Not only do I play WAR games - but RACIST games as well! And I LOVE it!

Racist games are intelligent games! Thats why intelligent people are racist people!

If you were to equip chess with white and red fields and pieces again, the North American natives could feel hurt. So should one change the rules of chess worldwide so that black begins in the future? Or would that be racism with reversed roles?

Sufficient food for thought there.

I just realized almost all my books are racist. They start with white pages and then the black ink goes next....

And what about Checkers? Black and red squares and pieces, isn't that racist?

Apparently racism is only racist if you're white.

I didn't even know that "white" was supposed to go first in chess. Which color goes first in checkers? What about backgammon? :hmmm:


If I suck at chess what does that mean?

There already is a 2020 Election themed chess set being flogged on TV in the US:

...and some one has come up with a clever parody of the TV ad:

The half-blue/half-red chessboard is an annoying concept and would probably be a distraction in play; the idea of a "certificate of authenticity" is laughable; does anyone think there are going to be counterfeit chess sets manufactured given the demand for the originals is probably going to be very low? Imagine the Customs authorities press conference: "Today we are announcing the confiscation of 5,000 faux Rolex watches, 4,000 faux Chanel bags, 3,500 pairs of fake Nike sneakers, and 10,000 Battle for the White House chess sets were seined by ICE officers, with a total value of USD $1,500,000, or, if you don't count the chess sets, USD $1,499,500..."...

Another thing I noticed: the Queen position for the Blue/DEM side will be occupied by Kamala Harris; on the Red/GOP side, it will be... Mike Pence, something sure to irk that noted homophobe...

Rgarding color, as someone who spent a considerable amount of his working life in the accounting field, the state of being financially solvent and whole is know as being "in the black", while financial insolvency and distress is known as "being in the red", th color of choice by the GOP...

Quote: "Could it be that such bizarre side scenes promote precisely what is rightly opposed?"

I've always believed that this kind of witch hunting only creates resentment of the 'Witchfinders' and promotes racist behaviour as a kind of backlash

They should make the game illegal anyway, as it promotes violence.



:03:

And you can "Damen schlagen". What is male violence if not this?
