cant we all just get along?

Racism is a false premise, commited by people who are ignorant of the facts. There is only one race, to which we all belong, the Human Race. The only difference between a black person, and a white person is, the white persons ancestors left Africa before the black persons. The human race evolved in Africa, go back far enough and we are all Africans. You don't even need to go that far back. Science has shown us that approximately 70,000 years ago the human race was close to extinction, at most there were 74,000 people, at least, 3,000. I know this sounds convoluted but what it means is there is genetically almost no difference between us all. In fact, genetic studies have shown that there is much more genetic difference between, different families of mountain gorillas living on the same mountain, than there is between an Australian aborigine, and an Inuit. We are all basically the same, only fearful, ignorant people, abuse someone because of their colour or religion (or lack of religion), or culture. I say fearful because, unfortunately, there are some people who are afraid of anyone who isn't like them. I say ignorant because these same people don't understand (or want to understand) that there is no difference, only a perceived difference. That is why it is always important to speak out against bigoted comments or acts; to change perceptions. It has been said that, if you hear the same thing over and over, it starts to become true. This is why bigotry has flourished, the only way to end it, is to speak out against it, wherever it is, over and over. Never just walk away from a bigot, tell them what you know to be true. Plant a seed of doubt in their confused minds. If enough people tell them they're wrong, maybe, in time they'll come to see, that they are wrong. Its a long road, but the sooner we start down the road, the sooner we come to the roads end; respect and acceptance of all people.
Some of you will no doubt think this is very long winded, and it is. But it's something I feel very strongly about, so I make no apologies. Thank you for your time.

well i think this should be closed all i wanted is to complain abit about being kicked but this is going too far

I brought up the topic of gays because it is a perfect example of blind hatred.

There are so many people who hate homosexuals that it has sort of become the status quo. So many people use "gay" and "fag" as insults, words used to incite violence. The Nazis really functioned in the same way. They demonized Jews so much that the people of Germany simply accepted what they said as the truth, without questioning or thinking for themselves. As a matter of fact, I still hear people use "Jew" as an insult here in the US. I find this pretty disgusting.

Hating someone because of what someone else says about them is wrong. This is what breeds violence and war.

Another example would be the current conflict in the mideast. Some people I have spoken with really believe that internment camps for the arabs would be a good answer to the problem. Does this sound familiar to anyone? It's really scary how easily people are convinced to hate. It is the reason the U.S. was attacked, and I certainly hope our country does not follow the same road, that we have the presence of mind to stop the downhill slide towards hatred and murder.

P.S.
On the topic of gays:
Some might take offense at this, but homosexuality is probably some type of disorder in my opinion. I'm not really that offended by people jokingly using "fag" or "gay" as jibes, I would sort of equate it with calling someone "retarded". http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/wink.gif But the real problem is when someone thinks it's OK to commit violence. Would you be so quick to condone violence against a retarded person?

Alil, you say that gay is not normal, and perhaps it's not, but that doesn't mean that you can put them down. I mean, what makes Jews "normal?" I'm not gay, but I do know that normal means the same as everything else, and Jews aren't the only people on this world. Get used to the fact that there are racists and bigots out there. We all hate something in some way. Vegetarians don't eat meat. Is that normal? Should we hunt down and shoot vegetarians? No! Same for all people!

Interesting that you use "gay" as a slur against someone you accuse of being "racist".

You know, another person might have said:
"I just got kicked by a damn Jew for being gay!"

Perhaps you should consider your own bigotry....

This is bullshit if you think disliking gays is diferent from hating other races then you are a racist yourself. People will always be diferent, and if he is gay or black that is no reason to hate him.

But i must say that if people are saying things to you, about the fact you are black or white, then it is hard to deal with it. It is hard, but what can you do about it. hate is there and will always stay!

Just ignore these guys and go on the way you were before.

sorry for my bad english, and i am not gay http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hey Blazer, you got it all wrong. 1st of all, most kids say stuff like that without realizing the weight of what they just said and like the other guy said, they pick it up everywhere......even here on this board. And another thing, whats so scary about a 14yr old admin? How old do you have to be in order to set up your own server? It's very easy unless you're running a router like myself....lol. Anyway, i'm not gonna argue with you but you can't explain and/or stop racism, stereotyping, profiling, or whatever. That stuff has been going on WAY before we got here and will be going on way after we leave. I got news for you.....the worlds not a perfect place. Again, my .02 http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

god dmmit i didn't say i don't like gay ppl i have no probalm with gay ppl i just say it is not normal and u can't possibley tell me its a normal thing

bet hes nazi just like me, but only difference is i don't hate jews

as a nazi u can't avoid heating jews the naziz say everyone who isn't of there uber race is too be killd so the race can remain pure so if u say u don't wanna kill jews than your not a nazi and be thankful for that there is nothing good in being a nazi bunch of fools

Well this is gay i just got banned for kicking too much ass!

These 2 clan members wee hosting a FFA server but they were going around as a team. 1 of them was pretty good and in first place. I started out sucking but went after the first place guy again and again, killing him often, and slowly i worked myself into first place. Then suddenly i was disconnected. I went to gayspy and tried to reconnect, but as soon as the level loaded it said "server disconnected". I tried again the same thing. I think this means i was suddenly banned with no warnings.

Either he wants to be first on his server or he thought i was cheating somehow but it was 1.1 and i don't even think there are cheats.
I think his name was "UC_medic" or something like that, too bad he was pretty good, and fun to play against.
