QuoteThere have been unfortunate tensions in this thread and others about the fact that some perpetrators of recent anti-Asian violence have been black or other POC, and some folks have been interested in stoking division between these communities and pitting them against each other. That's not okay.It's fine to discuss the background of these attackers, but when we do that it should be done holistically. For example, in this case and many others, the attacker has a history of violent crime and there is a discussion to be had about whether the justice system and attempts at rehabilitation are working. There's a discussion to be had about whether the DAs and police in these cities are doing their jobs properly and making them safe for all residents.What's not okay is fixating solely on the race of the perpetrators and making inflammatory generalizations based on a handful of cases. It is not okay to suggest that a few violent, repeat criminals are representative of the black community. It is also not okay to suggest that these attacks were somehow provoked by anti-black attitudes in the Asian community. All of this ignores that some of the worst recent incidents were carried out by white men.Don't make inflammatory generalizations period. Members that appear more interested in stoking divisions between marginalized groups than in having a constructive discussion will be banned.These fuckers

It seems to change depending on whatever we're mad about that month so if we could keep it constantly updated too that would be greatLook, its very simple; people aren't a monolith, unless a protected poster is stating an opinion as cultural fact shared by that entire monolith, and people that disagree are fake / internalised self hatred etc.

I wonder how many of the *ahem* more animated and opinionated Black ERA members come straight from Thecoli.com forums.
Neogaf went alt-right.Resetera went alt-left.While we just talk about video games and console wars in here.
Both places are full of themselves. They claim to be so progressive, but they end up being rather oppressive.
we/black community are conservative, religious and we don't really fukk with cheeseburgers or the LGBTQwe are the opposite of resetera which are predominately posters that wear purple hair, post queer shyt like Reggie and have 30 body piercingsas I said before, Hate to admit it but it seems like Alt right care more about freedom than Alt left.and all our freedoms here might have something to do with itwe alt right breh, but we gonna be alright.
Right wingers and Thecoli both agree onWomen should be second class citizensWomen should not flaunt their sexualityBlack women are dependent on welfare, attention, other people (usually men's) moneyNo LGBTQCries about free speech in terms of making fun of othersFocus on the Nuclear familyAnd much more. The main difference that a WS will call you a n***** after agreeing with you for an hour
The purpose of this discussion is to start thinking about ways to bridge the gap on a micro level rather than a macro level.Recently, often times in the numerous threads centered on the topic of racism, it's become more of a commonality of aggression between members from both of these communities specifically. Most of the time the discussion surrounding these topics have been on topic, and provides nuanced discussion by the members of the forum. However, more often than it should, it has also revealed a significant divide from many of the members from both of these communities.Much of the time, these discussions will start rolling into a discussion of personal experiences and perceptions of the opposite community, whether it was taught them, or something heard in their community, and then using those examples to define the other community as a whole. Throughout these threads, doing this have only shown to create a bigger rift and divide between these two communities here, and have increased the hostility with one another.Banning those who have gone to the extent of fueling these fires are fine, but it's clear there is still tension which exist for many users from both communities. Whether it'd be mild, or bordering on severe, I don't feel that we should wait until all of the users here are gotten to that point of severe and just end up getting banned, which just doesn't actually solve the underlying problem which still exists within these forums.To me, this is a significant issue that I feel we need to all do better with, and let's start making that happen here with a more specific approach in addressing the issue.A few things that I want to note before people start posting, and it's just things to consider as this conversation starts rolling.There is nothing wrong with sharing your personal experiences and background in your engagement with the other community. In fact, I would prefer everyone share their experiences regarding their perspectives on this topic. However, one thing that I do not want this to turn into is that your experiences are then used to speak to the other community as a whole, or used as an attack on the other community. Any single action does not define a community. Consider the purpose of sharing your experiences, background, and stories. You should share these stories in hopes of helping those in the other community better understand your perspective.This is a collaborative effort, not a singular one. Be respectful of everyone's perspectives on this topic, as long as they are respectful as well. If you feel someone is not being respectful to the core of the discussion, just report the post to the moderation rather than derail the discussion. The intent and purposes of this thread is to work together on better understanding each other. This will be more difficult if we don't respect the space of which we all share together. This isn't a demand, but just a request for a sign of respect for one another.Feel free to ask each other questions if you see a post that you want further clarification on, or if you feel there is misinterpretation somewhere. Often times, in these kinds of threads where the topic can get heated quite readily, I feel that patience and clarity can often resolve any misunderstanding easier than not. Ask questions, even if you just want to make a post to the communities in general on a question you may want answered, feel free to ask them. Unless it's a question that doesn't respect a particular person or the communities, then you should be ready to come in with a curious and open mind.Often times, when we are making suggestions and solutions in these threads on the topics of racism, we tend to go with more of the macro approach of engaging with the topic outside of these forums, and things that could be done to bridge those divides. But I feel that in order to truly engage with those discussions, we have to first bridge the divide on a micro level within these forums and the community members.Anyone can feel free to comment. You don't have to belong to either one of these communities to provide your perspective. However, I do want to avoid any personal experiences as it relates to, "I have a friend who says...", if you're not a part of the community. Two reasons for this. Third hand experiences are never helpful when discussing issues such as this. I would prefer you not sympathize with the situation, but empathize with it, and empathy can only be done if the poster is willing to listen more than they're ready to speak. Make sure the comments you contribute engage the discussions from your perspective, and that would be the best way you can contribute.If you feel that moderation has been an issue surrounding both of these topics, I feel that would be better served for another thread, and not in this one. Everyone can have their opinions on how moderation engages with these topics, but that's not really the purpose of this topic, and can be better served by just sending a message to moderation concerning particular issues. This is neither here or there. The purpose of this thread is for these two communities to engage in meaningful discussion to try and resolve this current division we have with one another, and we should focus on that more than anything else right now.I am looking forward to the discussions we can all have together on this topic.What can we do to start bridging this gap here on Era within these two communities?
Someone open with a penis size joke to "bridge the gap", pls.

Both Seth Rogan and James Franco are evil people, imho.
Sorry, I got angry for a split second and just "mouthed off" there.From what I understand: I just don't like his liberalism and him working with CIA/FBI intelligence for some of his films.It comes off... Well, just shameful, in my eyes. I don't hate him or even dislike him, but I just feel that he's a Hollywood type through and through. Also, I genuinely don't like his work, ahahaha.But yes, I lost my cool there.Frankly, the problem with Hollywood is that we have too many people that are liberals and not leftists, to put it mildly; they're content with how things are, for the most part, even if they sometimes shine a light on the "ills of society" or something.Anyways, rant over.Sorry that I startled some people; I don't mean to be some guy that's just out to "shock" people, but honestly, I just don't have much patience for the rich and celebrities, and Seth must've at least known Franco personally to some level so... Idk. Guess I just lost my cool.My apologies.
I take back what I said.I'm very sorry.
I hate Joe Rogan, but no.Frankly, I more confused him with most celebrities. Well, maybe he's not like the rest, but I genuinely don't like rich people even though life is more complicated than my hatred against the rich and powerful so... Yeah. Sorry. Lost my cool, probably over nothing.
Nothing. I genuinely lost my cool, probably over some stress.I hope that the mods will let this one go; sorry for diverting the topic. I did so inadvertently.
Whats a WS?
A successful white man killed a Japanese woman, his wife, in England in 1977. He served some time in a psychiatric institution before returning to his job.I feel like anyone referring to his rehabilitation should wonder if justice was actually served here.
This forum community has had a distinctly antagonistic tilt (outside of the individual communities) since the back half of the GAF days, in a way a lot of people feel they have to be assholes just to fit in.
When I say I don't know why, I don't mean to blame the platform in any way. This is ABSOLUTELY a personal failing.
i've been banned enough times from getting heated that i just don't bother engaging in much in-depth discussion anymore. i just care about getting my post count up. OP, the thing you have to understand is that no one on this forum will ever change their mind no matter how hard you argue your point, however good or bad. You waste your time trying to engage with some folks here and all it does is get you heated and banned. Because people will use that Report function as a "fuck you"if they feel even a tinge of disrespect. Best thing you can do is type out your thoughts in a reply, look at it, and delete it and ignore the thread. Keeps your blood pressure down and stops you from getting banned.
I've been lucky enough to not ever have been banned somehow, but it was enough for me to have a couple moments where I typed up a huge post, either about something I was passionate about or something I had a lot of knowledge of or just something I felt people were being unfair about, and having the response basically be "ok whatever that was, anyway here's my point again", to make me stop trying to get too deep on here. And we got quite a few people using the site as a debate forum.
Don't ban me, I'm just getting my post count up.

I think it's fairly easy to separate the two.I hope Musk dies or shuts the fuck up forever (either way it'd be a benefit for society).I also hope Tesla and SpaceX thrive (as both companies are doing good things despite being led by an egotistical, narcissistic, lying piece of shit).
This makes me so angry, I am a middle eastern man myself who is lgbt and I don't understand this, it's "shameful" to be gay but not shameful to murder your own family and behead them? The fuck, I hope they rot in jail.
Alireza Fazeli-Monfared, 20, was reportedly murdered by his brother and cousins on Tuesday (4 May) after they discovered the Iranian military exempted him from service because of “sexual depravities”.
I guess they found their Trump replacement to focus their never ending hate and aggression at. Expect near daily threads about Musk from here on out.Them not being able to "cancel" Elon Musk since he's rich as fuck and own his own companies must be driving them nuts though.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/kfc-spain-decides-that-racism-is-a-good-marketing-ploy.423686/Apparently Europeans are too busy with their own lives to know every single one of the racist stereotypes to come out of America. I imagine this thread gets turned into a bloodbath.
Uh I don't know guys. I'm vaguely aware that blacks liking fried chicken is a hurtful stereotype in the US (and apparently watermelon, too?) but if this ad was run here in Brazil no one would question the supposed racist undertones - because guess what, it's not a universal stereotype. The USA, Spain, Brazil, the West, everyone has their own stereotyping that is harmful if made to an audience that will see it as such. I don't think that this is the case for Spain.I apologize in advance for a terrible analogy but imagine a different ad. Imagine two bakeries and then you're shown people literally running from one of them where the baker is an Asian man doing pastries and then getting into the other that is owned by someone of whatever other ethnic group. International audiences would likely never see the potential harm in it, but here it'd be a scandal because it's stereotyped that Chinese pastries are made using dogs and pigeons as meat. Such an ad could be run pretty much anywhere else in the world and nobody would think race would factor in.Of course I might be wrong and this is also a horrible stereotype elsewhere that I didn't know about. Either way I hope I got my point across.
Whether or not its a stereotype outside America is irrelevant.KFC should no better!!!
I bet Nep is too scared to ban all the racists in that thread. I'd like to see her even trying instead of cowering away.
Quoteif i see another AS A BLACK MAN imma lose it lolFor real. Posts be tiring to read. It's like sorry, your experience doesn't negate decades of documented bigotry in advertising
if i see another AS A BLACK MAN imma lose it lol
Oh cool, it's my favorite time of day;When non-Black Era users tell Black people what is and isn't racist, because media and stereotypes definitely don't permeate international borders.Rule of thumb: If you're not Black and you're going to say something "isn't racist", maybe try shutting the fuck up?
