"Site Owner passionately defends the use of the N-Word as a derogatory slur."
Mem, this is really disingenuous. Never did I "passionately defend the use of the N-Word." My thesis, if you care to understand it, was that Mircea's post was not racist. You're welcome to disagree with this thesis if you like, but the quote above is disingenuous. My thesis was NOT that it's okay to use the N-Word or that I supported Mircea doing that. I do not think he should be using that word. I also don't think the post is racist. Using a word does not make one racist. One is racist if one believes in inherent inferiority of an individual based on his race. Mircea doesn't believe that, and specifically stated such in the post. You ignore that fact.
I do not understand why you fail to see this distinction, and it feels as if you're simply trying to stir up drama, make enemies, and crusade against people based on very dubious assertions. The quote above from your gambling list is deceptive. It is factually wrong, but I suppose you'll keep it anyway. That was also pretty classy of you to lock your thread after you got the last word in.
Stated in bullet points for you:
- I am not racist. I don't give a damn about peoples' skin color.
- I do not believe Mircea is a racist, although he is certainly an elitist, is very brash, and very offensive to some people.
- I do not believe Mircea's post is racist. Those who find it offensive are getting caught up in the use of one word and failing to understand the meaning of the commentary.
- I do not defend the use of the N-word, ever.
Do you need it any more clearly spelled out or will you perpetuate the witch hunt?
Erik, it is clear you do not appreciate the damage and hurt Mircrea's language causes or you do and feign ignorance (I hope its just the regular kind of ignorance).
Either way, SatoshiDice and all MPEx businesses listed here shall be accompanied by a note warning against supporting these types of individuals.
There is a south park episode you should watch, perhaps it would educate you some on racial sensitivity which I feel you and many others here need.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_Apologies_to_Jesse_JacksonYou keep trying to label this as a witch hunt except thats just you attempting to defeat my position by using a strawman argument.
I guess you are not used to how Boycotts work, here is some further reading material on this for you:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycott- I do not believe Mircea's post is racist. Those who find it offensive are getting caught up in the use of one word and failing to understand the meaning of the commentary.
- I do not defend the use of the N-word, ever.
This is not what I read in your recent comment, you went to great lengths to defend his use of the N-word in his "article", insisting that he is not racist but only using the negative racial slur in a derogatory fashion for a group but not a racial group.
My stance shall not change, Mircea is a racist piece of shit that this world is better off without - I shall not support or endorse any business associated with the individual for the very clear reasons above.
I apologize for the original tone of my post, I was nearly vomiting with rage amd disgust after some concerned friends bought this to my attention and could not distance myself from MPEx and its associates quickly enough.
Frankly Erik we are of two incompatible mindsets, I do not tolerate racial slurs or those that make them.
Watch the south park episode if you have not already then if you wish, discuss with me further on google chat, my email is
