Sly is being attacked on many fronts.
I believe he thinks the world is like a Dirty Harry movie. Unfortunately, a few folks here have reinforced this impression in him.
I don’t believe he is a racist. I believe he needs to meet, in person, more diversified types of people. I was a racist until I actually started hanging out with “minorities.”
I believe he made some bad analogies because he felt boxed into a corner. I’ve done the same thing in the past. I said misguided things which did not reflect what I truly felt about things.
I feel like all this is biting him in the butt, like it bit me in the butt when I said and did stupid things out of anger, confusion, and feeling boxed in.
Please folks, get to know the real Sly. I called someone the N-word at age 10, and got punched in the face. That, and a little thought, made me realize that I made a grievous mistake in calling that guy the N-word.
This is an autism site. People with autism make this mistake all the time. They do and say misguided things. Whoever hasn’t, cast the first stone.
Please allow Sly to say his piece.
He didn't call anyone the N word. This is entirely different. Sly used the word in an analogy, showing that it was a hurtful and racist term. He did not apply it to any person. It has nothing to do with him thinking the world is a movie, because he doesn't use that word in his regular speech. EVER. I dare anyone to find an incident where he used that word against a person on this site. He used an analogy. People used hateful metaphors toward him, and they were allowed to be posted for 11 weeks in full view. That same person was banned from AF for using the N word themselves, within a week of joining.
Sly does not deserve this. If he was such a racist White Supremacist, I'd like to see the reports that were filed on his BLM posts and the bans that were issued for his "racism" or "white supremacy". There are none.
I got banned from AF for posting 'n-word music'. That's not the same as using the word.
I don't report anyone for anything, so saying a post wasn't reported doesn't mean much. I don't think every post with a racist opinion warrants a warning or any action, that doesn't mean it isn't showing sympathy for actual white supremacists.
If you're angry you can't bully me for saying the truth, get over it. The fact that you're very angry doesn't make you right. You attacked me needlessly (in defence of Sly) for speaking the truth. You guys have tried to get the mods involved and it failed because I wasn't in the wrong. Get over it and move on with your lives. No one wants you to leave but I'd appreciate if you'd stop bullying me.
