Moving on up

[JohnDeere]

The video was removed once, and you blatantly disregarded our no racism rule AGAIN.

You are ignorant scum as far as I'm concerned.

I'm not necessarily pleased with the outcome of the election either, but we have basically ONE rule and you FREQUENTLY disregard it.

No one's trying to flex e-penis here, but if you continue to spit in the face of the mods around here any more, you'll be gone. Sooner than later.

Now that's some funny shit

Or not as the case may be. 

Can't we be just a little racist?  We make fun of white people and homosexuals, why is everything else of limits?

A "little racist", or subtle race-related humor is ok in my book. I'm not playing PC Police. See my Combo Breaker pic in the "One Good Thing" thread.

Saying a National Geographic video of a primitive African tribal dance is Obama's inauguration ball is blatantly racist, and over that line. Especially coming from someone who continues to prove his is a bigot with 95% of the posts he makes.

I thought that your post was racially insensitive...but humorous. 

...didn't see the referenced video by the way but it sounds like you made the right call (no offense to JohnDeere or whoever posted it).

Uhhhh.. I hate to tell you, but that's what happened last night/today in Kenya or whereever.  They all went out and danced that the socialist appeaser was elected.  Just like they did in the streets of Paris. Bunch of fags twirling around in joy that this guy got voted in by the dumbest electorate in the history of mankind.

So I would have found the tribal dance both amusing and informative.

THIS is how FUCKED UP we are...

The only thing I've seen more racist than that video, was the blackface "Fity Dolla Bill" also posted by John Deere, which also had to be removed.

Are you sure it wasn't a "Fity Cent" bill?...which, by the way, is all we will have left after the Democrats socialists tax the hell out of us all to spread the wealth around to those who don't pay any taxes.

Thanks for the correction.

I'm going to go on record as disagreeing with the removals.  

Dave Chappelle would have used both.

I'm sick of certain types of people being off limits. We can make Klan jokes, fag jokes, lesbian jokes, Islamic jokes, European jokes, Russian jokes, Polish jokes and honky jokes. But we can't make black ones. Fuck that. I voted for CHANGE, dammit. And one of the changes I want is that we can crack on whoever we want regardless of their ethnicity.

Thank You,

I tend to agree.  There were no references to the N word or nooses or crosses burning.  These are good humored spoofs for god's sake.  People need to loosen up a little and learn to laugh at themselves.  Remeber it was the dems doing things like hanging Palin by a noose in effigy and they all defended the peoples right to do such.  Where are our rights to spoof the Obama?

Bull. Fucking. Shit.

Are you seriously making the argument that joking on the Klan is equivalent to joking on an ethnicity? No one said he's off limits to be joked on because he is black. Blatant racism is off limits on this board, like it or not.

I have a South Park reference for every occasion.

Stan:     Hey, isn't that kid Kevin Chinese?
Kyle:            Yeah. You're from China.
Kevin:    No, I'm from America. My parents are Chinese.
Stan:    Tell us how the Chinese play dodgeball!
Kevin:    I have no idea, dude.
Cartman:    Come on, rice-picker!
Chef:    Hey, hey hey! Children, that's not cool! You don't make fun of somebody because of their ethnicity!
Stan:    You don't?
Kyle:       But Chef, you just ripped on Chinese people.
Chef:    Nonononono. That's different. I made fun of them because they are from China. You see, it's not okay to make fun of an American because they're black, brown, or whatever, but it is okay to make fun of foreigners because they are from another country.

Yeah, Dave would have definitely used the Watusi dance. 

And I'm saying that joking on ANYTHING is equivalent.  I didn't see "blatant racism" in either of the posts that were yanked.  How do you define "blatant racism"  anyway?  Have you ever seen Aunt Jemima or Mrs. Butterworth?  Pillsbury Doughboy?

How the fuck can you joke on Obama's blackness and yet not be "racist"? 

[AuburnChopper 3.0]

I agree with any racist bullshit being taken down, but I disagree with the "I'm your daddy" tone used in doing it in public.  VERRRRYYYYYYY Titan-esque, no matter how much you might not agree.

I appreciate enforcing the one rule we have, but acting like Captain Whoop Ass, then not listening to other level headed debates and opinions is a little weak.

Just my opinion.

[Snaggletiger]

I'm all about equal opportunity when it comes joking and ripping on people.  I rip on myself far more than others.  I think with defining "Blatant racism", it's more of a situation where you have to say, "I can't define it, but I damn sure know it when I see it."  It should be blatantly obvious the difference between "That damn black" and "Yo, my niggah".  Playing off and having fun with cultural traits and stereotypes should be perfectly acceptable with regard to any race.  I hate to admit it, but Chapelle is the perfect example.  He took it to that level very few would have ever gone in that forum, and it shouldn't be acceptable or okay to laugh at just because it was a black man doing it.  It was funny...period.

I personally find a double standard equally offensive as flat out racism.

I'm a contrarian. My nature. 

I'm sorry that ethnic humor offends certain people. Nothing posted today was "blatantly racist".  I'm, quite frankly, highly and personally offended by jokes or discussions of intoxicated behavior. Once you start drawing subjective lines based on one person's individual preferences, well.....

[D-Day]

This man gets it.

Agreed.  Of course he just might be high on pain meds....

Blackface is intrinsically racist.  From its roots in minstrel shows to the seminal "Daddy Jim Crow" character.  It is never in good taste or good humor.  See, for example: any frat boy in black face on halloween or the uproar over Ted Danson smearing the stuff on.

For an insightful look into the subject, check out the movie Bamboozled.

There was no black face. 

Is this funny? 



I submit that it is.
