What colors should we use?
Red would be called representative of communism Orange is symbolic somewhat of fire Yellow mocks the player, comparing to a school bus. Blue mocks the player, comparing them to the bottom of the ocean Green sybolizes growth, as if the player is improving fast No guy would play with pink pieces Brown is a boring neutral color Grey " " " " " Purple is red + blue, or communists at the bottom of the seaAnyone with some time to kill can disprove any color. Changing won't fix it.
Continuing:
Green: thinks your common and worthless (opposite of red)
Blends: combination of the blended colors
Clear: people might not see the pieces as well
Animal shaped: thinks your dumb (for example, a donkey)
Etc.
Also, how is it racist? Were they jokin? Both sides are about equal, and black wins more in some lines. Niven42 is right.

I would totally play with pink pieces. :D
Let's see if someone can set that up. Regular pink and hot pink will be the colors. You must show up wearing all pink covered in pink reflectors. Add pink accessories, like a watch, shades, etc. It's on.
So that's for just girls or the poofs, right? I really don't think I'd want to play chess or have a drink in a place like that! What would you call that. "Flaming chess"?

yea how come white always goes first? definatly racist
Ok this is just dumb. It's been discussed. It's been analyzed. It's also kind of an annoying thing to start into. Then this guy says this. Pin-headed!
D.J.
I was actually kinda annoyed that the "Club Special" 8-color set from Wholesale Chess has pink pieces (8-color = white, black, red, green, yellow, navy, purple, pink). Wouldn't orange or brown have been a better choice?
Well, for $20, you still can't beat it. 
There is no discrimination. Discrimination applies to people not inanimate objects.
Players get equal opportunity to play black or white

It was pointed out in post #12 and re-emphasized in post #16. Thanks for playing.
Yeah that's why I prefaced my statement with a sentiment of uncertainty. And as for the real point, no one mentioned reverse racism.
The whole concept of "reverse racism" is odd. Racism is racism -- end of story.
Yes! The whole concept of 'hate crime' too is odd, since all crimes stem from some form of hate in the first place.

Reverse racism? Isn't that a hatred for those bells that go off when heavy machinery is backing up?
