Blitz is correct, and I for one would be horrified, if the race of any given player even became a factor in the voting. Either publicly or privately.
The best part about CC, is there is an extremely diverse group of players from all over the globe sharing their unique experiences and views of the world. Thats why I find your estimation so disappointing.
well, we all know that when you mix chocolate with white milk you get a delicious drink called chocolate milk......lol who said that? what was his name again? lol some odd ball said that on TV once and now a can't remember what it is from lol oh well.....i thought it was funny !

so where are the brothers and sisters?!!! it was just a question! i'm not race baiting or anything, i was just shocked when i saw a new black face in the forums and it immediately struck me to ask how many black folk there are on the site... lack could only assure me that his butler, personal chef, gardener and chaffeur were black, but not members... (he probably has multi's set up under their aliases...). sooo, i'm just asking!! and when you were shocked at my guestimate of 4 or 5, i found it funny that you have none in your KLAN... sigh... just asking!!! maybe blitz can start a top 5 players of colour thread, and we will all come out of the CC wilderness...-0

I agree... we have a clan as in "clan of the cave bear" not Klan as in "Klan of cowards who are so embarrassed at the actions of their group and afraid of their own diversity within, that they hide their faces in shame and advertise it as pride"

Well, like I say, for all I know there are four or five players with African lineage in the clan. It never occurred to me to ask, or guess. Though our clan is 15 or so players out of tens of thousands. If the percentage is as small as you say in here, the statistical odds would simply be very small. I imagine there are more players with fitz in there name on CC, so statistically its simply more likely that someone with fitz in their name would be in the clan than someone who happened to have African roots. From my experience the voting isn't based on anything other than game performance, attitude, class, and overall personality. Since not all of the clan have posted pictures of themselves, I wouldn't even hazard a guess at their race.
Can't say I know who here is what skin color, unless it happens to come up in conversations, or threads like these. Not a question I typically ask. Now there have been many people claiming to be a certain skin color just to be an ass and try to get away with racist jokes, but that's a different story.

I agree. If my picture wasn't posted in the pictures thread, Id be offended that I was simply assumed to not be African American or any race for that matter.
The fact that I happen to be a male with Anglo-saxon ancestors is completely beyond my control as is the fact that Im strikingly attractive. I simply had no choice in the matter. If someone wants to judge me based on this thats their choice, but of no concern to me.

Set up an 'ethnic diversity' poll Hooter! .. hehe i say this with a slight feeling of trepidation but hopefully it will not disintegrate into a stupid debate on race superiority.
It might give an idea of diversity.. if indeed we want one.
just curious, how did you "see" a new black face on the forum? Did the person have their pic in their avatar or something? See I didnt' know you were black Owen until this thread.
Owen, enough of the racial commentary, and slang, I'm not going to let this thread turn into a racist tirade - against black, white, brown, pink or polka-dotted people. Ask the question you want to ask, just drop the "colourful commentary" is it were
Have a good one

hey, it was a great question and you got all defensive about your KLANS racist acceptance policies and don't ask, don't tell policy to keep blitz in your KLAN, and then someone started in about happy2seeyou's butt... i had an honest question!! all my threads seem to spin out of control.. all this thread needs to be complete, is for wacicha to show up ranting about the plight of the native americans throughout history... oh wait... that already happened.-0
p.s.-happy2seeyou, drinking purple kool-aid won't make you any blacker!!! give it up girl!!!

I didnt get defensive about anything. You kept asking questions, and I kept answering. As for my above quote, that was a joke aimed at jimi's and Blitz's comments.
Im sorry if youre assuming that Thota is all white, I simply have no idea if thats the case.
