It's frustrating seeing issues involving race appear everywhere such as, if the word "lynch" is racist or should be removed as a term in a game of mafia. That is to say, the issue being brought up is great but what is frustrating is actually how people want to argue against it. This crew especially just loves to be controversial and leaps at the chance to sow discord and just in general, be a hard headed dick.

Instead of arguing against something you probably don't care about and then doubling down because your pride won't let you admit you are wrong, maybe consider just walking away. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with people being passionate about moral issues. If your opinion is sincerely that "Lynch" isn't a word with racist undertones, then state your case but please for the love of God be willing to admit you are wrong. I was raised by conservative, racist people and the hardest thing was just being willing to look at the other side point of view. Shutting up about a topic that I had no business arguing against was a good start and now I want to be actively in support of equality for all.

cause so many Americans blow big donkey dick right now but I'm also so fucking proud that the rest of us are trying, even if it's just in stupid threads about mafia.


...


Don't be a prideful jerk. State your points but have an open mind because *Surprise* you might be wrong.
Looking for love in Alderaan places.

The term lynch fuckin means executing someone.
That’s fuckin it.
Like I’m the Cowboy times the sheriff would tie a knot in the rope and hang bad guys for their wrong doings.
Just because other events happened using that is irrelevant.
Anyone can be hanged. It’s not limited to any specific individual.
Why is the other events that have come to replace the original definition with a more specific race-based definition in the United States irrelevant?
Because it can happen to
ANYONE
and that’s my point!
As such, you might as well ban everything.
Let's just clarify this right now. Do you think it is okay to just casually use the word lynch?
Yes.
And any word you want to use to indicate someone is being killed.
It doesn’t matter. It’s the same thing.
You, sir, are a racist

Yeah buddy;


History is proprietary to the language in which it’s written. For example, the history of Brazil begins when the Western Europeans colonized it 500 years ago. I think that’s worth remembering when we are talking about “erasing history” and what
our
history has erased.
Ooooooh it had nothing to do with what I thought it was.

Thanks, that's a great point actually.

That being said Pork everything you just posted is much more relevant than this quibble.
Yes! Actually that’s a perfect way to say it. As far as our history shows, thesee continents didn’t exist before they were discovered, colonized, conquered, and given our names.

P. Edit thanks pb

idk, history matters or some such. There really shouldn't be this much backlash over me just correcting Lycan. I'm glad I did though b/c I found some truly discussing people.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Fuck

I take it back.
WDYM?
Racism is when you discriminate someone based on their race, nationality or anything else of the similarity.
That’s it!
People shouldn't be racist and people shouldn’t over react to something that doesn’t need to be reacted to.
So "lynch" is not a racist term despite it's historical usage targeting black people specifically in America?

Who is overreacting here?
The people saying we should be able to use the term or those saying we shouldn't?
Any word could have been used.
Anything could have happened.
Each decision an individual makes can change the outcome of the future.
Heck it could have been something else.
Heck If the right people were in charge slavery would have never existed.
My point is that history happened and what happened in the past happened.
We are in control of our future we will decide the fate of the future we together will make the world a better place.
We will unite and make Understandment and Equality one as well as all Truth to never be kept secret.
And many more things I desire.
But for now I’ll let everyone go into their little “over reaction” doesn’t bother me.
But if I see some really stupid shit in 2021 saying a fuckin Kitchen Sink is Racist because they are able to pin it back to the past in history of it being as such I’m going to have a hell of a fuckin “I told you so, this needs to stop!” Speech prepared.
Until then. I end my discussion here.

That anyone could be a victim of lynching doesn't change the fact only one group systemically has.

As far as I can tell, your first two posts in this thread were defending people who still wanted to use this word. You then tried to derail this thread into a history lesson that totally misses the point. Yeah. Says a lot about you.

It's the equivalent of dismissing American slavery with "Well the Romans had slaves too!" It's technically correct and also adds nothing to the conversation.
