But at least thanks for being one of the mods using common sense.

I kinda agree with Kworb. "Mild racism" should be allowed. It kinda releases the tension.

My bf is black and we constantly throw at each other some "light" racist jokes.

I don't mind. He doesn't mind.

No need to be so tense.

In SYG. SYG is not the whole of ATRL. It's one thread where we let most of the rules go. If you don't like it, don't go there. I don't know how many times I have to repeat this.

We don't warn SYG posts for "shockingly offensive" on our own. If one of us thinks a post is bad enough to be warned, then we discuss and decide together.

If you don't want to read offensive posts, don't participate in SYG.

I wasn't really talking about SYG. I rarely ever go there. I just meant discussions in general. I've seen quite a few discussions about race in The Lounge that got quite heated.

So is "mid racism" allowed outside of SYG

I want Kelly Fitzpatrick & Zach Morris banned from this forum.

Just trying to make the forum a better place for everyone.

It was a flamebait comment in a thread about my fav, of course I will see it

[Phoenetic]

For the record: I was the one who handled the report and didn't give a WP.
I hate any form of racism myself, but I found that one particular post not bad enough to give a WP for.
I understand Beyoncé gets this shade more often, but often it's on another level and then I think it should definately be warned. I personally just really didn't find this particular comment worthy of a WP.

Then again, I might not have the best view on the whole situation surrounding Beyoncé, so maybe another mod disagrees with me.

So I could say a flamebait "Rihanna looks like a white woman" comment in a Rihanna thread and not get a WP?????

Cool

Of my short time on this website, I have made a striking observation. It seems like people here who "drag" Beyoncé frequently, uses racial undertones in there insults.

I seriously believe that members here hate the fact that she is a black woman who has class, money, and phenomenal talent. That pill is just too big for them to swallow. I have yet to see a member who is known for being shady to her, not mention race somewhere on this forum. And while I don't "stans" for her, or anyone, and I'm not even black, I think it is pretty ridiculous and shows the social issues rooting in some of people.

While one the other hand, the people known for "stanning" for her seem to be all or mostly black, from what I see, so that makes the mess even worse when the race issues are addressed here, regarding Beyoncé.

BUT WAIT! Didn't you say you were WIG-SNATCHERS brother or something? WIG-SNATCHER was black.

A heated discussion about race doesn't necessarily mean people are being racist. Racist comments are always warned.

Generally no, but sometimes something is said in jest and then it could be okay, or it's fairly innocent and the poster meant nothing racist by it, that's fine too. Just report it if you see something you find offensive. Then later if it's not warned and you really can't fathom it, you can post it here so people can publicly discuss the case. But then if no one responds to you or agrees with you, take the hint and move on.

Trolls have called Queen Rih a monkey plenty of times without any consequences. It's no surprise that the same would happen for a similar post about Beyonce. So for abc1990 to have made it seem like there's a double standard is just

My family is multiracial and we do the same thing, so...
Some people are just not as "racially sensitive" as others.



Also take note that the majority of the members pushing it with racism on this forum are
most likely doing it, not because they are actually racist, but because they know
it's a good way to troll certain stanbases -- and they fall for it every time.

Depends on the context as well.
I do see your point and don't take racism lightly, but I don't find this comment in this context worth a warning.

I don't follow RIhanna threads like that, so I don't know what is said about her...I'm only addressing what can be said about my fav

But thanks for the clarification
