Fuck WP

I just got a temporary ban for calling someone a "fucking ravioli". I called them this because they were saying only white people can be racist in my thread about white privilege, and in response to a user pointing out the oppression of Irish people, they said that Irish people are "swarthy" and non-white. I found this to be completely ridiculous, and as a person with a fair amount of Irish blood and pasty white skin, I think I understandably was irritated by this.

I know personal attacks are against the rules in PPR, but I figured that, given the amount of people making personal attacks on me and getting no moderator attention for it, that calling those people morons was a fairly tame response that was not unwarranted. I was still responding to their arguments directly, whereas they were completely ignoring mine, and were continually changing the topic to my white skin, yet I'm the one who got banned. Absolutely ridiculous.

And as if banning me wasn't enough, they also locked my thread, effectively shutting down whatever small amount of productive dialogue I started on the topic of unfair stereotypes against white people, and more generally the anti-white sentiment and condescending attitudes towards black people that dominate discussions among supposed liberals.

I am a liberal, but I am absolutely disgusted by the behavior of these "liberals" who believe that they are morally superior (and just superior in general) to others, simply because they refuse to talk about the real problems within the black community, problems that most black people recognize and want to discuss. Anyone who even criticizes BLM, regardless of their reason or background, is considered to be racist by these idiots.

It is a sad day when people like Sarah Palin become the voice of reason. She was called a racist by The Young Turks for simply saying she found the behavior of the rioters in the BLM movement to be "not peaceful". I have been called racist many times on Wrong Planet for holding similar views about BLM, but those people were not banned. Instead, MY thread was closed (a different one before this) because the mods deemed it to be too controversial, even though the only people making it bad were the ones coming in and calling me racist and changing the topic of discussion to personal attacks on me.

But apparently that's my fault for even bringing up BLM without saying how progressive and great they are.
