PC Gone Mad.

    I was recently blocked on quora for mentioning the Haitian racial massacres of the white inhabitants.

    The comment I made that was considered offensive was referring to the fact the haitians did not only massacre those in control and oppressing them, but other white people considered peasants that where also being oppressed.

    Whats wrong with the world seriously, why is it okay to criticize one people for its historical massacres based on race, and not another?

    <nods> seems a lot of people are a bit vague on the fact it's not just what you say, but how you say it.

    I would imagine a link to said offending article might not be forthcoming too quickly though.

    What exactly have I ever said that was racist?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    You were blocked on a website. Hardly PC gone mad. Unless the PC stands for personal computer.

    You love starting threads that have nowhere to go but to racism, anti Muslim or anti traveller tracks.

    Once bitten twice shy.

    I have never started a thread slandering muslims, you must be thinking of someone else, I have views regarding the wars in the middle east that differ from most peoples understanding, You may say I am a "conspiracy theorist".

    I condemn all evils, I criticize every groups actions if their actions are evil or demeaning or oppressive to any other person.

    You actually strongly agreed with me regarding the traveller issue, so don't know why your climbing up on that high horse now.

    So you don't want to throw up a link to what it is you got banned for?

    Or at least copy it here so we might be able to see for ourselves quite how unfairly you were banned?

    Something to the effect of,

    "Why has haiti never been called out on their racial massacres of the white inhabitants the same way the british,french and spanish have been called out on their racial massacres in the past?"

    I then went on to state that most of the people who where killed where not slave masters but where white peasants, a lot of them where Irish peasants too. (I did not say they where Irish in the original post but I will state that for you now since I am sure you understand the oppressive regime Irish people where under at the time, I just stated they where white peasants and left it at that)

    It's original though. rather than creating a thread claiming that the boards mods are part of the liberal elite who are silencing him, he's coming on boards to complain about a different set of mods.

    If/when this thread gets locked he'll probably go nuts.

    They're all out to get you OP. They can't handle the truth!

    Well....while there perhaps isn't anything overtly racist about what you write there from my limited understanding what you're referring to is an uprising of slaves. A bloody uprising by all accounts but certainly not an unjustified uprising.

    I can certainly see how it would be seen in a different light as for example the Spanish decimating the Incas.

    If you don't see the difference between the uprising of an oppressed group against their oppressors and the massacring of the oppressed by the oppressors (as would have been the case in most (if not all) cases by the French, Spanish and British) then I don't really know what to tell you.

    Not sure it would be considered racist but it's certainly indicative of a lacking of insight of some sort.

    But maybe I've got it all wrong, not particularly in the mood to be rereading the colonial history of the West Indies.

    Usually when people say 'PC gone mad' they're talking about public bodies or whatnot. Quora is a private site, it can do what it likes.

    I was hoping this would be a joke thread about someone's dodgy computer.

    Me too, disappointed to be honest.

    You need to say it in a Cork accent.


    Then it just means they have to tell the lads their new plan

    What, because if you’re not keen on Stewart Lee, it means you could only be into Michael McIntyre? Lazy thinking on your part. Lee is clever (boy, does he know it) but doesn’t quite land for me as a comedian. Some comedians do clever AND laugh-out-loud funny.

    With the current heat it might be due to your cooling not being up to scratch
