User Banned (2 weeks): inflammatory generalization and hostility, history of the same

Super Corona Bros Ultimate is leading the registration leaderboard? Smash kids can't shower let alone be trusted to even wash their hands.

None of my schools ever did mock elections. Probably would have caused a mini riot in 2004 tbh.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/we-need-to-have-a-serious-talk-about-the-way-the-black-electorate-is-discussed-on-here.173269/post-29615221

I've come to understand that this is extremely common with white people in general and it's been a big topic of conversation this election cycle. I listened to Osita Nwanevu talk to Jane Coaston about this on a Vox podcast before Super Tuesday. I don't normally listen to the podcast but was recommended the episode just for perspective on this specifically.

White people are insulated by white supremacy and therefore do not have as much to lose by taking risks. White leftists in particular who may feel like they have nothing to lose due to their economic or medical situation are really aggressive about what they're willing to do. But even folks like this (of which I am one) are not at the same risk as black Americans should these plans fail. It's not fair to expect or demand black voters to take the same risks we are willing to take as white people when the consequences for them could be so much worse if it fails.

When white people's plans fail, it can be defeating or embarrassing but many have the luxury of going back to their normal lives. When black people's plans fail, their lives may never be the same.

So when black people are not willing to take the same risks to achieve the same goals, some white people just cannot understand this. Their inability to understand why a black person would not take the same risks as them causes them to say a lot of the things you outline here. It all boils down to believing black people don't know what's good for them.

Black people have experience with navigating racial inequality and surviving white supremacy so it seems pretty elementary to trust them when they say they're not willing to do things the same way white people want to - even if they have the same goals. I think white people on the Left struggle a lot with the fact that they are trying to help minorities and reduce racial disparity but without actually talking to or involving a lot of black people.

I can't fault black people for voting for Joe Biden, even though I didn't. Contrary to what a lot of white people think, black people are pretty good at knowing what's best for them to survive in this country.

I remember voting for Bill Clinton in our mock election because another kid said that his parents lost their jobs because of Bush. Also one kid voted for Perot and everyone laughed at him.

And that child...was benjipwns.

I basically made the same joke and got no likes, this forum is just a popularity contest.
It’s a like eat like world out there.

[thisismyusername]

I hate you so much, KissVibes.

[Akala]

Not the kid from above I don't think, but we did mock elections back in the day, and I picked Perot for some reason. I couldn't persuade the Clinton kids, but I totally converted all of the ones that initially wanted Bush.

I don't remember the details, but it ended up with someone presenting my eleven or twelve-year-old ass with a ROSS PEROT FOR PRESIDENT pocketknife that I still have around here somewhere.

 

[Coitus]

Era want to reduce negative stereotypes by *checks notes* having a userbase of angry black men end every argument by playing the race card and avoiding any responsibility for their own actions or leave any room for introspection on their own failings

It's been repudiated 4 times now. US D primary 2016, UK 2017 (Labour won seats in areas similar to the ones dem flipped in 2018's house elections, not working class areas), UK 2019, US D primary 2020 all keep showing the same pattern. Thankfully we're seeing the blowout in a primary again here instead of a general like the UK.

That's the worse part about this whole thing. He's insufferable.

I like how the invention of terminology gives them the freedom to start banning people for things they've never banned before. It's like discovering a new color to paint with.

Truth bombs

I see the bern bro’s are already out here crying about how Bernie can win vs trump but yet somehow can’t even fucking win in his own party.
Social media and your circle of friends are not all of America. Bernie isn’t as popular as you think he is.

It's like these people didn't just watch their socialist mate in the UK get absolutely demolished by Trump-lite.

I think that was more because Labor is split on Brexit. Another Labor leader would have lost too.

Whole site should go hidden from non registered users IMO. Just have a sign up login page visible to the public at large.

stop giving bork ideas ResetERA.com

[shosta]

This is due to issues and topics often being examined through the lens of the dominant group first and foremost, even when it concerns minorities.

People can't post unless they've examined it from an experiential lens that they allegedly don't have? 

[shosta]

Ignorance is not an excuse either.

Minority members shouldn’t be getting banned for confronting bannable posts on the site itself.

the double standard

For members who try to police black language, we’re going to be more actively actioning that kind of thing.

the word bitch is now ok

Holy shit this is way longer than I thought it would be

we’re going to more closely monitor reports against minority members

ban teflon!

Not only will we try to participate in it actively, but we’ll have a message that every poster will see right above their reply box telling them that this is a thread about a sensitive issue and that they need to be careful about how they go about posting in it.

CITIZEN, YOU ARE BEING MONITORED

There was also a lot of interest in moving the Black Culture Thread to the main Etcetera forum for this reason. As such, we will be granting this request, and also making the thread invisible to guests.

holy fucking shit

That said, we are, and have always been, willing to offer new accounts to those who might need them due to concerns for their privacy. We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again.

There was some concern about dogwhistles being missed by the team, as these can be difficult to spot for people who don’t have lived experiences on these issues.

We can’t make this community perfect, but we want to get as close as we possibly can, with your help.

As always... #TrustTheProgress

This is so perfect on every level. It's a whole set of Jim Crow laws for normal posters. I love every word.

[shosta]

I'm glad they hid the black culture thread from guests because I absolutely do not want to see it.

I can confirm that Asian Era is one of the communities that we plan to reach out to next.

you missed the best part; the post that got him banned 

[shosta]

Fuck, you were right. This is the good shit.

The sad fact is that black voters don’t even know what Bernie stands for. A majority of us see “Oh that’s Joe Biden who was VP to Obama! I’ll vote for him!” Damnit man. We’re gonna get Trump for 4 more years.

You sure about that?

Y’all are not understanding just how big Biden is with older black people here in Virginia. I live near Norfolk and all I’ve been hearing is “Biden this and Biden that” and “If we vote Biden, it’ll be like getting Obama back”. I’m not saying black voters are idiots, but they are definitely misinformed.

Dog whistle: obliterated.

[BisMarckie]

It's frankly absurd you don't recognize that there are more than 1 sole person who is doing something about it. That you want a Lefty Jesus to save the world and make everything better and disregard the actual process and struggle and tedium and, yes even compromise that moves the world forward. If your mad about kids in cages then you press those in power about it. Mad about drug prices? Press those in power about it. Declaring that those in power themselves are irredeemable and everything needs to burn is a recipe not for change but for stasis, and it's what conservatives count on.

No one wants to read it.  It's a brain dead chat room with a group of people trying to keep it real by typing in ebonics.  "'Sup fam, what's good?"  Ugh.  Fucking shoot me.

And LOL at those black summit meeting notes.  I work at a Fortune 100 finance company and help develop systems that move millions of dollars per day and even our formal internal procedure documents are less wordy that that, much less meeting notes.  These people take themselves WAY too fucking seriously.

This reminds me of a Hillary '16 shirt/jersey I saw at good will.

It was hanging at the end of the aisle, clearly on the "display" spot. The shirt was in good condition, but was clearly worn and used to many special event. I can see it in vignette style slowly getting move further and further to the back of the closet as the owner keeps panning it aside, "Not this time" as they choose their neutral blue shirt instead. Suddenly there's no more room in the closet and it must be taken down and stuff into a bottom drawer sometime, "Don't worry, I'll never forget about you" before the darkness sets in. Brief glimpses of light as the drawer opens and closes day in and day out.   Then during winter cleanup suddenly it emerges from the bottom of the drawer, gets pressed up against a body in the mirror to see if it fits, who is that? that's not my owner, what where am I? Goodwill?
