Unfortunately, your recent report has been rejected: Post in thread 'Tiger Woods authors one of the greatest sports stories of all time. Wins 5th Green Jacket. 15th Major.' - We do not believe that the user was using this in a racist manner, given their post history that calls out racism, and their investment in issues concerning black people. The meaning of this word can change drastically depending on context. That's why have received a warning rather than a ban
Please, tell me how you really feel. My post was a dig at the forum in general and not at either poster I quoted FWIWYes, forget the rest of my post and single that part out. Quote the whole thing. So transparent lmfao. Do it quote my entire post or you are an asshat.
Glad I'm not alone in my thinking. Whoever moderated that is off, IMO.Probably going to regret this because I like this forum and really don't want to get banned but since I actually do care about racism and find it completely unacceptable I refuse to stand by and say nothing.
I am going to share the reason that guy only got a warning (since I reported him and this was the response.)

I am sorry but context is irrelevant, like I said before, if it was a black cop calling a young black kid the N word and he tried to justify it because of "context" and because his personal convictions told him it was justified would that be ok?
No, it would be racist, just like the use of the word coon to describe Tiger is racist.
Personal opinion on an individual shouldn't give a free pass to spout words like that with hateful history behind them.
Using the N word as a friendly greeting and taking the hate out of the word and taking the power away from racists I can fully understand but the word coon is being used in a hateful manner here to describe Tiger, how is that justifiable?
It's racist imo.
Coon said by a black dude about a black dude aint racist, it has a different meaning. But for me Tiger is just a dickhead, he aint Kanye.Probably going to regret this because I like this forum and really don't want to get banned but since I actually do care about racism and find it completely unacceptable I refuse to stand by and say nothing.

Exactly. There's no context needed. It's easy for ppl to pretend to be for black people and call out racists in disguise. That poster couldn't help but show his true colours. RidiculousProbably going to regret this because I like this forum and really don't want to get banned but since I actually do care about racism and find it completely unacceptable I refuse to stand by and say nothing.

It's pretty much this. It means an uncle Tom. Context really does matter. The meaning of words can change depending on the person who is saying it.Coon said by a black dude about a black dude aint racist, it has a different meaning.
Coon said by a black dude about a black dude aint racist, it has a different meaning. But for me Tiger is just a dickhead, he aint Kanye.
Tiger, by all accounts, is basically a huge jerk. Obviously this is most exemplified by the way he treated his wife and children, but that is basically the pattern for the way he treats everyone around him. His father did a real number on him.

what this nikka saidCoon said by a black dude about a black dude aint racist, it has a different meaning. But for me Tiger is just a dickhead, he aint Kanye.
Sure, that's why you cut off the part of my post talking about the sports aspect of it. Riiiight. smfh.Please, tell me how you really feel. My post was a dig at the forum in general and not at either poster I quoted FWIW
What if everyone went around this forum calling every black person a coon though? And when called out they say "it's ok I'm black". ? I've grown up around black people my whole life and only ever heard racist shitheads use that.Coon said by a black dude about a black dude aint racist, it has a different meaning.

No doubt. Tiger on Sunday was the closest we got to watching Jordan in the playoffs/finals. I guess I just miss that feeling and want it back.
PS. Lifelong Knicks fan but Jordan was something special.
I'm black, and I've heard it used in the context of an uncle tom for literally my entire life.What if everyone went around this forum calling every black person a coon though? And when called out they say "it's ok I'm black". ? I've grown up around black people my whole life and only ever heard racist shitheads use that.
Don't call me brother plz. I get you, but some have reclaimed coon as well. I don't use it myself.I disagree brother, sorry, using a racist term in a hateful fashion is racist, irrespective of race imo,there is no need to use that word, not trying to start an argument just giving my opinion on it.
By all means people can insult Tiger but that word has a significant history behind it and it's not even like how the N word was reclaimed for use in a positive context, this is just used in a degrading fashion towards Tiger because they disagree with his personal decisions.
Would it be ok for a black cop to call a kid from the streets the hard N word because he felt it was justified? Hell no man, I can't agree with this logic.
Look at mans posts? Mods have obviously done it and were sure he was black.How is anyone supposed to know that the poster is black? To the random user it looks like unchecked racism.
The meaning from who is saying it isn't really relevant when it's some anonymous person on a forum.
Tiger isn't a member of EraWhat if everyone went around this forum calling every black person a coon though? And when called out they say "it's ok I'm black". ? I've grown up around black people my whole life and only ever heard racist shitheads use that.
That person has to be friends with a Mod that is the only way that isn't a ban.Is resetera desperate for traffic nowadays that this racist shit only warrants a warning? Which mod read this post and decided it's not ban worthy. Disgusting
You literally posted to argue against the mods interpretation.
Yup, I'm am not about to police a Black person using that word, fully allowed. It's like if I said , "stop your nonsense you're being a "f****t" to one of my fellow lgbt folks,they would 100% get my meaning and not try and call me prejudiced or some nonsense
Look at mans posts? Mods have obviously done it and were sure he was black.

Brady? Ugh.Can we agree the sports Mount Rushmore is:
Tiger, Brady, Jordan and Bradham
Roman Reigns will be here.Can we agree the sports Mount Rushmore is:
Tiger, Brady, Jordan and Bradham
This was way more impressive than what Fed did. Fed stayed healthy and just continued to work hard and evolve culminating in him solving Nadal at the Australian.Had to one up roger Federer in the "everyone thinks he's washed" but he comes back and proves them wrong.
Jack Nicklaus was on young tigers wall for a reason, I think even Tiger has said Jack is goat.Can we agree the sports Mount Rushmore is:
Tiger, Brady, Jordan and Bradham
