I really didn't expect it, I really didn't.

This is the greatest post I've seen this month though

You've got to include the post he was responding to:

Is the guy black ? Looks cajun to me.

Also he sounds like Tommy Littlestone (from the amazingly brutal show Banshee)

People comparing chopsticks to black hair now? Wtf these people can't be serious.

Peoe become hilariously obtuse in these discussions. It's annoying.

Good morning BCT just wanted to say hi!

Sad how Cecil has gotten more media play and public sympathy within the past year than the combined plight of issues in different African countries have gotten this year. Dude's right to be miffed. That Facebook post is weird as hell too. What would Cecil matter to an him any more than the multiple Shamus matter to a Texan?

Yeah. If you're new, you get an email at some point that says your account was validated.

there's no way on earth i'll ever get involved in a cultural appropriation thread on here again. shit is insanely annoying.

They refuse to even understand the issue. People wonder why we haven't moved forward from race it's because of shit like this.

I just bookmarked some of the great articles posted and left. Infinite was right. People are just obtuse and have no concept of what it might be like to live in the shoes of someone who's culture or features are co-opted as accessories.

I'm not even touching that afro appropriation thread man, smh

it always ends up like this, sadly. even after having it explained to them, it's still "you're wrong, i'm right." until people just give up.

I've always said, if you really want to see how much white people, and hell, other people of color, value black (or Native American) voices, check out an appropriation discussion.

amazing how many love talking out their ass about subjects they know little about.

Enlightened European guy was particularly annoying. "I don't live in your country but you guys seem to make a big deal about race. We here in Europe are a single monoculture linked arm in arm with no issues at all. Get with the times."

From the way some people on here talk you'd think the UK was a racism free utopia.

"You'd get it if you lived here. Don't apply your US sensibilities to our traditions." :/

Bunch of rowdy students playing quidditch and not caring about fundamentals smh

The NQA doesn't allow athletes straight out of high school no more, gotta do two years of college to try to learn the fudamentals

A dude in that thread literally said he doesn't "buy" the reasons from black women on why they feel social pressures to wear a perm.

why the push back? because it doesn't fit your world view?

 

[EdibleKnife]

why the push back? because it doesn't fit your world view?

And it's such an simplistic and unrealistic world view too that outright dismisses the idea that different people have to tackle different issues. It's like they're offended by the idea that stereotypes and prejudices can cause real world problems for people.

 

[esms]

It was?

Christmas can't come soon enough.

they have no fucking idea


When the shit is so deep that their own people make fun of the way their hair naturally grows because they've been conditioned to emulate another ethnicity's features for acceptance, then they can talk.

This and the mafia thread. August starting off correct.

But I can't relate

 

[deli2000]

It's utterly baffling that someone living in the UK in 2015 would say there's no racism here. You don't even have to be a minority to figure that out, it's so blatant.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Mickey Guyton is coming on up. She's a black country singer. I like her. Y'all.

I fucks with her.

The main character in Mafia III is black y'all

let's see how folks defend their 'I can't relate' posts in a Mafia game

Oh snap. Now that trailer despite not showing any gameplay was far more effective in conveying story and didn't feel like they threw some random scenes together. Lighting was on point as well. The FFXV trailer was about as useful to me as a used tampon.

there's no way on earth i'll ever get involved in a cultural appropriation thread on here again. shit is insanely annoying.

Thanks for the heads up.

They want the glamour of the REAL mafia tho

 

[deli2000]

I thought people were joking about that Mafia III thread. People really don't like diversity in video games huh?

 

[KidGalactus]

Does anyone remember that study/article about how white people have trouble reading black facial expressions?
The gist was that they consistently read them as aggressive,even when at rest, or slightly happy.

Been looking all over for it and can't find it.

Meanwhile, a nigga can't play soccer without racial epithets flying. The Europeans on here who act like they have no idea what racism is annoy the fuck outta me.

 

[EloquentM]

Lol someone in the mafia thread just told dudes to stop assuming racism.

 

[soundscream]

I'm all for organized crime........... as long as they need SPF 80 on a sunny day

 

[zeemumu]

the reason Obama didn't want anyone to find out about him being born in Kenya was to hide the fact that he he studied Demonology there.

 

[soundscream]

He gets down with Franklin in GTA V so its all good.

 

[Rembrandt]

it's funny to see how fast some people on GAF will condemn reddit, but spew this diet racism/ignorance in tons of topics. I guess they don't like the super obvious racism.

 

[Black Republican]

i dont see race tho, but get that shit outta mah videogames!

Was it this?: http://www.dailydot.com/opinion/resting-bitch-face-rbf-black-people/ Edit: Maybe not since it was just posted yesterday.

Hell we even had that thread about UK sports fans keeping a black guy off a train. It's willful ignorance coupled with a high and mighty attitude.

 

[soundscream]

I know were supposed to "engage" in threads like that and not just vent here from the sidelines, but I have zero patience for that right now. I know a few are going to hop in and fight the good fight, but I know I would catch a ban if I said what I really wanted to.

The original name of that image is "MafiaIII_Harassment". Hangar 13 ready to go in.

That Mafia III thread... it's San Andreas part 2.

 

[jmood88]

But seriously though, that Mafia 3 reveal surprised the fuck out of me. I really hope that the writing is done well. I haven't been his excited about playing as a character since Adewale in Black Flag.

By which you mean that poor officer of the law is being harassed by that interracial couple.
