I find that having a general game philosophy for larger scenes that becomes part of the culture.

I feel like maybe somebody mugged this sentence on the way to the board, maybe rifled through its pockets and stole a word or two. Is it just me?

No.

Wow, what WAS I typing. It probably meant to continue with something "makes a dramatic difference in how large scenes go." As in -- making certain things game culture helps even more than just doing certain things player by player.

Thank you for clearing that up. My initial read of it was some WORA-grade "Has anyone ever been so far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?" thing.

then the privileged class is going to have to stop basing their privilege on those days, too.

How would anyone even go about doing that?

By thinking of the children, HR. Why won't anyone think of the children?

race of warriors

Wow.
Yep. You win, Cirno.

Actually, Malcolm X died under suspicious circumstances that may or may not include the FBI. It is debated whether or not the NOI was at fault.

The going theory? FBI operatives, cloaking themselves as NOI members, carried out a false flag action in the hopes of discrediting the NOI and breaking their influence.

Also, he said a few stupid things, like what you quoted. Doesn't matter. He was as human, and error-prone, as any other person. I'm a fan of the earlier, more confrontational Malcolm. He toned down a lot in his later years, for some reason.

They probably invented the death threats, forced removal of his family from their home by NOI members, and the sentiments spoken by that well-known shill for the FBI, Louis Farrakhan.

Or he was killed for changing his mind when he realized the problem was a little bigger than just one color versus another vying for who got to be the rightest group on a pile of dead bodies.

If you want to cling to a dated, cherry-picked ideology which espouses, supports, and breeds contempt for other races, have at it, tiger. I've seen crazy people do weirder things for lesser motives than racial identity before.

You may want to look up the court documents for the Hayer affidavits.

Incidentally, if you're looking for a good firebrand of a political leader to consider a heroic figure, try Augustin Bizimana. He also advocated for killing people who believed in different ideologies. Plus, he's definitely black.

Or you're another person with an opinion who has no more or less authority than the next person with an opinion, and should know that speaking on behalf of an entire spectrum of people on their behalf is what starts problems before it fixes anything.

People help people. People hurt people. People who speak for large groups of people have faulty judgment and terrible logic. I represent my own race and ethnicity and do not focus on it. No choice of mine will change my skin pigment a shade darker or lighter, nor would I want it to. What I do with my voice is up to me. Don't raise it on my behalf again.

I speak for the militant African-Americans; the Malcolm X's , the Huey P. Newtons, and the Stokely Carmichaels. I speak for the Black Panther party, which is now defunct due to the intrigues of the US Government.

I firmly believe that we must free ourselves from the yoke of the Oppressors By Any Means Necessary, and that we can protect and help ourselves, without the help of outside intervention.

"I believe in the brotherhood of man, all men, but I don't believe in brotherhood with anybody who doesn't want brotherhood with me. I believe in treating people right, but I'm not going to waste my time trying to treat somebody right who doesn't know how to return the treatment."

"I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being, neither white, black, brown nor red. When you are dealing with humanity as one family, there's no question of integration or intermarriage. It's just one human being marrying another human being, or one human being living around and with another human being."

"In the past, yes, I have made sweeping indictments of all white people. I will never be guilty of that again — as I know now that some white people are truly sincere, that some truly are capable of being brotherly toward a black man. The true Islam has shown me that a blanket indictment of all white people is as wrong as when whites make blanket indictments against blacks."

You may wish to take Malcolm X from the list. He was assassinated by three members of the Nation of Islam, likely for changing his rhetoric. He grew concerned about death threats against his family from his former compatriots. One of the most iconic images of him has him holding a rifle and peering out of a window, prepared to defend himself against the Nation of Islam's assassins.

Unless, of course, you're suggesting that killing African-Americans is ideologically supported behavior and it is endorsed by your ethos. In which case, you've certainly made a clear case on finding a racist a lot sooner than I expected.

I only care about people of my race.

You should.

I hope none of you thought I was suggesting that we poor, helpless black people need others to care about us. We do not. We neither desire your help or enjoy it.

Your problems mean absolutely nothing to me.

They should not, and I would be a fool to expect them to mean anything to you.

Why would it trouble me if implications existed?

It shouldn't.

Is there something wrong with my statement? Are you implying a thing?

I only care about people of my race.

And @spasticgoat gets it in one. @Cirno making it a "black thing" is being so disingenuous it verges on … wait for it! … black comedy.

Your casually racist attitude endears you to me in ways I can't even begin to properly feel, chum.
"It's not my job to care about non-black people."

Okay.

I'm perfectly willing to agree.

They aren't our allies, for certain.

"Our".
