Re: Get rid of RACIST SMILEYS!!!

The Smileys this board uses are very racist!!! Why do you assume everybody posting is white? When an African-American person like me makes a post and wants to smile and does this: it is discriminatory against me. Why are there not Smilies with BROWN SKIN? Oh wait...I found one...



Oh yes! Let's LAUGH at the lynching of innocent African-Americans at the hands of evil white people! Oh wait, I found another non-white Smiley...



A monkey! Oh yea, that's really good. Again, equating African-Americans with monkeys and apes. PURE UNADULTERATED RACISM!

Landover should change its smileys so that it represents people of ALL RACES, not just white people!!! <---That should be with brown skin, by the way.

Leave it to an hysterical, uppity female nigra to try and start trouble.

These are spermies chasing an egg.




Why do you darkies always try and play the race card?

Next you'll be saying that all the yellow smilies are gooks huh!

Re: Get rid of RACIST SMILEYS!!!

It is disappointing to see that some still refer to black people who are educated and successful as "uppity". You might want to reflect back on the Bush/Cheney administration and recall that there were more black people in the cabinet than in any prior administration. Have you so quickly forgotten Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice?

Forgive me if my response to your prior post comes late, Mr. Washington; however, you must understand that I am currently writing this message on very little sleep.

No Mr. Washington, suffice it to say, I have not forgotten, good sir.

It is my opinion that Mr. Colin Powell used to be an upstanding patriotic, Conservative, Christian man, up until he betrayed his country and the administration he worked for, not to mention his God. I don't believe I need to go into great detail about this, as you don't sound to me to be a man who is ignorant of the political events that have occurred in the recent past concerning the matter. Now I don't find fault with Mrs. Condoleezza Rice, as I am not aware of any instances lately where she has spoken out of turn against the greatest administration that this country has seen since the 1980’s, which represents the golden age of U.S. patriotism and religious fervor. Please feel free to inform me of any changes in the facts that I have been using to base my opinion of her on.

Now, as for the adjective that I used in my last post, which you seem to show a degree of disdain for; I will remind you sir, that on quite a few posts, other members, myself included, have used much more unflattering language to describe or generalize other non-African American ethnicities, but I have yet to hear a protest from either Professor Tyeisha X or yourself regarding their use. Instead, much discussion has been preoccupied with little, funny-looking, smiley faces, which our members have been using to spruce up their posts or garner certain predictable reactions.

Now, if you feel the need to call me out as a prejudice bigot or maybe you believe that my words or opinions require a harsher label, then that is your right, not only as an American, but as a free thinking human being. But let me just say this, Mr. Washington; whether motivated by an action or rationalized as a reaction to a previous action; prejudice, bigotry, and, even racism, are as common in all people, regardless of color or creed, as apathy, complacency, and hypocrisy.

The Honorable Brother Jessup T. Lloyd, Esq. has spoken.

That was a lot to digest Sir. I will address the comments I feel to be pertinent.

If you were following the thread I am sure you must have made note that I gave stern rebuke to "Professor X" for her racist and radical views. I personally am a strong fiscal and social conservative. If it were not for the color of my skin you would probably encourage me to fun for public office as a Republican. I know this from personal experience, but I choose not to delve into that sordid field.

As for the adjectives used to describe both myself and Professor X, they are indeed offensive. Professor X came here with a grudge so it isn't surprising that the discourse degenerated into name calling on both sides. When those adjectives are turned on me, yes I do feel offended, but it is not my nature to respond in kind. I feel that the best thing I can do to combat this latent racism is to conduct myself in a calm and dignified manner. I restrain from replying in kind, but I am human and I sometimes can stray from the path I try to walk.

As for smiley faces, I think they are silly and immature.

It is discriminatory against me, too. I'm not yellow!

Many bigots did use that smiley to refer to George W. Bush recently. Was that racist?

Is it racist to recognized the existence of monkeys? Or would you prefer that we pretend God didn't make apes, orangutans, chimpanzees, etc.?

Landover should change its smileys so that it represents people of ALL RACES, not just white people!!! <---That should be with brown skin, by the way.

There aren't any that represent white people, you bigoted troll!

Re: Get rid of RACIST SMILEYS!!!

I found a few more ethnic smilies that might be useful in expanding cultural diversity:

Re: Get rid of RACIST SMILEYS!!!

How dare you accuse us of racism because of our smileys.
We have a wide range of Multi-cultural diversity and are very proud of our compassion to furriners.
We even have our Ex-Negro Ministry.

Amongst our other Smileys we have:

Japs
Camel Jockeys
Hook nosed Jooz
Commies
Frogs
Brits


NO RACISM HERE.

You do know Jesus was of Jewish race right? He wasnt white.
I'm racist.

Cool! They have a Smiley of ME! This one is called "Prophet" and even looks like me and if you imagine really hard, you can hear him ranting and raving.

Re: Get rid of RACIST SMILEYS!!!

Jesus is God.

Jews worship God.

Are you saying that God is some megalomaniacal freak who worships Himself?!

That's BLASPHEMY!

Re: Get rid of RACIST SMILEYS!!!

Ummm... Maybe I think that because, Jesus was born in Bethlehem, and Mary and Joseph were from Nazareth, Israel. He was Jewish in race.

First of all, it's "Jesus IS" not "Jesus WAS." He rose on the third day and then floated up to Heaven in front of 500 unimpeachable witnesses!

And Jesus is NOT a damned JOO! Read the article!!

Re: Get rid of RACIST SMILEYS!!!

Tye-one-on, You're a minority who doesn't know its place, and our True Christian™ God has no use for you, nor does His Republican Party.

Clarence Thomas and Thomas Sowell should be your role models. Why don't you embrace them? They've never complained about our smileys.

[Nobar King]

Re: Get rid of RACIST SMILEYS!!!

How come there is a smiley saying but not one saying black trash? You see this on a lot of forums.

Now, if I was to call someone a black piece of trash then I would probably be banned on the grounds of racism, but you can call a white person anything and it's not racist.
