thinking the opposite of what mainstream media feeds you is buying in to the propaganda machine? dumb

Fox News and Jesus? Sure thing pal.

I'll take a difference of opinion when it is not drenched in white nationalism. We had plenty of that in Germany almost a century ago.

The Mexicans are not after yur gurns, yo.

About 3 years ago i created a character named Whitemare Grandwizard. At the time there were alot of racially charged issues. Being bored with EQ i thought it would be amusing to troll about it. I made comments like "if it aint white it aint right", "that is mighty white of you", "where the white women at" and "i always enjoy the holidays because i dream of a white christmas". Whitemare no longer exists.

Being bi-racial in RL i can honestly say that I am not racist nor do I support racism in any form. My actions were my own and i accept responsibility for them and have been paying the price ever since.

Please accept my sincere apology to anyone that i may have offended. It was my intent to inflame and I truly regret my actions.

I never had a problem with you on a personal level, but didn't you have a character named coons as well?

"Coons" as a character name seems pretty harmless.

As long as it wasn't an Erudite. ... It was an Erudite, wasn't it?

It's important to understand the terminology associated with various concepts, particularly if we are interested in the pursuit of truly equitable justice. In this vein, the actions of the OP--though immature and gross--were not racist. By definition, racism requires the perpetrator possess some power to affect the lives of the group against whom he is prejudiced. Everquest players, also by definition, obviously have no power. Thus, Everquest players cannot be racist, merely bigoted, stupid and juvenile. Hope this helps you guys in your individual journeys of growth. Namasté.

I don't care that you are racist but you sound low class and stupid.

What kind of price are you paying?

Erudite cleric... yep. Funny he didn't mention this.

Are we also going to see an open apology for power tripping, banning people from Taken's voice chat server over a disagreement when you weren't an officer, taking down their forums without even offering them an archive of the content to put on their new forums, etc etc?
