damned if you do, damned if you dont...

they would be saying the same poo if you said he sounded like a thug-- YOUR RACIST

IDiots cant understand the difference between a compliment and stereotype .....

[KBRed]

Of all people to quote though...Chris Rock...I mean, really?

'A white boy that makes C's in college can make it to the White House.'

'School shootings were invented by blacks... and stolen by the white man.'

'Yeah, I love being famous. It's almost like being white, y'know?'

What's next, Kanye West, or maybe Jeremiah Wright?

Sorry to inform you, but you sir are racist, Uptown.

I'm black and I wasn't offended by it at all.

I'm black and I wasn't offended by it at all.

But I'm sure you would be if some white dude was cracking those jokes on the street corner. It shouldn't be OK for anyone to say that I don't care what 'race' you are. As a white person, I'd say that offends me because I am not racist. If I was, I could see the humor, get it? Being a racist has nothing to do with the race you are. Plain and simple.

so you are saying that he should have been offended? telling a black person what they should or shouldn't be offended by?

If you're talking about Chris Rock, I think he's an idiot. My whole point is, no one should be offended by what the guy said.

And crap, I didn't want to get back in this stupid thread, but when you call me a racist, I must reply. So here goes...and really, if you want to talk to me about it, PM me, people. I didn't intend to derail the thread at all, as my post count shows, I'm no troll.

Anyway, some of you amaze me for not understanding that I posted what I did in jest (as it comes straight from a comedian's stand up act), but then you jump to conclusions and call me a racist for it. How exactly am I a racist, by the way? I'm curious. Was I being racist toward white people or black? I'm baffled here. Perhaps if more of you were familiar with the Chris Rock routine in the first place, some of you wouldn't have been offended. The reason it even popped in my head was because of Rock and only Rock. I didn't make up the accusation toward the OP on my own.

Are you sure you guys aren't a bunch of soccer moms?

Thats cause your white and your worried that what you say might be taken out of context, therefor your judgement is skewed.

:willy_nilly:

The guy made an honest compliment

People WORRY too DAMN MUCH about what other people think, if they would just be true to themselves and each other than this world would be better off.

Bleh... my bad. Yes Chris Rock is a moron....

:willy_nilly:

Ha. What white people say 'joke-wise' usually does get taken it out of context and that's why my judgment is skewed. I was talking about CR though not the original post. I am very proud to be white, and I hope all other 'races' are proud to be what they are as well.

I totally agree people should be true to themselves, but people get offended and call everything racist too easily now days....

I guess I was really just talking about Chris Rock...man I hate that guy, just want to punch him in the face.

so you are saying that he should have been offended? telling a black person what they should or shouldn't be offended by?

No, I am not telling a black person what they should be offended by. It would be nice to see some consistency however, instead of allowing someone like chris rock to say things and they be funny but if any other race in real life or even a comedian starting spewing that racist bullshit there would be a problem.

There wouldn't be so much confusion on what's racist and what isn't if it was a bit more consistent...and was more of a person's perspective rather than a 'who said it' type thing...

[Lumps]

BTW rayzr it's nice seeing you on this forum...

Looks like there are a few of you on this forum....

who would have thunk. :sifone:

I agree with you about Chris Rock. We wont watch his comedy just because of what your talking about.

There IS A HUGE double standard.

Chris Rock uses racism to make a profit, not helping the situation,while criticizing it (or just white people) and at the same time endorsing it(racism).

And for some reason it sociably acceptable???

Its ok- it wont be long before whites are the minority, then I can just call up the WWACP and get that racist poo off tv.

Maybe I will find me a white "al Shaprton" to go cry about that poo on CNN.
