I'm whipping my black Minmitar slaves in celebration as we speak. Well... at least I'm celebrating, the slaves... not so much.

A few of them also wanted to make a speech for the literary part of the celebration, but they can't speak or read as they don't need those skills for picking the space fields.

I think this is a marvellous idea. Since we're currently looking for a convenient excuse to restart the Reclaiming, a Minmatar blockade of the Amarr trading hub will be all the reason we'll need. \o/

Maybe we should form a neighbourhood watch to make sure nothing goes wrong with this event.... What? too soon?

You should try contacting the GNAA, i'm sure you can get them to sponsor the event.

Hello EVE players!

We will be hosting the first annual Black History Week for New Eden starting the first week in October, 2013!

During this event we will be focusing on the many great black heroes of New Eden, and their important contributions to New Eden Culture. All are invited to attend, but as a measure of respect request only black capsuleers contribute to the literary portion of the celebration. During this event we will be occupying the Amarr docking ring using the appropriately named "vigil and Vigilant" to celebrate the memories of black capsuleers no longer with us. There will be a creative writing contest open to all black capsuleers with a one billion ISK prize.


Don't Miss!

  • The 'Vigil' and 'Vigliant' occupation of the Amarr trade hub to celebrate solidarity against discrimination.

  • The One Billion ISK reward for the literary contest

  • Many new features to come along as the event schedule is formalized!



SUNDAY September 29th thru SATURDAY October 5th, BE THERE!

We are looking for sponsors, please contact me with an EVE-mail to discuss appropriate contributors, do not send ISK to this character as it would diminish the integrity of the celebration.

Due to the logistics of the affair we will need to have 500 registrations to attend by the 15th of September 2013.

Perhaps I'm missing some terribly obvious subtext here, but at a first glance, nothing in the OP's post indicates that this has anything to do with real life. Since in New Eden there are no Africans or Americans, there are also obviously no African-Americans; to my knowledge, the only black capsuleers are Minmatar. Suggesting that one gather at the Amarr hub to celebrate the great Minmatar heroes of New Eden is, admittedly, a somewhat abstruse idea, but not, perhaps, entirely lacking in humour.

"Enduring", "restrained" and "ample" as designations for starship components are foreign to the genre of high-tech science fiction and don’t belong in Eve Online. (And as for “scoped” …)

Such irony... The Amarr, a slave-holding State with a slave economy, is holding a "Black History Week".... I don't know what else to think of this.

Is this sincere, or an elaborate troll?


And that is exactly why real life politics and opinions shouldn't cross the divide and enter this game. I don't give a rats arse about anyone's skin colour, they are all just pixels to me. I hope that this is a joke, if it is it's in very poor taste. I come to eve to get away from all of this ****.

Greetings

I have moved this thread to the appropriate forum. The event itself is not inherently racist. It is usually the reply's that turn nasty. Keep it clean and on topic. I am keeping an eye on this thread. Upon further deliberation Thread is locked until I get some clarification.
