Yep, if you say “spook” when talking about or to certain people in the Intelligence community you are just calling them by an unofficial title that is entirely appropriate, but if you walk up to a black person and call them that same thing, then you better be prepared to get hit. Context does matter.

I was in prison during the OJ trial, and I can say with no reservations that I (and every other white inmate) was viscerally relieved when they announced the verdict. There was HUGE racial tension during that trial and if he were to have been convicted, it was made very clear by a majority of the black inmates that the rest of us (“us” meaning white inmates) were going to pay a price. Even though we were on the EAST COAST and had nothing whatsoever to do with the OJ affair or the judicial system in California in any way shape or form.
Does me pointing out THIS particular form of racism make me a racist? (I chose not to write “reverse racism” because racism itself doesn’t automatically mean black and white)
Do they get a “pass” because they are a minority and have historically been discriminated against? Or is it just as bad as if a bunch of white dudes HYPOTHETICALLY said, “If he’s found innocent, let’s go lynch us an African American”?
Thoughts?

Somewhere in time between the New Deal and the present day, Liberals have fooled the American public that SOMEWHERE in the Constitution it is written that, “you have the right not to be offended”.
They are all about “free speech”, until someone says something “insensitive”. It’s fucking bullshit.
If they are offended, they have the right to change the fucking channel. [/quote]
Free speech works both ways. If you want to say something edgy go ahead, but don’t be a pussy when someone calls you an asshole.
Nothing worse than whining free speech about someone else exercising their free speech lol

It’s despicable they kicked that girl out over this. The joke was a little lacking in taste but it was far from racist. Some people just look for a reason to start crying “that’s racist”. The people who made the decision to boot her are idiots with way too much power. They are way worse than she is.[/quote]
She’s representing her country in games where many different countries are also represented. She would have been living with and competing against people of all different races and nationalities. It’s not only disrespectful to the fellow competitors but also irresponsible for her to make racists tweets and, in this case…the ‘‘thought police’’ was very much warranted. She should’ve kept her feelings to herself or at the very least, protected her tweets because Big Brother is always watching.
Yeah, we all have the freedom to say whatever the fuck we feel, but it doesn’t negate the consequences. If the company you work for doesn’t want you using racially offensive language then don’t be surprised if they sack you. The right to say something doesn’t mean you’re absolved from any consequence. They’re not taking away her human rights. It’s a privilege to represent your country in the Olympic games. Words have consequences.
And her ‘‘joke’’ wasn’t even fucking funny. Africans are bringing West Nile mosquitoes with them to Greece? It’s a big sign that your country is in the fucking shitter economically when you start taking cheap shots at the immigrants.
Racism should not be tolerated from people taking part in an event meant to bring races and countries together.
Time for the fucking bitch to grease a seat and watch the games from home.
[/quote]
This too.
and…
[quote]That bitch posted far right comments even before the mosquito ‘‘joke’’. She’s a big supporter of a Neo Nazi party. And of course, she didn’t have to WRITE the virus (I’m sure you’re aware of the recent outbreaks of Virus Nile in Greece) was brought to her country by Africans. She just had to insinuate it. Also, it’s as if she insinuating that only Africans should get the Virus. Sickening.

Why is this not surprising at all?

Racist or not, the Olympic games are no place to be “cutting edge” or inappropriate or political or what ever the hell you want to lable what she said as. There is no First Amendment for the Olympics, and there shouldn’t be.
I have no problem with the OC trying to keep the games held to the highest standard. Shit they should kick out more people.
Don’t like being held to the highest standard they can set on and off the court/track/beach/slope/pool/whatever? Don’t go for Gold then. [/quote]

LOL Unfortunately they will only apply their lofty standards to the kids or the athletes who are barely older than kids and let the dirty old men who trade medal votes go scott free. If anyone doesn’t know what I’m talking about, I’ll fill you in; it’s common practice for judges from one country to score an athlete higher, and into the medals, so their athlete will receive the same favor in return in another sport.
[/quote]
Oh… Well, I did not know that, but am not surprised.
Fuck those assholes then too. Ban the bastards. Only Eskimos should be allowed to be judges. No one hates eskimos right?[/quote]
No one hates them? I just assumed that everybody hates them, and thats why they’ve been relegated to the north pole.

Apparently enough people hate them to give them their own hate speech.

There is of course another question.
If noone hates you, do you really matter?
