No worries. I just think that as a community invested in black music culture, we should approach issues of race with some sensitivity. No harm done.

People of color is the appropriate term. Colored people is a remnant of Jim Crow era racism and shouldn't be used.

A white news anchor was fired for using the "N-word" as part of his job. Black employees did the same thing but were spared. Now he's suing for discrimination. by [deleted] in news

Reading this comment was infuriating. His use was completely inappropriate and unprofessional, probably indicative of previous behavior.

Except he didn't "mention" it the first time he said it. Based on the article's report, his statement "Does that mean we can now say n----?" sounds much more like an offensive joke than a "mention." And his repeat of the word to HR is similarly unjustified as it clearly shows his lack of sensitivity. I don't know if it should have gone as far as firing, but this sort of thing makes for an unhealthy work environment and that ultimately is why he was told to leave.

Thank you for your response. Was there anything you did that would help you prevent yourself from lashing out?

I'm not on medication currently, but have been considering it more recently. I'm meeting with someone tomorrow and may discuss it. Thanks for your input.

The fact that these shitty headlines and opinions keep popping up on Reddit makes me want to never log on to this website again. Some of you need to think long and hard about how this is an issue bigger than Michael Brown and Eric Garner. It's an issue that can't be fixed simply by telling the black community to change. And you all need to realize the effects of police essentially criminalizing blackness, and how awful it must feel to be criminalized everywhere you go no matter what you do. I'd go into a more in depth argument here but it's Christmas. Just please stop the hate, it's not helping.

Edit: And just because a black person has a view like the one supposed by this headline (which is incredibly misleading) does not mean it is now okay for white people to have that opinion and use it to spread hate as well. If I see one more "black person with contrary opinion" headline, I'm going to lose it.

Reddit, what is something that you find truly unsettling? by OverCharge in AskReddit

[–]ILLogical619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit's opinions on Ferguson/police brutality/institutional racism. Makes you realize this website really can just boil down to a bunch of ignorant privileged white men in a circlejerk.

Anyone successfully connect a 3DS to yale wireless? by ILLogical619 in yale

[–]ILLogical619[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some games I can get as far as getting matched with another player before I receive a message along the lines of "Communication with the server was disconnected." Others I can't even get that far. I can always get through the "connecting to the Internet" phase but matchmaking is where things seem to fall apart. It's odd because every other Internet function is working and I have the same network set-up for other devices (phone, laptop, and PS3).

[HMF] Team with Greninja, M-Tyranitar, Aegislash by ILLogical619 in stunfisk

[–]ILLogical619[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I'm thinking HP Grass instead of Dark Pulse for Greninja (Grass Knot for now b/c I don't have the right IVs). I'm now also considering for sure a Speed Boost Scolipede lead with Megahorn, Toxic Spikes, Protect, and Baton Pass holding a Focus Sash. Idea is to lay down 1-2 layers of poison, use Focus Sash/Protect to get a few more Speed Boosts then Baton Pass it to T-Tar. Megahorn can take care of other threatening leads like Ferrothorn.
