That’s real life. Racism isn’t this universal, omnipresent cancer that infects every soul like liberals want you to think.

Sport should remind you that the world is so much nicer than what race hustlers are trying to sell you. Ignore them and I stead watch the end if this game to see west it’s really like.

So we are including ridiculous tropes and not just real human beings in this then?

The introduction of this thread alone, is ridiculous.

I suppose next, we'll be seeing a thread called "Racists and Gaslighting the Non-Woke". :lol:

I don't think it's ridiculous to shine a light on cockroaches.

What's ridiculous is normalizing extremist, far-right trolling posts that attempt to dehumanize and demonize a majority of Americans and contribute nothing to the community. You all would have laughed him off the boards pre-Trump. Sad how much damage the previous admin did to the discourse in this country.

So where is the same concern for the the extremist far left posts that attempt to dehumanize and demonize half of Americans and contribute nothing to the community?

Feel free to suggest a specific such post when it occurs and we can discuss how 'ridiculous' it is specifically. Surely there will be some such to suggest. Not merely offensive, but actually 'ridiculous' as in obviously inaccurate. Misinformation/disinformation on its face. Ridiculous.

BTW, I've referred to such from left-leaning posters in the Administrative threads discussing 'trolling' and what IMO constitutes something worthy of a penalty and what does not.

For instance, IMO, a cartoon clearly intended as humor or satire, may well be upsetting to some, but I'm not sure it needs to be penalized. Unless it's based on clearly false information, ala "Russian troll misinformation/disinformation campaigns"; doesn't matter whether it's left or right.

But mere humor, with a sharp point of view, seems ok to me. On the other hand, if it's accompanied by rhetoric from the poster that clearly contains inflammatory disinformation and it's clear that the poster's intent is simply to offend and divide, then we're back to "Russian troll" territory. Warning then penalty.

Gonna be hard to administer, but important principle is to cut out the blatantly false, hate-filled, poisonous crappola.

This first post (below) inducted into the Ridiculous Posts Hall of Fame wasn't inducted out of concern. It was inducted out of appreciation. It's a truly impressive piece.

If you know anything about World Soccer and why FIFA created their campaign to combat racism, it's hard to not appreciate the jaw-dropping beauty of this post. Like all good art, it's seemingly birthed from the divine.
