But we are called “paranoid” if we point this out at all, or that this happens in society still.

I admit, some comments got out of hand, but honestly (IMO at least) ProX and BigBoss could start a thread called “I hate White Males aged 25 who live in Little Rock AR” and I really wouldn’t get pissed off. I would debate, but I wouldn’t give a shit really.
Edit: By debate I meant talk shit, I have never provided anything worthwhile to a thread!

That, my compadre, is because as a 25 year old white male, you’ve never faced racism as a black male does.
When someone tails your ass in a store, or gets drunk at a party and the first word that comes out of their mouth when they’re pissed at you is “nigger”, or says on TV that the only way to stop a certain golfer would be “to take him out back and lynch him”, well, then you can talk about it.
Until then, have fun cow tippin’ hillbilly.[/quote]
That’s a valid arguement! I was getting at the fact that it was over the internet. You make a good case and I agree with it. BUT. I personally don’t think anyone with common sense would get pissed at something some dumbass types on the internet. You can come cow tippin’ with me if you want, we gonna go frog giggin first tho!

Why wouldn’t you?
I’m not telling you something stupid, like your mother’s a whore or how I fucked your girlfriend. We’re talking about race, something that everyone in the world has some kind of opinion on.
To be honest, I think the internet just gives people’s racism a more conveniant way to come out, because you can do so with inpunity. The worst that can happen is you’ll get banned from the site, and even that takes a lot. (Headhunter is proof of that.)
None of you would have made those jokes if X had been standing in front of you. None of you.[/quote]
I’m just saying people have better shit to do with their time (or should have better shit to do) than get pissy about some dumbass being racist on the internet. I’m not talking about being passed over for a job because you’re black. We are talking about a internet forum, if you get pissed off on here, you have no hope in the real world.
Good luck with your Racial Renegade. You act like no black person has ever made a racial remark. I agree with you that racism is alive and well, but damn if you get shitty about something that someone who has no involvement with your life says, then it’s gonna be a long hard road to hoe.
FYI: I never said anything offense, I was good natured about this. I do realize some have said harsh comments, but I highly doubt any of our black members are gonna lose sleep about it.
is this what small guise do when they’re not in the gym…or better yet when they should be in the gym.

Cut it out!
Nobody got “pissy” here. People just pointed out that this thread was an outlet for racists to lash on other races. It’s a sad state of affairs that in 2008 things are still this way, and that’s the only sentiment expressed here.
Oh I agree, some comments were racist and stupid. But what the fuck is getting pissed gonna do? Why let some dumbass remark rain on your parade?

Are you honestly that clueless? Does this really need an explanation?
It was a fucking parody thread. Good fucking grief. Wage your war against someone else. I’m not a fucking racist and I don’t give a shit.
ProX: I guess I am that fucking clueless.

No one said you were racist. We said that this thread was DRASTICALLY different than the exact same one for “white people” and that the sentiments here are a representation of what is faced in society.
The point is, while I doubt any of us are truly taking offense to some dumbasses on THIS thread, the premise is still a huge declaration of what we still have to deal with daily…something we are constantly told we are “paranoid” or “militant” for ever acknowledging or discussing in public.

Nobody accused you of being a racist. You made racist comments but most everyone knows you’re breaking balls. That’s not something I’ll say about some of the other posters here.
Clearly, some took this as an opportunity to blurt out their hatred and it shows. It’s evident. If you don’t want to denounce their behavior then at least do us the favor of staying out of it. You may not think it is serious but consider that others do given the past (and ongoing) oppression of black people.
Even EE realized that he created a golem here. And trust me, you’re nowhere near EE’s league when it comes to speaking one’s mind. Between brain and mouth, he’s got nothing.

Hey thanks Lixy
Well at least some proper discussion was eventually to be had, and I had learnt a lot from it at least, so not all is lost.

It’s not like you guys are saying something that is bullshit, like how someone’s mother is a whore or how you fucked their girlfriend. You’re talking about race, the thing that every motherfucker in the world has an opnion about.
If anything, the Internet makes it easier to be racist, because all of you can say your blatantly racist jokes with impunity. What’s the worst that can happen? You’ll get banned? Even that takes a lot… Headhunter is proof of that.
However, none of you would have made any of those jokes if X was standing right in front of you. None of you.[/quote]
Since I am not racist, I would not say racist things to him. I would say that he goes too far in attacking and searching for hidden meaning in every innocent word a person says — aka “Sir, you are being paranoid.” If he attacked me for saying that, he would prove that he WAS truly insane. And, he better be armed, because I usually am. Muscles don’t stop bullets.

See? You can’t discuss things with paranoids. They will take EVERY word you type and run with it. Soon, you’re equivalent to some ‘good ol’ boys’ out hunting, with a bottle in one hand and a noose in the other.
They are the Thought Police of T-Nation (which is the reason for my avatar).

I think the problem is that 90% of the people posting on this thread have about 0 association with black people and thus they can only picture them as ghetto bastards or southern sharecroppers.
If the list was:
Stuff Black People Like:
Shape-ups
Hawaiian Punch
Bape
Songs that use a vocoder
Family reunions
Then it would’ve been stereotypical while being fairly humorous and not racist… much like the “Stuff White People Like” thread. If that thread would’ve painted me as mullet-having, meth-addicted redneck who had sex with his sister (which is basically the equivalent of some of the stuff said on here), then I wouldn’t have really been upset (because it’s just an internet forum), but I would’ve thought the people that made it were dumbasses- much most of the people who posted on this thread.

Proof? Logic? Reason? Or just your statements…
Please prove that I am a racist. I await your massive intellect weighing in here with bated
breath.
