Lubbocks Black List.

[November]

Go Mariyn! :worthy:
Go Random!
Go other Middies I dont know.

 

[Krait]

The name 'Lubbock' itself is of an infamous region of America where Native Americans were quite violently ousted, even more so than the usual sad stories one hears about natives being turfed out. The confederate officer 'Lubbock' is much celebrated but, as with a few American icons, it seems that his misdeeds are brushed under the carpet; using ethnic soldiers as cannonfodder ala the movie 'Glory' to achieve his victories.

Lubbock is also a town/city in America.Talmont is a place in France and He's also got a scout called Darlington which is a town in England...or is that racist too.
It's not Lubb's fault that he's crap at thinking of names and needs to use an atlas to get inspiration.

All this omg its got black in it = racist stuff is nonsense, like when they changed the names of school blackboards to chalk boards its a board and its black face it, it has nothing to do with racism! whats the world coming to

 

[Wai]

political correctness gone mad tbh

can't even use the word black now without being called racist... madness

 

[svartalf]

OMG, Jovial Post Alert! Bring out the Microscopes of Dourness!

Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me??

 

[atos]

I believe it should be Quid quid, with a little white space (or green on this forum) between it
and yeah... indeed, it sounds profound

ohw.. I think you'll also like this one:
Vah! Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur!

Oh I just read some latin recently. Gona get serious next term in school. Thansk for correcting me. Should be fixed. And um btw.. send translation to that other line in pm.


None found me yet! HAH!

Some find the term 'blacklist' rather offensive due to its perceived racial undertones. Some may argue that very few of those on your blacklist have a significant amount of melanin to cancel such a point. However, a classic retort is that you may be applying a derogatory racial slur to those not 'black' in order to increase the strength of the insult.

omg! get a grip !

its ppl like you...who thought up the silly idea of "political correctness" in the 1 st place...personally i think this causes more tension due to the stupid lengths it goes too !

example

blackboards....not longer alonger allowed...as its considered "racist" against black ppl...but are now called chalkboards...but if we are to follow the rules of poticial correctness...wouldnt this be considered "racist" against white ppl as the chalk u use on them is "white"

no....because these stupid ppl...only seem to think racism works 1 way....

well wakey wakey !!! it works BOTH ways !

anyways as for Lubbocks blacklist...its nothing more than its meant to be...as Oro described an old term coming from a list held in a book with a black covering

so please dont bring the political correctness bollocks here !

 

[Edgar Frog]

its ppl like you

Some find the term 'blacklist' rather offensive

Read more carefully next time.

I think you'll find the infamous Lubbock family actually hail from the region around Ludlow where for many generations they were notorious sheep worriers.

If I remember correctly it was one "Meat" Lubbock who was infamous for shouting "Look Mum! No hands!" when he hoisted sheep onto the cart when they were rustling.

 

[Lubbock]

ROFL seems i better explain myself here since it seems.

Lubbock is also the author of a book about victorian sailing ships, thats where i got it from.
Lubbock is also the city in America where the Dixie Chicks started their career.
Lubbock sounds like a good name for Pally, a nice and pantsy name after all.

The Black List is what you call a book where you note down names of peoplee you need to get payback on often demonstrated by saying "You just made the list, buddy", and its often kept in a little black book for drama reason this is also the place you note down girls phonenumbers, if you see the classic show "Cheers" Sam malone has all his phonenumbers in his little black book, and dont know why but that has never seem racists to me.

So one thing i can say Edgar Frog is that if you try you can find all recists and since this was a thread where everyone was joking about and noone even thought about any racist material it must be you thats wrong and i think the lastname Frog is offensive towards the french, see it works on everything

So now leave us all to joke about and not having to spend lots of type typing this to prove im not a big racist that wants to cause trouble on this forum.

 

[Edgar Frog]

I did not realise this potential connection, so perhaps Lubbock named himself after such an aspect of the Lubbock clan, in which case some may ask that Lubbock be banned from Freddyshouse on the grounds of his name being based sexually offensive to any sheep that may be reading. And the amount of 'zerg' accusations I've seen floating about on this forum there are bound to be quite a few sheep in the audience.

edit: this was in response to Roo/Oro's post.

 

[Edgar Frog]

And in response to Lubbock, some may suppose that you thought that 'Disciples of Aldur' would be a counterargument against any accusations of being racist (seeing as Aldur Vunk is manager of a museum dealing with items used to fight against the inherently racist German forces in World War II), but I see that as a very flimsy connection that probably wasn't supposed when you or the founders of your guild thought of the name.

 

[Aremeriel]

*Sigh* Don't think I'll ever make that list...

but if we are to follow the rules of poticial correctness...wouldnt this be considered "racist" against white ppl as the chalk u use on them is "white"

My first thought when starting to read that sentence was WHITEBOARDS...

It's kinda like it's rude to tell big people that they are fat, but not rude to tell thin people they're thin... I've never understood that...

lmao

Read more carefully next time.

i read it right the 1st time...thxs...and my post still applies...as its obvious ur out to make trouble...considering the rest of the silly posts uve made !

 

[Oro]

Its been bugging me where I first heard the name Edgar Frog.

The wannabe vampire hunter in The Lost Boys.

Expect a petition from lots of homeless vampires complaining about that name. I mean, come on. You go to the seaside to party and some sadistic stake wielding maniacs start cutting you up when you're asleep.

<ponders>

Sounds like an average holiday on the Costa Del Fife. Fear the inhabitants of Lino City!

i did put whiteboards at 1st...but if i remember correctly they had to change it to chalkboards...because like i said regarding the chalk...it could be considered racist towards "whites"....but they felt chalkboards was a "neutral" term

though i agree with what u said...some things are considered rude and others not...its just silly!

Whiteboards also renamed to chalkboards? Even the ones using ink? Dunno really about English, but they're still called whiteboards (aye, the English word) in Norwegian, whereas "blackboards" always have been called "tavle" (a Norwegian word)...

Aye, it's silly...

i long ago...stopped trying to understand the silly "political correctness" system.

i just remember things like the "chalkboards" and the silly sayings "vertically & finically challenged"

so am not 100% sure on the "whiteboard/chalkboard" story

Dunno what they are called nowdays, but when i went to school it was svarta tavlan. And then the whiteboard came for the pencils.

Most of the "blackboards" when I went to school was green, so we didn't have a colour definition on them..

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

damn.. I hate that political correctness...... u can't even say what u want anymore.. I mean... why change names... A black man is black, a white man is white, a fat man is fat, all that don't change if you give it another name... they are just facts. if you wanna call a black man a colored man.... well.... in 2 years they are gonna whine about everybody calling them colored, or big boned, or whatever, and then you'll gotta find another word....
I'm going bald myself, don't like it, infact I hate it, but it's a fact, can't help it, and it won't change if someone called it a reclining hairline! FUCK THAT, I'm just going bald, same thing, doesn't look any different when I look in the mirror. so everyone that wants another term for their situation, GET A FUCKING GRIP!! your life ain't gonna get better if you change words... a word is just a word. nothing more, nothing less. if you feel a word hurts, that's not the fault of the word, it's YOUR interpretation of the word. Deal with that, and not trying to add another page to the dictionary

 

[Edgar Frog]

That's a very good point but some may argue that what's good for you may not be good for the next man. Some people may have a complex about going bald and thus buy a wig, or try to hide their shame by the comb-over strands technique. Perhaps words such as 'bald', although acceptable to yourself, send shivers down such people's spines and makes them metaphorically convulse in their neurosis/neuroses. Should we not provide measures for helping the majority of people to NOT be hurt, if, indeed, the majority of bald people (for example) feel this way about a word?

Some may say, "What is in a name? A 'Heheyougotboned' by any other name would still act the fool".

 

[Lubbock]

And in response to Lubbock, some may suppose that you thought that 'Disciples of Aldur' would be a counterargument against any accusations of being racist (seeing as Aldur Vunk is manager of a museum dealing with items used to fight against the inherently racist German forces in World War II), but I see that as a very flimsy connection that probably wasn't supposed when you or the founders of your guild thought of the name.

Or maybe Disciples of Aldur is from David Eddings books and also i didnt make the guild i just took over 2 months ago, so why dont you stop typing and let everyone else enjoy this thread.

And if you think its Racist contacta mod and they can decide if its a racist thread and delete it, that the way to decide if a Mod decide its a racist thread your right im a big smelly racist, if they dont remove then your wrong and you just typing on my thread, lets make that the deal

 

[Edgar Frog]

...as its obvious ur out to make trouble...

If my 'meaningful debate' is your 'trouble' I suggest that you stick to reality TV and DAoC.

 

[Edgar Frog]

a big smelly racist

You seem to be applying that term 'smelly' in a macro context towards all racists. Some may say that a racist would find that offensive.

 

[Aremeriel]

Hoi Mr. Frog... Just leave it now... I suggest if you wanna talk about what can or can't be taken as racism, start a thread for it...

 

[NeonBlue]

If my 'meaningful debate' is your 'trouble' I suggest that you stick to reality TV and DAoC.

meaningful debate?....ur not having a debate...ur picking up on every word other ppl say....and turning them into "racist" overtones...hence causing trouble


so come back to me when u actually know what a debate is and when u can have a discussion without looking deeper into things what arent actually there !


again i say...its ppl like u...that cause more racism than there actually is ..because ur petty "meaningful debates" as u call them...turn simple words like blacklist into something else

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

Should we not provide measures for helping the majority of people to NOT be hurt, if, indeed, the majority of bald people (for example) feel this way about a word?

no, I don't feel we should, because if it's happening with the word bald, it'll indefenately happen to "reclining hairline". It's the job of the balding person itself to accept their fate, and making the negative load on the word a neutral one. HOWEVER I can imagin that a word that's been used so horrific bad like <scuse me in advance> ****** is being replaced, cos there's been such a negative load given to it by the whole society. but there are only a handfull of those words around.

EDIT: hmmm... that words being sencured, well.. it's the word that early americans gave to black slaves.
