\"Chess<\/a>Not only is chess racist, it is also sexist and patriarchal. The fact that the Queen is the most powerful piece on the board proves nothing to the contrary. The powers allowed to the Queen are in truth nothing more than so many sops thrown to the feminists to keep them quiet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sexism and patriarchalism of chess is proven by the dignity afforded to the King. <\/span><\/p>\n

Wherein resides the dignity of the King?  At every time in every possible game, the King is on the board. He cannot be captured: he never leaves the board while the game is on.  He may be checked and checkmated; he is never captured. His royal consort<\/a>, however, must submit to sacrifice, and is sacrificed gladly in the most beautiful of games. She has no dignity unto herself; she is but a means, nothing more than an overgrown pawn, and in some cases an ambitious upstart who has clawed her way to the eighth rank with the determination of a Hillary. She must die, when called upon, for the glory of His Majesty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another proof that chess is racist and oppressive and ought to be banned is that blacks are woefully under-represented among its players. This evil can have only one explanation: racist suppression of black players<\/em>. For everyone knows that blacks as a group are the equals of whites as a group in respect of intelligence, interest in chess, and the sorts of virtues needed to play the undemocratic and reactionary 'Royal Game.' Among these are the ability to study hard, defer gratification, and keep calm in trying situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

For these and many other reasons, we must DEMAND that chess be banned.<\/span><\/p>\n

We must manifest solidarity with our oppressed Taliban brothers who have maintained, truly, that chess is an evil game of chance.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is therefore most heartening to read that chess has been banned<\/a> in some places in America. May this trend continue as we march forward, ever stronger, together to the land of social justice where there are no winners and no losers.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
