Retirement Announcement
I'd like to thank you gentlemen for not banning me the score of times RM, fauxlaw, and the virgin reported me. Probably two virgins in there actually, and one old prude. Anyway, ta.

I hope I remain unbanned in the future.

I can't name an Irish hero that wasn't sticking it to the English. Something wrong there too, and I hope England sinks tbh. But we're all just trying to get along, eh?

I would imagine there's a lot of people in the US cross the streets when they see black kids, or hoods anyway, or whatever you might call them. This is a hyper-individualistic world, we're all against everyone else in everything, for grades, results, women, everything. And the average person grew up in their own little bubble, had nothing to do with slavery, and is just trying to get along, and probably feels pressed upon by black youths, and resents that. And next thing there's a politics of giving things to these people, scholarships, opportunities, money. You can empathise with that too. The world's a bit shit tbh. Philanthropy's for bored rich people. 

But the black kid has it worse. He just does tbh. 

Funding for outreach programs. Affirmative action kinda dealies. Real opportunities. All of that would go a long way. Affirmative action would obviously want to be properly managed and not just about having a token black guy in the class, rather set up for his success. It should all be personal level stuff, not systemic bullshit. I dunno, this stuff seems obvious. I don't even think you need much of a plan in it before it starts being good. But how else do you raise someone up? 2 generations a freed slave isn't much. We're only a hundred years free of the English, we've a thousand songs and poems about it, it's deep in our psyche, but we have our own country, our own people, we're not living amongst our former antagonists a second class citizen, lesser in a thousand ways. I'd bomb something new every day tbh lol. I dunno.

I think once you've an eye to see it, it's easy to see that's there something wrong. But there's lot of things wrong, sure.

Earlier I had thought I had a game solve with the ninja/BG/innocent. It feels like TUF is trying to measure up.

I'm not reading in any real way at the moment, and sorry about that, but again it's hard to see Alphonse as mafia or not being in it, and for that, TUF reads as trying to fake a role equal to my believability as cop. If his supposed "game solve" isn't very convincing, I think I'll vote him. I definitely think he should claim.

I'm going collecting my brother from the airport now and won't be on tonight and probably not so much tomorrow. We can probably get this DP extended right? Down to the wire now and all that, game has obviously suffered from inactivity too.

How do you not recognise a metaphor when you write one at me right above it? But it's nothing as simple as a foot race, and it hasn't been a long time. How much racist sentiment do you hear daily? I bet a mountain of it. The banker is a white man. It's a game of monopoly where the white man has hotels on every square already.

Except most of the gyms are whites only. Bet education in Canada is cheaper than America too.

I'll leave it to Double above, he's the accountant. They definitely exist. Black people are doing just fine in the US economically, although they would be doing better if they weren't brought here as slaves in the first place. It's like kicking the shit out of someone and then telling them they'd fine if they joined a gym. You're giving good advice here, dude.

If blacks want more family wealth, they should invest.  They have the per capita income as a group comparable to White Canadians, so this shouldn't be that hard for them.
I'd like a source on this. Shitty attitude towards your neighbours regardless.

We got a few British Knights knocking around. Funny story, I crashed my first car into a Knight's castle wall, took out about 6 meters of masonry. About fifteen people turned up for me and we cleared the road, got the car out of there, everything, brushes, shovels, the lot, 2 am in the morning. The Knight came looking, asking about 50 grand for his wall, there wasn't a Catholic said a word. That's a people lol.

Do you have evidence that the descendants of people who owned slaves 150 years ago are wealthier than the descendants of white people who didn’t own slaves, and if so, where that gap came from?

is a lot more controversial than some kind of targeted payment towards living people who were actually wronged in a tangible and quantifiable way
My country is the only country in the world with less of a population today than it had in 1850, as a result of the famine. That's less loosey-goosey, sure, but it's a little crazy to think there's not a knock-on effect. 150 years is not a long time. 

The nations wealth was not built on slavery, which was a net economic detriment to the benefit of the slave holding caste. The entire country would have been wealthier were it not for slavery, except the slave holding caste.
So slavery hurt you too? lol.
Weird argument, dude.

The way I see it is this: You guys got the African American, a second class citizen surely in a lot of ways, looking on at the rich white man, the wealth of which his ancestors were once enslaved to. There's resentment there, and if there's not politics there, I don't know where else.

Of course, it'll be on the other side too, in this hyper-individualistic world.

I'm not saying you're wrong. I grew up on a farm. We have 80 or 100 cattle at all times, I like them, I treat them well, I sing to them constantly tbh, Bohemian Rhapsody mostly, captive audience my mam says. But every fifteen months the cattle prods come out and a batch of them goes to slaughter. My dad takes a weird sort of class photo of death beforehand. I got a cranky vet comes too, he hates his job I'd say, I saw him box one of my cattle right into the mouth once, real hard, because it kicked while he was trying to castrate it. Well, I nearly hit him. I was paying the man to castrate my cattle, and took affront that he boxed one into the jaw. We're an odd creature, humans. 

Still, I think you should find a new argument.

Ok but now you're on the side of both slavers and rapists. I agree that just giving people money isn't going to fix things though.

I'd see it as just if white individuals did something to raise up black people. I think that's an idea worth promotion too.

@MisterChris
I'm not talking about forcing anyone to do anything. I don't much think reparations is a good idea or that it would help resolve racial tensions.

But black people in America are pretty much fresh out of slavery, and that's something that needs some sort of management.

I slept with a nurse before who told me I was circumcised. I asked my mam, she let on nothing. I think she's in on it.

I do think the most of American politics is still around the black people thing tbh. Greyparrot uses the word "racist" 15 times a day. In my country, we bulldoze bad neighbourhoods, let greater society normalise former inhabitants. It seems to work. That's maybe taking away an identity from a person though, don't think that'd work for you guys. Fuel to the fire, maybe, a little bit.

Once you punish one man for another's crime, you've become an evil regime. 
You don't have to see it as punishment, there's fairness in it too. Free a slave into a society that's fresh out of slavery, well, his lot's improved, but by how much?

There's societal imbalance there, tipped in the white man's favour.

@whiteflame
I'd prefer if my report on TUF was a guilty one lol. Him being innocent and mafia would also mean Pie went the first NP without lawyering his partner, even though he claimed miller himself D1. I'm chewing on it too, trust me. Also interesting how Pie put Earth on hammer yesterday, but pinging him. I am not sure how to read that tbh. I'm being lazy here too tbh, and my mafia game obviously ain't what it used to be, but I guess, as to the Wylted read, hindsight is 20/20. That above post by Wylted definitely speaks to him seeing me investigate you. He even throws in a bit about a hint at the end.

I think he is over explaining himself and it seems artificial. Self conscious even. I believe in dp1 post 45, badgers get instincts kicked in and spotted him as scum.

I also see why chris was NKed, it was pretty obvious by page 2, his role was joat. He hinted too strongly

This post by Wylted makes it pretty obvious he saw me visit you. He goes from me and my instincts to also seeing why Chris was visited.

Merely pointing it out, it's your game to win or lose now. I think I'd lynch TUF 9 times out of 10 here, just because Earth is Alphonse, but I don't like reading like that either.

Reading back, Wylted, as tracker, said he trusted my report on you 100%. He had said earlier on that he had forfeited his action, but interesting still, right?

@Earth
It's different on other sites, but yeah since your claim is BP and not BG it's irrelevant. I had hoped honestly that would claim you were ninja'd which would then verify my report on TUF, but guess not.

In fairness, Pie claimed D1 and pushed on the Elric brothers. In one way, that's easy to scumread. In another way, that's really fucking town lol.
