i'm distrubed...

Last night I went to Ryan's house and he had this discussion forum thing up on his computer, so I started reading it. I've gotta say, I've read some pretty ignorant and hurtful shit in my time but this was ridiculous. It was supposed to be a video game forum to discuss a video game but somehow it had turned into a race discussion. And by race

WTF? People who write stuff like that must be living under a rock. That is absolutely disgusting. When people say things like that, it makes THEM sound like the ignorant ones. I feel the same anger when people joke about how "gay" something is, or when they call someone a "fag." That is just not OK at all. I thought society was moving past all this.

However, the people who are saying this stuff are losers who are too cowardly, and are writing this crap on a Web site...probably from the basements of their parent's houses.

i agree, they are cowards, most of them didn't even post under a name, just anonymous, how pathetic.

Ditto to everything Karen said. Plus, due to the fact that it's a video game website they're probably either like 12 years old or so addicted to video games that they never see the light of day. In light of this they probably are just such ignorant douches that they've never even met a black person, actually they probably haven't even met that many people at all. They are cowards and not worth your time or worry.

I totally agree with you about the n-word. I know it's not the same level, but I feel the same way about the c word. I don't like it at all, period. I know people feel like words are just words, that they shouldn't hurt, or that they should be "reclaimed" but I disagree. There are just some words with too much history and stigma that they are better off forgotten.

I have learned to never under estimate the power of stupidity. It's sad that there are still people like this in the world....i would think that we'd but to smart for this.

The fact that these people have to post crap like that on a gaming message board shows that they are ignorant losers.

Sarah's right, these people are not worth your time.

You are an amazing beautiful woman, Aria... you are one of the best people in my life, and anyone who is too ignorrant to see that in you simply because of the color of your skin doesn't deserve to be given a second thought. If anything, feel sorry for them... they will miss out on a great deal of love, life and friendship due to their ignorrance and discrimination.

You have every right to be upset, mad, even FURIOUS... but honestly, isn't that reaction these assholes are looking for?

And to be quite honest again... those basement-dwelling creepy nerd boys couldn't handle a strong woman like yooooooooooooooou. ;)

miss you!
