You are just proving my point here. You do not even want to entertain or engage on that alternate view. In your own view point, you are never wrong.

Ok, you have made the claim, then substantiate it...

I will personally apologise if you can show that the majority of this forum are hostile to anything that is not the white view of the world. Notice I use the word "Majority" so a single instance is unfortunately not going to cut it, you need to show many instances from many different forum members.

Then you have protanopia and can claim your official certification of being colourblind! :whistling:

Yup, you can say, oh wow you may be colour blind.

What is colour blindness?

Well, some peoples eyes are different; but through evolution, most people see the light spectrum this way.

Then he can say, "Oh wow, no wonder I keep getting traffic fines for going when the robot is green! I think I may be able to get my license back!"

Can I claim a disability grant as well then?

Definitely. It's a win-win!

I just got an infraction from MickeyD for "Trolling and Disturbing the forum". I will, thus, not be posting on this matter any more because my honest views are deemed troll worth and a disturbance.

About time too.

What if his purple is your blue, then what? :p

But the issues we discuss are never black and white(please do not make a joke about this ;) I believe that all views, however diverged from yours, should be accorded the same attention. That is how grow ups do it.

Sweet, I can now think about resigning as well since clearly I can't work if I'm colourblind....

They are more than willing to engage and entertain; but you aren't substantiating anything.

It reminds me of the movie anchorman, when he is shouting "LOUD NOISES".

Details are our friends. You may be surprised at how open minded people are.

Are you going to substantiate your claim that this forum is hostile to anything that is a non-white view of the world?

All views are accorded the same attention, if they can be substantiated. You have yet to do that, so unfortunately your views don't get accorded that attention. When you can substantiate them then they will.

What are you on about. Did you not read the part where I said I accept the infraction?

I would say your views are accorded more attention than most. This entire thread is virtually your views being addressed. The problem with your views is that they are often unsubstantiated and inconsistent. But, let's not forget that the topic at hand is your infraction was for an unsubstantiated accusation against a member. If you'd care to substantiate it at some point you could try appeal the infraction.

You have made a subsequent claim, you are now being asked to substantiate that claim.

I don't need to. Just go to any tread where whites people are the victims and where blacks are the victims. The difference in tone between the two is vast.

Dear ngwe23 maybe as immigrant to this beautiful country of yours my opinion does not count much but as a "victim" of persecution on religious base over the the last 100 years maybe I can try to add to this discussion.
I'm firm believer of Historia is magistra vitae and when bunch of people starts insulting other side and other side starts waving flags pretty quickly things can get out of hand and history shows that all this ends up with dire consequences.
As my friend would say regardless of conflict mothers cry on both sides.
Maturity is shown when you realize that you made mistake and you are willing to learn from it.
Holding blindly to one side is not going to help.
Simply ask you self how would you feel if all those slogans and graffiti were the other way around? Would it bother you that monument that represents sacrifices in two world wars was painted as it was but with different race conotation?
It would and there is no shame admitting it.
Afrikaans people suffered greatly under British but they did not remove any monuments, they built their own.
Regarding protest, yes some requests are valid but in context of last year they are guilty as UCT. Additionally ANC government starved universities of funding and it made it worse.
For days it was said how protesting students are poor and how they are suffering, guess what one of them is richer and more privileged than 99% of all white students.
So if you are real patriot and love this country step back and look at others opinion not based on their color (this goes for all SA citizens).
Study medicine, engineering, skills that can help this country, volunteer at school or hospital, help those in need.
Be a person that unites rather then one that divides, result of divisions we can easily see in rest of Africa and world, they are not good.
Just my 2c

No, you made the claim.. substantiate it. This is the way a debate works.

If you can't substantiate it, then I expect you to apologise to the forum. Something you still need to do for your previous claim.
