Don't post wholesome shit yet let this simmer for a while.

@Halo
I'm sorry Halo, I didn't know you were differently abled, it would explain a lot of your racist and ableist biases that you may not even be aware of. I would ask you to strive to improve your sense of racism and ableism over time, to help improve the health of the community.

 

[Halo]

@The_Pirate Thanks! Do you think the "How to Stop Being Racist" article on wikihow would be a good starting point? I really want to cure this disease, but I don't know how. 😔

@Halo
omg, you got me dude.

@Halo
I wouldn't know, I can't seem to communicate on your level of development, which tends to just cause misunderstandings between my points and your understanding of them.

lmao I guess you speak for the all of us huh? Why is it that only your sense of humor is allowed here? What a huge sense of entitlement you have. Also if you truly care about the health of the community then do us all a favor and leave honestly you bring nothing but hate and toxicity _(lmao) to this place.

@sterven
shhhhh, dont heat that up again.

 

[The_Pirate]

@Halo
See what I mean? When we don't strive to improve, people like @Sterven start posting that don't want a better community for the website. I understand that both of your are racists who like to make racists jokes, but I hope both of you can at least try to address the innate racism that your humor encourages and reinforces.

@ColorfulSoy
I have to man i haven't enjoyed such a thread in what seems like an eternity.

@The_Pirate

I understand that both of your are racists who like to make racists jokes,

But I thought minories can't be racist? Unless don't tell me did you ASSUME I was white?

 

[Richman]

Wait a minute, why are you saying they're racist? Where does the racism come from?

But I thought minories can't be racist?

Nah, that only applies to [REDACTED] people.

you know what dude, you just can't take a jokes, and you can't even read a mood. You're talking so high that you can fall of because of the shit you talkin' about.

@sterven
Of course minorities can be racist, it's called internalized racism, and it's what leads people to make preconceived notions about how they are and how they should be. An African-American who believes he "isn't smart enough to graduate college and pursue a career" is suffering from the same kind of racism that a developmentally stunted person like @Halo uses to perceive others as threats, or as Hispanics stealing jobs from Americans or assuming they are Mexican/American when they are Australian citizens.

What is not racism is "reverse racism" or racism against whites, it doesn't matter what views minorities may have on whites, they aren't racist.

Editted to add quotation marks to clarify the "use/mention" distinction concerning mentioning racist beliefs and endorsing them.
@Richman
Sterven states quite plainly he doesn't want his ability to "make jokes" infringed upon. This is a classic racist dogwhistle for racist, sexist and ableist environments.

@ColorfulSoy
Woah, where is this hostility coming from? Halo said he was superior earlier, but I don't see you calling him out, what have I done to claim any superiority?

You don't have to be so hard on yourself, we all have our shortcomings. The first step is to acknowledge the problem, the second step is to ask for help. Here, How to Detect Sarcasm in Writing and How to Tell if Someone Is Being Sarcastic.

What about Halo? Why is he racist according to you?

 

[ColorfulSoy]

@The_Pirate
Dude, bein hated or hate someone is just a natural thing for human, it doesnt matter what your race is.

Why are you linking those articles? Unless you're stating you weren't being serious about your beliefs and therefore really did believe in those racist and ableist posts you made earlier?

@Richman
Earlier in the thread @Halo assumes the race of a child actor who is actually Austrialian, showing his innate biases towards people-of-color and where they hail from.

@ColorfulSoy
I agree entirely, that doesn't stop racism from being a very real thing, both in the world and this thread.

That's just a lack of self confidence not "internalized racism" another example plz.

@Halo
Oof why you be hitting me with that I don't have rage issues if anything the Fish has issues just look at his post below.

 

[Richman]

Apologies fellas, I got a little frustrated and kept my capslock on.
