So I Changed my Minecraft Skin to a Black Skin...

Hello, I don't know if you guys know, but I made my own minecraft skin. With the things that have been happening lately, I feel that I needed to do something about and tried to talk/discuss about racism and discrimination. As I already imagined, many people disagree with what I said and hated me for trying to open their eyes to the discrimination and racism that they make, even not realizing it (this is not just about community members, but actually about staff members as well).
I think making a black version of my skin could be something to show that I support Black people, and at the same time, try to put myself in their shoes, or better, putting myself on their skin.

I had the best intention when I made the skin, but I would like to receive opinions, especially from Black people cause:
- I'm not black myself, actually my dad is, but I don't know if you guys feel like it's an insult as I'm not black and I'm using a Black skin.
- I'm asking for opinions from Black people, so respect it and respect them as well.
- You are welcome to comment if you have things to say that are going to contribute with this.
- If you don't have anything good to say, go find another thread to waste your time and reply.

Here's the link to the pictures of my old skin, and this one: https://imgur.com/a/8fys5Fv

 

I already support Black Lives Matter, but what I'm trying to explain is about racism and discrimination inside Minecraft and especifically on the server.
As you might know, everyone can say something like "fu** you black nig*** you should die and burn in hell with your race" and not get punished if they do this in /msgf. In my opinion, the server is failing about that and Admins don't care about to change these rules. You can call someone an "ape" in public chat and you will be completely fine, cause staff members think it's not a racial slur/insult.
I already made suggestions about this and already discussed with many people and staff members about how I disagree with these rules and about how discrimination is okay on the server, so I decided to make a skin intending to support Black people.
Also: What do you mean by "bat"?

 

Yeah, np...
I know doing this is not going to do anything about the issue, but I think it might be a way to show (in-game) that I support Black people and BLM. Since the arguments I had were ignored by many people that use to commit discrimination and racism, I decided to change my minecraft skin to show that I support Black people and it might be a way to protest again racist people as well.

 

Ok, so?
People are real, and people play Minecraft. It doesn't mean that cause it's "not even real life" it's okay to be racist on a block game. I'm supporting black people and I'm against racism and discrimination, that if you don't know, it's something common to see in chat. People being racist on a block game is what makes no sense, and people being racist in real life makes no sense as well. I choose to support Black people in Minecraft so I don't understand your point, since people are real and what they say is real.

 

I completely understand your point, and I wasn't going to make this thread, but after many things I saw and read, I decided to do something about that. It's just a Minecraft Server, but why people need to be racist then? Toxicity, racism and discrimination are common things on the server, so I think we should talk about that even if it's a sensitive topic.
People should understand racism and discrimination shouldn't be tolerated anywhere, even on a Minecraft Server or a block game.

 

Excuse-me?
"There will be more people that will hate black people"
Isn't it what I'm fighting against?
You are definitely sounding like someone racist that would say "No, I'm not racist, I even have a friend that is black"

 

Ok, I already understand that, I know changing my minecraft skin won't do anything, but I already did and felt I needed to do that.
I made threads and suggestions about rules and racism, feel free to take a look and share your opinion if you wish.
I also replied some threads that people made, so changing my minecraft skin is not the only thing I did.

 

No, I don't think so.
"I've not once seen genuine racism go unpunish on MCC"
Are you playing on the same MCC I am playing?
You can literally say any kind of discrimination and racism on /msfg or party chat and you will be completely fine and unpunish.
Then, you will say: "Oh, but you can just /friend remove the person" yeah, but it won't remove everything they said, and they won't be punished for that. And no, it's not what staff team are on top of. There are some staff members that really fight against this, but most of them just don't care.
How saying Hypixel's IP worst than being racist?
I can call you an "ape" now, and not get punished cause it's not considered a racism insult by the staff team.
The truth is that everyone prefer to close their eyes for these things cause it's easier than fight against these things.
Being racist on 2020 is the new sexy, just don't be that explicit...

 

No, you CAN'T say anything on msgf and not get punished. You can't DDOS/DOX Treats, Leak personal information, say Hypixel IP... this kind of stuff. But being racist is completely fine. Anyways...
Search on Google the origins of the ape insult and whether it's racist or not.
I decided to make the thread and already explained my reasons. If you didn't like/agree, you can just ignore instead of criticizing it.
I didn't mean to make a politics discussion on this thread, just try to make people see beyond the server, the problems it has, and reflect about it.
Also, the Skin on the title, was something to make more people see the thread and give their opinions, not something just to show that I changed my minecraft skin.
