Racism has been a motivating factor in social discrimination, racial segregation and violence, including genocide. Politicians practice race baiting in an effort to win votes. The term racist has been a pejorative term since at least the 1940s, and the identification of a group or person as racist is often controversial.

In there it does not say posting images of people of a different race is racist!!!

Hey. If you feel the Infraction you gained was unfair then you may make a post in this thread. A super moderator will review the infraction and if it was unfair it will be removed.

If someone would like to actually read my post instead of arguing with people who can't do anything about it, and reply what this is in response to then I will personally look into it.

If you don't then I can't.

He also said that the person in the picture is Pleke, a member of this forum.

I personally think this picture is very offensive towards Pleke and towards poor people. Nick. handled this situation well.

Thats sick, he deserves a ban for that

If it was anyone else that posted something racist they would be permed but as its Hecktix he gets away with an infraction and still complains about it

It is a stereotipical and racist image. Saying that a black person is poor. If you deny this then why didnt you post a picture of a white person saying they were poor? It is also offensive to the person in hand. Pleke.

Well if you post an image with a caption like 'this is you lol' and it's someone of a different race, it's insulting the race of the person in the picture you've posted because it could be seen as you're saying people of that race are ugly.

We're not biased. Flicked is a member of the staff, we're not allowed to infract staff, but he has been reported so he will be punished sooner or later.

Because the picture looks like a malnourished african child, using images like that to try and be funny is just wrong.

I believe that is racist and it obviously was meant to be racist.

So now, technically, you're being stereotypical by saying all of Africa is poor; when Africa is a continent and thus far from poor.

Some parts of Africa are poor; as some parts of South America are poor - not all, stop stereotyping.

o.0 Your the one making the rasist black people are poor stereotype here, not him? if he done a white person, would it have been racist because hes stereotyping that white people are poor?

Please choose ether to be rasist, or a hypocrite, its greedy to be both...

The only reason people are taking offense to the picture is due to there own racist predisposition, hence why these values are applied to the image and its seen as such.

If you really were not racist, youd look at the picture and see a PERSON, saying there poor an hungry.
There wouldn't have been the VERY racist assertion that because the person is black and saying there hungry, that they MUST be African for example.
