Let me guess. You had a Hitler avatar and you were asked to change it?

Its a picture of Cartman in a hitler uniform. How is that not funny?

I don't see the problem. Cartman in any kind of costume is funny.

I am not a racist, but I am a white supremacist. While I disagree about many things the Vikings did, I do feel proud of the color of my skin, and everything that my forefathers in Greece, Rome and Sumeria achieved.

Which white male with a functioning brain would not feel the same way?

To me, it makes a difference if you are belittling Hitler or glorifying him.

But, he is dressed as Hitler. That's pretty edgy.

Are you sure your brain is functioning?

RE: Hitler avatars. It's a case by case decision. I have no problem with Cartman.

It's a case-by-case thing. Cartman dressed as Hitler takes the piss out of neo-Nazis, not Jews. Same thing if I'd used a picture of myself at Hitler in Daejeon as my avatar, because it was a joke.

Now if someone had this as an avatar, that would be a different story...


And about my views on the white race, see my screenname. When I want rational, thoughtful discussion about race, I can find it much easier on www.skinheads.net than here.
