This post is very difficult for me to make but I had to.
The posts below make an important and relevant point that I wholeheartedly agree with.

The jealousy comes from insecurity and scarcity mentality. Men's ability to set aside differences and build coalitions has allowed human society to progress beyond what is normally capable for single individuals or small groups. This is what rich and powerful men do. They are able to set aside petty jealousies and personal differences because they know that by supporting other men and working together they can accrue power, wealth, and influence resulting in more pussy for each member of the coalition than they would have been individually capable of getting.

You can tell how the temperature of the forum has shifted over the years in this very forum.
From what I remember it used to be giving the Chinese guy props and just disputing how hot his girl was... Fast forward now... and dudes having cold sweats at some idea that millions of Chinese men booking one way tickets to EE... Get a grip.
However, today, we have posts like this:

Sad, when someone can't be happy for another man.
Why would any man — especially a childless one — be happy for a man of another tribe?
Is there a global brotherhood now? I had never heard of it...
My first reaction:
So... yes, there is a global brotherhood dude. It is called the Rooshv Forum. The non race trolls here consider ourselves part of the same tribe of MEN. I'm not sure how that changed all of a sudden. We don't see race or ethnicity as an indication of "tribe" in the context of banging women and creating masculine quality relationships, and if it is an issue, help each other overcome it. If you do not want to be part of this group, please turn in your forum membership card and respectfully, leave us. That will be the most beneficial thing you and others that support you can do for the forum at this point. Every day I'm seeing threads or posts that pop up which generally reek of this frustration.
You see, it's funny. I went back and liked every single post that was rooting for this man and happy for him. I noticed something in the "likes" section. I noticed who were starkly missing. There was a time when IRTs were ridiculed for race trolling, and deservedly so. It was absolutely sad. Being Indian myself, I made a huge effort to not only help rid the forum of them but also push hard to vet any Indian guys walking in to the forum to ensure that they were not race trolls. Here is the thing: I hate race trolls in general and the white race trolls (WRTs) have unfortunately been getting a pass. To be absolutely clear, I don't want any of the solid white players here to take this as an attack against them. I respect you all and rather, I am calling out these guys that essentially are a black mark on your well earned reputation. Maybe it's the soy or maybe liberalism. Who knows.
When I found the forum years ago, I hung out with great guys of ALL races that were amazing at game. We had meet ups and exchanged ideas, and often times did lots of day approaches. I made good friends with guys like Dantes who is a white guy, and Lothario, who like me is Indian/Desi. I made friends with Vinman and MDP, both black guys who are awesome in their own respect.
The rise of WRT race trolls today sadly correlate with the increase of any ethnic minority men increasing their lifestyle, game and getting quality women. The trolls tend to be middle aged white guys that are starkly missing from the game sections of the forum and attained false seniority through the ranks of political threads or diversity attack threads. They seem to all be overweight and don't seem to be all there socially. I've tagged them for who they are and recognize enough of them now. Rather than take examples from guys like Dantes, Octavian, H3ltrsk3ltr, Snowplow, Fisto, Samseau etc. etc., other white dudes on the forum that do well or maybe even better than the rest of us, they go on to attack minority forum members or minorities in general. It is so obvious that I couldn't help but call it out.
Once I attained a fair level of expertise in game, I was happy to help anyone that wanted it. I thought that was the forum's spirit and still believe it is. Those that sought me out were often white guys, and pretty much all cool. Same here, most of the guys that I sought out were also white. We went and did approaches together and learned from each other. It was all good and we were moving men forward, posting on the forum about it and spreading the good word. Then, the election happens. Trump gets elected; we are all ecstatic for it because he promotes masculinity. Side effect of this: we get certain (not all) forum members come in to the Trump thread, no one or few meet them or vet them, get a bunch of rep points and they stand up on their keyboard against men that have actually contributed to the positivity of the forum. If enough of us have not noticed this already, this is an attack on the integrity and spirit of the forum itself.
I am demoralized by the whole thing to be honest and I didn't want to write a post about it. However, I thought it needed to be said and realized it may as well be me that says it. I may get flak for this as it is an attack on a group of a certain race that is different from mine. So it wasn't easy for me to do it. However, that said, I respect this space too much to keep my mouth shut, and if I do keep it shut long enough, it will get worse. Maybe me bringing attention to it will save the spirit of the forum.
A reminder to race trolls here of any race: I will find you and be there to call you out no matter where you post on this forum. I know the threads you post in and you are all well known.
A request to the rest of the forum members that still believe in the spirit of the forum: Please join me in getting rid of this cancer before it spreads too far. It is about to become a real problem for the forum.
