It's really very easy for a white male gentile to say no racism, no anti-Semitism. The view from the other side is often very different.
Everyones got their own perspective and there is usually validity in all of them. IMO thats why I like to listen to minorities and people different than me on their experiences and learn from them. It doesnt mean we will always agree on certain subjects, but I wouldnt invalidate someones thoughts and feelings because of their race, gender, or whatever. I totally understand that being a white male, I have had different (and probably better), experiences than many others. So getting the other perspectives and respecting them and trying to at least logically get an understanding of them helps me to treat people better.
You obviously weren't above the age of five in the 50s. I'm not saying that all the adults were like that. My school teachers and my priest, Bishop Dagwell and my Boy Scout scout master, Peter Blythe were not like that. But most of the kids at Forest Hills grade school were like that and hey had to have gotten it from somewhere. I'm guessing they got it from some twisted parents. There were zero minorities at Forest Hills grade school the seven years that I went there unless you want to count Paul Schmidt (German) and Ramona Scuito (Italian) as minorities. I pedaled newspapers all over downtown and I never saw an Asian or a Black.
I understand that his joke no matter the intent, or context was offensive. Thats why it was taken out / edited. Im not sure you can prove that you or other “conservatives” would be banned for posting what he posted. It seems to me you have something against Lanny, and I think if thats the case it should either be something you handle in private or decide to not handle it at all. Its been talked about enough in this thread, what you seem to want doesnt appear to be happening, but thats something you can handle through PM’s with SPD or something.
By the way, does this mean I get to say fuckit, let's all be racist and anti-semitic? I swear to God I would pray to be tortured and be Lorena Bobbited if I ever understood anti-semitism. I literally could never figure out what exactly the point was.
Posting the N word with ardly at the end was worth a ban but not Lanny making gas chamber jokes and using slurs against Asians....defend it if you can.
Why would you want to? Well, I guess people get mad about something in their life and need a scapegoat, so they lash out at some group they perceive as 'other'. barfo
Why would I want to? I being a white male gentile (I think it was) am now wrong for calling out gas chamber jokes. The opposite of that would be what? Hey, do you recall any posts here hoping Obama got hit by a bus? I'm sure that is possible but I honestly don't recall seeing one.
Every child protection organization and advocate in the country called her out for child abuse, including FLOTUS TRUMP. Widely reported when it happened. I posted an article. Ask Sly as it seems he is the only mod who follows the daily news.
Last time was a couple weeks ago. Not interested in rereading posts for you. Not interested whether or not you believe me.
I'm not sure what the opposite of that would be. What does it matter? I don't remember it either, but I'm not likely to recall something stupid that someone posted years ago unless I was the someone. Can't see how it matters much whether anyone did or didn't post that specific thing. There have surely been plenty of poorly conceived posts over the years. barfo
Yeah, there's 2 or 3 posters here who, when confronted about a statement they made and asked to provide proof, they either refuse to do so, or no proof exists...not a very convincing argument.
They also provide answers/proof to things that are totally unrelated what the discussion was about. A certain baseball player themed character is excellent at that.
