Carlos_E if I've offended you or any other member on this board then please accept my apology. That was not my intention all.

[Tock]

Everybody likes a good bit of humor or wordplay, but over the years I've become less and less appreciative of jokes that depend on making particular ethnic groups look, um, dumb. Here in North Texas, I've had friends/acquaintances/coworkers use humor to highlight character flaws in blacks and mexicans, and sometimes it got fairly vicious. Seemed to me that they just showed that they were basically intolerant, bigoted, whatever.
It seems to me that if a person wouldn't tell an ethnic joke directly to a dozen or so burly members of that group when alone in a dark alley, or to their boss who's a member of that ethnic group, then it's probably something that doesn't need to be repeated.

Hate to be the "wet towel" in this party . . .

[bornbad71]

Damn bro I liked it. to funny.

[ross3814]

i get the feeling that there arnt too many black guys on this board. prob cause most of them are just friggin born diesel!

[Animal Cracker]

It is WOP (With Out Papers, a former legitimate Ellis Island term)...not Whop. Get the ethnic slurs right if you want to use them.

Bro whatever you say......... I'm one of "them" so I can spell or use it anyway I want to I guess that's what my father's papers read then thanks for clearing that up for me.

Tock -
You're correct in what you're saying. Sometimes these jokes get out of hand but why did this joke have to be about black people or any other race. I've heard plenty of white kids destroy the English language talking this way.

People take things way too seriously and need to relax and take things for what they are and not look into things and always look at it like a insult.

[palme]

Im sorry guy´s...i dont get it

[big daddy k de]

OMELETTE = Im gunna let

hahaha that shirt was funny i just shared it with my English Teacher hahaha

[BIG TEXAN]

HEy Mudd, I'm full Irish bro and I grew up in Cleveland... land of the irish and italians. Man I couldn't count the times I heard Whop used. Of course I couldn't countthe times I've been called a "f"ing Mick either.

[Pheedno]

Also, people should realize that this is not an ethnic joke. It's a vocabulary joke. A Hispanic, Black, White, Asian, etc. could use ebonics as their choice for speaking.

It may be a discriminatory joke, but it's discriminatory towards a form of language(or lack of education) wich is spoken by many different ethnic groups, not a specific ethnic group itself.

[BUYLONGTERM]

It was funny as shit!!! And as Pheedno said, it's in no way racist...Lighten up people and smile...

[Warrior]

My current supervisor talks kinda like that - he chops the last few letters off nearly everything he says and it makes it hard to understand him sometimes

[Red Ketchup]

If I may quote George Carlin on racism... he echos my thoughts exactly...


There's a different group to get pissed off at you in this country for everything your not supposed to say. Can't say Nigger, Boogie, Jig, Jigaboo, Skinhead, Moolimoolinyon, Schvatzit, Junglebunny. Greaser, Greaseball, Dago, Guinea, Whop, Ginzo, Kike, Zebe, Heed, Yid, Mocky, Himie, Mick, Donkey, Turkey, Limey, Frog. Zip, Zipperhead, Squarehead, Crout, Hiney, Jerry, Hun, Slope, Slopehead, Chink, Gook.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of those words in and of themselves. Their only words. It's the context that counts. It's the user. It's the intention behind the words that makes them good or bad. The words are completely neutral. The words are innocent. I get tired of people talking about bad words and bad language. Bullshit! It's the context that makes them good or bad. The context. That makes them good or bad.

For instance, you take the word "Nigger." There is absolutely nothing wrong with the word "Nigger" in and of itself. It's the racist asshole who's using it that you ought to be concerned about. We don't mind when Richard Pryer or Eddie Murphy say it. Why? Because we know their not racist. Their Niggers! Context. Context. We don't mind their context because we know their black. Hey, I know I'm whitey, the blue-eyed devil, paddy-o, fay gray boy, honkey, mother-fucker myself. Don't bother my ass. Their only words.

You can't be afraid of words that speak the truth, even if it's an unpleasant truth, like the fact that there's a bigot and a racist in every living room on every street corner in this country.


I'm of the Frog persuasion myself and "it don't bother my ass" when the title is used in friendship or in a good humoured joke. And if it's used as a slur, well then I pity the bigoted ignorant asshole... but I won't let his stupidity offend me. He's not worth it.

Just my 2 cents...

On a similar note, and one that goes along with the "Gay Games" thread as well... it was kind of strange to see this in the news today after all the posts back and forth here on AR:

http://www.cnn.com/2003/EDUCATION/09....ap/index.html

It's about affirmative action this time. I thought the bake sale thing was kind of funny, actually. What do you all think?

[Pheedno]

The bake sale is definately an odd way to protest, and does instigate a potenitally dangerous situation. But I don't think it's totally innapropriate. Affirmative action is based on the worng variable. Rather than race, it should be based on economic status
Special interest because you are a minority is reverse racism. Try for equality, but develope a way that equality cannot be achieved

That's how I feel ... If it's meant to be funny then cool take it for that.... but if you're trying to be mean then go screw yourself..... I look at it as just words and nothing more in either case.

[Testify]

I love both of them.

Why can't we make fun of people who lazily butcher the english language. People who do so routinely make fun of those who use correct grammar & pronunciation.

And I think the bake sale was a ballsy and creative way to demonstrate. There's nothing wrong with that. And anyone who thinks that affirmative action is not based on race (as a student in the article says) is naive.

All this over an ebonics joke?

[Cycleon]

"My reaction was disgust because of the ignorance of some SMU students," said Houston, who is black. "They were arguing that affirmative action was solely based on race. It's not based on race. It's based on bringing a diverse community to a certain organization."

I think that fella needs to get an edjumacation. Uhhh...... a diversity of what exactly, if not race? another Al Sharpton in the making

Why do we care WHAT color people are? why not based on merit? because then the democrats wouldnt be able to buy black votes with my money while telling them how stupid they really are - "but dont you worry rich massa white democrat gonna help you out! You neeedz the white massa because you iz too stupid to do it on your own"

All this does is buy into the crap that black people actually are more stupid and incapable than the average white guy - because that is the real message - and I dont believe it for a second. ANY man or woman who wants something and is willing to sacrifice to get it will.

If I were black you can well believe I would summarily execute every one of these "so called" black "leaders" who make his race look bad and keep them from really getting the same opportunities as everyone else.

It is WOP (With Out Papers, a former legitimate Ellis Island term)...not Whop. Get the ethnic slurs right if you want to use them.
