Hiya all,
So today I was in a fasting and got to the finals. I absolutely loved it and met some great people. EccentroLucas87 & koolmanmadden :). I hope I can be friends with them for a long time.
However, one thing which got to me in that game was, for the first time ever, I experienced racist comments towards myself and koolmanmadden .
It started with one of them saying "Ashanti and koolman. i'm sorry". I wondered what this was about, and then suddenly messages like the following appeared - "I HATE POOR PEOPLE LKE BLACKIES", "Hey, me and emily are siblings. and we hate poor people. if you're poor. gtfo", "I HATE BLACKIES", "We're not aloud to talk to poor people. sorry:/" and "SHUT THE FUCK UP BITCHIE".
Later in one of the Chatzy's imsocool referred to me as "the black girl", this did kind of hurt me a bit. As I like to think I'm just like everyone else.
This all made me think, how can people be like this? Why would people judge people by their race, religion or color? I think of everyone equally and have friends of all faiths, religions and cultures, I don't care what someone is. But why do people like that exist in the world? What's wrong with being a black girl? Or being different to what someone else is?
Anyway, I just wanted to get my thoughts out there, as it did get to me a bit. It wasn't just me though koolmanmadden was also targetted, and later called "a piece of shit" in one of his blogs by the same girl EmilyLauren1234 .
Anyone else ever experienced anything like this before on here? And I was wondering, do you think I should report it, or leave it?
People are going to talk and say things they shouldnt.
Ive had so many people on here call me names and cuss
at me.....solely on my age. because I am older.
There is no top age limit for playing here. the
youngest you can be is 13 but nothing bout how old
you can be.
Ive reported it a couple times.
Honestly what I would do....Ignore them. They are having
fun harrassing you...If they continue to bother you after
you have asked them to stop.....then by all means report them
there is no room on tengaged for bullies and that is all they
are!
Best of luck!
I have never experienced racism on Tengaged, but I have in real life. I am Native Canadian, so my skins darker, and people treat Natives in Canada pretty bad. Similar to how Aboriginals are treated in Australia. +11.
racism! my brother is special ed and i get a hard time about it but he does mostly plus his best freind is african american and specail ed both so you can imagine

Its spreadin bitch i tell ya. ashanti d.w gurl be true to urself and i let that bitch shannon have it via mail. Saying black ppl r poor is just fucked up nd a stereotype. And u could tell that this gurl was dealing with some personal issues her self aka 'self hate, down syndrome, and chronic bitch'
Hey. I was babysitting kids about 11 years old and they put that. I am defiantly not racist, i swear by it. I'm sorry for hurt feelings. I'm no way racist at all, i get mad when people are racist in public. I don't like that I'm getting mail off of something 2 11 year old twins put on my tengaged account.
Ashanti, Baby, people on this site are Foolish. Don't Let Them get to you, Only You can make yourself Happy. Let me know if you need anything, I'm Down 4 U & Always On Time.
^um no idea what he means by that but anyways
Hopefully by now youve tried reporting the siblings...that was rude and uncalled for.
Regardless if Tmod takes action...don't let those two bring you down. You are going to encounter a LOT of trolls on the site. I've had some random person make a remark about me being an ape, like a year ago. It sucks. But you get over it and keep doing you & show them that they can't affect you :)
I'm sorry you felt weird about what imsocool wrote. I understand where you're coming from. But I'm sure he meant no harm & he was just trying to connect with you in a way I guess?
Trust, not everyone is like that here. A lot of folks on this site are gay so they're more understanding of being respectful of peoples' different backgrounds. Hope you don't run into anymore trolls like that for a good while :)
just remember that god doesn't make mistakes and you are fearfully, and wonderfully made, your a princess and daughter of god and noone can take that away, i'm willing to talk whenever
I would for sure report them. Racism should not be tolerated in any form. Report them and if they give you any shit about it? Report them again for harassment and get them banned.
If you guys go to the public comments on the following game, you will see that my account made no racial comments whatsoever. but it was my sister who did so.
