banned for saying "negro" :(

I'd like to appeal this ban; I said the word negro in a lighthearted context with no intent to offend, and I deeply regret it.

I understand that racism is not tolerated in the least, including but not limited to one's own skin color.

I am black, and very sorry. I apologize. In the future I will make every effort to avoid mentioning my race, as I know now that I will be banned for it.

Again, I apologize and deeply regret who I am and that I mentioned it at all.

This is just another example of the racism I continue to encounter, and it is appalling. Nonetheless, I enjoy playing on your server and I'd like to continue, although you can be absolutely certain that I will never, ever mention that I am black again while playing there.

I think the kick vote was warranted, we don't like the n word regardless of your own race. I find it silly that it's okay for blacks to say the n word, but not whites.

We're not politically correct here, so nobody can say the "n" word.

Consider the kick vote your warning.
