My Own Rant ( Not About Quest )

[Imagineer_Tech]

I was sitting in town square wearing my new sparrow suit and some comes up to me and says the following :

Him : Sparrow isn't black you id.i.it
Me : Excuse me
Him : You Heard Me id.i.it
Me : You have problem with this color?
Him : Yes change now.
Me : Maybe I am black, would there be a problem?( I'm not I thought my avatar looked tan )
Him : Yea I don't like them.
Me : Well you'll have to get over it because the world is filled with color!
Him : lose.her

I ignore report and stay. Someone told me what he was saying and I say tell him I reported and to have a truely Magical And Colorful Day!!

He was gone in a few moments.

Now I was taught that color doesn't matter and I still believe that but if this was a kid in a world that I grew up in too why is there so much hate if someones skin isn't that of yours. Humans are all human weather you think so or not and I believe they should all be treated with respect and everything will work out.

no worries ill. If there were no losers in the world, you wouldnt be able to notice the winners

 

[ihavewaycutecats]

Wow that kid has a problem.

I wish I was there with you. I would have changed color to match you and invited all my friends to do the same. There is no place in VMK or anywhere else for behavior like that.

No where at all!

Racist much? African Amercians have donated tons of things to our world, without them, some things just wouldn't be here.

Well Rolls and I found his opposite in Blue Bayou a little while ago.
We were talking about what had happened in the past few days, discretely airing our views and some girl sitting over on the side got upset with us and kept saying something about blacks! I asked her what black had to do with what we were talking about and she waived her arm, black, at us!
Still scratching my head over that one!
I think someone tried to play one too many pirate games.

This is just so sad.

The board is filled with all these positive and uplifting stories of friendship and comraderie, and then you have the sad wake-up call that there are still brainless bozos out there parroting this dark ages nonsense.

Ill, I'm so sorry you were the recipient of this garbage.

It's not just black people who are attacked in VMK, I once said I didn't believe in gad since someone was asking me about Christmas and so on.. I got attack by a group of people saying I'm a ###, and should get the ### off VMK..

This has to stop..

 

[mikeyandscoobyx2]

Jeez. people have no right to say anything about anybody else's beliefs, culture, and color.

 

[SharkMeal]

Wow ill you sorry that happened to you!

But I kinda feel bad for the kid too, I mean, it's probably not totally his fault,
I know a lot of kids around where I live that were raised into prejudice, but
he shouldn't have to express that to people..

 

[vmkfan13]

Jeez. people have no right to say anything about anybody else's beliefs, culture, and color.

Another time I was in Main street and people were making fun of some guy for wearing pink.. they thought he was 'gray'..

At the POTC lobby, someone was calling this blue girl ' ugly' and told her to stop wearing cowboy pants for whatever reason..

I am white but I am tan so I tanned my avatar but I know that rasism gets no where. But some ppl are still rasied that way so what can we do.

 

[masquerades]

Wow...

I thought the days of color discrimination were long past. People such as ( him ) should not be allowed in the vmk community.

- MAY HE BE BANNED FOR 10 YEARS! huzzah

 

[Macca1111]

People feel brave being faceless entities on the computer, and say incredibly rude things that they'd never say in real life. Still, I can't believe people even discuss color in VMK, where you can be purple for god's sake if you want to.

 

[Disney Dreams]

Ill, you handled it perfectly and even more so, be proud that you recognize the problem with what he said. Some people just don't get it.

 

[redshoe]

Dude. I have NO WORDS. None.

I cannot believe there is anyone who still thinks like that. Absolutely appalling.

I'll tell you this, though, there's no way he would have had the nerve to say anything like that to you in the real world. Bigots are generally also cowards. And I agree with those who have said that you handled it extremely gracefully!

 

[queenj]

I in real life (there is a real life right? ) am white but when I tan, and i tan dark i get lots of freckles, when my DD was young (3, now 12) she asked me why there were white and brown (black) people. I said we are all red on the inside and freckles are our brown coming out. To this day we laugh , noone is 100% anything we are all just human and I think all colors are beautiful! We don't make fun of the blue and green people on VMK...... why a darker color tan/brown /black....what is this world coming too.
i am impressed with how you handled things props to you!

 

[VMK_Mouse]

So sorry that happened to you.
