I had the same opinion as you, but last summer I went on a vacation to egypt and a nigger literally stole my book.

It was Storia Vera by Lucian, not sure what the nigger did with it, maybe he used it as toilet paper, idk, he surely couldn't have read it, as he is probably illiterate

m8 I like racist jokes but I didn't find the predictable ones in this thread "super funny".

Let’s be honest. Black men, literally slaves, have always been a weapon in hands of those who wage war on white men. White men used them against other white men, women used them against their husbands/bfs, Muslims used them against Christians, Jews use them against Americans etc. Black men have been trying to gain their humanity against this instrumentality from the beginning of time. If you go through this thread there is racism, but even the black knighting here attempting to fight it all consider him, the black man, as an instrument of his blackness, which he has none. The black man is not even black, he’s a man, if he wants to be. But he doesn’t. Look at our culture and you see that in the wave that is the instrumentality of human beings it is the so called “black” man who is champion. And this sad situation is exactly what OP buys into by addressing us on this board as, not a person reading a book or interested in a certain book, but as NIGGER with a book. OP I am not calling you a nigger, I am addressing you as you wish to be seen. You are your own derogation. This thread is OP’s fault. That’s all I’d like to address. Thank you

No, baiting is annoying. You are annoying. Stop it. This is a literature board. You could go to any other board and do those kinds of things. Please just keep this literature related. Not one comment about the book, and I don’t see OP caring about that at all. In fact he seems to have gotten the response he was looking for. That’s incredibly annoying. I’m not gonna run away from it as it’s in my face so I’ll let you know exactly what I think about it

>>13795054
As a pacifist I try my best not to partake in hurtful behavior. I don’t think anything in my response came off as hostile or aggressive. It it did I apologize. And the swastika in this direction is actually a sign for the sun, the opposite way is for the moon, that is why the it was chosen by the ns. Aside from that Germany is very open about the the influence of the Vedic text had on its philosophical culture (e.g. Schopenhauer said he would read from the Vedas every morning, for more reading you should read this, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika, and https://www.jstor.org/stable/41692089?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents).).

I do find Adolf Hitler to be a very interesting person. That’s I’ll say about that.

4chan has always used words like “nigger” and “faggot”, though, in the past, they were used primarily because they were shocking. You were a ____fag or a nigger for doing whatever. However, some ancient boomers who started browsing didn’t understand this usage as shock value and understood it as genuine racism.

Now retards who never ‘got it’ associate 4chan as being a place that always harbored vehement racists (untrue) rather than a place that always harbored vehement edgelords (true).

>>13796020
I've been here pretty much since the site started and I've been racist for most of that time. There's nothing wrong with being racist.

I'm so convinced that Pynchon saw the film Charade and then used it as a loose bases for The Crying of Lot 49 that I'm going to kill myself.

>>13796030
but that's because you're a zoomer homosexual

my god! the delusion
there's 0 chance people here use nigger ironically
racism is allowed on 4chan it's who we are
deal with it trannyboy

>>13796030
I’m sure you have been, though the usage of the word didn’t derive from people spouting racism—it came from, as I said, edgelords trying to be shocking. Racism wasn’t so socially normalized then, so you really only had true racist conversations on /news/ or /b/. To say that racism is has ALWAYS been 4chan culture is simply wrong. Boomers/newfags just didn’t understand how the words were beings used.

>>13796045
How does that follow from what I posted? If it doesn't, just don't reply.

>>13796057
t. niggerfaggot

>>13796048
Try reading the entire conversation again. I’ll even help:
A: racism has always been 4chan culture
B: untrue, in the past, words were used for x purpose rather than out of racism
You: BUT TODAY!!!!!

Basically, you’re retarded.

>>13796066
or what? you gonna cry to mommy?

>>13796057
I don't think that's true. There were always pretty frank discussions of blacks being horribly behaved and things like that. The website wasn't one big /b/ caricature of people taking the piss nonstop. Ordinary people are not infrequently racist and this was true even ten years ago. Hell, it was true on SA back in the day too. That's why they banned all discussion like that, because it was fairly common if left unrestrained. That was in like 2005.

>>13796080
There are always going to be frank discussions about anything on any online site. However, to say that 4chan’s culture was racist is untrue. It CONTAINED racism, though the site itself wasn’t defined by it. You could easily make the argument now, though then a counter argument was much, much more common, even on /b/

>>13796105
I guess that's true. I still think it was common enough that no one would really bat an eye at someone saying "of course he's a fucking nigger" in response to a news article about a criminal for example.

Except on certain boards, anyway. Even today I'm surprised at how insulated /tg/ is for example, they're almost reddity sometimes in how offended they can get by simple racism. But that's also different from in the past, because these days, a lot of it is a reaction not so much against racism per se but reddity /pol/ newfags trying to offend their mom and be cool on the internet.

/lit/ feels more like how 4chan has always felt to me. A few outspoken anti-racists who overreact and seem out of place, but generally speaking, no one cares if you're casually racist, and most people are at least willing to read a post about an anti-semitic book or author for instance.

This is more true. I think a lot of visceral reaction to racism on 4chan, now, stems from the multitude of shootings from self-proclaimed nazis converted online. 4chan, in the past, was all about shock value and memes, though now I think people take what they say here a bit more seriously. I guess we can thank retarded zoomers for that

This is my view of on the use of words like "nigger" and "faggot" on this site and how they have evolved as well. I say this as someone who's been browsing a variety of boards for about 14 years. There's been a shift from the predominant mode of ironic racism or "hipster racism" with, of course, some genuine racism which is basically tolerated. Now, every single thread devolves into political shit-slinging, with one side consisting mainly of alt-right/pol crowd that genuinely harbor the typical clutch of ultra-conservative attitudes (racism, sexism, nationalism, homophobia, etc.). I've noticed a *significant* increase in this sort of thing ever since Donald Trump entered the political sphere. It's frustrating at times because I'd rather not deal with it. They have their containment board and they should just stay there, or at least confine that type of discussion to /pol/. What's even more frustrating is that it's impossible to engage with the /pol/ crowd, because they are incapable of any nuance. If you aren't an anti-semite, you're immediately reduced to some crude stereotype e.g. bourgeois basedboy midwit who only cares about political correctness and being polite. As if people calling you out for saying "nigger" are simply responding to the word itself and not the underlying racism. After countless attempts to engage with /pol/tards, I've come to the conclusion that they are incapable of thinking in any terms other than stereotypes and generalizations, which, of course, explains the racism and that they've fundamentally misinterpreted the specific brand of black humor on 4chan as unironic conservatism.

>>13797126
This is a mostly true post, but you’ve more energy than me. I just ignore any polarized, braindead “I’m this and you’re that” bullshit. It’s not worth replying to or even acknowledging. Sure, it’s sometimes fun to try and talk to a rabid extremist (right or left), but eventually it gets tiresome, as the ‘argument’ inevitably devolves into shitflinging, name calling, and assumptions of one’s other beliefs/practices.
