It's like Christmas for me. I think I'll start some more anti-feminist threads for some more of that sweet, sweet limelight.

I think what you misunderstand is that when someone makes a racist joke, they're generally poking fun at the stereotype, and not the people. I don't know you, so I have no idea if you fit any of the black stereotypes, or even if you are really black. When Europeans, Canadians and Australians say Americans are all fat and stupid, I don't take offense, because I know that most of them don't really think that. America is a diverse country with all kinds of people, so I know that very few people are dumb enough to believe the stereotypes.

No, this country is filled with people who believe--who further--stereotypes. It affects our society in a remarkably corrosive way.

Some comedians pull race into their routines as a cheap laugh that appeals to the lowest common denominator. That sort of routine is racism dressed up in smiles.

Others pull race into their routines as satire--for social commentary.

You're smart, no doubt. You're not clever enough for satire, though.

Your playing with racist jokes is offensive.

It is satire. If you read my posts, you'll find that I play the part of a xenophobic American.

To be totally honest, I'm not racist. It's just fun to act that way sometimes, like Archie Bunker. I don't dislike anyone because of their race or any other superficial things.

Then you're failing in your efforts; it comes across--at best--as insensitive.

When someone makes a racist joke, they're making a racist joke. End of fucking story.

It is cheap, easy and lazy. There is no nuance, no cleverness, no substance. Much like your hyperactive posting schtick here. The only one needing to laugh at what you consider funny is you.

Stop being a lame disposable cipher and start being a real person. It goes farther.

You talk to BB, you must be racist in the eyes of Lit libs.

you're an apologist.

no surprise there.

The only way we'll ever get past the darkness in our history (that goes for the entire world) is if we all just learn to laugh at ourselves.

Yawn.

you aren't laughing at yourself. you are laughing at other people.

Awww poor baby. Did someone get his invisible knapsack of privilege caught on a nail and ripped open recently, spilling out his entitlement of association excuses on the ground?

That is a part of it for some people. Irezumi has used that for evidence of my racism. Reci isn't like that, though. I don't think girlsmiley is either. In fact, I think she started this thread to kick up shit. I'd be surprised if she was genuinely offended.

GS, if you were really offended, I apologize for that. You're a nice person, and I do genuinely like you. I don't care where you're from.

I laugh at myself and my country all the time! I've made countless fat American jokes.

Just wondering, can you actually post without saying 'libs?'

 

[semen4her]

So blob has been chumming around with bb has he?

I'm sure the two racist imbecile are madly in love.

you've also made racist jokes. they aren't funny, and i don't find them entertaining at all.

That's fair.

What I find distasteful is the double standard; KRC says racist stuff all the time, and no one ever makes threads to bitch at her. I'm just the low-hanging fruit. I don't mind that, but I'd rather everyone just admit to it.

 

[IrezumiKiss]

There we go.

It only took two pages before the "b-b-but they do it, too! w-wh-whuh-why can't I do it if they do it, too!" excuse card was swiped. Credit lines must be running low on the others in his wallet.

So much fun to be young and deliberately ignorant and on the internet!

quit playing victim. this thread is about you, not KRC. it is about the words you place onto this forum. the words that come from your hands.

Care to link KRC saying racist things all the time?

I'm not using that for an excuse. I just want you to go after KRC. But you won't do that, will you? That wouldn't be fashionable.

 

[warrior queen]

To be fair, KRC is more of an elitist....
Anyone who she doesn't like is trailer trash.
She doesn't care what colour they are.
