Racism allowed toawrds white people in GC...?

[NomadPatriot]

open discussion allowed..

using the N-word In any form is not allowed in GC .. that is 100% logical.. because it is listed as a Racial Slur. and would be offensive to some, would say most.. but maybe not all black people.. regardless of context.. I completely agree with this and as per rule 7 of the community guidelines it is not allowed..
--> 7. Racism is not permitted on this site in ANY form. This includes ALL forms of racism (e.g. even if your country is at war with another or "reverse" racism).

but the odd thing is.. racial slurs towards white people is allowed..
hence the H-Word...

--> http://www.rsdb.org/slur/hillbilly

this is a derogatory racial slur used to describe White People.
but it is allowed to be used in GC. and it's use has been defended by mods ..

regardless of context .. the N-word is never allowed. in any form..
but the H-Word is allowed. as long as it has context...

why is this allowed. ?

there are some members who use this terminology in GC to describe certain things. certain people and directed towards myself over the past few months.. along with other racial terms that describe white people.. like the R-word.

I do not understand why when I point this out to mods directly.. I am told to shut up about it or get a ban...

racial slurs are racial slurs. .regardless of who they are directed towards.. regardless of context. and as per rule 7 of the community guidelines. 'ANY FORM of Racism is not allowed.'

… unless it is racial slurs towards white people...??

I have used "hillbilly" before as a derogatory term to infer someone is dimwitted, inbred, uninformed or backwards in some way.

I have to admit though, I have never actually thought about how this may impact actual hillbillies.

I am sorry Nomad and I will try to be more considerate in the future.

[TeeGee]

like i said in the PM, you quoted off a joke site. It states it on the homepage and I verified that by looking at Australian slurs, which the majority listed there are not slurs

It's supposed to be funny and/or informational. Calm down.

I have relatives from Tennessee who say being called a hillbilly is OK, but they consider hick or redneck to be a slur

What about Trailer Trash ?

[Razorvich]

What about Trailer Trash ?

its "Gutter Trash" here in aus.

[NomadPatriot]

it's Global Chat... assuming the skin color of the person speaking the offensive term does not justify allowing them to use it.. no one on Conquer Club actually knows the skin color of the person using the terminology.. thus regardless of context .. the n-word is never allowed.. but derogatory terms for whites are..
if black people cannot be racist when calling another black person the n-word.. then why isn't it allowed if both people in a conversation are black.. if i am black & you are black.. and I call you the n-word.. I get banned for not being racist...
.. but if you are white & I am white & I call you a hillbilly.. it is perfectly fine...?

allowing any form of racial slur 100% contradicts rule 7.. it clearly states " any form of racism".. any form.. no exceptions.. but exceptions are made and excused when it is derogatory racial ethnic slurs directed towards white people.
it's hypocrisy

"The proposed content of “The Real Beverly Hillbillies” led U.S. Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky., to say, “No one would dare propose creating a program focusing on stereotypes about African-Americans, Muslims or Jews … Why then would it be OK to bash those of us living in rural America?”

"Of course, we all know why. Suffering people are so entertaining. There’s nothing more humorous than decades and decades of exploitation at the hands of the coal and natural gas industries, both of which have ravaged the landscape and choked its people in miserable jobs, hundreds of dark miles beneath the Earth’s surface. We love to chuckle at insurmountable educational challenges, like the fact that, in 2007, only 17.3 percent of people age 25 or over in West Virginia had a bachelor’s degree, the lowest rate in the nation. The lack of basic healthcare in some regions, the aging population, the weight management issues, the diabetes, the heart disease, the mesothelioma, the routine chemical spills, and the poisoned drinking water are pretty funny. Household incomes from 2007 to 2011 that are $13,000 lower than the national average and 17.5 percent of the state’s population below the poverty line — riotous. And what’s more laughable than, as of 2010, the ninth-highest teenage birthrate in the country?"

Redneck & Hick are allowed in GC... you should ask them if you allowing the use of those slurs on the website you work for is ok with them... because if members go off on a tangent calling your family members rednecks in GC and your family members see it and contact you saying .. "why do you allow these slurs to be used towards us" and you say . ."too bad , deal with it.. it's allowed".. that's pretty harsh..

[NomadPatriot]

here's a question for the mods...

--> name 1 single derogatory racial ethnic slur directed towards white people that isn't allowed In GC...?
just 1....

[Keefie]

It's the association with the slave trade that has led to the word being banned. N's were large muscular people who originated from Nigeria and Niger. Due to their size and strength, they were in demand. Any word that reminds people of those dark days in our history is rightly taboo in society. Why it's become popular for young black men to refer to their friends as my n*&$£a's, god only knows. I would have thought they'd rather forget about all that. I for one am glad the word is banned in CC.

Sticks and Stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me. Free speech is very important as long as it's used with care and consideration. I'm totally against banning any other words, however using words maliciously to cause offence will always be against the rules.

[NomadPatriot]

in other words.. you cannot name 1..
gotcha..
there is a long list of derogatory ethnic racial slurs for Blacks, Asians, Latinos, Middle Easterners, or any other 'Race" that can be pointed out and are ban-able offenses.

I simply asked if there was 1 single Derogatory Racial Ethnic slur for white people that is a ban-able offense..
obviously there is not..
so if 1 can not be noted.. then I am 100% correct with the title of this forum post. ..

I want you to prove me wrong. .please do.. tell me the ban-able racial ethnic slur that is directed towards white people that is not allowed to be used in GC..
if you cannot. .then rule 7 is completely pointless and biased..

[NomadPatriot]

der.. I type-o'd 'towards'
LOL

[Bernie Sanders]

Oh my.....the continued crying of poor oppressed crackers here and their inability to shout out the "N" is a tear jerker.

[Elaterate]

Let's put it out there that these false accusations are mainly directed towards me.... although he does say "members (plural) use this terminology to describe certain things, people, and direct towards him"

1) I've never called him or anyone in GC a Hillbilly (which he accused me of doing so in Global Chat)

2) I've never called Trump supporters Hillbillies (as he also accused me of doing in Global Chat).... SOMEONE ELSE did that, which is what started all this nonsense.... I replied to that players comment with... "doesn't matter if they are because the public vote doesn't matter. Maybe there are Hillbillies in the Electoral College, I don't know"... and I get called a racist for that???....

3) "regardless of context"??? Context means everything when using words that can be offensive if used the wrong way and ESPECIALLY when a word has more then one completely different definition... Telling someone they are "gay" when you're mad at them and saying "you must be feeling pretty gay today after that win" is two completely different ways to use that word (sad I even have to explain this).... one should never be allowed, the other should be more then ok to say anytime.... kinda like saying "I like to listen to Hillbilly" in reference to Country Music... or did you really think I said "I like to listen to an unsophisticated country person, associated originally with the remote regions of the Appalachians."?

4) "name 1 single derogatory racial ethnic slur directed towards white people that isn't allowed In GC"... Correct me if I'm wrong Mods... Guinea, Guido, Cracker, Mick, Snout (or should we change your argument to only White-American slurs?)... I'm sure I could find more but he only requested 1 and I'm sure one of those should fit the bill.

5) You're really going to quote and agree with someone who says "Suffering people are so entertaining. There’s nothing more humorous than decades and decades of exploitation...."

I definitely don't find anything humorous about Suffering people.

Sticks and Stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me. Free speech is very important as long as it's used with care and consideration. I'm totally against banning any other words, however using words maliciously to cause offence will always be against the rules.

Flaming is the online act of posting insults, often laced with profanity or other offensive.... No Flaming is a rule right?

Or where you not trying to be offensive or insulting?

[Dukasaur]

Hillbilly may be insulting, but it has nothing to do with race or creed.

[xroads]

Hilly billy, trailer trash is not even close to being a racial slur.

Now if they were using terms like "cracker', then yes.

No flaming is not a rule. Game chat is quite liberal. Don't be so pathetic lol. You're not seriously offended over someone saying "you're a piece of shit" so don't pretend otherwise. Presumably, this random Nomad guy genuinely thinks hillbilly is a racial slur, so it's understandable why he'd be offended even if he's wrong.

[Evil Semp]

Personally I don't feel the hillbilly is a racist term. I feel that if you want to be offended then you will be offended. NomadPatriot and Elaterate don't seem to like each other. That issuse has been addressed but to no avail. Would NomadPatriot have been offended if it wasn't Elaterate that is being accused of this crime? The two were asked to FOE and mute each other but apparently they haven't. You have the tools available to use but you won't use them. I come to the conclusion that maybe you want to be want to be offended.

That is my personal opinion.

[riskllama]

sounds about right to me, ES. i would also like to add that, in my opinion, there just aren't any "good" racist terms to describe white people out there. think harder, non-white people... .

[NomadPatriot]

it's weird you say that about the situation Evil Semp considering on Fri Mar 22, 2019 11:50 pm I sent you a private message describing how Elaterate & another user had been using the term hillbilly in a derogatory manner

also noted in the message I sent you I provided the GC log of the posts by those 2 members.. Elaterate & ( the other user named ).. where the main focus of the complaint was being directed towards ( the other user named ) stating hillbillies are " not pure & will hump anything"..

it is very strange how someone of a certain race or color can point out a situation where a known racial slur is being used. .informing the moderators it is offensive & the mods tell the person too bad.. you want to be offended.. but it isn't like it's only because I am white.. couldn't be that..

I can forward this message to any other mods if needed..

-----------------------------here is a copy & paste of that message I sent directly to you Evil Semp. but I will exclude the other users name.. for this forum purposes. .so I don't get accused of doxing that person.. ----------------

had Elaterate & ( the other user named ) chime in into a conversation earlier with what is described as an Ethnic Slur towards White People.. in Global Chat...
the Term Hillbilly is a ethnic slur towards white people. .Elaterate knows this as I have pointed it out to him several times in the past..

( the other user named ) went on to entail Hillbillies are not "pure" and will hump anything ..
this is obviously getting into hate speech territory.. replace the term hillbilly with Muslim… or black.. and you will get arrested in some countries..

I know.. I have been told before by mods that being racist towards white people is acceptable on conquer club.. but I still report it when it happens... and Wikipedia notes the word Hillbilly as a ethnic slur...

[riskllama]

harden up & embrace your heritage, NP...

[NomadPatriot]

and since elaterate decided to quote me. .I will return the favor..

I will quote Elaterate's GC post since he is trying to say hillbilly isn't a racial/ ethnic slur.. which is odd considering he directly says hillbillies are a race / ethnicity. he clearly says good things about this ethnic group... but according to him the term hillbilly has nothing to do with race or ethnicity.. ??

" Elaterate: I wish I was born a Hillbilly... best race/ethnicity out there "

Yes I read your PM and reading this thread today I thought TEEGEE had addressed your concern. I could be wrong.

Why not FOE or mute Elaterate? You can't be offended if you don't read what he has to say. FOE him, mute him and block his ability to send you PM's.
