Robtard made this point before, and linked it to Vonnegut, and it still holds true: if you are not what you pretend to be, then what else are you? If you 'pretend' to have a certain belief, even if you're 'trolling', then people will see you that way. Example: you saying that America has a black people problem. Even if it was a joke, you still said it, and it reflects your beliefs more than it doesn't.
The nazis were very different to whatever ideology you think I am.
In summary, you're stupid.
Originally posted by FoxsteakYou know I'm not stupid, calm down. I didn't call you a nazi, either. I'm just saying that if you want to pose your political beliefs as blunt /pol/ memes, then people will continue to see you that way.

Originally posted by SurturI love the Drow. Both of my characters have been Drow (well, the first one was half-Drow) rogues. Harrier Jet is a rogue too. Gonna look into this Gromph fella.

People need to stop picking apart everything someone posts.Anyways, Gromph is a badass drow Archmage.

Exactly. Especially online where what people see of you is only what you type

I don't think it's the race, there is no race that is better or worse than another. I believe in this country it is the culture in the black community, not something inherent in them.
Stats speak for themselves. 52% of the murders come from a group that is 13% of the population. And most of those murders are black males, who make up about 6%. So 6% of people doing all that That is not good. It's the culture and community, not the race. I have black friends, and I'm not saying that to try to be all "I'm not racist see my black friend here!". The point is I befriended a lot of them at a job I worked(I was the only white guy) and I did learn more about their culture.
They did give me some insight, they did talk about how there is almost this pressure in certain communities to be a "thug". Or to more or less be tough, and respond to any disrespect with violence, etc.
I know some will call me racist for saying all that, but it's the truth. People can say it is caused by poverty or by systemic racism or whatever, but there is definitely a big problem that is not getting the attention it warrants. And I can't talk about it. I mean obviously I can, but I'm white, if I say these things it is brushed off as racism. Luckily there are those in the black community speaking out.

Oh he is a rare Drow male who rose to Archmage. Also runs the school of Sorcery called Sorcere. He got lucky because he was born into a powerful family, otherwise he'd never have grown as powerful.

He appears in a bunch of books, he's my favorite Drow probably. You read any of the books for Forgotten Realms?
Originally posted by SurturSurt, I know your beliefs and I can trust you to expand on them in a sensible and refined manner (as seen above). Thus in my eyes, you don't hide behind edgy humour or anything that pigeonholes you too much when discussing stuff like that. Xyz, however, is often more than happy to make his political stance seem more extreme than it is, so as to piss off the person he's debating with. So it was more about that than anything else.
