  1. How about when July 4th lands on a Saturday or Sunday? Can you swim then? Must be tough, though, in a sheet and hood...

    You believe your own bullshit. Don’t expect anyone else to.

  3. You follow black kids around you don't think deserve to be in a good school and make assumptions about whether they deserve it or not.

    You literally proved it on the thread, what more do you need.

    Mind makes action, you proved it.

    And what exactly would those privileges be? The only privileges that I can think of would be a opponent automatically underestimating an unknown black player and failing to put in the required effort.

  6. Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. On June 17, 2021, it officially became a federal holiday.

    Anyone ridiculing this holiday has outed themselves for the fucking racists that they are.

    Follow who around. Pay attention. I coach kids. The chess community is small. I know who all the top scholastic players are. I know who are deserving based on pure achievement, not race. Everybody has a rating and the kids are ranked 1 through 100 by age and gender.

    He won the Denker prize as a crappy candidate master who wouldn’t crack the top 30 in his group. And race has nothing to do with it? Get the fuck out of here.

    I am not doubting anything but I did research online about it and I didn't see any reporting of any incident of this sort. What I believe in is it's not the opportunity that matters, it's what you do with the opportunity that does. I remember the first time when Chris Rock was hosting the Oscar. He made his speech addressing the issue of lack of diversity in Hollywood and what he said was all African-Americans want is opportunity, the opportunity to showcase what they have and what they can do and that's fair. I am glad that society is making an effort to try to accomplish this even at the detriment of other ethnicities, to provide opportunities so that way if you still cannot achieve what you want to achieve, you have no one else to blame.

  9. I am very much paying attention. You are following around one black kid who was caught cheating and are using that as an example for the whole race. We have proven that you can find misbehaving kids in any race.

    Your inferiority complex is showing quite heavily. "This is the one thing I have and goddamnit if I am not going to use it against black kids".

  10. You ever think that maybe there are simply more men interested in chess than women, and that this selection/sampling bias might have an impact?
