Racism on The Shroomery.

I don't get it. Why is racism so prevalent and accepted by the majority on here? It never used to be like that. I'm not talking about OTD either. I honestly haven't looked in that forum in well over two years. I'm talking about right here in The Pub amongst other areas.
I have at least 3 negative ratings due to me calling out people/giving them negative ratings because of them spewing racial hatred or using bigoted terms (et al. nigger) and such and so.
You would think with the 15 moderators that The Pub has there wouldn't be any problems with stuff like this, but apparently not.
Just my nine cents. Thanks.

It's the shock factor. Some people think they're cool because they can throw around racist terms while hiding behind the veil of anonymity that we call the internet.

No.
White, suburban retards that live with their parents saying 'nigga' cause they think it's funny/cool is one thing, but then there's people (like in my ratings section) saying shit like "usually there's some nigger in the alley selling it" and shit in response to my tattoo "what do you think you're black or something?" and I just don't see how that is tolerated.

It doesn't matter. They're racist remarks regardless of the race of the person they're directed at.

What does that have to do with anything?
I've been a minority race my entire life due to the locations I've always lived in, and there is absolutely no tolerance amongst myself or my peers when motherfuckers drop racist remarks geared towards anyone at all. That is why I am wondering why it is so widely accepted here at The Shroomery.

The problem with the words rest with the victim.
It's bloody sound waves, don't get so worked up over trivial shit.
Proper racism (real world discrimination) I don't tolerate, but over a messageboard, who cares.

I agree, these crackers go too far. On another note, have you ever been to LA?

to the OP - don't get all al sharpton and shit because some overtly racist bastard got to you on the shroomery. yeah, there are assholes like that - and they belong with the rest of the fuckin weirdos in the OTD. i agree with what you're saying though, but there isn't shit we can do about it except maybe report it to a mod or do what you're doing - call those racists out. my dad is a bigot and a racist and i call his shit all the time - it's all you can do. other than that you really can't stop them from having a grinchy simpletons one dimensional mindset. peace

racism is losing its power. if everybody is racist about everybody, then nobody is.
as long as it doesn't involve forming societies based on race.
funny how Dr. MLK advocated his dream that people would be judged not by color of skin but by content of character, and today we have everyone grouped in racial communities, ignoring character flaws to find commonality in ethnic heritage (and thus adopting by association said flaws) And so we have rapid degradation of every ethnic group. (yes whites too) Diversity combined with our "Birds of a feather" nature promotes the cultivation of negative traits in entire groups WHEREVER there are groups that identify themselves with a common GRANTED trait. If you have to WORK for a trait, like education, or fitness, you tend to have more pride in your character, but GIVEN traits, people take pride in their inheritance and ignore their own legacy. color, class, creed, religion, etc. All mechanisms of simple mutual acknowledgment. In time, this lazy associating promotes lazy self-respect. affiliation to a particular website is ANOTHER example. This site USED to base upon a clear mission, until people got lazy with their minds.
You have a problem with racism? start a society based on character. I HOPE to do such a thing. If only I knew how.
