Doesn't sound like any of us took it that way. You just searching for ways to be offended?
I don't think there's any other implication when you call an African-American a Ben Carson. Unless you somehow mean Jaman is a neurosurgeon or a Republican.
There's nothing wrong with Ben Carson, but Nepeeme is using it as a way to call Jaman something very offensive without actually saying it, which he should be banned for.
So we should ban someone for something he intended to say?

You're on the right track but still haven't connected the dots. Ben Carson is an African-American Republican who served under the Trump Administration. Many would call that an Uncle Tom (aka a black man considered to be excessively obedient or servile to white people, a traitor to his people). Nepeeme used the phrase "a Ben Carson" in place of "an Uncle Tom."
So we should ban someone for something he intended to say?
Should we not ban people for racist comments? I'm not even one of those insane people who think everything is racist these days. I think that stuff has gone way too far actually. But Nepeeme clearly made a racist comment and continues to stand by it. It shouldn't be tolerated.
Honestly don't think Vegas is somewhere you should be living.
Don't want to make you feel worse than you probably already do tbh so will just wish you luck and wait for your next vlog
I was half way through and thinking man, it's time for him to look for a job. Then he said he applied, I was like alright good good.... then ends with going out and getting drunk and playing table games. Friends staking or not, man oh man.
Punchline, I think you nailed it, Vegas might not be the play right now.
I'd love to be compared to a neurosurgeon who is a good person

Black conservatives are always called UTs by the "non-racist" left. See Ben Carson, Candace Owens, Shelby Steele, Larry Elder, Senator Tim Scott among others
I don’t know what this Nepeeme guy said exactly. I only read that he said JM looked like Ben Carson. I can a bit of resemblance. I always get confused between Arian Foster and Kyrie Irving. And the guy who shot at Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction looks like Jerry Seinfeld. Like I said, I not sure what he said exactly but saying how two people look alike (whether valid or not) equates to racism is lack of common sense.

He didn't say they look alike. Why post something like this which adds absolutely no value to the thread when you could simply take a minute to read what he actually wrote?
These types of arguments are always so stupid, ends up with people virtue signaling what they think someone of another culture should find offensive to get good guy moral points boosting their ego. For all you know Jaman is a black republican and would find the comparison complimentary. Let people be offended on their own merit very strange to be offended on someone else's behalf at a comment you saw a month ago.
Pman calls preflop with Q9o OOP vs a pro, blames 1/2 for being a rake trap, and decides the solution to his problems is to move up to 2/5.
BTW pman is learning the hard way why volume is so important. I'm not even advising heavy volume. Even half-ass lazy poker pro volume would be way better than what pman puts in.

So if someone doesn't mind being called a ******, it's ok for posters to call that person a ****** in this thread? Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
The following video comes from Rampage Poker's non-Rampage channel. It has to do with the behind the scenes of a meet up game in which he has Johnnievibes as a guest.
From the looks of the footage it looks like Rampage pulls in much more people than Owen and Neeme...much more!!!
Was anyone in this forum there? Are all those people there for the Rampage meetup?
Another thing, it turns out Rampage not only outsources his editing, he also outsources his product designs which goes to show that he must be the best poker vlogger out there when it comes to having the intent and the skills of actually being in business.
Yes I am. And I'm sticking to it, so let's not hit the fan.
Among other things, He immediately defended Mike Postle without really knowing him or knowing the facts. But it doesn't mean that his content is not top notch. And that's why I still watch his vlogs. Because nobody is perfect. Not even I.
But he joined the lawsuit against Postle. And the "Be Like Mike" video is top notch for a bunch of good reasons.
Jaman is a good dude. Calling him that makes you not that dude.

You're just very ignorant. This is widely regarded as offensive. I'm not a virtue signaler. I've never voted Democrat in my life. I'm dumbfounded that somehow I have to be the one pointing this out. What Nepeeme said was wrong. This isn't a debate.
Jesus ****ing christ. Enough with the "Ben Carson" talk. Any more and bans will be issued, whoever, whichever side of the argument. Take it to politics.
Nepeeme didn't even say that in this conversation, someone else drug it up from the past.
Pman....wow. He should fire whoever is coaching him. I'm not even convinced he's playing winning poker. So many huge leaks in his strategy. The good news is all this is easily fixable if he finds someone he trusts to give him objective criticism and he listens and improves.

He usually posts in here and his PGC when he puts out a new vlog, but nothing yet. Hope he's not feeling too ashamed or anything like that. You still have fans pman
