Hate to break it to you, but good looks sell, so it IS part of the job. KB already explained that. Might wanna re-read his posts.
I made this point in my first post. That's not the issue here. The issue here is that you based your appearance rating (at least in part) on personal attraction, and then gave non-white women low appearance ratings. In doing so, you stated that non-white women are less qualified wrestlers than white women.
That was the point. Two can play the Straw man Argument game. Your entire bogus "racism rant" was a Straw man Argument.
What rant? The one where I said giving non-white women consistently lower rating appearances than white women is racist?
I mean... isn't that the definition of racism?
I actually Googled racism to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Here's what it said.
Google said:
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
In saying that white women in general look better than non-white women, you were being racist... according to Google.
And my problem is that you have a problem with ranking the white women higher, because you're racist against white women.
When have I ever displayed any racism against white women? Again, supporting non-white women is not racism against white women, and if you believe otherwise, you are only proving my point.
Just because you keep saying something over and over again does not make it true. I have no issues with any particular race. Racists DO have issues with other races. You know, like that little problem you have with white women. Your therapist must have a heck of a file on you with all your stories of horrible things white women supposedly did to you to make you harbor such disdain for them.
A few things, some funny, some not.
1) I am between therapists right now, thank you very much.
2) I don't appreciate you implying that going to therapy is a bad thing. Therapy has helped me a lot in my life and I am not ashamed to admit that.
3) I don't appreciate you saying I have a problem with women (white or otherwise) when I haven't said anything demeaning towards or of women in recent history on this forum, or possibly ever. By accusing me of being misogynistic, you are making light of actual misogyny, like ranking women based on how attractive you find them and saying it has something to do with how good they are at their jobs.
4) You gave non-white women lower appearance rankings than white women. Can we at least agree on this point? If so, then let's play a logic game.
Dagger states that women with better looks are better professional wrestlers than women wit poor looks.
Dagger states that white women in general have better looks than non-white women.
Dagger states that white women are better professional wrestlers than non-white women.
The first two statements are things you have flat out said. So tell me why the third statement is wrong.
No it's not. I am more attracted to white women. That does not make me a racist. You're an idiot if you think otherwise.
I said in my response to KB that I don't think that it's racist to be more attracted to white women.
You keep accusing me of not reading your posts, but are you reading mine?
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why JGlass is grasping at straws for things to bitch about. He and a couple of others are obviously still ********* about the election.
Dagger, if I actually cared about the election, why would I wait all these years (what has it been, three or four years since it?) to make a giant thread targeting you?
Anyone who knows me well knows that I don't take kindly to racist and sexist behavior on these forums, and your post demonstrated both of these behaviors. That's why I made this thread.
In fact, here's a compliment: you preform a necessary job as a moderator and do a good job at it. But just because you're a good moderator doesn't excuse the fact that the post I called into question in this thread was in poor taste.
Good looks sell --> I prefer white women --> From which you determine that white women are better at this job than non-whites
In defending yourself, you're literally spelling out how ass-backwards your stance is.
Nobody is saying being more attracted to white women is racist. Nobody believes that. You have no idea what the argument is after all these posts. Amazing.
It's amazing, right? I had a pretty nice long laugh about that.
This thread looks interesting, but not 113 posts of reading interesting. The quick impression I have is that Dagger is racist because he's attracted to lighter skin women? Or have we moved on from this since then?
It was never about that. It was the fact that he gave women a number ranking based (at least in part) on how attractive he thought they were, gave non-white women lower rankings, and then stated that these appearance rankings helped measure how good they were at their job. In doing so, he stated that non-white female wrestlers are worse at their jobs than their white counterparts because of their appearance.
