Yeah, it hasn't been this bad. So many people get railroaded into their beliefs that they ignore basic facts and it just becomes frustrating and exhausting debating them.
When did all of this happen? When did GAF become like this?

You know what depresses me most? That some people can't see that the kid might have been acting in self-defense too. Since you know I'd be pretty scared and possibly violent if some fucking dude was car stalking me, then ran up on me with his fucking weapon.
Black people can't claim self-defense. Who the fuck told you that?
Stupid Culture.

That gosh darn gangster rap.
Yeah, I've pretty much accepted the fact there will be dumbasses who do dumb shit out there like this wannabe cop. But its the people that try and defend it... ugh
and I defend a lot of shit. I didn't even harp on the racial stuff at first, but come on - do I NEED to say that a black male in a nice neighborhood is still out of place in America? And that a black male walking around at night is scarier than a UFO sighting?

No but given reactions to your subtitle hints about the bigger issue at hand we still have quite the problem. I more saddened in my heart than angry by the reactions of individuals in the thread.

Black people living in a nice area? Good sir I will not stand by while you tell fairy tales.
Totally shouldn't have commented in that thread. Too much emotional baggage on my end.
Couldn't help it because I've been in that kid's shoes, being followed at night by a strange white man. The memory is chilling because I was a split decision from stabbing this guy to death.
Why? Because you already made a decision to kill that motherfucker when they come after you. Why? Because of the racialcommon sense stereotype I was raised with, which says no white dude who isn't a cop is crazy enough to follow me at night, unless he's does not give a fuck for my life.
If he jumps out with a pistol on him? Shit one of us is probably dying in that spot. And that's what happened here.
It's like some people refuse to look at it from the 17 year old kid's perspective. A 20-something follows me home then hops out of the car and comes up with a pistol showing, we are fighting for that pistol. 100 times out of 100. No badge = fight to the death, because why would I let him pull it and shoot me looking like a fool?
You know? I have dead friends. And this kid Trayvon was from fucking Miami. That's not fairy tale, give benefit of the doubt to dudes with pistols at night land either.
But I need to relax. Shit's fucked up though.
I know I don't ever post in here, but this might have saved me from saying something reckless.

I feel you, man. That was some real shit.
KJack I feel for you bro, I've never been in a position where I was being followed or felt like I ws being followed. I can only imagine the adrenaline pumping in such a scenario.
Maybe it's the fact that I live in a country where shit like that is statistically low.
No one has license to walk with concealed guns in my country. Aside from hunting rifles and only in uninhabitable parts of Canada.
Even stabbings are statistically low.
So my perspective on this issue is pretty far from what I would assume others would have.
Man I used to walk in area's like reagent park & moss park which were pretty bad areas in Toronto at 1 to 3 am near my dads government housing project and I never got shit. Not by the cops. Nor anyone on the street.
I can't imagine how different it would be in certain parts of America.

Don't feel upset about posting that. It puts shit in perspective. KHarvey and his ilk are so fucking blatantly disconnected with reality or a perspective beyond their fucking computer screen, they're really not worth engaging seriously beyond a certain point. I know that's lulzy coming from me, but he really won't do anything bannable. He'll just sit there and act like someone who has never actually experienced anything beyond his own sheltered existence. He made this pretty clear with his "i ain't afraid of no ghosts" bullshit when it comes to not being intimidated by a car following him. And when told "no that's not how it is" by people who actually go through this shit, instead of listening he will just put his fingers in his fucking ears and dig in deeper because god forbid he ever actually question his willfully ignorant position.
Its kinda scary to realize how detached from the world some people are. Either they never leave the house, or they somehow live in a better world than the rest of us, and really don't understand how fucking on point you have to be out there.

liberal gaf isnt so liberal when it comes it race threads.
alot of ignorance but at the same time alot of people who havent seen upfront or lived a similar life.
Not everyone's fault obviously but still

Eh, I find there's often areas where 'liberal' people become less liberal. I've known homophobic people that are totally switched on regarding racism, racists that believe in fighting for gender equality etc...
People are fucking complicated and rarely can you neatly categorise them as 'liberal' or 'conservative' and then expect that to tell the full story of their views.

I have to give it to Dave's explanation. When it comes to these subjects you can't tell what will be said. My whole thing right in regards to that thread is the disconnect. I mean people are arguing in regards to what should have happened vs. what went down.

Really? It always seemed a lot worse to me way back. Especially when I look at threads like the San Andreas reveal.
Although it has its problems, the gaf community is still so much better than the majority of other forums. I remember debating whether I should identify as black here when I recieved membership. The shit I recieved on other gaming forums in the past was unreal.
I know that feeling. Which is why I was shocked when the barbershop opened up and black people poured out.

So I was having a discussion with our white receptionist yesterday about black mans and white woman, so I was saying between my guys, I'm the only one who goes down on chicks- and more notably- down on them the first time we sleep together (providing she's not a random I met in a club/bar)
So I told her about this Sizzla song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9zvZzRHYtk) and the general negative perception of sodomy and going down on chicks with us black mans and she was shocked!
So am I wrong here? Is it different for you American guys when you mean girls? (any race)

Yeah. From what i've seen too, the majority of black posters don't even post in this thread.
Always go down on girls. Whether I do on the first date depends on how much time we have.
I despise guys that don't.
Caribbean Americans are kinda uptight about that shit too. African Americans are better as far as I can tell but the %'s are probably still lower than the general public. I love going down on women, probably my favorite sexual activity.

But it is amazing! I love the reaction and pleasure it give to the lady and something like that shouldn't be missed out on. Anything that can get her off and get me into the good books is a good thing!
Team that up with stimulating her "g spot" at the same time and my oh my! SQUIRRRRRMING! haha
Yeah, but I always make time! I just cant go from clothed to banging naked if there's no teasing with tongues and lips

Really?
It's what happens when people are socialised via Youtube comments and other public media like Facebook.
It's not too dissimilar to how people's views and opinions are formed by books, like the Bible or Koren for example.
Or the porn explosion for that matter..
The louder voices are the ones whos opinions get traction and acceptance, especially when it comes to topics like race for example..
Why do you think different people often say the same or similar things?

I hate it. And it's not a 1:1 comparison to sucking dick. A penis (I would imagine) is like sucking a meaty finger with two buddies. Everything is on the up and up. But a vagina... oh man, you never know what the fuck is going to happen. There's juices flying everywhere, you have to look for this little head that keeps poking in and out of Oblivion, and the better job you do, the worst shit gets. Liquid everywhere.
I take pride in my work, but that is strictly a LTR privilege dealing with me.
I enjoy the fact that she enjoys it but it is a terrible, lockjaw-inducing act that no one should be subjected to.
FreeMufasa is right.. this has always been a part of GAF. The San Andreas reveal was a shock to me. Not just because of the comments but because of the number of people who expressed them. There were a bunch of long time GAF members that I lost total respect for, in those GTA threads.
I also had hesitations revealing my race after that period but I don't remember what changed that.
It's not just here, though. It wasn't that long ago when I was shocked to find racism in online games while playing AvP1 and after Halo racism in games is the norm. Some of the more popular boards on the web are places where I could never call home due to the pervasive racism embedded into their subcultures and I feel like it is only going to get worse from here.
It's like when I found out that one of the neighborhoods that I grew up in had a racist underbelly, the creeps tend to know how to hide themselves from the unassuming. What I guess is lacking, now, is that people no longer feel the need to hide their racism and this is something that is internet-wide.

Just an amendment: whether you give or not, you shouldn't expect or allow anyone to go down on ya if you haven't cleaned it up. That fishy surprise is not what's up...and I assume neither are musty balls.
