Yes I am NOT black but I can tell you one thing im not 100% white either...it doesnt really matter though...

It hasnt got anything to do with him being black or anything like that...just tired of the BAITING..  im not going to expose others to being suspended over someone who feels sorry for his "race"..  

Every thread he makes "well 99%"  turns into a race bait IMO...yes Im not a jury or anything else you say SCAL but I do control if you can post here or not...its that simple..

Lets put this behind us and move forward..  all I ask is for you to stop... I dont care what anyone else has to say..its not my job to worry about others opinions on you...let them hate me if I DECIDE to release you..  my job is to make the site run smooth...it can be with you or without you...its that simple.. I would rather it be w/ u because u could help someone out with info ..after all we are a gambling forum but I will not allow u to bait people into race wars anymore..its gone on long enough..if u want to change the world then start your own forum up or join the NAACP or go marching with AL SHARPTON or something.. I could care less..  I only care what happens in the forums..we do NOT need to hear how the black man is being held down...its bullshit..  if u are that weak to let someone hold u down then thats another story..  no one cares about the black mans rights.. u do NOT have any special rights..everyone is held to the same standard here.. well for the most part...  Im sure there are some vets who can get away with a little more but that just comes with the territory.. they have earned it...our manifesto is made for all RACES..there are not exceptions for the "black man"...

IMO you do more harm for your race (if u really are black) than you do good.. there are so many good people out there who get up and work hard everyday..  I respect that... but do NOT respect a person who cries about how they are being held down...  NOTICE how I said " person" in the above sentence...  try that for a change.. quit using black, white or green in every thread..

when and if you stop then your posting rights will be back... that can be tomorrow or a year from now...  SUPERBEETS holds the key to that.......  I have no prob letting u out soon if u will agree to quit using race in every thread u make

Who the hell is being held down? Can we stop the "if you really are black."

I am going to say this one final time. I am not black. I am 100% white. I would be the biggest fraud on covers if I masqueraded as a white man, and was actually black, because I felt it gave more legitimacy to my message given that I was preaching to a larger white gambling community.

Feel free to believe whatever you want about my race. White is white. Period.

Ok, now onto the main point. 

Your post is a PERFECT example of dominant group thinking. If you were Black or Hispanic or Middle Eastern or Asian or Indian or Native American etc. in America, your stance would be completely different. That would be because race would be an everyday issue instead of one that is shirked and largely ignored.

Do all the ethnicities named suffer from even mild forms of racism every day? No. But the majority do if they live, work and interact with a white community. And once you deal with a majority, you are dealing with a pertinent issue that must be addressed. 

I am Covers resident anti-racist (regardless of how many times I am called 'racist' which is too be expected from angry, petulant, childish posters). 

Why did this all start? Why do many of my posts deal with race in the GD forum?

It all happened around 2008. I ONLY posted in the NBA and NFL mains. I got bored one day and came to GD. There were various topics of interest. Unfortunately, scattered amongst were threads that I considered racist. They didn't contain the word 'n*****' nor did they directly call out any minorities. The threads took on a larger more insidious type of racism that subtly implied blacks were inferior to whites; that is, there was a cultural deficiency within their communities of which they were to blame. This has been a long-held stance within the white community and was the basis for everything from segregation to slavery.

Here is an example. A thread will be posted in the GD forums about looting. If blacks participated in the looting, it will be a thread about ONLY black looting. Any whites who participated in the looting will be disregarded. The posters will then make subtle codified comments degrading not only the black looters, but the entire black race. 

Now when a white crime is committed (and there are threads about this), the criminals are ALWAYS individuals. Take the terrorism in Norway by Andres Breivik. No one in the media, the white community, right down to the GD forum considered these shootings a 'white crime.' 

But Black crime is viewed as a group defect and is placed at the feet of a larger black community 'to clean up their act.' 

White crime on the other hand, from the Norway shooting to this hate crime which resulted in a senseless murder:

LINK

...is always viewed with 'personal responsibility' that needs to be taken on by the actual perpetrators of the deed but NEVER the white community as a whole! Why? Because they are the dominant group in America and will of course, spin a situation to however it best suits them. Even the global financial crises is considered a 'white collar' crime but the word 'collar' would NEVER be dropped by the main stream media or Marty White on Maple Street.

That is where I come in. And I simply will not allow threads (particularly straightshitters and NJDevils) that hold the entire black community responsible for any and all crimes to remain in the GD forum without a balanced alternative viewpoint. 

Now I am not trying to beg to get out of here, or try to coax you into doing so with a explanatory post. I am way above that. I'm telling you that if you want your 'dominant white male group think' to proliferate without a balanced opinion, then feel free to keep me here for eternity.

But know that this is censorship of the worst kind and is cowardice of the highest order. You are white, you are offended by what I say, and therefore you just remove the problem because you can.

I would say it was pathetic if it wasn't so remarkable coming from a so-called 'moderator' of a site that should be little concerned with anything other than making sure touts don't breach mains borders.

Guys didn't like their wives coffee. Big deal. The acting in the commercial is just that. I did not sexism in that at all. Usual Scal tactics. Nothing really to see here. 

That being said the guy posted his opinion nothing more. I don't get the sentence nor do I think it warranted. This is a public forum and the forum in which it is posted was the proper place. Almost rings of censorship, at the very least a real stretch at applying the site manifesto. 

Scal and eye rarely see eye to eye, although we are usually on the same side of these issues. To be fair I have to agree with him here on the sentence. Probably not a popular stance on the issue but it is my opinion.

For what it is worth. 




Just coffee? 

Nothing to see here?

A stretch?

Show that commercial to any female from a wife, girlfriend, sister, friend or stranger in 2011 and you will will get a much more visceral reaction of outrage beyond the shoulder-shrug that you just gave it.

But again, you are a male promoting the dominant male interest

The commercial reflected the zeitgeist of the time concerning housewives. It embodied sexism of the highest order, a patriarch based household, and marginalized women's worth concerning earning power and employment opportunity. All these benefited a "man of the house." 

Furthermore, modern-day psychologists would say this is a perfect example of emotional abuse (from the comments laden with failure that a wife can't make a good cup of joe, to a finger in the face, to throwing hot coffee on a women's garden; one of the primary things she probably took joy in) with a purpose that is obvious; to keep a woman/wife subjugated at the hands of a man.

During WWII, women infiltrated the workforce as there simply weren't enough men to take on the responsibilities of a nation at war. Their pay and responsibility lead to liberation from the the male in the marriage bond. These commercials in the 50's, not surprisingly, attempted to sell coffee to a male buyer who yearned for the way they saw their mothers treated and would see the brand connected to "putting women in their proper place/getting things back in order." 

Surprise! Folgers and Maxwell House still are household names today because of the sexist advertising campaigns that buffered their revenue streams in previous eras.

Imagine if they attempted to sell coffee while promoting women's rights!

Let's just say "The best part of wakin' up" wouldn't be Folders in your cup...

I see your rehab is not going well......I say this fuck stays in here forever....

you are a complete idiot....you seek out shit to turn it to a race thing...question is why? What is your interest to gain on trying to point out how color is of any relavance in any of your threads or posts...you spin shit more than anyone on this site and the fact that you are white is disturbing how you try and rile shit up on here to be a race issue when it is not....would make more sense if you were balack at least, but the points made would still be irrelavant....people are people and trying to break it down to color is only making excuses of the issues....

Sure there are racists still out there....but there are alos liars, murders, rapists, cheaters and many other god awful shit....so why the focus on racism? The more people focus on it the more it persist...you aren't changing anything and look like a fool brining up the same shit....you are fully to blame here yourself you fucking prick....what about those threads you started where you indicated that had the person been white the punishment would have been more severe...I believe it was an NBA issue or something....either way you fucking instigate the shit....WHAT ARE YOU GAINING?

To me, ridding people of this world like yourself is what is needed....keep holding on to shit that is not there and even if it is what good is there to only point that shit out....you know how many good things have happened to people of color all arounbd the world? Do you? Really, do you? cause the only ignorant person posting on this site with so much krout is YOU scalapini...

Give it a rest dude....worry about your own problems....and if that doesn't work how bout worrying about poverty of people of all color or how about young children that are suffering for no reason....you focus your efforts on an issue that only thrives because fucks like you keep it at the surface...just stop it already....focus your energy on things that can actually make a difference in the world...this is an old and battered issue and is isolated just like other issues in this world....

You are something else maynard and a fucking disgrace....and who gives a fuck about you being a top member blog....that's all you got...PATHETIC!!!!!!!

question is why? What is your interest to gain on trying to point out how color is of any relavance in any of your threads or posts

Maybe you and the people you make company with live your lives on a self-interest basis only. If you actually took the time to read about how this country came about, from the "Indian Removal" to forced labor of its citizenry, to slavery, to the subordination and domination of women, to child labor, to forced immigrant labor, to segregation by race and class, to the continued marginalization of those of the Islamic faith in America after 9/11 etc. etc. etc., you'd realize that this country's legacy and history is essential to understanding the structure of society today and how race, creed, gender, and class are dependent on that legacy and history.

Women STILL in 2011, earn 78 cents on the dollar when compared to a man. Imagine that. 

Why point that out? Why fight for the rights of others if you have nothing to gain? It's called having a conscience, having empathy, and realizing that you are a part of a larger human community beyond your skin color, class, creed or gender. But to accomplish anything, you must not MUTE yourself with regard to these issues, but make them distinct and relevant by pointing them out. 

so why the focus on racism?

Virtually everyone is anti-murder, anti-rape and in theory, anti-liar (your example, not mine). Those are basic vices in any community. Not everyone is anti-racist because and as you've just proven, many don't believe it exists to any real degree. I'm here to tell you otherwise. 

The more people focus on it the more it persist

Well that is patently false because it exists whether people focus on it or not. Statistics dictate that even outside of my alleged generalizations.

you aren't changing anything and look like a fool brining up the same shit

Of course I am changing things. I gain the respect of those who are afflicted by racists day in day out and are denied equal access to employment, housing, social status, equal wages, justice, and social status etc. All in all, I don't think many, or even one will change here. But here's the thing. You'll leave this earth aware of an opinion that is alternative to the one you've been blindly inculcated with.


you know how many good things have happened to people of color all arounbd the world?

Good things? You do know 3/4's of a million people are going to die in Mogadishu, Somalia if international aid in the form of a couple of billion dollars (an amount that is laughable given the US spent $800 billion - unfunded - in the Iraq war... add in Afghanistan and we're still counting) is not provided for the purchase of basic food staples. That is primarily a nation of blacks. Doesn't sound like such a good thing does it. Why do you think this mass starvation isn't making daily national headlines? 

you focus your efforts on an issue that only thrives because fucks like you keep it at the surface.

No other social issue, from poverty, to sexism, to unemployment, to crime, to infant mortality, to drug use is asked to be IGNORED by white males like racism is.

Ask yourself why that is...

And your statement is chauvinistic beyond imagination. What you are saying is, "Because you keep the white male agitated by bringing this up, you make racism persist." How so? Because you then go out and become angry at Blacks because someone else said racism existed on Covers.com? Tell me. How does racism persist if I bring it up? If it doesn't exist, I can't MAKE it exist in society, that is, make its effects injurious to minorities because I simply TALK about it.

.and who gives a fuck about you being a top member blog.

I brought it up because it SHOULDN'T be a top member blog. I assumed you would understand the satire when you read my original post. I assumed wrong.

please get the fuck out of here with the cop-out of "I was only showing how women are mistreated" that was a piss-poor excuse for being boxed, and all of you other guys defending this fucking piece of shit need to have your heads examined. guy is worthless and doesn't know dick about sports. I will gladly go head to head with this fuck in nfl this season, loser gets a permanent ban.

That's right. That was the title. And a perfect one at that. Because of the undeniable fact that white males were the dominant intellectual group of that time. They controlled the media, corporations, and the zeitgeist of the American community. And this dictated female subjugation to the hands of white males.

And the other threads with the same title were anti-white when they showed videos of:

1) Men slapping each other's asses
2) The seize testicles
3) Teenagers changing in a chemistry class???

This is "anti-white" propaganda? A little ribbing maybe. But please, simmer down...

There are two common types of people that get boxed.

The first is a person that knows they made a mistake and wants to make an honest effort to not make the same mistake again.

The second is a person that believes that they did absolutely nothing wrong and has no intention of ever changing.

It’s not difficult to ascertain which one scalabrine is.

When Scal talks about the NY teams, the Giants, Jets, Knicks and Nets I listen.  He's more than a solid capper.

Scal is obviously black but that's OK.  I think Covers is a better place with him here.  I don't agree with him on most topics but at least he makes me think for a split second.  It's always good to hear from someone that disagrees w/you.  Life gets pretty boring when everyone is saying yeah your're right. 

My biggest problem w/Scal is he never does anything positive for his race.  Even if he helped one black family or child or anything it would be a nice step in the right direction.  Scal get involved in some capacity helping your race, by talking about it here is not the answer.

How on earth could the mods lose any credibility?

You have to hold some in the first place to be able to lose it

And this joker of a mod is boxing people because hes tired of the baiting. Bullshit, go ask allbees why he boxed me, then read the thread, and come back here with a strfaight face and tell me that the mod in question wasnt baiting me and got his desired response

Almost censorship? Define almost

Scal and i dont get along much anymore, ever since i posted a thread discussing economic conditions prior to xmas, and mentioned two slow crawling gansters (who were actually white) and sent him on some racial tirade, missing the point that the wiggers were walking so slow because their pants were hanging from their knees

I think scal could use some perspective, as he is obviously white and comes from an affluent upbringing. He confuses social strata/class warfare for racism. I grew up below the poverty line, because we had six people living from one meager income and didnt use government handouts. Now if you dont think that wealthy black folk looked down att us dirt poor white people like we were their "people", you are lost

Holdem and other dimwits should get boxed for their continued butchering of the English language and their pathetic grammar

You mods suck. You act as one when youd make for a better site if you acted as individuals. Just the same as the brotherhood of fraternal order of injustice, you see one of youre own step out of line and assualt an innocent citizen, the ones you are supposed to protect and serve, and do you do what you know is right? No, you follow suit for your fellow clansmen and stretch to rationalize that what is wrong is now right

Get a clue
