I was not sure if I wanted to write this post, but I feel I have a responsibily to my brothers and sisters to say this. I wrote my first post last night on these forums, I was scared, because my English is not very good, but I thought people here could see past that and listen to what I had to say.

The first thing that happened was that they made fun of me, my English, my family and my African heretige and skin color. The thread had so much racism in it against me that they removed it today.

I just want to say this, racism is no joke. You who speak English and have nice things, should treat people that don’t know your language with kidness, not hate and arrogance. I wanted to be like you, but no more.

You learn your kids to hate black humans for no reason, you hunt us and hurt us, even on a computer game forum. Racism is everywhere, even in wow and these forums. I feel sad for you people who did those things to me last night, and I did report you. But that will not be able to stop people like you.

In this state, you create racism and distribute wrong meanings on the internet in a game played by children, this is very dangerous. I have written a list of posts I find racist and also forum users.

I can only pray to God that you will listen and learn, white is not right.

Racist behaviour is not something we tolerate on these forums, and if a player is posting such abuse against you on the forums, please report that player by clicking on the red biohazard symbol that can be found in the upper right corner of every offensive post. The people who resort to this kind of abusive posting will get removed from the forums.

Also, we do not tolerate such behaviour in-game, so if other players are abusing you in-game in any way, please report those players to the game master in-game so that they can take action.

This is simply not true!

Most parents teach their children to show respect towards others, teach them to treat people the way they would like to be treated themselves, and I believe this holds true for most cultures in the world. Yes, It is true that some people behave poorly and say objectionable things, but in those cases you blame the person, not the entire population.

I understand that you are frustrated and that you feel hurt, but that does not mean that it is OK to make sweeping generalizations and wrongfully blame an entire population for serious offences that only a few are guilty off.

You know, making comments like this one pretty much makes you just as bad as those people who made racist comments against you!

Bigotry or hatred is the wrong path to take if you seek to heal your wounds and make yourself feel better.

As I said above, racist behaviour is not something we tolerate on these forums, and I can guarantee you that this policy is 100% colour blind... Any racist behaviour against people of Any skin tone will result in being banned from the forums!
