So you got rid of the fucking monkey?

[IV]

I honestly thought everybody evolved from monkeys and apes and stuff. So why can only black people be offended by it? I don't understand.

[Jack Swagger]

Because Monkey/Ape is sort of like the N bomb. It's a term used against blacks meant to be racially degrading.

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

It was used to make blacks feel sub-human I guess.

Maaaan, if gettin called a monkey (espcially over tha net) offends u, then u have serious self issues...Black, White, or anything between.

Shiii how many times Just or Rainy or Ohs drop tha N bomb and niggas chill it over?? ....that monkey stood for a lot, alot more than jus callin a dark skin bitch a monkey.

Wow. Just wow.

Next you'll be branching out and telling that man he can't dive in that freezing pond to save that child because he doesn't have his 100 meter swimming certificate. Or banning full contact football from schools as well as wins and losses to help boost their "self esteem" or maybe make ya kids wear rubber suits for when they play in the yard. You took that monkey down when It wasn't once used in a racial manner. Not ONCE.

The PC brigade has well and truly entered the building.

That's so fucking stupid. Calling a black person an ape is offensive? WHY THOUGH? Because they look like Monkeys? But so do white people? Fucking ridiculous. When FAME called Student a fat mexican and got 'banned' over it, everyone was in the threads saying how fucking stupid it was that student got so offended? But as soon as it's a black person everybody agrees that the monkey emotion is wrong? Lmao. Take a look at yourselves.

On a side note, enough people use 'white ****insert insult****' in a derogatory way and on here and nobody bats an eyelid.

Double standards?

I might quit LB based on this alone

[Jack Swagger]

Actually, we loved that Monkey emotion. A few of us are black, and we are absolutely in revolt that our little friend became removed.

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

If the white man hasn't complained about the term then it isn't really a double standard. If the black man complains, well then he feels offended. But if a White dude isn't offended on the terms there isn't much you can do. It becomes less of Black/White and more of the character of the person.

[IV]

White people just don't give a fuck, apparently we're not as sensitive lol.

I miss the monkey :(

[BLNK]

I suggested to Grizz a site boycott. We could effectively kill the forum.

for the record i ain't agree...... as grown men (most of us) we've all dealt with some form of racism (non-whites) this one of those situations where there were 2 roads the bigger man road wasn't chosen and this is where it leads to.... enjoy

If you really think of the removal of a gif from a message board as punishment then there's MUCH deeper issues going on here.

The removal of the Monkey is a symbol of political correctness gone mad and a sign of a nanny/Nazi (Nannazy?) state being put into place. It's much more than an emoticon. It's a symbol of freedom.

Seriously. IDK why people suddenly think racism is such a huge problem on this site. This place has to be one of the most tame/fair places regarding race on the internet that I frequent. It's only going to happen if people keep bringing it up to the point where trolls know they can use it to get to people. Don't want that to happen? Knock it off. :cmonson:

[J u s T C]

The point you are missing completely though is that the monkey has been labelled with the racist tag when it wasn't even used with that in mind. That's the fucked up thing about it. People use the race card far too often as it is. and you just provide more power to that by removing something that wasn't even used in a racial way in the first place.

You've actually done more bad than good. It sends out the wrong message.

Is it just a animation?

Yes. But there is more to it than that, because if there wasn't you wouldn't have removed it in the first place.

Wait Wait Wait.. the entire FAME banning was a joke.. guess it's on you. ask him lmao He was in on it the whole time.

The Monkey got brought up because someone couldn't just said "aight" and leave the situation alone. Yeah, I didn't like where it was going at all, as a mod or a black person but the point is ...anyone with common sense could have just stepped away from it like "word, that could be fucked up at some point" but nobody did so there you have it.

this whole this-n-that about it is dumb. and y'all really come off as Squidbillies crying about it. Use your Bristol City educated fucking brain on this OR take a trip to Brixton and ask the "ape" at the fuckin bar for a pint and see what happens lmao all up to you sis...(shrugs)

Not everything is about race, it's a cunting monkey jumping up and down, and the fact YOU let DPS break up because one of your members pulled out the race card when he took an L from somebody who uses said emotion in a completely non-racist context, just shows how sensitive some people really can be.

It was a few clicks in the ACP to remove it. That's still more effort than I would have liked to have made over something so fucking retarded but that's what it came down to because some faggots decided to start an argument over it and I wanted to stop that argument. I know you're all "Mindless is on some bullshit over there removing the emoticon so I'm gonna prove him wrong." but you're not seeing the big picture. You're looking at this one thing and not seeing where it's going and I'm trying to do something good for the welfare of this board and the site in general.

Here's what you guys don't get. Up until this place LB has been pretty much free of the "race debates" bullshit. It got brought up once in a while but it was always talked about tactfully and never got too far out of hand or spread outside the thread that it was in. We've always been good about joking with one another on the subject and not getting real salty about it too. Proof of that is that just about every thread I pop into turns into a string of Jew jokes and I'm okay with that. I've seen hispanic jokes, black jokes, white jokes and everyone's always been cool. I removed the monkey because someone decided to get sand in their pussy about some other shit and claim that that emoticon was something else. I got rid of it before that shit could spread out, and it would have, but now this Pandora's box has been opened and a carcinogen has been injected into these boards. I've seen a few posts of this shit already in this thread and I know exactly where it's headed. I don't want that shit here. I have to deal with it elsewhere but I don't want to deal with it in the one place that's always been free of it. You guys wanna keep arguing this bullshit but all you're doing is spreading the cancer. I did my best to contain it by merging the three threads (ABOUT A FUCKING EMOTICON). I'm asking nicely now that you guys knock this shit off and just go about your business like before and forget about that stupid fucking monkey. If you just HAVE to use it than img tag it in. I don't care, but it's not going back in the list no matter how much you guys argue about it.

Right now I'm just containing this cancer and keeping it from spreading in the hopes that it will go into remission on it's own. The next step is chemo.

tl;dr I'm not putting it back so you can stop arguing about it now. If you have a problem with that then you can take it up with the guy who decided to ruin it for everyone by telling him what an asshole he is. Also, let's not make this place like other places where every other thread is a race debate because honestly, at that point, I'm not even going to want to be here anymore.

Nice reach. The DPS Split wasnt based on this whole situation though. A lot of people would like to take credit for it but it was a seperate descision all together. You might as Punk as to why DPS split because he's just about the only person to ask literally.

In relation to the emoticon.. I remember escalating a thread based on how somebody reacted when I asked them to chill on it without bias to whom was involved. And that person didnt have anything to do with DPS. I did my job as a mod and addressed it. How people react to it is really their descision.

I appreciate the invested interest though.
