This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

So The Anti Defamation League is now defining racism as being only by white people against people of color. But doesn’t that exclude a lot of what happened during the holocaust?

https://www.adl.org/racism

  Well, I think the ADL feels its a bit early to simply say their true position, that they hate white people.  It also seems the ADL does not feel jews, regardless of skin color, are white.  So no, it does not exclude a thing I am sure.

If I were you people I'd abandon this line FAST. It's ban bait as surely as it rains in Ireland.

Few things will get you banned here:

Posting politics unrelated to gamming anywhere else but this part of the forum.

Spouting ACTUAL white supremacist spiels

Spouting ACTUAL anti-semitism

From what I've seen criticizing anything/anyone is valid and won't even earn you a warning.

This place is owned by an actual libertarian/conservative

The mods either share his political views or at least his love for free speech.

Saying that those ONGs/groups hate white people doesn't even register in the richter scale.

And you'll find a few non-white people here that do agree that seems to be the case. I for example.

  I do not watch any TV, so I will take your word for it.  I still do not quite get where the ban minefield is.  I guess I am just missing the hidden message.

He thinks this site is like TBP or any other leftist run site. He's wrong.

The ADL has went the way of the ACLU some time ago. 
ADL Hires Jewish Jew-Hater as Director for Jewish Outreach

So we can add the Jews to those that the ADL hates...

Fuck me, if these racists can infiltrate the ADL what can't they infiltrate?

His concern is duly noted. After all, he created a new account here just to express his concern.

And to say "92%" an awful lot.  I don't know what that's alluding to but I suspect it's not benign.

92% is not even in the top 5% of content creators.

Any of them. Look, just flipping through the cursed channels on free tv all I see are ads and programs about evil whites and racism.

So why don't the people those groups- ALL OF THEM- are supposed to speak for ever speak up loud and clear about them being extremists?

I'll warn you again, youre all stomping through a ban minefield here.

Welcome newbie 😀

Considering the sheer amount of ideological capture, I don’t think the woke will be going away any time soon no matter how much public attitude turns against them.

I don’t work in a creative field, but I do write on my spare time. I’m somewhat paranoid. In order to future proof my work against wokies, I deliberately don’t write white characters in order to protect my characters from being racebent or genderbent or queered, because it’s not considered kosher to do that to characters who aren’t white.

Even then I’m worried it’s not enough.

We've turned the corner! They only control the entire education establishment, the deep state bureaucracy, the Washington establishment, the military, big tech, the Fortune 500, and the last two generations of kids! They're on the ropes!

Yeah, that's right, Pat. Our culture is pretty much fucked.

I've said this for awhile now. It would take far too many people, in every area of society, to be pushing back and counter-attacking--ferociously--for the next 20 years straight. THEN our culture might have a chance at redemption. You can't undo 50 years of fucking Communist/Feminist propaganda and take-over in a few years, or with just a few people.

I don't see our society having that many people resisting, ferociously, for as many years as it would take to save our country. It's too late. The cancer, the debauchery, the mindless stupidity, the love of being ass-fucked slaves to a globalist tyranny, of gulping the shit down, is just too deep.

Semper Fidelis,

  Sort of made me LOL to see Whoopi Goldberg make the point for me on this whole thing with the holocaust and how the ADL would view the perspective she presented (after their change of the definition of racism).

I must admit that I never had Whoopi running defense for Nazis on my 2022 bingo card.

The ADL changed their definition back to a more sensible one again due to that whole situation. Their behavior does make them look pretty pathetic on the whole.

  LMAO on that one, I guess they got a chance to get body checked in real time, and hilarious they changed that one up...odd they never had the thought that you did, that folks "not in the know" might see them as white people as well.  They could send Whoopi a consultant payment for helping them out.
