ROFL

If that worm is supposed to be my penis, then that turtle is God-freaking-zilla.

Wrong. It's a micro turtle.

Well, then I must have encountered that shrinkage machine from "Honey I Shrunk the Kids."

honey you shrunk my penis

Hahaha.

Man, talk about lines that could get you slapped in the face in a millisecond.

We will disagree on this one.

No problem. I'm also not sure "redneck" is a racial slur but we'd have fun talking it out.

So if it's reported and the mods agree that it's a racial slur, then not? So you have to be a minority to be subjected to a racial slur? You don't agree that the knife should cut both ways?

WTF?

It depends on who the poster is. They don't want anything to be too clear in order to keep their options open.

:popcorn:

If someone can actually figure it out, come back here and be a decent member of the community, we are pretty forgiving.


**** no. White people have held all the power, and all of the advantages since this country's inception. No one has ever said we are 2/5 human. Just because you were born in the last 50 years doesn't mean the past didn't happen. And while it may not be as widespread as it was back then, it still exists. And current generations have to deal with the pain of passed generations. It absolutely does not cut both ways. And the fact that people think it does, is one of the big reasons why it still exists today.

I understand your perspective and I agree. But I also want to be consistent. I don't think I've ever banned anybody for slurs against whites but I'd like to think we would consistently apply those rules if required. I'd rather not go there but I do believe that there are minorities who hate white people simply due to the color of their skin and all of it is unfortunate.

Everybody just needs to go buy a copy of Blazing Saddles & chill the **** out

You're right, they do. My perspective is, they actually have a valid reason too. We've ****ed them over for centuries. We're trying to change, but we're not there yet. They've never had the ability to **** us over in the world, so why do we hate them again? That's where I'm coming from, but it's worth talking about IMO. I'm open to see things from the other side. That's why we're such super awesome moderators. :)

Wow :facepalm:

Sorry the blacks have held you down, bro.

One time a black guy robbed my grandfather. I can say the N word whenever I want now, right?

I don't think anyone contests what was in the past was horrible and wrong, but allowing an extreme swing in the opposite direction does nothing but further ill will between the two sides.

One day we might even have a Black POTUS.

nah.

we mean bad white folks made sure that could never happen

ROFL It's not like I'm bagging on white people here. I'm one of them, you know. I'm talking about racism. Drop the strawmen. White people rob people as well, but I guess they don't count.

No, you aren't bagging on White people at all. You are just saying that racism thrown in their direction is perfectly acceptable because of the past.

this.

This is actually a very good point. And one that I will have to gnaw on, because I don't think people should be abused because of the acts of their ancestors. Food for thought. Thanks, Donger.

Thank you for keeping an open mind about stuff (if this isn't a sarcastic statement; I can't tell anymore).

Sarcasm, I presume?

Exactly. I mean how far back to we want to go to hold someone accountable for something they didn't do? 50 years? 100 years? 500? 2000? Is there a cut off?

Without an open mind, we will never grow.

Absolutely not. You presented your perspective in a way I could relate too, understand, and appreciate. Sincerely. That's what I hate about text. There is no tone, and you never really know the intent behind the words.

Okay, but I didn't really say anything different than what you wrote above. You're weird.

Yeah, I remember the day the Yankees came to my plantation and freed my slaves. I was heartbroken.

:spock:

So what qualifies? Redneck? I don't think so, that doesn't even apply to all white people. That's one thing, no one has ever come up with any kind of horrible slang word for white people.

Fair enough. You led the horse to water, and I was willing to drink. I guess I am just thinking it over in my mind and your post led me to the thought of it. So **** you, I'm awesome all by myself. And weird.

First of all, it doesn't bother us so much because we don't have a history of being kept down. Therefore, it's hard to find a superword to zing us. However, we don't appreciate double standards.

Second of all, Houstonwhodat kept saying "ninjas" and he got banned.

Ninjas doesn't apply to all black people.

I kind of view redneck the same way as I do the "N" word. No, they don't apply to every person of the respective race, just the trashy kind. And, what Phobia said earlier certainly applies: context is key. If a Black person uses Cracker/Cracka in a derogatory way, that's inherently racist.

**** you too, Honky. Or is it Honkey?

Shit.

Honky Tonk Man

reported and bant

You have a lot more white skin that most white people too.

Some Asian guy in Chicago who was pissed at me called me a "Redneck Hick Farmer from Kansas" once (I was wearing a Chiefs shirt at the time). I had no doubt whatsoever that it was intended as a racial slur. Absolutely none. And neither did the people who restrained me from beating the shit out of him. Holy crap I never snapped so fast in my life. Racial insult coupled with acusing me of being from Kansas? That ****er's seriously lucky to be alive.

I love it when people who live in small towns or cities that maybe see four of five minorities in an average week try to tell me that there's no reverse racism, or that it doesn't matter. Come to Chicago and tell me that shit.

I thought fat people had the same amount of skin but it's just thinner and all stretched out.

You needed Donger to point that out to you? An open mind is great, but not if it's so open everything fall out. :p

Dude, he was making it a racial slur, and errone knows it. That's ****ing horseshit.

There are an incredible amount of historical inaccuracies within this post.

"White people" have most certainly not held most/all of the power since the country's inception. In fact, the very term "white people"as used today wouldn't have made sense centuries ago given the fact that we view whites in a much more homogenous manner today that in times past. Italians, Irish, etc. held virtually no power until relatively recently...that is to say nothing of the political makeup of the country prior to the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote.

As for the 2/5 part, I assume you're referring to the three fifths compromise. This compromise is completely misunderstood by most people...yourself included.

Treating slaves as only 3/5 of a person was the compromise. Slave owners wanted them treated as a full person. Abolitionists didn't want them counted at all.

Treating slaves as a full person wouldn't have given them new rights. It would have inflated the population of the south giving it more political representation in congress. The slave owners would, in essence, get an extra vote for every slave they owned. That's not really a plus for the slaves.

This doesn't really take away from your larger point, I guess. You should probably understand the history you're citing before basing your arguments on it, though.

Two wrongs do not a right make.

Ain't that the truth.

I grew up in Seattle, and hang out in casinos. So I know. Racism is racism is racism. I changed my mind. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. We should ban anyone talking that shit out of their assholes. Just forgive me if I don't get as worked up over the word redneck, as I do ****er, person of Hispanic heritage, chink, gook, or whatnot. It's a work in progress I guess.

And honestly, this hasn't just happened in the last 30 minutes. I've had this argument time and time again with people, and it's just taken a lot of talking and perspectives to get me to this point.

Douche. I mean, touche!

I'm stunned.... I always thought you were a Mexican luchador.

"Cracker" is the one "derogatory towards Caucasians" word that I have a problem with. And it all has to do with the origin of the word. To my knowledge, that word is derived from the "crack" of the whip on a slave's back. That is most definitely something I don't want to be associated with, let alone referred to as, for I have enough faith in my soul and my ability to be empathetic, that regardless of how I was raised, I wouldn't have been able to force myself to crack a whip on another human being's back.

The simplest way I can explain why "reverse racism" slurs aren't as bad is that people who are in the majority don't wrap themselves in their majority trait.

Really tall people or really short people tend to be more conscious of their height than a guy who is 5'11.

A white person in the US doesn't really think about his own whiteness as much as he would if he moved to Asia.

A guy without a goatee might feel perfectly normal at a cocktail party in 2013, but that same guy might feel like an outsider at a Chiefs Planet get-together or if he went back in time to 1998.

I don't care for the attitude that "we did something to them". "We" didn't include me. I deal with each person as an individual regardless of the color of their skin. Afford me the same courtesy. I love black people and I love black people who like jokes because I have jokes. I spend my saturdays playing ball where I'm a minority and it's some of the most fun I have all week. Good folks come in all different colors.

I know it, and that's the point. Just because "redneck" isn't a bad slur, it could be used and intended as one.

Something else to add, in terms of the slavery aspect: blacks were rounded up and sold as slaves by fellow blacks. Blacks are as guilty of the slave trade as anyone. But it is only whitey that takes the blame.

There are more slaves in the world today than at any time in human history.

It's like the guy that buys a stolen car and doesn't want to give it back.

We're all slaves to the man.

****ing Donger.

That's right. Just make your mark.

You may only have 3150 posts but if there was a "words posted counter" I imagine you would be second behind Claynus.

oic

Hahahaha - since when does historical accuracy mean anything to you? You still don't want to accept anything I post about Hootie even when I pluck cuts and pastes straight out of the mod forum. Pure irony. Historical accuracy is important to you when it fits with your agenda. Otherwise, screw it.

These roast threads are like Million Dollar Baby. Seemed so good at first, but then just turned in a depressing grind.

Heh, I joked something to the tune of...they should put a 0 behind his post count the other day. I like his posts, so it's all good.

We never even reached 50 ROFL

Yea, I am not bitching, man that dude can type out some paragraphs.

Historical inaccuracies matter when you're talking about seminal events in history, yes.

I've never argued that the "mod" conversations you have didn't occur. That's never been the point.

You're pointing to a trial or two and claiming that it means the justice system works. I've simply pointed to the multitude of times that more egregious offenses were overlooked as evidence of your hypocrisy.

If I moderate a board that prohibits facial hair and ban you for having a goatee, I'm perfectly in keeping with the rules. That said, if I let the guys from ZZ Top and Duck Dynasty run around and call other members racial slurs, I'm a hypocrite.

I'm thinking Adderall, maybe even Meth.

Except that I was sad when the boxer chick got greased; Hootie, not so much.

Hootie got nuked again, huh? Who did he piss off/what rule did he break this time?

TexansPlanet traffic will surge by at least six posts this week.

DaFace. No reason.

what abandoned desert island do you live on?

He called Frazod a ninja so Bearcat axed him

Listen, I'm as pissed as you are that I have a life/responsibilities, believe me.

That, and I'm just waaaay too lazy to go look for it.

Reported.

Whatever. You know that you are in the Foot Clan.

But in algebra, two negatives make a positive.....

Man, ****ing DaFace.

Man, ****ing Bearcat.

Deal with it. One type of racism can be explicitly worse than another. One may permeate institutional racism, while the other does not. We aren't just talking hurt feelings here.

No, but they make fun of the way we dance and stuff. That kind of hurts.

man****ingbearcat > manbearpig

I'm bored, so I did another one.

65. Dirk Diggler

The thing that stands out the most about Dirk is that he actually believes he ran a sub 4.2 40 when he was younger. Think about that a second. A grown man thinking that as a pasty faced youth he was faster than Jamaal Charles, Chris Johnson, and Usain Bolt. (frazod did run a 42.0 BTW). Hand timed runs by fat P.E. coaches FTW.

He also moonlights as an amateur porn star starring with corn fed beauties from all over the Mid-West. Unfortunately, the fast times spill over to this venue as well, so he needs a stunt cock to fill in.

Pros: Some people are naive enough to believe him. Got props from Dane.

Cons: Also believes the mailman was "fixing the TV reception" when he caught him leaving the house the other day.

Outlook: His wife convinces him he's 1/8th African American after she gets knocked up.
