The racists are coming out at Yahoo over the NBA brawl...

[Guaranteed]

It's "nigger this" and "nigger that" all over the place on the Yahoo boards....

http://news.messages.yahoo.com/bbs?action=l&board=37138455&tid=apbknpacerspistonsbrawl&sid=37138455&mid=209

I'm out of posts, but I battled them as much as I could. Folks should go over there, this is really embarassing me.

[fleabert]

1. I sent an alert message

that was disgusting. I don't have the stomach to argue with them this morning. I cannot believe people exist that think and talk that way.

[Guaranteed]

3. They need to be confronted. We need to represent the good

side of America and let people know that this is wrong, that it's not the way real Americans are.

[fleabert]

9. I can see that, but not me, not today.

call me weak, call me whatever. I just don't have it in me today. I am still up, btw, not just up. It's 5am and I hope to get a couple of hours at least. I confront racism too often anyway, I am in a biracial marriage and I am white. So people who haven't met my husband or know my last name will assume I am 'one of them' and say stupid racist shit in front of me, which, I guess is better than me never knowing and staying friends or aquaintences, but I am so tired of it. Tired in general really. I will get my hackles up soon enough.

[The Backlash Cometh]

37. We need a support group.

I'm the minority side of my half. But, I get mistaken for white all the time. I've seen it all and have reached the conclusion that they will never change. The only thing left to do is to build a separate peace. Not work or education segregation, mind you, but find people that we can socialize with away from the others.

[fleabert]

44. Reading "Why are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?"

helped me a lot. I learned so much about racism, and I thought I knew quite a bit. I could handle being sheltered within a common group of souls, though! I get sick of fighting what seems to be a losing battle, sometimes. Then I get riled up and fight the good fight again. It's harder when it's personal.

[The Backlash Cometh]

47. I'll pick up a copy of the book.

I am Hispanic (latina) and I am also locked out of those cafeteria sit togethers, but unlike white people, I understand why black Americans chose to do it. I'm sorry I didn't do it sooner with my own race.

[fleabert]

55. I think you will be saying

'of course' while reading it. It made me do a lot of soul searching. BTW- please let me know what you think after you read it, my Latino husband disagreed with some of the ideas in the book, so it would be interesting to see if you have the same reaction. He believes language is a larger 'separator' of people, more than skin color, on a worldwide scope, not just in the US. The book really only addresses the problem here.

[Zuni]

16. Half these people are probably kids trying to piss people off

Any sane person would not want to lynch someone over a damn basketball game
No sane people post on Yahoo! message boards either

[Seabiscuit]

27. BINGO!

Haven't DU'ers been subjected to enough insanity this month? Why wallow in it on Yahoo???

[Guaranteed]

28. Because if we don't, they're going to start doing exactly what they

say they're going to do- start lynching black people.

And they own profiles show that they're adults.

Folks, these people are nowhere near alone. They're Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh listeners. These are your Bush voters.

Racism is making a VERY REAL comeback, and it needs to be confronted NOW.

[Seabiscuit]

49. If you believe that do you really think they'll listen to what you say?

[Flammable Materials]

4. Sending alerts to Yahoo = POINTLESS

You'll receive an automatic response telling you to use the "ignore" feature.

They don't moderate, which in a way makes sense, because they would open up a box of legal worms for themselves if they did moderate.

Yahoo News Message Boards are a cesspit of human debris, anyway. The Americans who post there, by and large, represent the worst of the worst of the worst of national discourse.

In other words ... Michael Savage listeners.

[chenGOD]

6. Absolutely true...

I remember the yahoo boards during the 2002 World Cup. After the Koreans beat Spain and Italy...it was ugly ugly ugly.

[fleabert]

8. I don't go there but rarely - so that's news to me.

that sucks.

[Francine Frensky]

34. Watch ESPN -- a LOT of WHITE fans were throwing things, etc.

This was ugly, folks.

[prof_science]

41. A lot of black, hispanic, and white people...

...were throwing shit. Trash of all colors.

We shouldn't be breaking this down by race, anyway. The fans who were acting like douchebags had one thing in common, regardless of skin color. They are from Detroit. Enough said. ( <--- gratuitous flame bait. )

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

2. Let them.

You know, this country seems to have forgotten how ugly open and shameless racism is. Let them expose themselves. Let them crawl into the light. Let the good people see them warts and all.

We need a refresher course on this stuff. We really do.

Once everyone gets a gutfull of it, and then they start to figure out why this is resurgent(Hate Radio), things will start to change.

Battling racism one-on-one is a fools game. Battle it on the meta scale. Individual racists only deserve marginalization.

[chenGOD]

5. Jesus. That's fucking ridiculous.

and embarrasing to me as a human.

[bushisanidiot]

7. More repuke "values" voters, I'm sure

what hypocrites

[Guaranteed]

10. Are you SURE you don't want to confront this??

SIX RECOMMENDATIONS ON THAT POST.

Folks, this is your duty.

[Guaranteed]

11. Talking about lynchings isn't enough for ya, eh?

Yup...pretty sad state of affairs.

[Zuni]

12. When any normal people read it, they will be disgusted

There is no point in trying to argue with someone (probably a 14 year old) who wants to bring back lynching because of a basketball fight.

[Guaranteed]

14. You don't have to change their mind. You have to represent

what's right, though.

Besides, that post had six recommendations. Those people are not alone, and we need to outnumber them.

If someone gets lynched I'd like to think I at least tried to do something about it.

[Telly Savalas]

51. I think that's called taking a troll's bait

[bkcc]

15. Sadly, probably 41...not 14.

[Zuni]

20. I think half these people are kids posting to offend people

look at some of this stuff---either they are kids or are functionally illiterate.

[bkcc]

22. If you've ever been to freerepublic...

you know that poor spelling doesn't equate youthful ignorance.

I'm sure there are a few young people are posting, but most are likely adults.

[Guaranteed]

24. They're adults. Kids don't say nasty shit like this. nt

[bkcc]

26. Exactly.

[realisticphish]

33. um

actually, they DO. i went to a rural high school, and this is NOTHING, believe me


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[name not needed]

38. Most 14 year olds can spell better than that.

[bkcc]

13. sick fuckers.

I just reported that to Yahoo.

I'm not really surprised that some people are using this incident as a justification for their racist behavior. I hear racism way too frequently from some fans when they talk sports. Shit like "I'm cheering for because their QB is white." It sickens me that people look at sports (or life) like this.

Chances are good that most of these idiots have never seen a person of color anywhere but on TV.

Long story short: you'll hear a lot more of this shit from the assholes of the world on this situation.

[Guaranteed]

18. It's all over the board. There must be at least 15 posters

posting BLATANT racism..."niggers are a sub-species" stuff...2/3 of the board is being taken up by it right now.

[Zuni]

21. they also seem to be functionally illiterate

I was shocked by the 'far worse than freerepublic' spelling on this board.
either they are kids, are pretending to be someone they are not, or they are semi-illiterates.

[Swamp Rat]

23. Yes it is. This is INTOLERABLE in the extreme.

Another tactic would be to sign up and post similar comments but also mention Jesus-Bush, like how great he is and won't it be great when he gets rid of (exterminates) of all the "islamo-ragheads, niggers, kikes, homos" and whomever else the little weenie Nazis hate. Bush needs to be tied directly to their nasty rhetoric. Maybe THAT will get it shut down. :evilgrin:

[StClone]

17. Any one notice the trend

The incidence of violence in sporting events MLB, NHL and NBA especially in the last few years. What societal trend would encourage this? The race haters are using such incidents to push their own agenda. I think the lowering of self-control (anti-pc) and tell-it-like-you-think-it-should-be macho, warring mentality is part of it. Anxiety and tension caused by BushCo's activities and division, being the root?

[fleabert]

19. i don't know,

look at soccer everywhere but here, gets pretty radical.

[Guaranteed]

25. This is really making me sick.

And it seems like no one is trying to help.

We should have twenty DUers over there right now pounding these guys.

[sasquatch]

29. I'm helping

They seem like they're going away now:)

[Guaranteed]

31. Thank you...it is getting better. nt

[Heyo]

30. I wonder if...

...some nutcase group like Stormfront or something has seized upon this to flood the boards with their idiocy. Not the sharpest knives in the drawer, but they do do that... flood the internet boards when they see an opening.

(I didn't click the link. so I don't know, BTW. You've seen one illiterate bigot, you've seen em all.)

Heyo

[SmileyBoy]

46. I bet that's what is happening.

Some group like Stormfront or whatever has infiltrated the board.

[Heyo]

56. Top of the gene pool, those people....

....cream of the crop.

I bet it's any dow now that a Stormfront member gets the nobel peace prize for outstanding contributions to humanity.

:puke:

Heyo

[gollygee]

32. I saw this on the tv news

Most of the fans involved were white. I guess the yahoos on Yahoo didn't notice that.

[The Backlash Cometh]

35. hahaha! I told ya'll. PC died a long time ago.

They never stopped saying the "n" word. Never.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

36. This One Is Cute

look at hockey, well, since they're on strike, look at the past seasons.

whites do it better



Yeah, that's why boxing is full of white champions...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

39. I Was At The L A Times Laker Board During The LA-Detroit Series...

There was a lot of Kobe bashing from the Pistons fans and a lot "you're gay" stuff but very little racist crap from fans of either team...

[radwriter0555]

40. Got soccer hooligans, anyone? Just over-testosteroned young males spoiling

for some wildness.

Doesn't take skin color to act like an idiot, just testosterone, apparently.

[laheina]

42. Doesn't even take testosterone,

although it appears to help a whole lot;)

[progmom]

43. with the possible exception of the yahoo financial boards

Yahoo boards seem to all be populated by angry immature racist assholes. I made the mistake, after Janet bared her breast at the Super Bowl show, to check on Yahoo to see of anyone else had seen what I had seen. I sure had my eyes opened then. Holy shit.

[Malebolgia]

45. Looks like the freepers made it there before we could.

[Deja Q]

48. They don't get it. The problem is not skin color.

It's how people who have lots of money don't get punished for wrongdoing.

Capital punishment: Anyone with capital won't get the punishment.

The wealthy have always bought their way out; with precious little money too. Odd how that works.

I tried posting there but couldn't create a profile. Oh well.

[barb162]

50. Martha Stewart got nailed, but then again she's a democrat

[DrWeird]

54. Bullshit. The fans started the fight.

The white fans started this fight by attacking a black player. The only people that deserve punishment are those fans. They might be rich though. Probably republican.

[cedahlia]

52. It's ALWAYS like that

Those racist pigs are always trolling those boards posting their shit. It could be a story about a grandma winning a blue ribbon at the state fair for her apple pie, and somehow at least one thread will say, "FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING N****R LOVING PUSSY LIBERALS!!!" :puke:

It's disgusting, and I don't understand why those boards are allowed to continue like that. It's like no one bothers moderating them at all. Anyway, I stay away from there unless I'm really in the mood to be pissed off. Definitely enter at your own risk...

[DrWeird]

53. They're coming out here too.

Check out LBN.
