from his comment

no they haven't, they were discussing whether it might be ...

Quote:
organising a radio segment discussing whether the popular board game is racist.



you retards ought to calm the bugger down and take a chill pill.


The subject should not have even been bought up for discussion ........ it's ridiculous

and not worthy of any serious journalistic consideration.


You want to stop people discussing things that don't interest you?

You must be joking.  Surely.


So you think that a discussion on whether the rule of chess where the white piece goes first to start the game is racist is worthy debate subject matter?


No.

I just think that people should be able to discuss things I'm not interested in.

Unlike you, I don't want to silence people.



Nobody has been silenced



You want to silence them though.

These are your exact words:

"The subject should not have even been bought up for discussion".

I think discussions on AFL are ridiculous, but I would never say that the subject should never be brought up.

You need to live and let live, and not be so easily triggered.

 
Grin You telling me or anyone not to get triggered?

Now that's hypocritical isn't it?

Trump triggers you to obsession.

Looking for racism in the rules of a game of chess is nothing like the comparison of your dislike of AFL. Roll Eyes

That is unless you think you're being absurd?

You get the chance to be black or white and everyone plays by the same rules....Fully removed from reality which is why it is a game!!!

Chess probably started in India using brown pieces but was improved in Persia around Mohammed's time. It had a Christian population including a Persian king , queen, bishop and knights. It was opposed to Rome of the whites but probably knew about whitepower.

Emperor Valentinian of Rome moved against Egypt's Church, ending in stalemate. Seeing this , Mohammed struck deep into black Egypt. Persia then fell in a swift attack known as the Danish Gambit opening.

Chess game video channel gets taken down.


The idiots at Youtube took down a channel
that narrates chess games:




I believe it's back up now.

I'm glad it was put back up.  Algorithmic moderation is showing itself to be prone to errors, and that's dangerous.  Smaller channels that have no one to fight for them might not get anyone from YouTube to care enough to re-review their erroneously-removed content (or channel).

Someone should tell ABC that racism is attacking someone for the colour of their skin, not which colour pieces move first in chess.

Someone should also tell ABC that chess was invented in 7th Century India, not by a white person.

What a bunch of thick lefties.

No reason to censor the discussion.

You need to live and let live, and learn to not be so easily triggered.
