Oct 26, 2018 just banned trent for a week for his racist comments about the central park five and in general in this thread, I got a lotta projects to finish and have to get all of my s--- out of my ex gf's apt by nov 1 so I don't have a lot of brain power to put into this forum rn but I'm all for cleaning house of people who contribute nothing. Sounds like zeb was already taken care of? I'm all for letting OT threads be a little more lenient with shitposting and such but virulent racism (trolling or not) in serious life/politics threads shouldn't be tolerated. Also: before we get into this "freedom of speech" s--- that some of yall are bound to whine about: this is a forum that is under ownership of a Saudi Arabian and a Canadian, so even if "freedom of speech" was guaranteed here (it isn't) the US constitution wouldn't matter for s---. I or any other mod/admin could ban or silence you for literally whatever reason we want.
Oct 26, 2018 I guess it depends if we want to let the forum flatline or make an attempt to save it. RB/SL/SXN80 in its early days were much more active than this forum is right now and had a lot more going on in terms of legitimate music discussion so it was easy to ignore this type of stuff if you wanted to. But when all that's left here is people sucking off kamikaze, starnizzy threads about koolo producing an album where Eminem converts to islam, and political threads that get derailed by poor attempts at racist trolling (there are some funny posts in here, don't get me wrong, but a lot more bad posts than good ones in that department)...it's not exactly gonna attract a worthwhile userbase, if it attracts new users at all.
Oct 26, 2018 Like CNN and others arent making Libs send risin powder in letters to trumps family or shooting up baseball practices? Neither the far left or far right are on the right side of history. Both are an embarrassment to the entire world
Oct 26, 2018 This ain’t a 50/50 thing, bro. Not everything is a both sides issue. Right wing violence is more prevalent than left wing violence. That’s a fact. Is ANTIFA violent at times? Yes. Did a loony lefty open fire on Scalise and others? Yes However, as a whole, right wing violence is more prevalent than left wing violence. And Trump’s rhetoric has emboldened certain folks to lash out and be violent.
Oct 26, 2018 Im sure for every article you post about some crazy right wing murderer I can find one about a nut job left wing murderer This shouldnt be the arguement though. We as people shouldnt be arguing "you guys k--- more people" all while attempting to k--- eachother, but instead figuring out how to stop the lunatics on both sides from trying to k--- people. Trump has become a problem. So have liberal politicians. As decent people we need to come together and condem both sides. Sadly, this will never happen with the way our political system is heading.
Oct 26, 2018 When has CNN ever advocated for their viewers to do any type of harm to Trump or his family? Trump literally praised a representative who body slammed a reporter like a week ago. He calls the media the “enemy of the people.” CNN has never done anything even remotely close to this.
Oct 26, 2018 Lol a CNN spokesman was literally using racial slurs about kanye west Also: https://www.cnn.com/2016/03/13/politics/thomas-dimassimo-donald-trump-protester-interview/index.html Don Lemon or whatever his name is defending people harrassing Ted Cruz: https://www.dailywire.com/news/12606/no-joke-cnn-regularly-encourages-assassination-john-nolte They also doxed some kid over a meme and threatened him on a public forum
Oct 26, 2018 Lol @ me for trying to be a reasonable person and pointing blame at both sides of the spectrum? I literally said trump is a major part of the violence problem
Oct 26, 2018 How does any of this correlate with “violence against trump & his family?” You’re just posting random CNN news clips that you don’t agree with. None of this is the same as trump bluntly praising a guy for beating up a reporter. Or trump claiming that the secret service should stop protecting Clinton to “see what happens.” Like, trump’s praise/advocation for violence is so blunt... you’re doing mental gymnastics trying to tie a CNN anchor believing that citizens protesting politicians they see in public “comes with the territory of being a public servant” to trump’s family being attacked? Like, what? How is that even connected at all?
Oct 26, 2018 Lol You working around all of the obvious points I was making made me remember why I dont post in political threads on here
Oct 26, 2018 What points? You literally just posted a bunch of CNN clips that you don’t agree with and/or you find are malpractice. I agree, anyone using racial slurs toward Kanye West is a s-----y person & shouldn’t be on the news. What does that have to do with advocating for violence against trump though? Nothing... You are dodging the fact that trump has indeed advocated for violence. You rather focus on CNN who literally had a bomb sent to their office as if that’s their own fault.
Oct 26, 2018 The false equivalency is mind boggling. Right wing violence, Trump’s rhetoric and right wing policies are what’s wrong with this country moreso than liberal politicians and “violent leftist mobs” One side wants to take healthcare away from kids and the poor, cut taxes for the rich and corporations and screw over working class folks... and that side casually encourages folks to run over protesters with cars while the President encourages violence at his rallies. Not to mention an oligarch body slammed a journalist, an emboldened neo Nazi mowed down a crowd and killed a protester, Proud Boys attacking lefty protesters in NYC, etc... Off the f---ing rails
Oct 26, 2018 Forgot to mention Trump called oligarch, elitist Greg Gianforte a “tough cookie” for body slamming a journalist I thought conservatives were all about free speech? Snowflake p-----s can’t handle pressing questions from journalists and end up turning to violence like the unhinged loonies they are
Oct 26, 2018 "media and press are jew fa---- bullshitters" - ice cube nobody bats an eye "dont trust media" - entire hip hop culture nobody bats an eye "fake news" - trump @Enigma goes on some period-fueled crusade on a hip hop forum saying it's an incitement of violenece and condemnation of anyone not-white good throwback enigma
