Systemic Racism in Chess: White moves first.

That tells you how to report a person, not a thread! (hehe)

If someone really wants to get this thread deleted (I don't think it's doing any harm, but I really don't care one way or the other), I guess just contact support. Danny Hume is now the first poster, but I think the original OP must have been "disappeared" somehow. So I don't think it would be fair to report Danny.

People can always switch to bowling, a game where a big black ball knocks over white figures with red necks.

Except that now we have bowling balls of all colors; We must be racially diverse at all costs!

Next, we need bowling pins of all different colors. Wouldn't the bowlers love that?

That appears to be correct.  However, there is a box where you can type in some details.  I already reported this thread, and simply noted that I was not trying to report the first comment, but rather, the thread itself, and I included the thread URL.

Well, chess isn't racist. It was a war game, and it just used to color just as a way to separate the different "armies." and it isn't racist because of the white part, ya'll are acting like it was made in England or somewhere in a time where it was racist, no, it was made in india.

I agree; and I think they chose black and white because they were the most obvious contrasting colors

Yes

I wonder if the maker of the thread is muted for spamming

Nah

then why are their comments gone

What?

Besides, there are red and black pieces instead of white sometimes. Noone is calling that racist*it isn't*

I am more concerned with billiards/pool. A white ball dominates the playing field by pushing around balls of color. From now on, I refuse to "break" other colors; I will simply roll the white ball into the proper place (a hole).

And I resent the fact that the billiard cloth is usually green. I mean, I can't do anything about the color of my skin...

Shogi game (actually is japanese chess) has no colored pieces, all pieces are white, weird haha

I see now. So since they are colorless, they are not racist. But as soon as you color the pieces, say, pink and purple and blue and red and all sorts of pretty colors, then boy oh boy!!! Then it's racist. Is that correct?

I also agree with Counterproductiveham, where I believe that eons ago "White" was originally "Red."

DOUBLE POST!! And an effort to hijack this thread. If I was playing monopoly, and I had hotels, which are red, and my opponent bought some houses for one of his monopolies, which are green, is that racist?
