Just had an online racist encounter
    #26719184 - 06/04/20 01:11 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

I was in a virtual world just now, as one of my many identities, who happens to be a black man. Its a roleplaying account, fun and games, whatever.

Suddenly this white guy latches onto me and brings up "the riots". So, having amply read up on all that here i know a thing or two about it and umm.. this guy begins a rant about how you cant blame the police for biased responses against against black people and that there is no such thing as disproportionate police violence against blacks in the united states and he comes with all these links and statistics and one more slanted than the other.

In a recreational gaming situation mind you.

So, I say, calmly. "By that same logic, since slavery is 2 grannies ago and civil rights only one granny ago, might it be conceivable that black people developed a biased attitude towards the police?"  Reasonable, no?

Not by his standard.

Like XUL on meth he goes on and on about the savagery of African Americans and how George Floyd's death was justifiable and blah blah....

"Which part of America are you from?" I asked.

"I'm not from America, I'm from Germany."  he said.

"Here, you dropped this." I said, and gave him a replica of a Zyklon B canister I made for a holocaust project.

Fucker.

I'm not pretending to be black, I just opted for a black charactyer in a game and someone in there took the seeing of someone black in a game as an oportunity to unload the racism he had against the blacks of a nation neither of us inhabit.

At least I'm around Americans all the time as a Shroomery staffer, this guy was just a German with strong hateful opinions against African Americans.

A few whites, a few blacks and a few asians. I never could find furry forms that apopealed to me enough to want to embody them, an alien is too weird and it doesnt interest me to be a true-to-life animal such as a wolf or lion. I've been an Orc though but everybody kept making stupid cracks about having taken a wrong turn in world of warcraft to end up there.

I've been an angel and even, embodied the angelic White Light, where my body consisted of a sparkling white light with many rays.

I played a kid for a while but it was depressing how many pedophiles there were.

we're talking 13 years of virtual world presence, what haven't I done?

Asante means "Thank You" in Kiswahili and embodies my gratitude towards the community.

Although you do have a tendency to, or perhaps preference for is a better word, African things



But yeah, foreigners having strong opinions on social situations in countries they dont inhabit is kinda

I am very focused on the continent of Africa and its people. 99% of that isnt sexual.

It isn't some fetish, it is at the core of my spirituality, and its in my DNA, I had a Nigerian ancestor.

Seems like the racists are coming out of the woodwork to stir shit up, even here on the shroomery and everywhere else on the internet. Not surprising with an election coming up. I bet at least some of it is state sponsored. People are trying to stir up tensions and cause problems.

I'll admit I did use to think poorly of black people in that they were all criminals. But that was more the fault of the news than anything else really since the news usually showed black men on it. And when I was in DARE and they talked about gangs they were usually black. The fear was learned I will admit.


Over time things changed and it's getting better to the point that I don't understand why people treat others like this. But I'm not all the way there just yet.

I'm curious, is this done with a mic/real voices?

There were a few black characters I wanted to dress as for Halloween and then I figured it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

Did y'all hear about the Nascar driver (I think he's a mix of Japanese & white) who was playing video games online, on a live stream that had a lot of viewers and started dropping n-bombs? One of his buddies (who was online also) even stepped in and said "hey bro you're everyone can hear you right now".

He lost all his sponsorships and was suspended from Nascar indefinitely.
