I didn’t get banned.

Cippy91 did.

Oh! Congratulations on the good fortune! It would not help either, so good to see you still here?
By the way, you were pissed at me not too long ago. What was that about, I can't remember? Not that I won't do it again, but I might not, if I need not, and can remember.

Please do. Ive read a bit more. I dont think i want anything to do aith his tread. Im already missunderstood by some. This could toss icing on the cake if i get too involved. Lol
Ill just grab some popcorn and hope that everyone else comes out alive.

Take your advice and run, brother!

You've been wanting to ask me this for a bit I'm sure. I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to know I'll give a genuine answer. I find myself having these conversations often with white acquaintances that are curious about racial issues. For some reason they feel comfortable talking about this with me. I never really have to have them with my white friends and family because they already understand their privilege whether y'all believe it exists or not.

I've never condoned whiteface (I was like holy SHIT Dave!!! I couldn't believe he did it). I'll admit I laughed my ass off at Dave and Eddie playing those characters. I don't think they were being racist by playing them either. The Jewish character in Coming To America was genius. Dave's humor is comedic genius as well. He just has that ability to just skirt the line.

While I'll agree it's (whiteface/blackface) funny (from both sides (black jokes are funny to some people but they're still racist). We hate blackface not only because it's only used to ridicule and further separate us, but it was used in place of what could've been a black actor.

Just like I don't use the term "white boy". Because the day my 41 year old ass is called "boy" is the day you'll see a racist eloquently put in their place.

Julianne got flak because she was ignorant of the fact that wading into those waters (whiteface/blackface) is kinda treacherous. I don't think she was being racist at all. Just HELLA naive.

Now those fucking blackface Halloween parties are racist AF tho...

So we agree. mocking a black person in black face is stupid and wrong.

I think @dviss1 was a bit offended by Dave wearing white makeup if I remember correctly. Didn't bother me one bit.

About how I remembered it. Solid post @dviss1

Ah! Well I have my experience with that fucking people up. But I am on the losing side and my reasons do not seem to mean jack shit. So not to worry.

Yeah my dad was a drunk before he started smoking meth. He crashed his truck, drunk as fuck and almost killed himself; so I don’t care to split hairs when it comes to peoples vices.

Also, legal marijuana is great for the American economy.

Also also, fuck those Mexican cartels.

Maybe ol Chuck Schumer should throw out a number of whiteys he wants to allow??

http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/28/schumer-will-vote-no-on-judicial-nominee-because-he-is-white/

Chuckie is such a moron.

Here he says that the white guy is so efficient and hard working that he is replacing TWO black guys, and still Schumer votes against him.

“The nomination of Marvin Quattlebaum speaks to the overall lack of diversity in President Trump’s selections for the federal judiciary,” Schumer complained. “Quattlebaum replaces not one, but two scuttled Obama nominees who were African American.”

Here’s the thing. I’m white and have never been held back doing anything at all at any time in my entire lifetime by anyone..

That's absolutely amazing!

Never in my life have I met, or even heard of, anyone who has faced no obstacles at all in life.

What an incredible anomaly.

If that were true, I'd expect that person to achieve many great, history-making things.

Like, you should be King of the OT board or something.

Wise up. It has nothing at all to do with your complexion.

Maybe more indicative of your ambitions or lack of them.

This kinda hurt my feelings until I realized that growing up broke with no father in my life could have contributed to my extreme childhood laziness.

 

[H.C.]

Isn't intent the main driving point behind insults? How else do slurs come to be? You take something that is totally harmless and make it into something hurtful. I mean.... Dan Issel was fired because he called someone a "Mexican piece of shit." When did calling someone a nationality become a slur? But it was, and it was all because of how he said it. Or you could be like New York and just take a slur and make it your baseball team name.

Not really.
Someone can not know any better. Due to not being exposed to it.
However the last two people on this forum who've been banned due to racial slurs rightfully deserved it.

Also, I'm going to point out that none of you are real people to me. You're an online persona with opinions and beliefs. I don't know anything about you personally, and I don't really want to know anything. I don't care what race you are, or what age, or sex, or anything. I just want to debate topics and opinions. That, to me, is the whole point of a forum. If I wanted friends or relationships I would do it in person. I already have to be careful of what I say and to whom in the real world. Hell, I have to be careful what I say on facebook. I don't have to be careful what I say on here. The shroud of anonymity allows me to have the conversations that I want and the opinions that I want without fear of reprisal, so if I go after your opinion it's because that's why I'm here. I love to debate. I love to trade facts. I don't hold grudges. That's why I usually only attack posts, not posters. If I think your opinion is wrong, I'm going to dispute it. Plain and simple. I don't care if it hurts your feelings. Maybe I'm an asshole, but that's why I'm here..... so I can be an asshole.

Generally there is a big difference in the way you talk and the way cippy did.
You take the time to form sentences, and not just spout off whatever you feel like.
Usually, as long as I'm not forced to repeat myself over and over. I have no issues with how you talk and wouldn't consider you an asshole.

 

[MARIS61]

I know racism well. even @Nate agreed that the KFC joke was racist. He also admitted he laughed at it. But here we are going rounds trying to determine why he said edumacate.

HE FUCKING KNOWS WHY HE SAID IT.

I don't know what he said, cause Dog The Insult Hunter deleted it, but I agree he probably knows why he said it.

I seriously doubt that you know why he said it because you don't know him, you don't know what his life experiences have entailed, you don't know what physical, mental, societal obstacles he has to deal with everyday.

And you show no desire to know him, because he's "white" to you.

Hard to know when the alleged slurs went the way of Hillary's hard drive.

I must have missed something. Cippy got banned for personal insults as far as I am aware. The insults were in the form of calling Dviss a racist. Repeatedly. I am not aware of a racial slur being used.

 

[dviss1]

He's not saying all white people are racist. He is saying simply white people can't understand racism on the same level as a group of people who have suffered so greatly at the hands of it.

Thank you bro.

This is that realness.

 

[dviss1]

I swear that Big D is sitting back, 40 in hand and his bong on the table, posting shit just to stir the pot. Not always, mind you. but just enough too laugh at us.

Don't ever accuse me of trolling. I speak the truth as I know it everywhere I go. And I don't drink malt liquor.

I like bourbon.

Is it that hard for you? Really?

Now I've graduated (flunked?) to drinking 40s.....

 

[dviss1]

But it's important, because I want to know if it's isolated to one person being offended by a word for their own personal reasons, or if it really is a widely regarded word with racist undertones.

Wanna test that theory?

Go downtown and ask every black person you see how edumacated they are.

Go ahead. I'll wait.

One rule: Post pics afterward.

 

[dviss1]

I'll start a conversation. Usually something along the lines of "Help me understand"--not for the purpose of trying to defend my position, but simply for the goal of knowing where the other is coming from. Once I have a handle on that, then I'll probably respond with something to the effect of, "This is what I'm hearing, and I think I get where you're coming from. In contrast, how I see it is..." The goal being for both of us to understand the other, even if we end up disagreeing in the end.

I had a conversation identical to that just yesterday.

Hey!!!!! This is how it's DONE!!

This, should, be, on, wash, rinse, repeat.

This is why you're my 2nd favorite poster!!!

(still a lil' partial to BNM lol)

 

[riverman]

if it comes from a black guy, he takes it as gospel.

I take it as a sign of respect...same with Native americans, Hawaiians, etc.....gospel...nah...just aloha

What the fuck do you know about me? Not a thing. No - I haven’t never been held back in life because I am white. Not once. If that point went over your head, that’s on you. I thought it was fairly easy to understand what I was implying. But perhaps I need to break it down for guys like you in even more basic terms. Try to follow along. Take it slowly.

That is all I saw him do.

Not an insult, according to dviss1.

If Cippy doesn't speak out against racism when he sees it, we are all lost.

Exactly what dviss1 has done to me and others, and still thinks he is entitled to do because of Black Privilege or some BS.

So... you have been held back?
