There needs to be some sort of censorship when it comes to operating a website and I don't understand how The staff at Prince.org...can allow BULLSHIT like this:

"The black people are ruining the org
im sick of these fubu sheanjohn black people downgrading
prince.org some of these ghetto monkeys need go to okayplayer.com with there buckets prince is rainbow child he loves all colors that why he has multiracial band called the npg as long as these track daddy type thugs keep coming the org will never be same so take your gold teeth out pawn your platium jewlry and pay child and go get jos prince dosent like city thugs and me as prince .org member i dont like them to".


Answer me this Staff of Prince.org?! How can you allow these negative statements about different races and ppl sexual orientation to constantly be degraded on your website?

I don't understand this...

how come they allow this shit?

free

how can you respond to his bile and yet bring more attention to this demented cretin?

think people think!

good lawd!

It cuts both ways and moderation when it finally does come hasn't always been equal.

exactly my point...

I would think the founders allow it simply because they have lives, and they're busy. They don't have time to babysit the forums 24/7.

They allow it because they are white and it doesnt matter to most white people as long as you are not bashing or threatening them. They allow it for the same reason they discontinued the thread on the BET interview and Prince's comments on the difference between fams of color and those that are not of color. They allow it for the same reason that they edit the poigant writings of FACE regarding such issues under the gutless guise of keeping peace on the site.

Come on, these are only stupid provocation, no need to dramatise much more about it

alright already! yo, i am new here. being new doesnt discount my sensitivity to racism, discrimination or anything else that deters my people...

HOWEVER...

if you give ignorance the validity of your time by posting an emotional response.. .what is it that you think you doing?


YOU ARE FUELING THE FIRE!


Forget about the moderators for a second and moderate yourselves. Be responsible for you for fuck's sake.

Gottdamn what is wrong with you people?

Don't you know the cure for ignorant, insecure, thoughtless, hateful people is the exact oppossite?

FACE doesn't lie. The above states what many would find too uncomfortable to admit...

Face are you really serious? If so, you're a clown.

That thread was less than THREE hours old before it got commented on and locked. What the fuck, do you really think I sit here all day and look at all the posts people put up and edit every single one? No, I work for a living. I provide prince.org as a FREE service. I moderate it as time allows, and as I see fit. 3 hours is NO time for it to be moderated away.

Yes, those comments etc. are lame, bullshit, etc., and the author of that message was warned. I don't condone nor allow it. But until you run a fully-moderated, better site, don't fucking complain that it took 3 HOURS for something offensive to be censored.

Whoo hoo! You tell them Ben!

If people actually reported the offending posts using the 'report msg to moderator' button, rather than spending hours whining about it, then matters would be handled more effectively.

What's the point though if only the message and not the poster are deleted? I have reported blatant racism to the moderators and "action was taken" yet the offending members remain here posting away.

It'll always come around again...

No need to be rude, I didn't make up that quote and I have no basis to judge you on anything but the words you type.

It is sad that in this day and age we continue to live in a racist and bias society. It is even more unfortunate that, such ignorant and uneducated individuals still exist.

Racism is taught.

BLACKMF said:

Face, that is SO not true, dont you DARE say that about Ben! God, you seemed cool in person, but you're a TOTAL ASSHOLE on the WEb...

Essence said:

Funny, first it was "bastard", now "fucking", next "faggot"?

I think it's more useful that we be able to see the kinds of ignorance that exists in the world, and know the names behind the people who spread it. Not that I would ever condone or promote the spread of hate speech, but when someone posts a lame-ass racist/homophobic/misogynist/etc. message and bares their ass for the Org to see, I know who to steer clear of in the future. Kudos to Ben for clipping the thread, but kudos also to Ben for keeping what existed of the thread accessible so we can see those responsible.

jnoel said:

Semantics. You deny saying "***ing Muslim Paki" then? Honest enough to word it in the correct order for us all?

Id like to continue my Halle Berry tribute:



Scrreeetttchhh!!! 70 Years!! 70 years!! Screeettthhhccc...

we all want free speech until somebody says something WE don't like... so what's the solution 2 their ignorance? do we cut them off... let them die that way? r we not all brothers... or sisters? u have 2 get back 2 go 4ward... go back... take a look if u must... Learn.

WORD UP to BEN & CREW @ PRINCE.ORG
Y'all Cool !

To my brother,

The same type of person who posted such crap posted stuff about having sex with Jesus so forgive them and move on with life.

Peace !

Couldnt be more right there mate. I know Ben is a very busy man & if i could create sites like this one, I would be too.

Not that I dont hate the racist comments but I believe ignoring a thread is its own moderation. Eventually it disapears just the same as if Matt & Ben delete it

Exactly that!
