I would first like to apologize for some of the words and terms I used in my failed humorous attempt to explain how he was shot. It was not my intention to offended anyone. I have deleted the post but I would like to clarify a few things.

I was intentionally trying to be over the top. I wasn't trying to be racist.

I used terms like Humpty Dumpty for sex. I don't recall anyone white or black ever using that as a euphemism for sex. And I especially don't think Mr Jones had.

Baby Mama, I swear to god I didn't know this was a black thing. I've heard this multiple times, I think... I think the first time I actually heard it was a Beastie Boys song.

Who dat, this was intentional. He played for the Pelicans, Louisiana is the Who Dat state. I only know this because I have relatives in Louisiana. Not a black thing. Maybe he said it, maybe he didn't. If I had to guess I would say he did.

I was not in anyway stating that he deserved to be shot because of his grammar.

Again, I was only in a humorous way attempting to show that he got shot out of a series of tragic mistakes and not because of drugs or some of the other reasons given.

I'm sorry, I can understand why some of you would think that what I posted was racist, that's why I have deleted my post.

It simply was not funny to me at all and very insensitive. I don't believe you to be a racist. That post tho? Pure evil. :evilfire:

PS....... That said, stereo types don't just make themselves up.

They are however perpetuated by the ignorant thought that all the members of a certain demographic behave in the same way. We all perpetuate this ignorance. Instead of assuming based upon what media shows us, (they are responsible for colorism) meet some people, accept who the fuck they are, then live and let live. It's pretty fucking easy.

It's very easy.
 
Some stereotypes really do make themselves up. When Reagan talked about big bucks getting food stamps and welfare queens, does anyone doubt what color they were? Even though Caucasians were more likely to get federal benefits?

Side note, when I was in high school there were kids who made fun of me for having a big nose. I don't have a big nose. I have a very ordinary nose. But since everyone knows Jews have big noses they did not need to use their eyes. They KNEW I had a big nose without looking.

(Actually Mediterranean people tend to have prominent noses. Many Jews trace ancestry to the Mediterranean. So do Spaniards, Arabs, Persians, Turks, Italians, and many others. It was a major crossroad so you see Mediterranean features all over the world.)

It's too easy to excuse bigotry by saying "we all perpetuate this ignorance". No one is exempt from the prejudices of our society, but some people consciously and deliberately perpetuate and promote bigotry. Others follow. Some actively fight it. You just can't draw an equal sign between all behaviors.

Did any post in this thread imply that all the members of a certain demographic behave in the same way?
 
Speaking of stereotyping:

A young woman with a baby son was killed a week before her high school graduation and the school decided to let the child accept his mother's diploma. A person who did not know any of the people involved took it on herself to slut shame the deceased mother, the father, the baby, the school and the entire community, based on no knowledge and stereotypes. The principal wrote an epic takedown. Worth reading in light of discussion here.

Speaking of not stereotyping anyone other than to point out how stupid all of our colors can be.......

Ignorance at it's finest. Meet some gay people, (you don't have a cousin or something?) and have conversation with them. Just like I fucking HATE watermelon, all gays don't talk like that..

I can't believe you posted this load of crap. You know who taught us their version of English right? The same idiots who couldn't pronounce the word negro...

This post is wrought with unmitigated crapola.

For the record, my mother, who regularly says warshington, and "fisten to", used to thump me in the head if I didn't pronounce my ERS and INGs. I must run in the best black circles because most of the people I associate with do the same.

But I guess broken English from Southern Whites is ok? :dunno:

Here down south we put salt on it to get that salty sweet. Im not fully sold on the tradition yet though, most of the time i just eat the fuck out of it as is. My fat ass doesnt need extra salt. It could still be a stereo type though. My black friends theorize im atleast 1/4th black cause i turn down the stereo when i back up a trailer. So i got that, and watermelon, why couldnt i get the big dick?

I actually thought about cutting the top off like a pumpkin, gut a portion out and turn it into a bowl, filling it with some other fruits and some everclear, let it soak in the fridge over night.

Huh? We were talking about stereotypes. He said "they don't make themselves up". My response was answering that.
