Aww thank you 😊
Leshwanda, Queen, I know you’re reading this. When you can finally return to this site in 2050 I’ll be here waiting for you. You are not forgotten. You are loved. You are valid.

It's absolutely not racist, it's TRIBAL, which is why people of all dna and skin shades say it, to be in the nigger tribe.
Self depreciating? Yup
Offensive? Yup
Empowering when used to signal belonging to the tribe? Yup
Racist? No No No
Maybe before Corporate Media glorified the nigger tribe with the nigger lyrics to sell billions of records was it specifically racially offensive, but that's many generations removed now. Most of my 16 year old students don't have a clue what a race or race-hate is. But they have no problems saying nigger all day long....
Black people adopted the n-word from the white rednecks
As Sowell wrote extensively, that is not all they adopted, but we don't ban the tribal gang violence that also came from Redneck culture...
....honor violence, flashy displays of wealth, and confrontational language, rejection of formal education... (heavens to betsy!)
We don’t ban the violence. We don’t ban the dysfunctional tribalism. We don't ban the culture. But we lose our minds over a WORD that, ironically, was inherited just like everything else.

Do you think she would be banned if she was white or asian or both?

@LucyStarfire
No, she would’ve gotten a slap on the wrist like I’ve gotten many a time

We ought to be mindful of our white privilege. Mods around here will drag a poor African-American woman behind the woodshed with a loaded shotgun for a little bit of light-hearted banter. By Jove, I know I've been saved by such a fate by my lily-white complexion and 100% certified European-Aryan ancestry. But that's what it's like living in Trump's America. Golly, whatever happened to basic decency? What the heck? Can't we all just get along?

I know you need an outlet, as all three year olds do, and I was worried you had lost it.

N*gg*r tribe? Lol, some superficial inner-city homeschool online Facebook group name. Also, circular reasoning

@WyIted
It was an obvious racist parody account. Always sounded like Cartman pretending to be a black lady.Correct, neither of which violate any rules.
Idk, the new CoC you guys voted on in April is weird.
- Users are encouraged to present well-reasoned arguments and avoid logical fallacies. We do not permit the worst forms of trolling, such as spamming, posting irrelevant or inflammatory content, or engaging in personal attacks. However, we do allow more borderline forms of trolling that are intended to provoke thought or stimulate debate, as long as they are presented in a respectful and thoughtful manner.
What is "borderline trolling." If it's constructive, respectful, and thoughtful it isn't trolling.
Anyway, you're right, I don't see anything in the new CoC that she violated. Maybe you could say she was guilty of trolling? But you can now argue she was only a "borderline troll" or something.
~Borderline trolls~ We entertain you within the gray areas of the lawwwww

Please sir, if you insist on using that word so prolifically you really ought to post a picture of your hands. If they're white, it's alright, but if not... oh Lordy, those mods will be on you like bloodhounds on a crippled, darkly-complected fox.

No problem = Problem.

Not racist = racist.
N-word is not racist = n-word is racist.
We have a problem

It was the slave traders who first called black people "negro" which then evolved to a derogatory term in light of their perceived inferiority of intelligence and social status.Black people adopted the n-word from the white rednecks
Well now that’s a real humdinger! It isn’t your job to police Black language any more than it’s their job to police ours. It’s true that I would have a whale of a time trying to find an appropriate way to use that word but it ain’t my word you see? We each got our own way of talkin and that type of diversity is just swell as far as I’m concerned. This site is already on the fritz enough as it is!

I haven't told anyone to stop using the N-word. My point is that the N-word is rooted in racism.
Tell me how explaining the origins and nature of a word means I am a Kracker Karen to Black people all of a sudden?

To be fair, I do ban the word in my classroom when I hear it, but only because it is counterproductive to passively encourage a culture that shuns education while I am actively doing the opposite! (I never explain that to them, I just say don't do it or you are out)... I want to keep the "education culture" door open for them.

My diet is mostly chocolate and milk. I avoid meat, vegetables and grains.
Haven't seen people having this much fun with a ban protest since the days of bsh1.
He would've come in here to defend the ban too.

Eh, I think this is kind of why the site is dead. I was looking over people I remembered from the past who had colorful, strongly held opinions and many of them have been banned or just stopped posting. Sure, as a mod you can ignore feedback from site users, and it causes less trouble in the short term. But there's a reason that there's been a drive to loosen up moderation rules by the actual users. This forum is just boring. Mafia is the only thing it has going for it and is really the only reason I came back. There are dozens of places I could go to discuss issues that offer more diverse spreads of opinions and users who are articulate enough to defend them well. In my opinion, the site has been slowly smothered in its cradle by enforcing an Overton window and level of decorum that's like a timewarp to 2015. Nobody on the internet wants that anymore, and there're so many better-populated places to find what people do want. For the people who want a hugbox, there are places that are much stricter. For people who want to speak and explore freely, there's an ever-increasing number of sites that offer complete freedom. The zeitgeist has moved on.

Bruh if you look at old threads I don’t think I have EVER seen a website/forum with a higher % of the user base that gets banned
Okay to be fair a lot of it is voluntary bans but it’s jarring to look at an old thread and see the username crossed out for like half of the participants
I applied for Mod and if I get it will advocate for free speech. To be fair David is actually motivated and I think wants to drive the site forward and has good ideas. But I fully stand by free speech should be allowed. Direct racism is harder but I concur, DDO style moderation is what made the site so good but I have faith David will make some good changes.
Max and I are also trying to kickstart life mafia and work on getting mafia popular again. With an active person having site ownership (one that is responsive). First time the site has had a chance to actually rebrand and make some interesting changes.
