OT Play by play guy suspended for "racist language"

[Mediocre Man]

You don't get it. You're redeeming grace is that you don't realize the harm those remarks do to a Black person.
Also, according to Jeff Foxworthy, you must be a redneck.

Great

 

[dviss1]

No shit it's not. When the hell did I say that?

When you say all white people don't call us monkeys that's you not getting it.

I never said that so why get defensive?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Funny how the people who experience racism the least claim they know all about it and can define it.

Stop...

I don't know all about it. Guess what, NEITHER DO YOU. Also, you don't know a thing about me. I've had foster children who have dealt with racism. I grew up in north Portland when there weren't many white families. I was singled out and beat up as a young boy because of my skin color. I know this because I was told this.

He knows the ass end of racism. I too have not experienced racism but I've experienced bullys and that's what racists are.
You are obviously not a conscious racist but please be aware of the damage done by thoughtless language.

A white man raising black children in Texas has most likely experienced some form of racism.

You speak in generalities. You mean that theres racist white people that call yall monkeys and they're the only race that does so (or does it the most?), but you speak in generalities. If you dont understand what I mean by that than theres nothing more I can say to help you.

Nah, it's impossible for a white person to see racism, or feel the affects from it. Therefore they know nothing.

Yes, this is exactly what this forum needs. More posters calling other people racists and then more posters getting banned because they get upset over it.

Now that was dumb. I'll assume you didn't mean it, hence the green type.

Could you be beginning to see the light? Nah, I doubt it.

The only people out in the open calling black people monkeys are white.

Saying this DOES NOT mean all white people are saying it.

Get this... Jesus...

I know everything there is to now about racism. And yes you may know about it but how and why?

Because you're around people of color.

What about the white people that aren't?

We're still a VERY segregated country. So while you've surely experienced some (even though every time I go to Houston I marvel at the diversity and the last time never experienced an iota). But most in here more than likely have never experienced it.

Bottom line:

People need to stop referring to black people as monkeys.

It's like we have to pull y'all along kicking and screaming for you to get it.

WTF are you talking about?

This stupid ass thread is a worthless attempt to whine and cry about something fucking obvious. More white people butthurt about not getting to have domain over something.

Hey @Mediocre Man, ever hear of a white guy getting referred to as King Kong?

Riiiiiight.....

 

[dviss1]

Fair enough.

 

[dviss1]

Nah, it's impossible for a white person to see racism, or feel the affects from it. Therefore they know nothing.

You only feel the effects of racism by having people of color that are genuine friends.

Racism has affected you? How?

For being black I've:

Been pulled over by cops. Many times.
Had cops point firearms at me while being unarmed.
Had my 4th amendment right trampled for "fitting the description"
Been denied housing

There's so much more...

Note of that had ever happened to you for being white.

BOTTOM LINE:

MFs need to STOP CALLING US MONKEYS AND APES!!!

And stop wearing blackface while you're at it.

What about referring to a dominant inside presence as a beast. Is that ok?

King Kong Bundy

Because he was a beast in the ring, just like that kid was on the glass

It's certainly better than equating a man with a big monkey.

Not exactly a demeaning expression for a White man.

Dviss asked if any white person was called King Kong. I just answered him is all

 

[Mediocre Man]

So King Kong is not a beast?

 

[e_blazer]

It's certainly better than equating a man with a big monkey.

King Kong was an ape, not a frickin' monkey, and, if he were real, he would deeply resent the disparaging comparison.

Lol. He called HIMSELF that. You have that privilege.

Funny how you don't get that.

That's exactly what we say:

"Nurk was BEASTIN those MFs tonight!"

No. His manager and agent gave him the name. I watched his bio

Im not saying I have.

MFs is more like it, because anyone who's racist is a MFer.

I see both sides of yall argument. Calling MM racist is ridiculous. MFers need to stop slapping the racist tag on someone just for different views on the intent of someone else's words.

 

[BonesJones]

I know that's not what you mean bro. How many more times do I have to say that? Im saying that your phrasing is that of a generality, and I believe youd view that type of phrasing as a generality if it was in regards to something else.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Stupidest post ever on this board.

I posted a video of Calabro referring to Nurk and Adams as King Kong vs Godzilla. As a fucking compliment clearly.

Just like how we don't get to tell YOU what can offend you, YOU don't get to tell us what things you get mad about that make us think you're being a baby.

Being a hyper sensitive group of fascists only works with the dying majority of whites. From my years and years of daily interactions with hispanics things are going to get worse for you in the future.

Unless their kids are being changed by the schools. I hope so because yikes they don't fuck around.

Some white people get it. It's obvious you don't.
