Thats one of the points and I don't think many people here know where I'm getting at. Especially when they say things like "Its White and it's a house"

About what? I don't know about here, but off of this board and in the real world some people have an issue with it. and it has been like that for some time now.

Can they explain one valid reason why it being the colour white is a problem?

Some think it shows favoritism toward the type of people they want to occuply it, and it was built by slaves. Giving the content of the replies here ..I'm starting to think if the name was change their would be a lot of angry people. I wonder why? Users are saying it's just a color and name but if they change it i think all hell will break loose. lol

[QUOTE="-PaCMaN-"]Well I be damned. You sound like you have a personal issue with this, either that or you are still too young to express yourself without appearing to be throwing a tantrum. Are you telling me that if the name and color was changed you would be upset? I don't see a problem with it. CIC HQ or The Supreme palace or anything relevent will be a much better fit then just the White House. Why should other Americans stfu if they are intitled to an opinion and want the name change. Personally I want what ever efforts taken to make this country fair to all it's inhabitants, it is the only way America can blossom. This shouldn't be a big deal and if it is.. then perhaps something deep down inside yourself needs to change first.

Calm down, perhaps you need to take your meds? Ranting on a board about someone elses opinions makes you look insecure. I'm well aware of whats going on in life and this topic has a right to be on this board just like any other. If some want the name change for whatever reason it may be then it's their right to that opinion. You can cry about someone else's opinion but it doen't make you right, it just makes you look like a whiner who haves deep issues about others.

Maybe some find it offensive because it was mostly built by enslaved and free African-Americans. Just read that on Wikipedia.

I haven't heard that, but even then, it's irrelevant. The White House recieved it's name after it was painted white to cover up the burns it recieved when it was attacked in the War of 1812.

This is true but it is a different time. Or is it?

This weekend a few guys were saying they should change the name to something more appropriate like the presidential house or CIC palace. They were saying the name appears as an biased symbol to the American population and the building looks like a plantation. vlin1108

It's a house. And it's white.

Clever name? No. Effective name? Yes. Racist name? Hells to the no.

My house is painted white too but i can come up with a better name then that. During the times it was giving that name there were ethnic issues in the country.( We all know this ) Now that it is 2008 the name comes off as offensive to many Americans then some white people care to admit. I notice this and don't have a problem with them changing the name or color. Metallic or grey would look more modern.

I couldn't say but when ever I come here users are always arguing. I'm assuming there are a bunch of kids here or angry people who lock themselves away from society. Just so they can feel safe giving their opinions harshly within the comforts of their homes.

Or we're individuals who enjoy intelligent debates about current issues. :|

I thought that at first too until i started to read the content in most of the topics. Users here seem a bit miserable and try to make others feel the same way. Sure they debate here but when you try to pass your own opinions off as law and get heated when others don't feel the same way you do... it starts to gets real immature here. Then i relise that I'm on a game site so what do I expect.

About 5 hours a week. If there's decent conversation I'll hang around longer.
