Aside from a handful of users I don't think many do.

They just don't fall for the unintentionally ironic trick of just calling someone a Nazi purely because you dislike, disagree with or fear because they are smarter than you.

There's been a recent push of going "This guy is a Nazi, therefore its okay to kill/punch/ruin him!" and the definition of "Nazi" has slipped solemly.

I mentioned in another topic that Richard Dawkins, JonTron, PewdiePie, James Woods etc are on the list of facist Nazis. Just because it's easier than actually listening to them disagree with you

All the NPCs and world governments/armies can't stop them but like 6 skinny teenagers with swords and mini-skirts wreck their shit.

I mean in FFVII it took Shinra like everything they had to take down 2 weapons and used a massive amount of energy.

Then Cloud and 2 of his buddies beat 3 of the guys with ease just by hitting them with sticks. And one of them was UNDERWATER


Tifa doesn't even use sticks, she just uses her fists.

Obama did make race relations worse. Things were a lot better before he started taking sides in racial issues. He's the one who invited blm to the whitehouse and endorsed them, remember.



Really? How was things better before him?

Less race riots.
No push for segregation.
No BLM faction.
No Nazi Parades in America since the 1930s
And while violent black crime has decreased it has decreased at significantly lower rate than all other violent crime

Tensions are high. Americans especially white and black men identify more with their skin color than the previous generation ever did.

In 2004 if a guy shot a guy who was trying to murder him. Nobody would defend the aggressor. Now what you defend for millions of people is dependant on what the race of each person was.

You walk into a random home, open a chest and then when you try to leave he's like "Hey! Did you just steal my exlir!?"

Another weird one is Omega Weapon from FFX.

There's a line that he was a traitor who turned on Yevon. but no one actually says what he did, an d Yevon is evil.

Then he just sits at the bottom of a ruin in a room which he is clearly trapped in because the door is like one tenth the size of him.

The ruin is in the middle of no where and only accessable via an airship.

And you just walk in, kill his son, then kill him.

What did Omega do to Yevon? WTF did he do to you? Who was he hurting? Why do we need to kill the poor guy. Hasn't he suffered enough?

This is redoubled in FFX-2 Final Mix where they make it cannon that fiends have emotions.

To be fair, the one pictured is a massive heartless. They only grow in strength after killing a person, and start off as super weak shadows. So it's likely that one in particular has genocided several planets before you show up and stop him from doing the same to Agrabah.

That's an assumption.

For all you know this is a special heartless. I mean Sora is literally a heartless at one point dude. And he was still cool. Maybe the reason why he is so powerful is that he is actually like Lulu from Final Fantasy X turned into a heartless, and you're like just killing Lulu...

Or like the planets he genocided was the planet of the rapist pirate pedophiles.

He was in the middle of no where in the sand playing with his sword. He didn't do nothing until you came a long. give him a break.

In most cases they are just minding their own businsess. Often like at the bottom of dungeons or ruins.

Sure sometimes in some games they have plots and are like super evil. But in most they are just there. Eating sandwiches, going about their day. Sometimes even behind locked doors or puzzles.

And then the hero bursts in and kills them just for the hell of it.

Makes you wonder like if you're on the toilet and a wasp flies in and tries to sting you. that's like being an OP superboss and some low level player is trying to take you on. That's what you are in these games, an annoying wasp bugging some superboss that just wants to take a shit and watch Rick and Morty.

Let me simplify this for you:

"Obama didn't cause a big divide, he simply shone a light on the existing divide."

I don't think the evidence supports that simplistic conclusion.

And even if you choose to emotionally believe it, that doesn't change the point that his presidency resulted in a regression of racial attitudes

Going "Well everyone secretly were nazis and people secreltly wanted segregation back and secretly were planning spontanious race riots. It was just Obama drawing attention to the divison that mae them all do it." sounds like Excuse making of the 9th degree to me. Even if you do choose to believe it, which I do not think you actually do

Problems can't be solved until they are identified. The biggest leap forwards in racial relations all happened during a time period when we talked about it the most. Dialogue always helps.


This is stupid logic. Your using intentional vagueness and wide strokes to cover for not actually making a point.

"Obama causing big divides and enforcing the importance of race and how different people are based on race was actually a leap forward because dialogue helps." is a non-sequtiur.

Conflating "Ignoring is bad." with "Doing anything whatsoever is helpful." is just being childish.

Simply put, Obama being HNIC is how race relations got set back. Literally people getting worried that a black leader had it out for white people, so they would see anything he does as an attack on them, like a windmill and Don Quixote. Very quixotic, but point is, Obama didn't make people become racist, that's bullshit and it's bullshit to have ever suggested that.

Yet this never occured among the anti-Catholics under JFK.

In fact bigoted hatred of Catholics decreased during and following his rule.

Interesting that.

And you say "Well the alternative is to ignore everything!"

And I reject that those are the only two options, regardless of which option is the "right" one.

Going back to JFK he never ignored his faith, he was proud of it. So much so that it annoyed his campaigners who wanted him to hide it.

But he also never did speeches about how people hated him because he was Catholic, even though it's probably true. Because they don't do anything apart from draw lines and build walls.

Now in the 21st century hardly anyone hates Catholics to the extent that when Atheists attack them for their global protection of child rapists people get angry at the Atheists for bringing it up not the Cathoics for defending and allowing it.

You're blaming the current neo Nazi rise on Obama pointing out he has suffered racism.


You're claiming Jamie Lee Curtis designed nukes for North Korea.


I can make up random shit too.

Your argument is that exposing this reality helped create a rift between racist and people suffering from racism.


Not quite. One of several ideas raised is that making a massive deal about how important race is and how if you're a different race you're different to another race, especially black people and white people, helped create a divide and seperation between people of different races. Especially black and white people.

The fact the opening response of the topic was people angrly hating on the evil white man demonstrated that instantly.

No idea of central shared humanity and lack of a difference between people is embraced. Instead, it's our group and their group and the groups don't get on.

I ask, is that truly a step backwards?


In the sense that it is in line of the thinking from 1900s to 1960s? Yes.

Were things less racist before Obama, or was the racism just less obvious?


Literal Nazi parades in the streets.
Literal race riots.
Literal calls for segregation.

I'm a big subjective and gray guy, but this is pretty clear cut.

I'd love to hear your argument for 2005 being more racist though.

They could never understand the significance of Obama being elected twice .They can never understand what it's like to have a President that understands you and knows your needs.

Probably not because I don't indentify myself as different and superior to others.

My successes and failures are of my own actions, I don't create myself a tribe and vicariously live through its champions.

I don't view that as a negative though.

I mean, is your point that religious opinions have changed in the last what, 6 decades? Are you owing that to JFK not making speeches about his religion?


No it's not that simple.

I'm just trying to demonstrate how actions affect attitudes and perceptions.

JFK could have made religious divides and opinions a lot stronger had he acted differently. His actions helped shape attitudes and views. Namely that being Catholic actually wasn't a big deal or that relevant to identity.

Obama on the other hand promoted that race is a big deal and very relevant to identity. And you see the type of attitudes that grow in response to that.

I'm trying to explain a point to you.

Again, I'm not saying it's either do this or do that. The choices are to talk about it, or ignore it. My only point is that I don't necessarily see it as a negative to bring issues to the spotlight


"Talk about it" is very board though

Saying "I want to kill that girl" and "I want to watch Popeye with that girl" is talking about that girl.

Feel like that is a non statement.

If it results in a bigger divide, then it results in a bigger divide.


Which sets relations black

My point was that not talking about an issue that exists, isn't a positive.

Which is debatable to begin with and secondly, it's not an either/or choice.

Neil deGrasse Tyson summed this up very well when people kept asking him "Oh so what's it like being the represenative of black people as the black science guy you black man who is pushing boundires of race because you are black."

It's not helping.

emblem boy posted...

and I have no response for the other examples right now because I don't have the stats. I don't think he made racial remakes bi weekly, and I can't search through all his speeches right now for his mentions of other minority groups, so I can't really comment on those.

It's not so much about minority groups.

It's just pointing out that he made a big big deal about "Black and White" yet barely mentioned anyone or anything that wasnt black or white.

Which instantly tells you something about division.

Chinese-Americans and Anglo-Americans arent feeling the same tension that is being felt by African Amerians and Anglo Americans right now. Nor are they sharing the same depressing statistics of education and crime, nor are they calling for segregation.

I was about to say there's no "Chinese lives matter" group but on second thought there almost certainally is But there is no CLM faction of importance or note

I'd argue it's even harder than that.

At least Christians and Muslims and Jews can enjoy the olive Branch of being Children of the book who all share monotheistic male-dominated beliefs that share dozens of stories and morals.

You can sell Allah to Christians as just a misunderstanding of Yahweh.

There were people who didn't like him for being black. I can't agree with your reasoning that talking about a matter that exists is some how negative.


So you think if JFK had one speeches about how is Catholic and people hate him because he is Catholic, that wouldn't have resulted in a bigger divide between Catholics and non-Catholics?

And you will never answer that question.

So sure, maybe you can say him talking about race put race relations in a spotlight and you can say it increased racial tension, but I don't see that as a negative, if the alternative is to ignore the issue that clearly exists.


That's your opinion.

I would argue it's a stupid one though. There is more to life than "Ignore everything" and "Make massive massive divides and splits and big deals about specific things."

And I think you know that considering what pieces you choose to reply to and what you choose to ignore. Just like Obama

He talked about it and promoted it in a way that caused it revert backwards.

IF he had talked about and promoted it in aw ay that caused progression to continue, then his presidency wouldn't have set race relations back

This is quite simple


What would be some examples for both?


Well that's purely a matter of speculation. There are no solid answers to that.

But in my opinion: Well i already mentioned the fact he literally did speeches about being black and about how people don't like him because he was black.

Making a big big big big big deal about your skin color and how different you are and how you're seperate from others because of it just reinforces walls between people.

Others have already mentioned his refusal to condemn Trayvon Martin for attempting to murder an innocent man while a very confused, divided and scared America looked at him for guidance. He just pussyfooted both the emootional and the reasonable sides into further seperation.

His open support of the Black Lives Matter faction that was intentionally trying to divide people.

Basically every time (which was bi-monthly if not bi-weekly) he made it a vitally relevant fact whether or not the people or issue he was dealing with was about black or white people and how different they are.

Also the ultimate irony of barely even mentioning anyone who wasn't white or black. Just focusing on those groups. To find Obama even mention Asian people or Hispanic people you have to search for speeches directly at centers or groups designed for Asian or hispanic crowds.

Yet if it was a speech about Healthcare or trade he'd find a way to bring white and black into it.

On the flip-side I already gave the JFK Example. How easy it would have been for him to make people hate Catholics more.

I think if Obama had never made a big deal about "Black and white" treated people as people. Did speeches and made points as if everyone on Earth was green and just laughed off the racists who hated him instead of making a big deal about them (and thus legitimazing the seperation and division they claim existed) it got brought back.

Imagine a world where instead of getting on a mic in front of millions and going "People hate me because I am black." a man says "Hey maybe we shouldn't put people in prison for smoking pot."

And then imagine how people 5 years down the line act differently due to those statements

Pretty sure the point in contention is that you're assigning Obama the blame for racists being racist.

You're projecting.

Is the idea that because Obama talked about it, he set it back? race relations have always been bad for a long time, actually talking about something thay exists shouldn't really be considered a negative

And now your tune has changed.

"Obama never set us back!""

is

"I like the fact Obama set us back because the old attitude was better than the new one"

And the saddest part is you cant even see it.

I'm not convinced color blindness is a good thing.

And boom.

This is what the duration of the Obama presidency has caused millions to believe.

The same attitude of the 1900s-1960s

In other words, race relations have regressed.

Although they would have phrased it in different wording obviously

If you really want to go down that route, Obama had nothing to do with that.


That's debatable. It's a matter of opinion.

Those were all dumbasses clinging to any shred of bullshit they could find because they hated the idea of a Black President. Trump included.


And a stronger leader would have quelled that.

Remember JFK was hated on because he was Catholic.

Know how that bias died down? Because he didn't make a big deal about it and act like there was a divide amongst people. He just treated as Christians as the same.

Imagine the backlash that would have occured if JFK did a "Some people just hate me because I am Catholic" speech like Obama literally did:

True or not, what do you think the resut of such division is going to be?

Because you are wrong. It is angry white men who are setting back race relations.

Again, going "Race relations aren't set back it's just whities being idiots as usual." just literally right there shows that race relations have been set back.

That would have been considered an absurd racist thing to say in 2006 and gotten you strange looks.

I mean, that's what happened.

Republicans made a big deal out of his birth certificate because he wasn't American enough. They used Kenyan as an insult. They used Muslim as an insult. They went heavy on voter suppression tactics. Their new candidate brought back Nixon's southern strategy to win.

Race relations were set back because we had a black president, voted in heavily by a black constituency, not because of Obama specifically.


So in other words: Obama's presidency set race relations back.

Only in the sense that conservative white america felt threatened by the idea of black people gaining any ground on them politically

I think the fact you both jump to "NO THE EVIL WHITE CONSERVATIVE DEVIL WAS JUST FURIOUS AT THE BLACK MAN!"

Just demonstates how set back you both are in race relations like millions of others.

Intentionally or not Obama made a big deal about viewing/judging differently based on race, especially "White" and "Black" people.

Which is going black from the promotion of colorblindness that had began in the 60s and grew to huge heights by 2004.

Now we live in a world were people are trying to promote segregation again, and you literally can't even defend progressivism without ranting about "the white man." says it all there.

Last weekend American Nazis marched down the street like it was the 1930s

TopicPrisoners translate books into Braile for blind students.

Roughly 23 prisoners at the Scotland Correctional Institution in Laurinburg, North Carolina have been trained and are now dedicating their remaining prison time to transcribing books into braille for blind students and adults.

The braille books are actually requested by teachers and crisis centers in Wyoming, Connecticut, Colorado, and North Carolina. They require a team of six translators to complete because many of the books are educational texts on science, math, and music.

According to WFMY, it can take anywhere from 8 to 12 months to learn regular braille – and it can take years to become adept at transcribing music. The correctional institution’s Braille Transcribing Plant says that because braille translators are always in high demand, prisoners only have a 3% recidivism rate after pursuing the career outside of jail.

“They enjoy what they’re doing. To know that they’re responsible for that child having a book in the classroom,” said plant manager Cynthia Stubbs in an interview with WFMY News. “They’re just dedicated, they really are.”

The translating plant is just one of many initiatives of Correctional Enterprise, an organization dedicated to providing life skills that become rehabilitative opportunities for inmates. In 2016 alone, the Braille Transcribing Plant translated over 1,000 books for blind citizens.

The inmates know the value of what they are doing, too. “It is kind of ironic that I do find myself now in a position where I can give back. I can really benefit myself and others.”

Neat, but didn't they do a bit of dubbing for DBZ Kai? So it technically it wouldn't be their first official dubbing.


No they didn't. DBZ Kai used clips of DBZ Abridged for the in-universe TV adaptation of the Cell Games where all the protagonists complained about how awful they're being portrayed.

wait what? got a vid?



For the record this was not shown on TV and is a DVD exclusive. Was supposed to be a selling point but no one cared

There was a neo-Nazi rally over the weekend, and it turned violent. One of the Neo-Nazis also ran his car into a crowd of counter-protesters, which led to the death of one of them.

Oh fuck. I see the issue then.

More to the point where Trump enters into it, after spending 9 years attacking Obama for being soft on people who commit violence and 2 years being brazen about everything, Trump was suspiciously PC and very very quiet about Nazis murdering Americans.

Even when other conservatives were not.

So he got a lot flack for a couple of days.

Police in Arao City, Kumamoto Prefecture, have arrested a 31-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder after he attacked two male acquaintances with a sickle in the parking lot of a home improvement store.

According to police, the incident occurred just after noon on Sunday. Fuji TV quoted witnesses as saying the man got into a quarrel with two male acquaintances (aged 50 and 49). He then inflicted cuts to both men’s head and neck with a sickle he had bought at the store, before fleeing the scene in his car.

Police said the two victims were taken to hospital and are in a stable condition.

The suspect, identified as Tetsuya Taketsugu, was arrested Monday morning in Omuta, Fukuoka Prefecture. He was quoted by police as saying he has no recollection of the incident.
