Ok, why is it so fucking sensitive?

[TERROR^SS]

How can everyone be so brainwashed and think of a subject as so sensitive it can't even be discussed?

I made a thread, two times, being ironic with all the televised lootings in New Orleans shown as made by black people. It could actually be the truth that TV is making it look like that while actually white people do it just as much. God knows TV has turned peoples minds in worse ways than that.

But my question remains, why the fuck can't we even discuss it, is it better to just shut up and hope the problems goes away?

I know, nothing made racism in sweden go up as much as when they banned showing the swedish flag in public. Politicians try to gain political points trying to prove wich one of them is more antiracistic. This leads to absurd debates, such as banning an icecream brand (wtf?), wich in turn leads to people with no racistic feelings whatsoever getting sick of all the bullshit from politicans and taking it out on immigrants.

I admire alot of black people, Im heavy into early blues from the delta. Many of my heroes are black, Son House, Bukka White etc. We are different, for good and for bad. When I can discuss how ridicoulusly inferior white blues musicians are, and how terribly stiff and boring swedish people are in comparison to allmost any other nationality, let me for fucks sake point out how eastern europeans fuck up my country.

Many countries in europe have laws against even questioning aspects of the holocaust and will put you in prison for doing so. When the proofs are so crystal, why not invite the revisionists to a TV studio to an open debate for all to see. If they are wrong, it will put an end to all the conspricay theories that are now growing in the dark.

Ill make another example, what I wrote in the deleted thread was this:

"TV discriminating and racist
They only show black people looting the stores in New Orleans, while white people are shown as decent and lawabbiding."

If its the truth, why get pissed at me, I'm just pointing it out. If I'd written this instead:

"TV discriminating and racist
They only show white serial killers while black people never seem to get that sick and twisted.

People would just shake their heads and move on to the next thread thinking "Yeah so what, Its just the way it is, most serialkillers are white, deal with it kiddo". Atleast Im sure no white person would get offended by it.

Dear TERROR^SS, the problem is your approach, which appears both sarcastic and troll-ish. I'm sure you could've introduced your viewpoints with more tact.

[TERROR^SS]

trollish :D Thx

One thing that's always bothered me, something that never comes up is what if it's not that they SHOW more black people as looters on TV as much as there simply ARE more black looters. It's simple, you position X number of reporters with cameras in random places all over town and they film any looting going on in that area. If there are more instances of black looters being on film, then maybe something is up?

I don't know. It's ridiculous that someone would notice this sort of thing, and then immediately get pissed off about it.

whilst i tend to agree with you, continually reposting threads isnt a good idea. if you disagree with the moderation, come to #waw_admins or pm scav

EDIT: why does everyone see the looting as a problem? people are (mostly) doing it to save lives and try to live through the crisis, and the huricane hsa done a shitload of damage, a little bit more isnt going to hurt. better to loot the whole damn city than have people dying because they didnt have food and water

Looting for food I can understand, but no one needs a Sony flatscreen TV to survive.

I just really don't care.

But, I do think its rather douchebaggy of you to accuse everyone of being so brainwashed and to not have the moral fortitude to discuss a topic. While you try to stand there like some pillar of right, by not being "brainwashed" and being able to discuss such a "sensitive" topic with your great mental capacity.

Well let's see here.
In the New Orleans News segments, they only show black people looting, while white ppl are shown as lawabbiding decent people.

Isn't that just awful? ;) Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with the "sarcastic and troll-ish" description. Followed up by immediately calling everyone brainwashed is a nice touch, though.

You would do well to familiarize yourself.

As long as I'm posting quotes...
-- Take a hint, idiot.....next comes a ban.


Indeeeed. And lookie here, you've already had your 1 day ban (spamming, from a few weeks ago, by me), AND your 3 day ban (flaming, aug 14, by swat) AND your 7 day ban (last week, yet more flaming, "YOU are a waste of time, to us, to your parents and to the rest of the world", friendly huh? By me) so let's see...

You've already been tempbanned twice for being a dick. This is #3: 1 week. Next up is a permanent ban. Yep. If you wish to debate any of this, come see us in #waw_admins, attempting to evade the ban will lead to an IP ban, don't say I didn't warn you.

Bye now.
