A racist problem

[Red Harvest]

In my younger days it was acceptable to pummel such idiots into the dirt. Being as things are now, you probably have to report the comments and let the system handle it. Either that or do something I have some experience with...baiting the moron to throw the first punch.

Depends on your fighting skills, but if you know how to detect the movement step back/slide sideways then tag the clown, it is very fulfilling. They get the consequences of attacking you, while you get the joy of beating the crap out of them in self defense. Yes, I've done this a few times...ahhh...those younger days.

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Curb stomp them? They're white right? So go with

"Put your teeth on the ******* curb, Cracker!"

[Divinus Arma]

I say join them and become racist swine yourself.




Hee hee. Just kidding.

Tell them that it bugs you and that they are cowards and dare them to say it to somebody's face like a man. Then come up with hilarious black supremacist jokes, like:

Q: What do you call a little white boy in jail?

A: Currency.



Or how about this one....



Q: What do you call a lost white atheist family in Compton?

A: Born-again Christians.



Or how about this 'un:



Q: What's white on the bottom, red in the back, and black on top?

A: A little white boy in jail.



Okay, One more:




Q: A white man, a priest, and P-diddy are all in a bar. The bartender looks at the white man and says "we don't serve your kind here". The white man leaves while the priest and P-diddy laugh at him. Then the bartender looks at the priest and says "we don't serve your kind here". The priest leaves and P-diddy laughs at him. What is the moral of this story?






A: Highlight

George Bush doesn't like black people.

[Reverend Joe]

Q: What's white on the bottom, red in the back, and black on top?

A: A little white boy in jail.

That's a bad one. Reminds me of a Michael Jackson joke that I can't tell here, mainly because it makes use of a pun that won't work when typed.

[bmolsson]

I got a chinese friend that calls me a hill billy/redneck all the time. Makes fun of black people. Says all white people are gay......And when I finally say "shut up you !@#$ing chink(I don't know if i spelled it right) I got a detention for "racial remarks"

Chinese can never be racist, since after all they are Chinese......

[Divinus Arma]

Only white people can be racist. Because we are white, we are automatically evil. White people are the devil.

[Papewaio]

Racism seems to be a bigger issue in some countries then others. But like a lot of other attributes it ain't race based.

Saw an interesting documentary on the weekend about African-American units in WWII stationed in Australia...

Theres a number of different sayings that apply to this situation:

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

Somebody call the Wambulance!

And my personal favorite..

Cry me a river, build yourself a bridge, and get the hell over it..



Hehe.. just playing.. but seriously, dont be so uptight. Have a sense of humor. They're only joking.

[Papewaio]

There is nothing funny about racist jokes or thinking that someone is a crybaby for standing up for themselves to racists or the weaklings who support racism.

I can take a sheep joke and an Aussie or NZ joke as well as the next guy. I however try and stay off race specific jokes unless I am counter slapping someone and/or I have that line of ancestory.

[yesdachi]

As others have said, I would give them a verbal slap down that would totally attack their ego, the louder the better, the more people that hear them getting ripped on the better. And if it happened to bait them into swinging at you, so be it. Either kick their tails or take a beating, despite the consequences you have shown that you don’t take crap.

In the alternative your verbal slap down might just make them laugh and in that case you could take that as an opportunity to offer to buy them a pop/soda and become friends.

[Fragony]

People thT SAY SUCH KIND OF THINGS TO ME ARE NOT MY FRIENDS, THEYRE NOT MY FRIENDS, I NEVER SAID THEY WERE. I HAVE A FRIEND WHOS THEIR FRIEND AND BECUZ OF HIM I DONT PUCH M. SOME OF MY FRIENDS ALSO MAKE SOME LIGHT "RACIST" JOKES AND I DONT MIND IT...BUT WHEN SOMEONE STARTS CALLING ME A SLAVE HE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL...I CAN DO CRAZY THINGS WHEN IM MAD

My bad, sorry. Well enough good suggestions so far, there is nothing that some good old violence can't solve. You definately shouldn't let someone call you a slave, make them bleed

[The Stranger]

If it's that much of a big deal, stop being around them.

their in my class

[The Stranger]

Ah Grasshopper you must learn the art of the verbal comeback and slap down.

If he says:


You reply:
Least I'm not a slave to ignorance {high brow}
Hey thats exactly what your girlfriend said last night...[low]
...and your mum [lowest]

If he says:


You reply:
(Well thats obvious) you are pretty full of it.
No kidding and your breath shows it.

i did sumthing like it, but i gennerally get to angry (within) to control any of my very vocabulary...i remember i said sumthing i cant remember what but it left them speechless.

thanx for your gentle and sumthimes less gentle (break their friggin teeth ) replies

[Goofball]

Speaking of crybabyism...



You and Kaiser really need to get of the "I'm such a poor, downtrodden white guy" whining train.

We white guys have it pretty much better than everybody else in the world, and have for a long time.

Quit your belly-aching.

As to the main topic/question:

Racist jokes are never funny, IMO.

Whenever somebody tells a racist joke/makes a racist comment in my presence, I tell them that I think that kind of talk is dusgusting and ignorant. It has caused some awkward situations, and even cost me a "friend." I put the word "friend" in quotes because if someone has those kind of beliefs, they really are no friend of mine to start with.

Anyway Stranger, you just need to decide if these guys are worth your time. I suspect they are not. But if you decide they are, then tell them how you feel about what they are saying. If they persist, then they have just proved that they are not worth your time after all, so it's an easy decision to just cut them loose.

What do you guys think of popular comedians that do a lot of jokes and skits that are race driven?

US Examples like Chris Rock, George Carlin, George Lopez, and many others.

Chris Rock I can take or leave (meaning I like some of his stuff, but dislike some of it also). I don't know who George Lopez is. George Carlin? His humor doesn't seem to be race-based, if I recall. He's more of an angry, "stick-it-to-the-Man" type of guy.

George Lopez is a Latino comedian who has a TV show but use to do standup, his routines usually included stereotypical Latino racist jokes like Chris Rocks standup usually includes stereotypical black racist jokes. George Carlin’s "stick-it-to-the-Man" routines have occasionally hit a racist theme. But that is all beside the point I was getting at.

Do you think it is ok for comedians to tell racist jokes?

the fact that they involve races doesnt make them racist...like nazi and kkk racistic but i dont mind minor "racistic jokes" as long as they arent intended to hurt someone i like all jokes

[Ser Clegane]

I think judging racist jokes depends pretty much on the context.

There is quite a difference between

a) overemphasizing racist cliches to ridicule these cliches and present a mirror to the audience

or

b) just making cheap shots to slander people

Sometimes the difference is obvious in a given context or through the overall tone of the joke - sometimes the line between the two is very fine and even the person who makes the joke might have difficulties realizing on which side of the line he/she is moving.

[Goofball]

Do you think it is ok for comedians to tell racist jokes?

Yes, it's okay for them to tell them; that's their right. I just don't think they are particularly funny.

[solypsist]

okay so what was this thread about?

[Idaho]

Hehe.. just playing.. but seriously, dont be so uptight. Have a sense of humor. They're only joking.

You're right Panzer. You're a racist apologist!

See - just a joke!

if calling people slaves is your sense of Humor, youve got a very serious problem

and i Soly i never said that racism is and was a big problem in my life, ive just gut a minor/medium problem now. i nver accused them of really being racist cuz i think they arent, theyre just very prejudiced and dont know how to handle the problems in our country and they just start bullying and pointing fingers at a certain group

[Arcanum]

What you should NOT do, in my opinion - and personal experience (not myself, but a guy I know) - is beating them up. Such hatred will reflect in even greater hatred from their side, trust me.

We had a little 'child' at our school that was beeing insulted by a human with turkish heritage, he replied something like 'shit turkish people!', one second later there were 20 relatives of the turkish on their way to hunt down the boy and beat him.

The boy was even more upset then and insulted them even more (him not having any 'nazi contacts' like many people here have) and I am sure that he would have called those 'contacts' if he had any, he was beat up 'till some teachers came, by the way.

Don't know the ending of the story, but must have been pretty bad.

[Idaho]

He does have a serious problem - it stares at him in the mirror each morning.

You shouldn't hace to deal with racist abuse mate. Let them know that you won't take it - don't let the b*stards walk over you.

[Goofball]

What you just described is racism.

Don't let them off so easily.

What should have happened to the kid in your opinion then?

Congragulations for his racist ideas? A thankyou note? A lollypop? Detention from the teachers? Forced to give a public apology? A jail sentence? Put in stocks and have rotten vegetables thrown at him? etc

[Quietus]

i'd like to hear your oppinions

there are 2 guys. one is a racist the other is a semi racist (e.g very and little)

they are continuasly making racist jokes. some very annoying some one-ear-in-other-ear-out jokes. well i'm a person that has a high limit. i can take alot of people and till now ive just ignored them. but theyre getting worse, and i'm afraid that if someone doesnt stop m now it might be too late.

option 1: i just hit them in their face when they make a other nasty joke
option 2: i keep ignoring them and do nothing
option 3: ill let the class handle it
option 4: ill tell the teachers

problem 1: theyre good friends a good friend of mine, so i dont want to hit them
problem 2: i'm running out of patience and my limit is almost reached
problem 3: i dont like snitching nor i like the teachers, and i know it wouldnt help much and i only have to talk embarrising convos with teachers etc

Umeu, just tell them straight out, you don't like the racist jokes because it isn't funny. If they continue, repeat the message: it isn't funny. Don't say anything else nor try to insult back.

ok, some jokes ARE funny as hell, but only if they're true. I laugh at German jokes all the time.
