fcgamer | 4,754 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Actually guys, thanks to the C-Team (Corey, Cody, etc) I've had an epiphany. I'm here to join my brother's and sisters here in fighting the good fight. Let's destroy all copies of M.C. Kids on NES. It's racist as the black guy is not the default. Let's destroy all copies of the original NES Double Dragon game. The black characters in the game are all bad guys. And don't get me started on the game pool. We use the white ball to hit the black ball, as well as the coloured balls, trying to drop them out of sight into little caskets, err I mean pockets. Let's start some petitions here on VGS, we can win this fight! Edited July 22, 2020 by fcgamer 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the false mindset that all white people automatically get a free pass because of their skin color. Just over the weekend in Detroit, a black male executed 3 people in a restaurant, and left one in critical condition. Guess what, he was arrested by police within a day or two, still alive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main issue I take with stuff like this is that the same exact outcome could (and does) happen if the suspect was black. Blanket statements like "imagine if she were black" are toxic and fall apart so quickly when examples are provided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How you gonna bitch about on off examples and then use a one off example to justify your point? What makes you think that if that exact situation happened with a black teenage female, that it wouldn't have resulted in the same outcome? That's the problem. Absolutely no proof or pattern that suggests she was taken into custody without being killed just because she is white. Talk about a racist mindset... I bitched about people using examples like this to prove "white privilege" when I can easily provide extremely similar examples of the same outcome, but with a black suspect. By that logic, wouldn't it prove "black privilege"? My point was that it's not as simple as claiming "white privilege" when plenty of black suspects are treated the same in similar situations. Just like plenty of white people have been unjustly killed by police. Their "white privilege" tank must've run dry at that point I guess? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who focus on scenarios like this and claim "white privilege" while ignoring other scenarios of black people being apprehended without harm is what will keep promoting unnecessary racial tension and divide. Those narrow-minded, heavily vocal people do much more harm than good by promoting racial divide and only viewing scenarios based on skin color alone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, a GIF to reflect how ignorant I am instead of actually addressing the flawed logic and double standard. Classic. Let's keep an eye on how much positivity comes from people running around throwing false "white privilege" claims at situations that have absolutely nothing to do with it. I'm not as optimistic of the results as you seem to be. But perhaps if more people were to throw "black privilege" claims against black suspects who are arrested without harm, people would start realizing how ridiculous and hypocritical their claims of "white privilege" are in scenarios like this... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
