Ever heard of the ‘separate but equal’ laws?


Segregation wasn't about racism from the working class, it was racism inherent to corrupt system that had infiltrated America and the people behind it were not Americans!”



If you had talked to the average Southerner in the early 1900’s, I’m sure you would have a different opinion.

“The institutionalised racism against Asian people that is going on today comes from the racist BLM and Antifa supporters.”



-What institutionalized racism against Asians?

-How can it be ‘institutionalized’ if it’s coming from BLM and Antifa? Institutionalized means it has always been inherent to our institutions.

There have been less than ten black grandmasters in history, and you're trying to tell me that this is okay??? Chess.com should take steps to promote diversity in the chess community by giving advantages to members of specific communities to finally get the race balance we need at the highest level. I am proposing knight odds or equivalent for everyone who puts Black as their race into chess.com. We must actively acknowledge past discrimination and make amends. What are your thoughts on this?

pretty bold statement, for a smolbrain racist piece of sh.. with barely 1000 ELO rating

Why is there only white and black pieces in chess?! This is racist towards people in other races such as Asian and Latino! Chess.com needs to change this and also white and black should start at the same time!

The chess set I own (a wooden set from decades ago) is more reflective of global population: the white pieces have turned yellow, and the black pieces have faded to brown.
