"Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the overwhelming majority of whites have next to zero advantages stemming directly to slavery. No one I have EVER met is wealthy because of some past family slave driven income. I'm sure there are some left out there, but not many."

liked this part better.

Himu · « **Reply #7922 on:** October 21, 2011, 11:36:06 AM »

Yeah man, after slavery was abolished southern whites who owned them just like, lost all their wealth.

That said, while I'll be first to admit that slavery has an impact on today's black Americans, I do think that in many cases some really DO need to get over it. The victim complex is mighty, mighty powerful. I think both arguments have a point but they're both on one extreme that fail to see the real picture. Black folks who blame their circumstance ENTIRELY on the past without trying and try to make an effort to make excuses for themselves are about as bad as the people who say the past doesn't matter -- not even a little bit, like, it doesn't matter at all.

The past affects us, but don't act like blacks are only just a victim. It's a complex issue. Dreams Vision's post should have closed the thread due to its accuracy.

I also like how some of these people have built up in their heads this huge cognitive dissonance. Rap is not a contributor. It really isn't! Saying rap is a contributor is not the same thing as (foolishly) entirely placing all the blame on rap. Culture is often a reflection of what a society upholds. Rap is a direct result of these problems, but it also helps reinforce and enable these problems. It's a cycle.

Through rap you can find the greatest ills in the black American community, ranging from the homophobia, to straight up misogyny. But rap isn't going to help make things better if it expresses such messages as it serves as a means of validating such negative connotations with the culture to begin with.

C'est la vie.

But really, have these people ever looked at the top 40's for other decades? 90% of it is all shit.

John Carmack is still a brilliant programmer, but he's chased away every other highly talented person who worked for id with his autistic behaviour, up to and including his own fucking brother, and it shows. It really, really shows.

Interesting, I'd love to hear more about this... I don't know much about Carmack apart from him being a coding genius.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masters_of_Doom

Goes into a little bit of it in general. Not All.

Oscar pretty much nailed it with his post above. Carmack is a genius but back in the day there was a battle between design and tech at id and Carmack won the battle and romero lost it. At the time everybody celebrated because Carmack was the good guy and Romero was the bad guy. Say what you will about Romero (and there is a lot of legit ill to say) he was right in the sense that the id of old was hitting a dead end.

Id is the company they are because of Carmack and that's both a good thing and bad thing at this point. And like a lot of geniuses I'm sure Carmack must be an annoying asshole to work with/for. It often comes with the territory.

Houston's radio made a huge dip in the 00's and it's partly why I moved my music listening from radio to seeking out new music via the internet.

94.5 The Buzz (houston's alternative rock station) played good music. Sometimes. But it depended wholly on what time of day it was. At night time I loved The Buzz and -- when I was a teenager and it was a rock station and not the crappy Mexican station that replaced it -- 101.1.

I found that listening to the rock stations was FAR more bearable listening to the rap or top 40 stations. Sometimes.

Of course, 102.1 The Box (r&b and soul) is still awesome. Sometimes.

The biggest culprit for Houston radio during the 2000's was 97.9 the Box. It was the rap/r&b station and it turned to absolute donkey balls. Gone were the great DJs (T-Gray!) and night shows (Say What You Wanna Say!) and replaced by complete filth.

Houston has killed a number of my favorite radio stations over the years. 91.7, 95.7 The Wave, 98.5 The Box (best station ever

)

To be fair, it's pretty easy to make a really crappy OT. As a web design guy (maybe) it sort of bothers me to the point where I do work a bit on the OTs I make. And damn if I don't wear it as a nerd badge of pride/shame.

99% of the OT's over there are exactly what is wrong with GAF. Nerds taking a hobby way too seriously and turning something fun (videogames) into a dick measuring contest. It's a discussion board. You don't need expansive OTs' for videogames, or albums, or movies, or any of that shit.

99% of the OT's over there are exactly what is wrong with GAF. Nerds taking a hobby way too seriously and turning something fun (videogames) into a dick measuring contest. It's a discussion board. You don't need expansive OTs' for videogames, or albums, or movies, or any of that shit.

It's how I express myself.

I don't see the harm in it. The only problems I have is when OPs contain like everything about a game and it becomes so long nobody ever reads it.

Me personally, when I do an OT I can't stop until I myself don't nitpick it anymore. The perfectionist in me. It's not about measuring dicks or any of that stuff, that's never been why I've made an OT or a website or anything.
