who deleted his, because of EGS drama?

For context, this is the original thread (it was later reposted witha different name)

I guess this thread confirms my previous post. Account registered on Friday, can already post threads (another thread). It's either BronsonLee or 2Bee.

Rules for the mods and rules for the rest of their members. That's the Era way. And calling them out gets you a ban. Classic.

I wonder how many users were offended by that question to get that ban...

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

That statement alone, offended enough users to result in a ban.

Pretty puny excuse for a ban if you ask me.

I bet lots of users there are offended by the mod's complete lack of logic or fairness. They wish being offended was enough to get rid of some asshole moderators.

Even a billionaire like Oprah was treated like a common criminal because of her race when shopping in Switzerland. She has more money than just about every woman on the planet, yet these shopkeepers refused to sell her one of their items because she looked like she couldn't afford it.

Millionaire athletes who happen to be black are pulled over at gunpoint and suspected of stealing the luxury vehicles they're driving.

Renowned academics at Harvard are escorted out of their own homes after being accused by neighbors of burglarizing the property.

That's prejudice dude, not oppression. Oprah would just have to flash her cash to be treated like a queen, and she could probably have a clerk or two fired if she so desired. A person truly oppressed by systematic racism would be denied service in spite of their wealth, just because of skin color.

Millionaire athletes may be subject to prejudice from time to time. They're still rich as fuck, and they are an inspiration for millions of people of all colors. Can you say they're oppressed? Cuz you'd be lyin', ya know.

One friend of my father is slightly dark-skinned with jet-black hair, and years ago he used to wear a ponytail. He was pulled over by the police a number of times because he looked like the stereotypical South American drug dealer. Was he oppressed? No dude, he just had to go through these minor inconveniences. He was still wealthy, and never went to jail.

Conflating prejudice with oppression is a victim's trick. Be better than that.

Wouldn't be surprised when you compare their posts to the usual diatribes mods post, era-ly similar.

 

[Ionian]

Actually it was a forum game. You had to reply in the thread with a certain line, and out of all those who replied half of them got "snapped" (one month ban, which could be rescinded and then they got the tag coward) and the other half had to do stupid (Weekly) shit to try to save those that were snapped.

Im depressed that I even know this.

Ah, my mistake.

Only half of those who posted in this thread are still unbanned... (Can you defeat Thanos and avenge the Fallen? check highlights for Final Challenge)

Listen, it’s a simple calculus. This universe is finite. Its resources, finite. If life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist. It needs correction. As such, if you choose to participate in this thread, there is a 50/50 chance you will be banned until the release of Avengers Endgame on...

Confused it with the avatar thread, whoops. Nice to see B-Dubs stuck to the rules of that competition as well.

Lack men and women who are highly accomplished and still find themselves subject to racial profiling. Even a billionaire like Oprah was treated like a common criminal because of her race when shopping in Switzerland. She has more money than just about every woman on the planet, yet these shopkeepers refused to sell her one of their items because she looked like she couldn't afford it.

Why Didn't The Store Just Let Oprah Buy The $38,000 Handbag?

Can you ever be rich enough or famous enough or beautiful enough to not be racially profiled while shopping?

Don't talk shite.

It's common for stores that are selling very expensive items to do things like this.
You could probably even test the theory yourself if you live in a big city.

I know for sure that in London, Edinburgh, Paris (and I assume other European cities) stores selling expensive goods will usually require customers to make an appointment and/or be "buzzed in" to the shop before they can even browse.

For sure some unkempt wreck going into a store and asking to look at a 38k bag is going to raise an eyebrow.

They need to do this or they have to accept they are a major part of the problem. They twist logic and create double standards and cognitive dissonance to keep themselves absolved. They lack empathy or self awareness and get swept into groupthink. Consider their own actions flies against everything that is classically liberal and meant to place personal liberties and shared empathy in the forefront. Each day they get closer and closer to the fascism and the blind rule by ideology they claim to oppose.

Animal Farm was prophetic.

Indeed. "Notes from Underground" is another one that seems like a giant ERA confession: sycophantic, selfish, leeching bureaucrat with enough self-awareness to know he is a sycophantic, selfish, leeching bureaucrat.

 

[MilkyJoe]

I dunno guys, I just have to say, I think the majority or Era posters are normal folks who avoid the hardcore SJW scene that rightfully earns its share of mocking scorn to a point. If you ignore those Era topics, or furthermore judiciously use the ignore feature, you can chat and generally stay under the radar and have a positive experience. But, the way this thread continually day in and day out mocks and reposts and wallows in the worst of Resetera, I've come to think there's just something unhealthy in it. Like, who gives a fuck, we know how stupid some of these people are, why do we need to constantly refresh it and reassure ourselves about it? There are plenty of people here at GAF I've already put on ignore over the last few months because no forum is going to have a monopoly on idiots. Ignore and move on folks, Ignore and move on.

Some of this shit is comedy gold

 

[#Phonepunk#]

because they never reach peak stupid. as stupid as they get, they are constantly finding new ways to top themselves.

it's impressive, honestly.

 

[GymWolf]

LMAO.

Imagine thinking Italy has less institutionalized racism than the US.

We have football hooligans publicly declaring that they don't think a black player, born and raised in Italy and bearing a fully Italian name, will ever be "completely" Italian and barely getting a slap on the wrist.

We have politicians young and (especially) old not even trying to hide their deep-rooted racism.

But sure, you'll be much better here. Plenty of opportunities for a black foreigner here, 'specially if you don't speak the language like a pro.

Lol italy is probably one of the most racist place on earth.

In 33 years living in my city inever saw a poc doing more than washing cars at traffic lights or selling piratet films on cd or another ultra shitty job...

We have 3836436427 different way to say "negro" or "nigger".

Good things is that compared to america, police don't shoot poc for fun.

This isn't about righteousness, this is about compliance. Never lose sight of that. They just got their dopamine and adrenaline fix, they now feel a shot of power, and will go to the next target to feel powerful again once this fades and they go back to feeling like the losers they are.

hey look a super rich guy paid the $10 billion ransom we neeed to save the world. we just give that check to God and all is fair and square. now we can rejoice. not surprised that more than half of Era is impressed by Bezo's virtue signalling. i don't get it. where do all the Keyboard Socialists go? why no guillotines in this thread? lot of concern trolls. i would think real socialists wouldn't back down from an obvious PR ploy like this.

The left's silence on the occupation of Tibet, China's slaughter of Christians, and China's hostility toward Taiwan compared to their volume on the occupation of Palestine is a fascinating contrast. It's no surprise they'd take the contradiction further by raising their voices for the Uighurs, though to be honest it's a good thing that anyone is raising a voice about it, contradictory motives aside.

List is a bit outdated, some of those accounts are dead or banned and given witness protection with a new account.

I still believe Ms.Galaxy was a troll account to ban bait people. Watching people repeatedly white knight by posting her/his(?) claims about some video game affecting their life was highly amusing, also utterly pathetic.

Do they even post there anymore?

Suprising number of them on long term "Duration pending" bans. Even the mods are afraid to actually ban them in case of backlash so they got stealth bans and nobody noticed.
