| I think they wear v necks and scarves. They might do other things too. |

| I remember once seeing a picture of the dearly departed Adam in a V-neck. It wasn't so much a collar as it was a garbage bag lining he stepped in and out of to appear clothed. |

so you don't think caricatures are funny? granted, they were mean spirited, but at least they weren't dehumanizing for the most part until the last one. that was a classically racist joke made into a picture, not a caricature of an individual. |
I didn't find this joke funny, so I don't have to assuage any guilt with bull convoluted escape clauses. I don't think this joke perpetuates institutionalised racism any more than it perpetuates institutionalised discrimination against people who don't fit a certain idea of physical attractiveness. I think in real, practical terms, a personal insult against an individual is more emotionally damaging than a generalised one against a group. I think on a dating site, accentuating a single woman's negative features is probably going to make her feel a lot tier than making a childish joke about her skin colour.
But above all, I don't think that laughing at something means you believe in it, or agree with it. I don't even think telling a joke means you believe the content of that joke. I don't judge anyone on here for making obviously ironic comments about race, where as you're having to build some sort of special inverse periscope to see all the way down your nose at guys around here who do it. And you know perfectly well you're not going to alter with your whiny little comments. You do it entirely for the personal gratification.

scarf-haus duo who can't mix and just make and play a lot of crap re-edits of old tracks. Usually tracks originally made by black people, which presumably explains Avana's jihad against them. |

Are you saying that Avana only plays tracks that were made by white people because he doesn't want to step on darky's little, purple piggly-wigglies? Aww, that's awfully courteous.
And racist. Jeez, nef. :mad: |

In all fairness, re-editing old disco tracks and releasing them under your own name while paying zero royalties to the poor bastards who actually wrote those parts is a Dick Move. But the fact it's done by white middle class guys with beards towards poor black guys from NYC is what really tips Avana over into white-guilt apoplexy. |

| Ivano. and wasting money on surgery. You should become less of a man by sticking a cherry bomb in your pisshole lighting the wick and then shoving your dick in a glass jar. I hope your kind is not only oppressed but also sold into the slave trade made into sex slaves and sold to native indians to siphon gas for them for their friday night pow wows where you will be speared and ed and your kind slowly go extinct like wild buffalo |

This.
While I'm happy to be racist and insensitive most of the time (it's just too fun), I think no less of any particular race. The general American method for handling racism seems unbelievably ham-fisted and condescending to my ears. It's hard for me to put myself in the position of a minority, but I'm pretty sure I'd be pissed off if someone was constantly trying to defend me in the manner Avana, the media and other politically correct outlets do.
The ironic thing is, I find these kind of defensive tactics more racist than any of the average jokes. It implies that, firstly, a person is above being made fun of. If everyone is truly equal, then everyone should be equally liable to attack - whether in a fun or genuinely derogatory manner. Secondly, it also implies that said minority is incapable of defending themselves, and that they need to be babied around. That it itself is far more offensive than any picture of black skin on a black background. |

| quote: | SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Some colorful ducks made their annual appearance at Syracuse's Inner Harbor Saturday. The ninth annual Duck Race to End Racism kicked off at noon.
The day included three different duck races, one for corporate sponsors, one for third grade students and one for community members.
Community Wide Dialogue, a program of InterFaith Works, organizes the event. They want to keep the community from "ducking" the issue of racism.
"We want a day when we can show the community what it will be like when the world has ended racism. If you look around this day there are people here from all over the world, with different skin colors, working together, playing together," said Beth Broadway, InterFaith Works CNY Executive Director. |
