chess.com racist

Why i get to play as black everytime i choose random? Is this game racist or something?

White always goes first, that is racist in itself, they should ban chess, it's a racist game.

There are several psychosocioeconomic factors at play in the racism of chess. A beginner of chess learns the power of “white first” very quickly. They will see that an opponent will prefer the white pieces if given a choice. They feel a sense of empowerment even when they are playing a stronger opponent when they have gained this white supremacy. For this reason, players who play white may be more motivated to win. Conversely, we have been conditioned to oppress black and that it should be content with merely a draw.

This psychosocial relegation of black to an inferior status has been reinforced in many ways. The early chess books focused on how to exploit the white advantage over black. It was one of the earliest attempts to show the power of racial privilege.

Fact check: The convention of the player with the white pieces moving first was adopted in 1857, lead by players and organisers from England and the USA. We will never fully understand the motivation behind the choice of colour. The Atlantic Slave Trade ran from approximately 1526 to 1867. It's undeniable that White on Black racism was rife at the time.

Only a matter of time before the woke police force chess.com to make first move alternate between black and white. You heard it here first. Either that or demand the black pieces become dark blue or some other colour.

In rapid you've had 17 white and 15 black.

Hi

Chess is racist cuz they were like oh yeah white is better than black so white goes first

Quack, quack!

this is not bedtime

if you guys have a problem with chess being "racist" then just dont play it nobody is baning a whole competitive sport because some people think that it is "racist" so shut up and just play the game

and on the same topic the original chess was made Christians vs Muslims and Christians as white Muslims as black so this is where the white goes first comes from. because they saw Christians as the superior race.

Fact Check: The original form of Chess predates both Islam and Christianity by thousands of years.

Clouds are racist. They are white, and they're above you.

So it looks like racism has God's own seal of approval.
