>>48398950
This place tends to wear away at people. It gnaws at your ambitions and social graces by cleverly simulating and subverting human interaction. The people that post here are real, but your connections and interactions with them are artificial. If you allow how you behave here to influence how you behave in real life, you are in a very bad place.

More insidious though, is the fact that many allow 4chan to supplant their requirements for human contact. It makes you lonely and emotionally hollow, but convinces your baser instincts that you've talked to people enough that you don't feel the drive to do it in real life.

This place is toxic and corrosive. Spend as little time here as you can, lest you spend more time than you'd imagine.

on the contrary, colored was the politically correct alternative at the time of it's original use. It developed a an undesirable connotation from being associated with an undesirable people and we will continue to cycle through new names for blacks until they are no longer seen as such.

Very correct. Small addition though - it's not the time of it's original use anymore. It's close to 70 years in the future.

>>48399281

The term from the "TIME WHEN WE ENSLAVED 'THEM' " is nigger, negro if you were being politically correct for that time. Colored was most popular around the late 50's to 70's. Also the politically correct term now is people of color, so what the hell is offensive about colored?

I give this bait 9.95/10 by the way.

>>48399289
How does that make it better? We still enslaved them. We had exclusively black people as slaves.

What's it like having Down Syndrome?

>>48399275

Yeah, it's out of rotation because it's inaccurate. The vast majority of black people in the USA have never even been to Africa, meaning it makes more sense to just call them... black. Because they're black.

Colored also had the inaccuracy issue, because literally every single person has a color. An uncolored person wouldn't be visible.

>>48399299
woah there bud, why you getting so fucking upset about it
this is 4chan, a little casual racism isn't exactly a big deal

>>48399303
But what about the current version, people of color? also check your privilege opaque shitlord.

>>48399294
Colored is a term from the era where Jim Crow laws were still mostly in effect, so it's still bad.

I don't agree with POC because it's used for other ethnicities too, basically creating two groups, POC and white people.

I just call them black. If you need to refer to a group of them, call them black people.

>look at that black guy
>look at those black people
>that guy was black
>those people were black

Literally the simplest thing ever.

>>48399317
Don't agree with the current version. I think it's dumb. We should just use black.

POC is useful if you want to refer to non-whites.

What is this, cultural history with /pol/? "Colored" never really gained an "undesirable connotation," anon. It was phased out in favor of "black" in the 60s, as a way of reclaiming the word from people who would use it as a demeaning term.
What little negative tone it did gain was only after it stopped being current, as it's kind of old-fashioned and makes you sound like an old fart who refuses to change his mind. The kind of old person who complains about "those people" taking away a perfectly good word like "gay" when they could have just kept calling them "perverts."


(Black is the best term IMO. James Brown couldn't sing "Say it loud! I'm African American and pretty much okay with that.")

>>48399363
I love how the term "moralfag" is derogatory.

It LITERALLY means "decent person". How the hell did you swing that, 4chan?

>>48399317

People of color is bullshit and I've never heard a single black person use it in real life (I'm in Alabama. I live around, work with and am friends with basically 50% black people for reference). That's the kind of thing a frothing SJW would use in their facebook rant without putting any thought behind what it means whatsoever.

>>48399395
I think it has less to do with the "-fag" suffix as "individual that partakes in" and more with "individual who causes trouble by taking too far". Which, granted, is less common and not very intuitive given the extreme prevalence of the former.

>>48399395
It usually refers to overly-moral holier-than-thou people, the kind who scream or thumb their noses at you for not acknowledging multiple genders and pronouns. SJWs, essentially.

>>48399342

Morality doesn't exist in any meaningful way. You can be a decent person without needing some arbitrary system of rules to tell you whether you're being nice or not. It's all pointless bullshit with no connection to reality.

Still not racist by the way, meaning >>48399363
is doubly stupid.

>>48399395
I believe the term is mainly for those who try to hard to seem better than decent but ultimately just makes them more autistic.

Obviously there are times when it's used by closeted edge lords for normal people, but it can also be used by normal people to describe those who go too far in the opposite direction too.

Jesus, you ARE retarded. You have to be, to try to parse that sentence in a weird-ass way like that.
Explain how you reclaim something by phasing it out. Go ahead, I'd love to hear it.

Colored was discarded, so that black could be taken back from those who were using it as an insult. Colored was not being used as an insult, it was the accepted term up until the late 60s, and up to the mid 70s.

Get better friends OP

It seems yours checked their dicks in a long time ago

>>48399019
I really don't see a meaningful difference in saying colored compared to the current PC phrase "people of color." Not that it would matter since I know plenty of "poc" who are racist against black people.

God it's so fucking stupid to divide people into white and non-white

>>48399631
you're either esl or deliberately acting retarded. What reaction do you think you're getting from this? Because at the moment it's confusion and mild distaste.

>>48399654

I'm baffled at how you can parse it like that. Sure, "the word" is somewhat ambiguous there, but contextual clues make it obvious which word it is -- phasing something out is the opposite of reclaiming it. The word being reclaimed is obviously not the one being phased out. How the hell can you not follow that?

>>48399672
>>48399654

I've lost track about who was arguing about what. Someone make an affirmative statement.

>>48399708

Colored was not a derogatory term when it was replaced with "black."

>>48399672
The previous sentence's contextual clues point at colored as the word being phased out and "in favor of" denotes the word it was succeeded by, "black". Not to mention the fact that black did in fact come after colored. Please pay attention in your next English class.

>>48399020

I would make the mild counter-argument that, for some, this is the primary and only viable means to embrace their hobby, and to engage in discussion thereof.

Or, I guess, their preferred version, as some people find more heavily moderated forums to be creatively stifling, or unwilling to discuss the aspects of their hobbies they wish to focus on.

And still others who can use the anonymous forum here to vent frustrations in a minimally-socially-damaging way, allowing them to better engage in day to day life.


It's one of those tricky situations, like alcohol consumption. You can binge drink every weekend, and not be an alcoholic, because you DO possess the ability to stop, and aren't emotionally or physically reliant on it, but another guy has to steel himself at every dinner and get-together, to avoid making a fool of himself.


I'm not saying you're wrong, it's definitely important to spend time with actual people, and make real connections, but having fun on 4chan isn't necessarily the worst thing.

>>48399720

It's incredibly obvious contextually. There are two terms "the word" could be referring to, and no one is stupid enough to say that something had no "undesirable connotation" then continue on to say in the very next sentence that they were reclaiming that same word that /did/ have a negative connotation. The second half of the second sentence is referring to the most recently referenced word, the one that was not explicitly said to have no negative connotations and therefor be impossible to reclaim.

There's definitely better arguments than the "we enslaved them" line, human history is unfortunately rife with enslavement, and none of it had any racial bent to it till the late 1700s, There were just as many europeans enslaved by africans and other europeans, not to mention all the slave trade in other places of the world, even amoungst we call "civilized" when we look back on them.

No. This is incredibly wrong. First of all, the connotation of moralfag was derogatory from the start, as should be fucking obvious by including the word 'fag'. It has more or less the same meaning as "white knight", and these days is confunded with the SJW degenerate leftists. These are people obsessed with shallow morals and victimizing ideals and delusions of importance.

AND THERE IS THIS FAGGOT.
Look at me. No, I said look at me, you fucking piece of shit.
The society of today is all about NOT ACTUALLY TALKING TO PEOPLE.
Today, you can just face-tweet and insta-google, thinking that you have a bunch of friends, but the truth is that you've never actually ever talked to them face-to-face.
Look at the faggots on Facebook and Twitter, who are circlejerking in their web of connections that are worth absolutely nothing.
I despise the social media of today for devaluing the worth of actual human communication.
I don't want to like, follow and subscribe, and I don't want to share things with people. I don't feel the need to share my every living moment with others, in some sort of twisted parody of 1984, where it isn't the Big Brother that watches you - it is you who are willfully giving up your privacy for all others to see.
At least, on 4chan, there is no need to upkeep your image of an "upstanding citizen". At least here, where we're at least partially hidden by the facet of anonymity, we can be ourselves.
But even 4chan isn't devoid of all the flaws that today's social media has.
Look at the rampant Internet tribalism. Look at the all echo chambers that are spawned all over the Tumblr, Reddit, 4chan or any other thematical forum you can name.
People don't want to listen. They want only to talk.

I would actually argue that anonymity and the ability to speak without facing some form of social repercussion actually DOESN'T make you yourself.

One of the major facts of life is that actions should and ultimately do have consequences and when you remove any potential consequences from social interaction all it does it turn on the monkey part of your brain that makes you scream about niggers because who gives a shit I can be a fuckwit all I want.

I really hate the people of this board and their positively juvenile opinions about every single fucking subject, especially because most of them are NARP faggots that spend all day autistically "theory crafting" and "worldbuilding" and "muh video game/war game lore" and being completely obsessed with "magical realm" and the 100% fictitious greentext "storytime" bullshit.

It's a fucking disaster of a board but it's the only fucking place to discuss RPGs so I'm forced to interact with these slimy, spineless, gutless, brainless, dickless cuckolded faggots, nigger.

Should have gone with jive.

>OP, you missed an opportunity to use any number of secret languages used by black people living in the New World when they were enslaved. That's the real tragedy here, not your privilege getting checked.
This.

>>48400468

Nope, segregated things were labeled with "colored" specifically because it was the polite term at the time, because government always loves a polite "fuck you."
You didn't call yourself black at first because colored was an unpleasant term, but rather because black was cool, and it was a way for black people to choose a term for themselves instead of having one given to them by somebody else. Some black folks resisted this and wanted to stay with "colored" because black had been pejorative for so long -- even among black folks, you'd hear it used as an insult. (If the guy was really mad he'd add African to really drive home the point that you were an uncultured idiot. "You a black African!" was an invitation to a fistfight in some places.)

After "colored" went out, people began to associate it with the segregationist era and practices, but that's after the fact.

>>Mfw I am racist but didn't realize I was that racist.
You'd only be racist if you thought it was something all or most black people talk like, or that having that sort of dialect crop up mean that black people are inherently stupid.

Ideally it would be more or less the same joke as the "excuse me ma'am, I speak jive" stuff from Airplane.
There's also a nonzero chance you just executed the joke like an idiot and it came off as racist if you took it too far. I can see it coming off like a minstrel show.

>unable to express an intelligent educated opinion without being restricted by the consequences of social ostracism

If the opinion is in fact intelligent and educated against scrutiny (and that's an IF) then I'd argue that's a fault of the society.

Although then I'd argue if a society even ALLOWS for scrutiny then there's a chance them going against your opinion is already indicative of its quality.

Being called a cracker doesn't send us into a tizzy the way being called literally anything but the latest term your activist shepherds have dreamed up. Don't you get it? We won, we have nothing to be sensitive about. "Racist" was the only word you had that actually had the power to hurt a white person's feelings, and like a bunch of stupid apes you overused it and its power waned.

>>48401737
I meant in OP's particular scenario, where they think black people are infantile and can't take or joke.
Or dish back an equally racist joke at the white people that they can have chuckle at.

>>48399019
Not that guy you were responding to, but this always confuses the fuck out me.

I'll be honest, I grew up in Georgia and many colored folk prefer being called that. They get angry at being called African-American (which implies that they're not just Americans) and they don't like being called black either.

But when I went to other parts of the country, colored folk got angry at being called that and get offended at being called black and said they liked being called African-American.

I honestly try not to be racist. Is there a term you can call people with dark skin that won't get everyone offended at you, or are you just fucked no matter what?

Arab is a very diverse language, not a surprise considering its geographical extension.
However, I've heard an anedocte, I think it was on reddit, someone's arab grandmother called blacks by an old term that also meant slave.

This thread is literally making me racist against American black people.

You motherfuckers are seriously the biggest goddamn babies and need to be walled off from everyone else until you solve your problems and this towering inferiority complex that makes you rename yourselves constantly because your race will always, deep down, be a dirty word to you. You are worse than Romanians, at least they are proud to be thieving scum.

>>48401800

But everything is racism nowadays, it literally is normal. Existing as a white person is racist. Speaking is racist if you're white. Enforcing the law is racist. There is no way to avoid being a racist if you are white, so either you self-flagellate and twist yourself into a specific ideology of repentance for your blood-sins or you stop giving a fuck and go on trying to judge people solely by merit like your father raised you to do.

It's called "people-first language". White people have decided that the problem with the term "colored people" isn't the fact that you're lumping everyone other than whites together, it's just the order you say the parts in.

The problem with this idea, despite your trips and dubs, is that it assumes that we can't tell the difference between typing on a screen and having an actual conversation with real people.

Hello, fellow black nerds. I, too, am of African descent and wish to join this serious discussion about our community. Yo, my n*ggaz.

You're all making me sick. I legitimately want to vomit.

How horribly racist can a board about board games get? Apparently very. You all have no compassion for POCs or (I'll hazard a guess) women or LGBT.

>Arab is a very diverse language, not a surprise considering its geographical extension.
As it turns out the line between dialect and language is very blurry and usually not consistent.

>>48409464
I suppose the problem is that many of the people that take offense at everything define themselves by their race, or that those who take offense at the behalf of others define them by their race.

For example, I don't define myself as white. I might say that I'm Swedish if someone asks, but at the same time I don't feel like I fit into the Swedish cultural norm very much, and I know that genetically I'm at least as much a Finn and Sami as a Swede, and probably have close ancestors from many other nearby and not so nearby countries as well, so I don't believe it much at all.

>>48411880

What I'm saying is that if society is tolerant and discerning enough to at least hear you out and after doing so still decide "Nah you're still a piece of shit" that probably indicates you're a piece of shit.

A polish man finds a lantern laying on the ground.
He takes it home and while cleaning it a genie appears.
The Genie says:
“For freeing me from the lantern, I shall grant you three wishes.”
The polish man thinks for a second and says “I'd really like it if the Mongols invaded Poland.”
The Genie is taken aback but grants him his wish. The mongols invade, ransack the countryside, rape burn and pillage, and then leave.
The Genie's a little horrified and says “W-what's your second wish.”
The man thinks for a moment and says “I wish for another mongol invasion of Poland, please.”
The Genie is at a loss for words, but grants him his wish.
The Mongol invade, destroy many towns, rape burn and pillage, and then leave.
The Genie says, “All right man, I think I know what's coming, but what's your third wish?”
The man thinks for a bit and says “You know, it'd be really really cool if the Mongols invaded Poland again.”
The Mongols invade, sack the capitol, carry away the royal family, rape burn and pillage, then leave.
The Genie looks at the man and says, "I'm, uh, going to be going now. Thanks again for freeing me, but can I just ask you, what the fuck, man? Seriously, what the fuck?"
The polish man looks at the Genie and grins, “Every time mongols invade Poland they have to invade Russia twice.”

So we finally have cat people whose distinctive accent is an overblown Brooklyn one as opposed to something I think is supposed to sound Middle Eastern but just comes across as weird?

You have to be fundamentally deranged to be human.

>exclusively black people as slaves
KeK get a load of this brainwashed narrative.
You Americans had more Irish slaves than anything in fact they were arround 80% of the slave population.

>b-but they couldn't have been slaves because they are white!

Fucking stupid kids not learning their own history properly.

Sure, that's right. The mainstream media just doesn't want us to know, right?

>>48429595
mostly yeah, don't worry too much about it. Most people abandon the thread once it turns to /pol/ shit, so its far from representative of the general posting population

So what did Bix Nood end up meaning anyway?

>>it's just poverty

>there are 195 million white people
>there are 19.6 million white people in poverty
>there are 41 million black people
>there are 10,7 million black people in poverty
>black people commit more than half the murder in the US
Amazing!

It's not a situation you can blame on a single group or boil down to a pithy soundbite.

Did you read the linked report?

>The figure also reveals that, since 2000, the number of people living in these neighborhoods has been increasing for the major racial and ethnic subgroups, including non-Hispanic whites, blacks, and Hispanics.8 In fact, the growth is fastest for non-Hispanic whites, rising 145 percent, from 1.4 million in 2000 to 3.5 million in the most recent data. Nevertheless, the minority residents of high-poverty areas are still more numerous than non-Hispanic whites. Blacks and Hispanics in high-poverty ghettos and barrios increased from 3.0 to 5.0 million and 2.2 to 4.3 million, respectively.

And here's a graph of the number, divided by race, in high-poverty neighbourhoods.

No, though I can see how you might take it that way. You can't just say "it's white people's fault." You can't say "it's black people's fault", or "it's poverty's fault", either. Is historical oppression a factor? Of course it fucking is. Is modern economic collapse and general urban decay a factor? You fucking bet. Are the actions of the government contributing to their own problems? Are the actions of black people and the black community contributing? I'd say yes. Are (as the above person has said) poor black people generally living in worse societal conditions than poor white people? This might be a surprising admission, but based on the report the Washington Post cited, the answer is still yes.

Is genetics a contributing factor? Based on the success of African immigrants I'm going to put that one down as a no. Is there discrimination based on stereotypes (with a basis in statistics) that nevertheless doesn't help the rest of the black community that aren't members of murderous gangs? Yes.

But if you just pick one and scream about it, ignoring the rest, it doesn't help fix the problem. It reduces it to a different, simple problem, with a simple solution whose implementation doesn't fucking help.
