^ Beat it, spook, this don't concern you.
*discuss
this is more "satire"?
Or do we just call black people "spooks" here whenever we feel like it now?
Spook? Never heard that as a derogatory term for people of color. Any color. Always heard it used in reference to a CIA operative.
Really?
Type "spook" into google and read the first thing you see.
Maybe you think he was calling me a spy?
Maybe that word has no meaning where you are from. But like I said, google.
There is no question qm knows what it meant even if you don't.
Edit: And don't downvote the video because of a comment. That's mean-spirited and petty.
Secondly, just because you don't know what something means doesn't mean anything at all.
QM knew what it meant.
Throw "spook" into google right now.
What do you see at the top of the page?
"A derrogatory slur for a person of African descent. ie: [Nigger]"
Do you HONESTLY think he was calling me a ghost or a spy? .. lol
Those are the only other things it could mean.
>> ^Fjnbk:
Why is this in discussion? It's the comment that's causing the controversy. And this isn't a clear-cut case of racism at all. I honestly didn't know that "spook" was derogatory.
Edit: And don't downvote the video because of a comment. That's mean-spirited and petty.
What any of this has to do with the video is beyond me. I just wish I didn't have to get 25 star points to downvote the damn thing.
still, can we start a poll or something, maybe a separate talk post? i hear these kind of things bring out the best in people.

if he isn't, well.. perhaps QM's comment was just a distasteful jab for the "yawn"
either way, I'd say a hobbling is in order (at least) to get the point across that that language is unacceptable, regardless of the race of the person it was directed at
Assholes of all races.
And, might I add, rather promptly.
Actually, I think he got banned for using the word "nigger," although I don't know anything about the situation. However, if you scroll further down, you see another post of his in all caps. That, to me, seems more offensive than his first post there, and the more likely culprit to securing him a shiny new ban.
I don't think it's too out of the question to consider that many people may not have heard of the word "spook" within the context in which we're discussing. The other word is the more commonly referenced one, and the last time I heard "spook" was in the new Eastwood film 'Gran Torino.' I knew the word before that, but it's far more rare.
QM certainly did know what he was saying, however.

are you black? not that it matters in any context other than this.
Also, anyone else finding it ironic that we're all up in arms over the use of the word "spook", yet the more offensive words have already been used in this post?
Wait, burd is black? News to me. Not that it should matter, but it would put a different spin on the whole thing.

Shut up you fraggle rocker
No, EndAll's brother got banned for using "spook", because the user who dropped the N bomb is different than the one who used "spook." See:

Just because some of you might not know "spook" is a racist term doesn't mean that it's not a slur or that it's not as bad as better known slurs. Also, I've lived in Nebraska, Florida, New York, Maryland, Colorado and Wyoming, and in every one of those places people knew that "spook" was a slur. I'm guessing it's the same all over the U.S., and in Canada too. But I suppose that's besides the point, because even if it's a slur only familiar to a few members, then it shouldn't be allowed.
For example, most of us now know (thanks to George Allen) that "macaca" is a racist term, even though it's quite uncommon in most places. So should we allow members to call black people "macacas" because of its relatively low usage?
And to those who want to cry "CENSORSHIP!", because someone always wants to throw freedom of speech into these things, please reorder your priorities. Like it's been said a million times before, this is NOT a country. It's a web site. It's like a big house where there's always a party going on, and you're invited as long as you abide by a few rules. I know if someone referred to black people as "spooks" in my house I'd show them the door.
I don't want this place to turn into a shit hole where people can hurl racial or ethnic slurs with impunity. That'll attract the wrong kind of people, and then watch the advertisers fly out the door when they see their wares being advertised next to shit like "spook." And then say goodbye to VideoSift.
Based on the precedent established by the Westy affair I'm going to hobble QM. I fail to see how QM's usage of "spook" could have been meant in any other way except as a racial slur. I leave it to the admins to decide how long he should be hobbled.
I think we should allow "macaca". It's too cute not to use. Maybe we can just change the meaning...
I know if someone referred to black people as "spooks" in my house I'd show them the door.
What about referring to penises? Like this sentence, for instance: I like to spit on my forefinger and thumb and rub the head of my spook until it spits back. Is that okay?
and the only people I've ever heard use it to describe ghosts are very old or dead (in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spook).
I would think that most people have heard it in common use in this context on cartoons such as Scooby Doo where it's used in most episodes. I suppose those cartoons are mostly quite old, though.
I haven't heard of the racist use of this word in the UK, but as said above, it appears to mainly be a US thing. Once again, I learn from The Sift.
sighs...fucking retahded....
Dunno why he's not banned in the first place other than he's not really deserving of the infamy.
But feel free to ban him so he can join the ranks of the liveleak trolls.
Such types of comments couldnt make the situation any clearer... he's not going to stop, and maybe he can't. Maybe it's an obsession to have his paranoia proven wrong.
He does seem to be obsessed with the following notion:
“The likelihood of one individual being right increases in direct proportion to the intensity with which others are trying to prove him wrong.”
But he's forgetting a key characteristic from that scenario is missing in reality -- no one is trying here - they are just flat out succeeding. His fantasy of Validation will occur with his banning. Give him, and every other person tired of his bullshit, an early Christmas present. Win win.
you guys are just now noticing that all QM does is try to cause agitation?

^My god, apparently someone's taken quite a liking to the new and improved linking system.
