Pretty much what @SouporMan said. I'd love to kick based on that criteria except that hasn't been established. If we did kick by that, then we'd be kicking Black Lives Matter, Black Power etc. As I always tell ********, unless it's a specifically banned term or a a name with sexually related overtones, it's about context.@NavyWings let's see what he says about that SS first since he is in it 🙂
edit: that user account is 8 days old, and staff have been increasing kick times etc. Previously, that sn was a guest and banned. I had given a ban warning, and the user name is being banned.
Thank you for bringing this user to our attention.
You believe racism can only go one way? You believe one race has a monopoly on racial pride over another? Again, not my rules dude. Take it up with HR.Wow, you really just equated BLM to a white supremacy chant? Really?
And for your review from Merriam Webster:Wow, you really just equated BLM to a white supremacy slogan? Really?
Yeah but you are defending the cries of an era where people were literally hung.And for your review from Merriam Webster:
Definition of racism
1: a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
I didn't notice a specific race mentioned in that definition. So IMO, if you don't allow "WhitePower, then you don't allow "[Anyrace]Power.
I never said that I said you're making a horrible false equivalence. BLM isn't a racist movement either so I'm not even sure where you get comparing that to a literal slogan/chant used by actual hate groups...
AND you make the false equivalency that celebrating a race automatically means that is denigrating another race. Now if WhitePowerbyJove was making racist comments in chat denigrating a specific race, that would be grounds for mute/kick.
Is there encouragement? I didn't see encouragement. We can make moral equivalencies all day if you like. I'll enforce whatever HR says to enforce.Again we really shouldn't encourage users to use white power in their name by any means...
The BLM movement has been labeled the same as the white power movement, but that is bogus. Again, white power is fueled by 100's of years of racism.
In America it is a sensitive topic, people were hung.Everyone thinks celebrating one thing is criticising something else. That’s all thanks to the me me me culture. So to that I say…
Bitch you ain’t special.
Not sure why this wasn’t closed- I’d have bet my life savings this would turn into a **** show.
this is a general forum, for people to speak their mind. And its a topic specifically relating to the General Chatroom. Until/unless the predicted **** storm happens, they can have on. 🙂Everyone thinks celebrating one thing is criticising something else. That’s all thanks to the me me me culture. So to that I say…

The name "whitepower" in addition to racist behaviour would not be allowed. And isn't.Black Lives Matter does NOT equal Black Power. Black Lives Matter is a movement for equality, whereas Black Power implies black superiority. In the same way, White Power implies white superiority more so than, say, All Lives Matter. IMHO, White Power shouldn't be allowed as it is an obviously racist statement.
The name "whitepower" in addition to racist behaviour would not be allowed. And isn't.

what you are really saying is you want censorship-banning for anything YOU find uncomfortable esp relating to race. Not going to happen. I have nothing more to add -if you want to discuss race issues no one is stopping youRace is a serious issue H.R. Where someone stands now a days is very important. Especially those in charge of the communities around them.
I am sure you might try to pawn this off as trolling, but racism shouldn't be tolerated in any form. Even if that form is just a well placed opinion..
Comparing BLM to White Power has validity, but what has much more validity is the chants of those heard before being dragged, hung, or brutalized in anyway back from 2000's and before. I do not feel they equate, and allowing a name like white power is allowing a safe haven for more trolling of the black community to occur.
Sorry if the matter makes you uncomfortable or if you feel personally attacked.

"privileges to be extended just due to color of the skin."The argument on why it is fair to let people speak about black live matters and as well let people speak about White Power issues are germane to the topic. BLM is about a class of people being denied rights where as White Power advocates for privileges to be extended just due to color of the skin.
No, calm down sailor boy. BLM basically states that black life matters too. White advocacy groups states that only white lives matter. I am sick and tired of the racist bullshite coming from white people who are not comfortable with any one with any differences. It is like you all state Critical Race Theory is bad because it shows white people in a bad light. Nonsense what critical race theory states is that once upon at time in the US black people were treated as less than human."privileges to be extended just due to color of the skin."
So since we've opened this can of worms, BLM does not advocate what you just stated? They advocate merit based privileges without deference to skin color? They are both a black as well as white advocacy group?
Annnnddd this is how these conversations go. Instead of having a calm, intelligent discussion, one side always gets patronizing or personal. It's why we have poor civil discourse in society. So take your cause and bugger off.No, calm down sailor boy. BLM basically states that black life matters too. White advocacy groups states that only white lives matter. I am sick and tired of the racist bullshite coming from white people who are not comfortable with any one with any differences.

Kindly do me a favor sailor boy NEVER reply to any of my threads.
But I get it. You're uncomfortable facing uncomfortable questions and even more uncomfortable answers. You might want to review their website on what they're "about" before you use the word "basically."No, calm down sailor boy. BLM basically states that black life matters too.

The white power movement in American was historically violent and racist though.
I’m not sure the last time BLM hung or had a dragging.
BLM was probably formed after people of color were tired of the racism they experience, white power movements occurred in the 70s after white people were tired of people of color.
BLM and the white power movement aimed to destroy the system they feel was unfair.
But again, only one movement drug, hung, r****, and brutalized people of color.
It’s not the same, and painting it the same same is way to justify racist views.
has anyone considered she might be the white power ranger
oh so villianizing people of another race is fine so long as blm does it right? all the things i mentioned theyve done in the name of *eQuALiTy* is totally justified, because it didnt involve hanging ppl, or dragging them through the streets??? thats ludicrious, what theyve done is totally compariable lmao.
silly me, how could i forget that people of color cant be anything other than victims, & are completely incapable of being racist themselves.
im painting it the same, because its the same. blm is just as much of an extremist racial movement as the klan. both are organizations that put their race above all others.
^ pretty sure thats the definition of racism. ^
im half asian, so no 🤦🏼♀️
Again, my argument is the white power movement is often racist, and engage in racist activities. If you feel the BLM movement is racist that’s an entirely different discussion…
It really doesn’t matter how many paragraphs you write, dragging, hanging, and murdering people of color for decades does not equate to rioting one summer.
Again, that’s not what this post is about.
No one was complaining about a BLM name. The issue was white power in the name. Which shouldn’t be allowed.
@babydolla
it actually was mentioned, pal, it was explicitly stated that BLACK LIVES MATTERS shouldnt have that as their name either, if the person in question cant have white power in theirs.
one cant be more acceptable over the other, that racist marginilization lmao
this is entirely what the post is about, wtf
But hey, I’m glad you agree. White power is racist.it actually was mentioned, pal, it was explicitly stated that BLACK LIVES MATTERS shouldnt have that as their name either, if the person in question cant have white power in theirs.

I'm really tired of your using historical events to justify present day racism. You want an honest discussion? I don't hear you mentioning anything about Africans enslaving africation or the slavery of Jews. You think they're waving past atrocities around today as an excuse? How about reparations? Taking from those that never owned slaves to give to people that never were slaves 🙄BLM was probably formed after people of color were tired of the racism they experience, white power movements occurred in the 70s after white people were tired of people of color.

again a representative of GC using smoke and mirrors ignoring the topic.As a reminder the one starting the thread had mentioned a chatter going by the name of White Power being ignored if not encouraged by MODS and Admin. I have seen this a few times when I have chatted in GC. Racism is ignored there. Flyboy here points out that no one mentions the Germans enslaving the Jews. I have been to GC and seen a chatter going by Hitler.... I pointed out how this user name is triggering for those who may be Jewish. My response was that this chatter was simply making a political statement and had a right to do that. GC does support racism by its inaction to even encouraging racist content.I
