Support NeoGAF

[Jada]

There are many companies that exist and operate successfully now that supported and provided for the Nazi war efforts and used Jewish labour (slavery to death).

I'm sure there are many other cases of this as well across the globe.

Yes, and those companies have been forced to make reparations to not just the survivors of the holocaust, but the descendants of every victim, as well. Did you know that reparations will continue to be made to the generations that descend from the victims of the holocaust?

No such reparations have been made to the descendants of the American holocaust, although that appears far closer than it ever has, thanks to grassroots efforts by activists (1619, etc.) and growing support of it among white Americans.

1619 is grassroots activism

Go on, lecture us about redlining.

My ancestors are German and Irish. Clearly the European Union, as a descendant of the Roman Empire, needs to pay me neetbux because my Gaulic and Celtic ancestors got the short end of the stick centuries ago. At the very least the Vatican should pay up.

Can you give a verified source confirming that specific companies funded any of the reparation money? I know there was a government fund, but did Volkswagen have to empty their pockets? Or....

From what I'm reading there are figures like $290 a month for Holocaust survivors (not applicable to you since you were never a slave) and a lump-sum payment between $2500 to $7500 (again, only for the direct victims of slave labour) to those who applied for it.

Would receiving such amounts make you happy?

And something to consider:

 

[Papa]

Let's also ignore the fact that the Treaty of Versailles (reparations for WWI) led to Hitler and WW2

No objections from me. Wish you all the best.

He doesn't even appear to be black; he looks like a racially ambiguous person, possibly an "octaroon" at most in regard to being black, but whatever.

Pretty much. Too many people who aren't actually black say that they're black or are considered black because of the stupid One Drop Rule. Beyonce isn't black either; yea, I just said that.

Is this some kind of contest or what? Nobody gives a damn here on this gaming forum. How black somebody is has nothing to do with the topic. White guy with a couple Bud Light Platinums was talking shit and got smacked. That's it.

 

[DonJorginho]

What a shitshow this thread has ended up being, it's like the most hostile Gaffers in a gladiator tournament to the death.

What do I think on this? I think the black fella is well in his right to maybe give him a little jab for being outright disrespectful, hateful and hostile, but leave it at that, we all know the scrawny white guy wouldn't so anything after one good hit, the black guy only brings him down and hooks his temple repeatedly with full force for his own enjoyment, it's not right, both sides ended up being in the wrong.

Hell why didn't anyone get involved and tell the white guy to watch his language to stop this shit from happening at all? Stupidity all round.

This is disgusting and should be labeled a hate crime.

[mortal]

It's not "friendly" when coming from someone non-black.

Bullshit.

Race has nothing to do with it. It's about the intent behind a person's speech.
I've known my fair share of black people that say nigga in a non-friendly manner, as well as those that say it in a friendly manner.

It's also absurd to assume someone's intentions based solely on their race.

Pretty sure this took place in Elyria Ohio which is a fucking shithole ghetto city so not surprising one bit at all.

You really want to be the black person police? Come on man, this is ridiculous. Have some damn love in your heart. I've dated a mixed black woman before and this kind of talk makes them feel excluded from their own community.

He's also ignoring that the prejudice tends to occur regardless of if you're mixed, since it's mostly appearance-based if you appear black I'm pretty sure you're enduring the "black experience". I don't think Cylde and his cousin Roofus are DNA testing you prior to whatever hate crime they want to perpetrate.

There's no such thing as a mixed black woman. The term "mixed black woman" is literally an oxymoron. Would you ever call her a "mixed white woman"? I'm not trying to police blackness; I'm simply presenting a rational argument.

Call it whatever the hell you want but they are still mixed race and there is a stigma on mixed raced kids by both races. You are policing people's blackness with remarks like "Too many people who aren't actually black say that they're black".

I'm being rational. Like I said, if mixed people aren't called white or whatever other race(s) that comprise their racial makeup, then they shouldn't be called black; the origin of that line of thinking is actually racist: One-Drop Rule.

The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States in the 20th century. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of black blood)[1][2] is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms).

This concept became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste and later segregation. It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.[3]

I'm not going to argue about this any further, because my reasoning is rational.

Keep telling yourself that. We aren't talking about the one drop rule here where I have maybe 12% African American in me. We are talking about a mixed kid with half white and half black being called into question their blackness. In fact, there are people who called into question of her blackness for simply dating a white man. Who are you to say that a mixed child who identifies more with black people is not black enough. I pray you think of the other person's feelings and outlook on their own identity when you tell them who they can or can't be.

Black guy got arrested right?

His kids going to be without their father for a while.

Totally worth it though because the weird AF white dude in a 7/11 said a word to you.

Did you watch the video? Any lawyer worth a damn can easily claim the white guy attacked him first when he went to kick the can out of his hand.

Seems like an unnecessary risk if you're that guy's kids / wife.

Definitely throws a spanner in things, nicely spotted. The stance he takes with the can in the hand will be the issue, he definitely fucked himself there as if he was already waiting for the moment, which the guy then reacted to.

I'm still shocked how the tin can absolutely evaporates.

 

[rofif]

that idiot deserved it anyway but I don't understand (as an european) why white people can't say nigga(it seems in any context . Here it's obviously to offend))?
It's all over in movies, tv shows, gta5 and black people speak to themselves like that all the time. So... it's a bit weird.
But f that guy lol. he deserved worse

 

[Scotty W]

The guy was a prick, but I still can't condone violence from a word.

It bothers me how many others actually do. Be the better man.

Rule of thumb is, act like prick, expect to be treated like one. Not difficult

To expect something is not the same as condoning it. Not difficult.

 

[DeafTourette]

Naaah intent and context definitely play into it. Language changes as well, just look at the way people have come to use certain words now online, despite their traditional usage.

Even the term 'dude' had a very specific meaning at some point, then became a colloquial term in American culture.

You can use it casually as a term of endearment or even when hostile.
Nigga doesn't inherently carry a negative connotation in that context.


Southern Americans don't have a monopoly on the word because of their accent.

It's only a big deal here because the one guy was very visibly not black.

If you see a non-black person saying that word around a black person/people and they're not getting rocked ... They have permission FROM THOSE/THAT BLACK PERSON/PEOPLE to say it.

You won't ever see a random non-black person saying it to a random black person and not at least get yelled at.

They have permission? That's not how freedom of speech works lol.

There are even Hispanics or Latinos that say nigga. Even mixed or biracial people.

It's not the 1960s anymore.

 

[DeafTourette]

Thats because the black community took a word that was used for opression and hatred and made it their own to show affection towards a fellow black person as a sign of friendship, strength and unity. Just let it go.

Naw.

Black people were first called the word when we were brought here as slaves. The slaves adopted the terminology massa used towards each other. It hasn't left the community since then. It's become a colloquial term within the community and has been that for centuries.

If we were friends and hanging out... And I told you you have permission to say it around me because we're cool like that... That is me giving you permission...

If we are friends and you say it around me and I tell you I'm not comfortable with you using it around me, that is me not giving you that permission. It's offensive to me. My friends know what and what NOT to say around me.

Although, you just said:

Both comments are the same thing. How are you not getting that? Are you American? Do you know American history past the founding fathers?

You don't get a pass but it feels like they're baiting him (man standing next to him, video tape'd) seems like a lose lose situation and they hasn't been mentioned.

 

[mortal]

You just made a definitive statement about all black people and all non black people and their intent with saying nigga.
Then you made anecdotal statement about you and your personal group of friends.
How is that the same thing? Did you read your own posts? You seem to want to project your personal views onto others here.

 

[Catphish]

That was great!! I don't normally condone violence but it was very satisfying to watch this douchbag get his cum muffins.

Comeuppance?

No offence but it is your line of thought that's the problem with countries especially America.

You look at everything and I mean everything in skin colour terms. That cannot be healthy, it's like a weird reverse racism.

Every social issue in the world and especially in the US is far more complicated than the colour of your skin.

You literally gotta stop thinking in black and white if there's any hope for you.

I'm not arguing with what you're saying it's just I don't care and neither should you.
