Iacobus Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 How would you play chess if all the peices were one color or all the peices were different colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dUSt Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I think the black man is racist for comparing the black chess pieces to black people, because black people are actually brown, not black. And I'm also offended that he'd compare the white pieces to white people, because white people are actually light orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacobus Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I don't know why anyone would draw the line between chess and race. I always thought of the colors as a way to tell the two sides apart. Plus if you connect the two sides to races than like dUST said be the racist one for focusing on the the race issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 From www.tonguetied.us, a site that lists absolutely goofy political correctness stuff... [quote]A devoted chess player named Bill Ware believe chess as it is currently played is racist and wants to change the rules to eliminate it, [url="http://www.southerndigest.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2004/03/02/4044c44d1aa8a"]according to the Southern Digest[/url], the student newspaper at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La. Ware says the fact that white moves first and black is forced to play defense "states that white is better than black" and represents a form of racism. His solution is Algebra Chess, in which the white and black pieces are replaced by pieces of different colors and the determining factor on who moves first depends on what square the queen sits on.[/quote] To see the actual article, click on "according to the Southern Digest". [quote] I think the black man is racist for comparing the black chess pieces to black people, because black people are actually brown, not black.[/quote] No...not quite, I have a friend from the Sudan...he's definitely black...

Jake Huether Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Shoot. I think we should sue paper companies. Why don't they make black paper. Or MS Word - Why is the default set to white background and black letters?? Huh? Huh? I want answers or I'm suing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
