I wouldnt say King was hated but once he became a symbol of police on black violence, cism ensued. Cac would roll their eyes if you brought King up. Cacs assassinated his character to make an argument that he basically deserved it. They did it to Travyon right now.

@BarNone can we do something about the racism in this thread?

I've voiced time and again that we shouldn't be using terms like that in here. People complained in other forums when mods started editing things out of people's posts. So basically, it's either people post without that terminology or I just have to delete the post as opposed to editing something out.

I'm really not in the business of deleting posts so....

I really don't people think about how offensive some of the things they say are. I try not to let it get to me, but sometimes I fail...

so the acronym C@C in all it's variations is out? It's an acronym.. it could also stand for crazy as$ Caucasian. Is that also racist? And is it actually possible to have a phrase that is technically racist towards the most dominate racial group of a nation?

I guess it is.

Really? If I say cac it's short for caucasian. We're talking about white people after all.
People are way to race sensitive in The United States. If we limit dialog it will only hurt progress for everyone.

I'm more worried about the generalizations being made, than the particular words that are used

You're trying to go on about the technicalities of racism, but I just mean bigotry period. I've seen people throw out derogatory remarks towards every ethnic group that is not black on here with no remorse. As far as CAC goes, there's a reason that the "cac" smiley doesn't exist anymore. People can claim they're using it to just blanket-ly refer to white people in a non-discriminatory manner or only to refer to a certain type of white person, but you can play that game with anything.

With me it's simple, CAC is not some common derogatory term so I only enforce not using that if people are bothered by it. It's why I've never enforced it before. If no one complains then :manny: But if your post gets deleted before getting mad at me just know that someone/enough someones complained about it.
