OT Either stop locking threads or close the OT forum down

Maybe genetics will advance to the point that someday people will get to choose their skin color. Any color of the rainbow, striped, polka dot, whatever. Just tweak a couple of genes and you're good to go. Of course, you also get to pick your lethal weapon of choice at that point too. What the hell would we argue about?

 

most of the people on that list have met each other and hung out together...was called a meet and greet...and we were lumped together with the title "flock of zeros"

 

Well you certainly have shouted that label at me, maybe 700 times.

I even remember the first time, in another forum. A guy was curious about the origin of a word and I happened to know the word came from a dialect spoken in India. Their name for Chinese. So I explained it to the fellow. I believe it was your first post ever directed and me and the first time you called me racist. Sure not the last though.

Well I see you baited a young fellow into trading barb with you. He's gone now I guess. Did you get some real jollies out of that?
Wrong guy in my view.

Tell you what, it seems you are all mouth, driveling through the keyboard.

You can't even answer questions about the racist shit you spew. When did KFC become racist?
I asked earlier in this tread. No answer. I sort of wanted to know if the chicken thing was part of my screw up in 61.
You don't know but, 1st to take offense. Weird!

 

Lotta pc bending over here.

I prefer to call people by their names, and have trouble thinking in terms of large groups being "the same as each other" regardless of whether they are the same race, same party, same religion, or same height.

But if someone insists on making it about a group, I'll use my own terms to describe that group and let the other person use their terms.

Someone inaccurately calling me "white", then demanding I inaccurately call them African-American, does not impress me as either educated or empathic.

Wrong.

Gong.

I know its work. But program it so after one warning, if the individual continues to insult, then they are locked out of that thread.

I agreed that it was more work than worth at the time, but it seems to be a growing issue. I thiNk this is an easy solution.
It doesnt punish all with a broad arm of the law.
It allows the guilty to roam the rest of the site and post in other threads(until they break the law in those too), and it allows the root of the discussion to be continued by those who would like to continue the discussion.

Now make it happen. My work here is done.

 

I will just say this - I have never told someone on here that their opinion didn't matter, let alone that it didn't matter because of the color of their skin...

Everyone should be entitled to an opinion... that doesn't mean that they're right, but they're entitled to sharing a thought. People should be willing to change their opinion, but when someone outright tells you that your opinion is not welcome, nor should you have an opinion in the first place, simply because of something you were born with.... well.... I just think that's a little fucked up. Maybe that's just me. Personally I see a differing opinion as a challenge to debate. I would hope that if I could produce evidence to the contrary, someone would be willing to alter their views. Most people just get pissed off and run away though. Or they call you names. Or they write you off because you're a white guy.

 

I know exactly what i did. Finding fried chicken irresistible is a known stereotype for black people. My whole point was that chuckling at stereotypes is a good way to curb actual racism. It was a joke. Was dave chappelle being racist when he played a blind black white supremacist? If not, why? Because he's black so he's allowed to joke? Or because it was a joke?

What if a black guy powders his face, puts on a goofy comb over, and talks like a square pretending to be white? Cause chappelle did that too and it was fuckung hilarious. But i know you'd be up in arms if a white dude painted their face black and dug into a watermelon.

Why the double standard is my question? Just fucking laugh at the shit and it will have no power over you.

 

There’s a bunch of words strung together with some dots thrown in.

 

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

 

Good lord, you have to ask this?

Dang if I know Nate. But having this shit proceed forever is not right.
I hate to see people banned. It's even worse when the bait cutter and the fisherman who is the same guy, survives.

 

I didn’t get banned.

Cippy91 did.

 

Yeah, I did. Having people talk about it today, made me think back to 1961. Was that issue then too? I sure as hell did not know about then for damn sure.

 

Yes, I figured that out. Took awhile but I finally made it.

Post was direct to Natebishop

 

Good luck finding proof but I'm pretty sure NYU fired some black guys over this recently.

 

This is your one warning. Do it again, and you're kicked out of this thread.

 

Speaking of butthurt. You guys finally WON. Trump is sooooo screwed.

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.

 

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