Long time lurker on the site and I've noticed this forum has been getting a lot posts by Alt-Right users. They all use same talking points you see on reddit, ,/pol/, and just about every forum dominated by these insecure and socially retarded white males. I can't be the only one who notices this. I get that they think they can effect change by spouting their nonsense on every platform possible, but what I don't get is all the effort these people put into a hip-hop/sports forum. Seems like a waste of time to me, but maybe someone can explain. Just my view on things and I hope they'll be gone after the election.

So it's an open forum, they can come in and speak their mind so long as it doesn't go against any standing rules. There have always been right wing nuts on this site, it balances out what would otherwise be a circle jerk of political opinion. It can sometimes get crazy, especially during election season.

I like o think that in the end reason wins out, but can you really reason with an ideologue?

If you see something that's NOT supposed to be here, report it.

And by "NOT supposed to be here" I don't mean something that is diametrically opposed to your view, I means something that violates forum rules and such.

I agree with you but how you only have three post in four years?

Alt-righters are the easiest bunch of fags to debate,
most of their arguments stem from emotion and bitterness about "the downfall of the white race". No real logic behind anything they have to say, just "Muh white culture"
let them come here en masse:pachaha:

more people read than respond.

If they responded more, assuming they lean left, the board wouldn't look so one sided right now.

Unfortunately as people on the left tend to be more pragmatic (:takedat:) they don't often see debating a moron on the right as being fruitful so they don't do it.

Sadly the morons on the right think that because people aren't arguing with them that their POV is somehow justified and validated.

Even more sad is that when you do argue with them they tend to double down on their ignorant stance and find pride in "pissing off a lefty"...


quite the conundrum. :jbhmm:

I here you and I want want discussion open discussion. But these guys seem off to me. Why fake being black? Why hang around a race of people you hate? I wonder what they're like in real life...

So my stance has always been, if you don't respond to troll their post sink to page 2, then are never seen again. That's the beauty of a message board.

Sometimes they'll get on a rant and create a thread that they only post to, in which case, don't read it.

There are work arounds
