You wouldn't accept this from your leaders, you wouldn't accept this from your parents (I hope...), or anyone you looked up to. But we accept it from each other. Makes no sense to me.


Uhhh, because comedic writing is a WHOLE other can of worms? A leaders job is to represent and place a good image on a group of people. A comedian is supposed to make people laugh, this guy isn't running for senate, there's nothing wrong with it.

Hi.

I wrote this.

This wasn't meant to be "racist" or promote racism.

Or do you know suddenly know more about me than I do myself? Turnerbrown, stop talking would you?


Oh, and if the Admin wants to change his stance on the matter, I will gladly edit the story back to it's former glory. Maybe we can just add a "NSFW" tab to the title to make sure people know what they are getting themselves into. Honestly, your decision isn't very popular(and people on other messageboards have begun to bash you over it)... and an odd one coming from someone who claims to enjoy South Park. I mean, thinking about it, I could seriously see Cartman as the protagonist, if he was white.

Black people are responsible for everything that's wrong with the world, and I hope that all the bad things in life happen to them and only to them.

I just find it funny that ppl would respond this way over a story. We pay to have cable/satilite TV so we don't have to deal with some 85 yr old lady deciding what is acceptable. We pay for HBO/SHO so we can get the uncensored version of a movie we like. Yet ppl are getting "Upset" over a few Racial descrptive terms printed on thier screen. You hear worse then that on a 6th grader playground. It is Hypocracy. The largest kind. The worst kind. It damn near resembles the ****'s. This book is bad so we burn it. This book has a descrpitive term we don't like. Burn it. This book has a paragraph talking about sex. Burn it.
Just because you don't like what someone says doesn't give you the right, Constitutional or otherwise, to quell what they are saying. We fought the British for our Independance. We went to war with our own ppl<at the time> in order to have these freedoms.
Politically Correct doesn't mean you have to stick your fingers in your ears and tape your mouth shut. It just means you have to be a bit more sensitive about what you are saying. It doesn't mean we have take offence at every word either.
I'm sure you will pardon me when I say to all those ppl getting upset over descriptive terms, GROW THE HELL UP! There is much worse out in the world then a few words. You can't blame the OP. If you want to blame anyone, blame the African Americans that still behave in that sterotypical fashion. All the OP did was point it out. Don't get mad at them for them for doing so. Be mad at the ppl who continue to foster the sterotype.
That being said lol, I liked the Casino's refrence for Native Americans. Your right!!!! We're getting our reperations 1 nickle at a time!

So...making sure a whole race doesn't get fitted into the stereo type and the source of humor for everyone else is "political correctness"?


Last I checked, 3 people =/= a whole race.

Seriously, you allow people to have avatars of people groping women, or women taking off their clothes or strip teasing. Obviously, this is a community where a good portion of the members are ADULTS. Depite the amount of morons here, I'm sure the majoriy of us are smart enough to realize that 3 people in a fictional story designed to be a comedic read does not reflect on an entire race.

And furthermore, I don't see you, or any other admin on this site, getting their panties in a twist when someone says that all Chinese people are gil sellers, or all gil sellers are Chinese. It's the same thing, but for some reason, THAT'S acceptable.

Your all Racist, sexist, somethingist! I'm suing! I am totally offended.How dare you make a joke about somebody you don't know, from somewhere you have never been.

How dare you exercise your right to pick and choose whats right for you.

Damn you, you "ist"!






ok... i'm done lol.



P.S. this was not intended to make fun of the real "ists" that we have in life, but only all those weak minded people, that always yell "ism" when they think the can get something out of it.

I lived in a neighood, where, if you were white, and you came across "3 african american youngsters".....

you probably would have gotten shot.

Am i a Racist? i don't think so.I don't look at one person, and condemn him for his peoples actions, past or present.

I am smart though.I try to keep up on what the local gangs are doing.You know how it is.. if you wear the wrong color, or if you happen to glance at someone the wrong way ... well ... people get killed that way.

I hate that.I hate that i can't walk around my neighborhood.I hate, that i can't leave my house for 5 minutes w/o locking the door.

What i hate the most is, if that gang is made up of blacks and mexicans,i'm a racist.I HATE people that take away the rights of others.

So what am i?

I hope you've learned your lesson, next time you think of making fun of someone you better make sure they're the same colour as you.

And note, Jerry Seinfeld would be out of a job but someone like Chris Rock/Richard Prior would have flat out called em the n word and gotten cheers from the crowd and 3 additional signings for more stand up comedy acts, then make jokes involving white people and the word cracker multiple times through the sketch and no one lifts an eyebrow. That is what we call double standards.

That's exactly the point I was going to bring up had Denshin not beaten me to it. The argument that ppl like Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby, or Oprah wouldn't get away with something like that because, as was pointed out, for every one person who's career might be ruined for saying something like the OP said, there are 10 more ppl who would see their careers soar.

Here's a question: what if the OP had been quoting the new 50 Cent, Ludacris, or Snoop Dogg song? Would everyone say "ZOMG THAT IZ RACEST!!!" or would everyone say "ZOMG I <3 50 CENT/LUDACRIS/SNOOP DOGG/ETC!!!"

Too bad most of the comments have degenerated into blather about political correctness and all of that. As the poster themselves noted, someone who likes "South Park" or anything of the sort can't fairly criticize their humor. Besides, racism will not end until we can look at people of different colors and see them as just "people". Using an indication of their origins shouldn't matter.

If most of these people ever stepped into a real comedy hall, their minds would be blown, and when they tried to speak up about the things being said, they'd quickly be tossed out.
