And you're not clever enough to make real arguments so you resort to logical fallacies like Kafkatrapping. I've dealt with a hundred cultists like you. Always the same buzzwords, but never any substance.
Man, what happened exactly? Even tough I didn't share all his views, I enjoyed reading what he said. Hope he comes back, at least to explain.
See shit like this pisses me off. It's infuriating to be dragged into something that has nothing to do with you. Once again, I will defend myself.
I'm like the only person on this site that stands up to racist bigots and I get called racist for doing so. Other white men (Well into their 60s some of them no its not racist to acknowledge your race its important that i do so.) like to gaslight or whitesplain away everything I say. The same people use microaggressions against me with wtfs all the time for no reason on my comments.. It's always the same group btw. Check the lols and wtfs on this post. It's them. That's what closes threads. Never fails.
I guess that's the price to pay for standing for what's right. I'm okay with that.
What I'm not okay with is you or anybody else lying on me, or implying that I am somehow a racist. You must be out of your fucking mind.
Why you are saying my name next to an open racist? The other person you named is OPENLY racist and has said several racist things towards me and others but for some reason was never banned. I blocked him.
Claims of Black people being racist, also known as reverse racism, often lacks the conversation about the necessity for being able to exercise power and authority, which are essential components of racism.
See, the anti-black guilt complex is so real in America, that if a black person points out CLEAR racism, White people feel attacked. You feel attacked because somebody black exposed you. Instead of face your reality you'd rather accuse your accuser.
Here's the funny thing though, If you knew I was white, and I said the same things, (called out racism) you wouldn't call me racist. It wouldn't make sense because it's not. It only makes sense to you because you think reverse racism works. It doesn't.
You believe in the "Reverse Racism" myth but you are hilariously mistaken. By definition, I can't be racist because in order for me to be racist it would mean I have the ability to OPPRESS you because I am part of a power structure that systematically and institutionally rewards Blackness. No such thing exists in America. LMFAO. White people are not and have never been Oppressed by Black people or any people in America.
So NO I am not racist.
But I wonder............. WHO CAN BE racist? I mean Is there a power structure that systemically and institutionally rewards whiteness for years even still till this day? Does such a place like that exist? Does it start with A and end with A?
Interesting!
Oh but you say I'm racist. It's laughable how stupid of a statement that is.
Not only that, but there is also no evidence of me being such. I have screenshots of every racial remark made towards me. Trust me I can expose some of you for the filth you are. I'm saving it for my magnum opus. Every time it happens I screenshot and put it in a folder on my desktop. I don't forget.
I've never once encouraged hate, promoted hate, promoted racism.
If I am guilty of anything it's pointing out the gross amounts of racism and general anti-black attitudes that some people seem to think they can get away with here. I am attacked for it, gaslit, met with all forms of disrespect for calling it out. I've even had people make alt accounts just to attack me. It's kind of hilarious. Sad too.
So on this site, with ME, The Threads become victims of a bunch of white men (some who are well into their 60s) trying to score points off the only black person in the room. They never score a damn thing though, only made to look like the racist they really are.
I do not care who likes it, its true.
Don't assume because I'm seemingly alone here, I'm an easy target. I'm not.
I'm well equipped to deal with any aggro from any of you. I don't care. I've already said before, ZERO TOLERANCE FOR RACISM. Any form of it. Mirco, Covert, Overt. I don't care.
If people Keep saying racist shit, then I'm going to keep exposing people for filth. Period.
Stop lying on my name.
It's Sad to see @DMKANO go because there are other people that should be banned for saying way worse shit than he's ever said. Just like ALL the other companies doing a clean up right now, this place ALSO needs a cleanup, but make sure you target the right people.

Love Minecraft. And check out my Youtube channel OhCanadaGamer
Try a MUD today at http://www.mudconnect.com/I also won't be baited into a kindergarten level discussion about basic human rights, it was a nice try though.
But, as someone posted in this thread, lets not derail it. Sorry if my post contributed to that and sorry to see DMKano leave, the best people to have around you are those with different views that challenge you every step of the way, how else can you learn and grow as a human being?
/Cheers,

Kyleran on yours sincerely
'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

Prove you wrong? Lightwork ("Easy" for the uninitiated)
Whitesplaining always starts with
"To Play Devils Advocate" or "I just wanted to point out"
It's easier to deal with when you know what to look for.
Dude, did you read this before you wrote it?
"I only want to point out that racism only requires that one believes their “race” (Always confused me since we’re all the same friggin race) is superior to another. The act of oppression is not."
-@childoftheshadows
HUH??????????????????????
NO, Belief isn't enough. Actions are what make Prejiduce, turn into racism.
What you are talking about is called Prejudice. Not Racism. 2 Different concepts with similar characteristics.
In America, Oppression is a form of or result of RACISM-(Social-Economic Action) based on White Superiority- (Prejudice)
Prejudice refers to a positive or negative evaluation of another person based on their perceived group membership. Racism on the other hand refers to social actions, practices, or beliefs or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other.
Racism is socio-economic, with systemic structures that promote one race’s powers over another. Socio-economic being the operative word, I am certain you will agree that black people do not have the resources to impose such oppressive structures that enforce their superiority. White people on the other hand have, and had imposed them on blacks for over four centuries of slavery and colonialism. Black people can be prejudiced, but not racist since we hold little power to enforce discrimination against another group.
This is factual, I don't care what you want to believe so that you feel better about your place in the world. No, it is not possible to be racist without any actual power. Racism is rooted in power. You fail to see this because you are a benefactor of the power of racism. AKA "Privilege"
No, we are not all the same race... you are being willfully obtuse and purposefully replacing Race and Ethnicities with SPECIES because you thought you would score a point off me. In reality, though, you sound like one of those "I don't see color" people which is the most backward thing ever IMO.
"COLOR" is just another term for "Race and Ethnicities". You not seeing that or acknowledging it speaks a lot about your character. Its a form of erasure. Everyone should see race and respect that there are other people different than you are. That's the beauty of being part of the Human Species. Human is not a race. Saying so helps to erase the years of mistreatment that minorities have faced around the world, especially in America. It allows America to act like it never happened and absolves it of Responsibility. Its why they tell us to forget Slavery but remember the holocaust. Only one of those happened in America btw.
America has never owned responsibility for its shitty history. That's why all this is happening now, the kids are ripping all the band-aids off.
Its another form of gaslighting intended or not. Online Racism denial/Gaslighting (like what I've been fighting against/Exposing for years on this site to no avail) is the same as denying it in the OFFLINE real-life Government like refusing to name the KKK an active terrorist group for over 100 years.
That means its part of the social oppression of African Americans.
Which makes it racist. Not that hard to understand.

I used to go to a school with only a few black guy and everyone of them are on the basketball team.
I mean that in the nicest way possible. Consider that the internet is how people communicate now also consider its how we consume media, I'm unsure of how you think you can avoid hearing about the real-world politics/events that are penetrating society at a deep level. Gaming companies are even becoming part of the conversation.
I understand not wanting to hear it but going on the internet to say you don't want to SEE WHAT'S ON THE INTERNET is weird to me. Also if you play games to escape (same tbh), maybe go actually play a game and don't visit any OPINION BASED ONLINE FORUMS?? I'm just saying the internet is not the place to tuck your head under the sheets.
Might work IDK..I'm just a random dude on the internet like everyone else.

Racism would be: "No black guys can play in the NBA because they are so good at basketball that it wouldn't be fair for everyone else. Keep them out of our Pro League."
Funny-Interesting point but I don't agree that it's hard not to be racist. It's easy.
America wanted it to be hard because its foundation was based in racism.

I don't care who you addressed. My response is word for word the same regardless of who you slander.
I'm also never going to be apologetic for calling out racist bullshit. I'm also no apologist. My stance is clear. Fuck racism. Bottomline.
I own up to whatever I say 100% because it's usually right on these subjects because I live it. It's not just a theory. Its experience.
Anyway, in honor of DMKano, man thank you for your opinions, I know a lot of people have bumped heads with you, but I haven't really had the pleasure lol.. usually we agree on a lot of things. Even if I didn't fully agree, you always explain your position with eloquence and tact, and I appreciate that. IDK or really care what happened, but I hope you can return soon. As I said earlier there are others that deserve bans far more than you. Good luck with whatever it is you have going on. Much Love dude - Klash
