I honestly don't see what the problem is. B/c there's nothing in this story that's untrue. I even left several ligitimate news links for varification - b/c what do i know? But if simply using the word "Jew" even as a matter ov fact has suddenly become intolorable then fine, delete the whole thing. I didn't even know Madoff was Jewish until it was mentioned in an NPR report, so the problem's certainly not with me!The tone of this post is inappropriate for our site. Your post could have said "Lazy negroes get their come uppins" this kind of racial stereo typing is backward and shows great ignorance. I'll leave this up long enough for you to read my response before i delete it. If you write anything like this again on this site i'll delete your profile.

Dude, I know you like to be edgy and shocking and all, but this whole anti-semitism thing does more harm than good. You tend to lose folks and your point gets lost. Now, if you were confronting Zionism, I believe it's fair game.
To be fair and honest, there has been words said about Christianity and Islam(on the old board) and I don't recall a moderator making a peep about it. If your going to go after one guy for making anti-semetic remarks, you should go after folks who make anti-christian remarks. And anti-Republican remarks, and anti fat people remarks, and anti emo remarks...where will it end? Personally, I feel this board should be self moderated and the members should speak up when they feel they need to.This should be about the free exchange of ideas. I do appreciate it when a moderator speaks up when he/she feels the need to, but please be careful not to delete someones profile because you judge his views to be extreme.
That's all.

Agreed. and lets not forget the blatant homophobia and misogyny that ran rampant on the old board. There have been plenty of things throughtout my time here that's offended me, but I would never want anyone to be censored. I dunno, I'm just asking where does the censoring end? Where exactly is the line?
Well hell Matthew since you seen fit to show up and comment and since you're not going to do anything, what's your point? Maybe you should just chill. You obviously don't really read this board much. This stuff goes on all the time and we flame each other over it if someone doesn't like it and then we get over it. Your never intervened with any comments in the Christian Bashing threads and you definitley didn't intevene when some cat was trying shit on Muslims. Chill and stay silent or say your piece but not run up in the spot trying to legislate now just because Damos shit on the jewish community. Shittin on people and conventions goes on arounf here. That's Punk. What next you wanna ban somebody?Thanks for commenting Jef. Darkness I normally appreciate your post. I like that your here and have edgy views, I normally sit back and let you guys say whatever it is on your mind. Most of you don't even know i exist. The article is not the problem i've been following it myself all week. "Greedy Jews Get Their Come-Uppins!" reading this i would assume all jews were greedy and that they deserved what ever they got - what ever that may mean. Now you could replace one of two of those words and apply it to any ethnic group and if that was done i would have the same problem. "Stupid blacks get their come-uppins" - "Rag heads get their come uppins" - "All those ARABS are bad". I welcome controversy but this was brought to my attention by some one else on the board, they were offended by it and i thought it necessary to speak. If their has been some homophobia and misogynistic things on the board and I've missed them i apologize. I receive every post and sometimes I miss things, i normally leave it up to you all. I simply can not tolerate hate of any kind, I believe that's what separate's us from people that would cause another human beings harm based on their religion or color of their skin. I will now retreat back into my box. Matthew
Not sure what you mean when you say, not going to do anything? I made my point quite clear above. I was contacted by three members on the board that alerted me to Damos comments, all of whom were offended which is why i intervened. Had I of seen or been altered to any Christian or Muslim bashing headers to any threads i would have commented. If I'm altered by board members i'll comment. I normally email members directly as I did Damos so as to keep it off the board. Please send me links to any of the headers from the new or old board your referring to. And in reply to your question re banning somebody the answer is yes, I will ban some body if i deem the comment inappropriate as i would if the comment was a racial slur against black folk.

Afro-punk is a platform for the other Black experience, the one we don't see in our media. D.I.Y (Do It Yourself) is the foundation.
