    Activists protest against chess as 'racist'

    A group of activists , calling themselves the 'Society for racial equality" , have lodged their protest , saying that chess is racist in that the two opposing sides being named black and white and giving white the first move is racits and promotes racism indirectly .

    WTF is it with these crackpots ? Chess is racist ? I'd say it's a case og getting too psyched up over nothing .

    On the plus side it's totally pro-homosexuality. Look at the way the queen dominates the board.

      They have too much time on their hands?

      Or maybe they prefer playing draughts ("Checkers")?

        I hear crosswords puzzles are racist too. Why do the answers have to go in the WHITE squares.

            All piano players are white supremacists, otherwise they'd use the Afro-American keys more often.

              This reminds me of an incident I read about some years back.

              Apparently, a US company made a batch of Christmas mugs with a twist. Initially, the picture on the outside showed a dark coloured unhappy face. If you put a hot liquid into the mug, the picture would change to a light coloured happy face.

              Then some Harvard professor (IIRC) complained about this being racist.

                  Writing down the answers on a crossword is considered too easy by some people... they do it from memory.

                            Who's in favour of all chess players being forced to crawl on their hands and knees before Robert Mugabe to apologize?

                            I mean, just as a start...

                              Even the non-white ones? Where's the sense in that?
