As We Near December 25th... What Better Time To Wonder About HIM?
Let me ask this, in the spirit (not really) of the holiday:

WHY do you like/follow Jesus/Biblical Teachings or dislike/go against those two? We always discuss them... but we never say WHY we feel good or bad about Jesus/God/Moses/Muhammad, or WHY not... go!

is my game a WTA or a points-per-supply-centre?
I'm sure this used to be obvious - but I can't see it on my current game.

Yeah, they are both racists.

haha.. well that is what i would say jimgov is implying... or that anyone who isnt african-american but enjoys Chris Rock is a racist following his logic
dexter morgan (225 D(S))

Iceray0, how about if we "joked" about raping children or torturing dogs? That would be hilarious, wouldn't it? Killing Jews? Acts of Terrorism? 9/11 had me rolling in the aisles... Gutting your girlfriend with a rusty knife? What a gas. Lynching gays? That's so macho and cool. How about killing cops? ...or spitting on Marines? Pissing on a cross? High-lair-EE-US!! Hey... I take no responsibility for these... cause I can just use the words of others from the internet... but aren't I funny?

See... it's not like African Americans have any reason to be sensitive to racism... after 300 years of slavery and a 100 more years of Jim Crow and lynchings. It's just so funny to make fun of the underclass... the oppressed... the downtrodden... the weak and abused. Gee, they're so narrow minded and angry and hateful to take offense at what is just a little fun...

You suck.
Iceray0 (266 D(B))
05 Feb 10 UTC
Jimgov answer my questions.
"does that mean if I post things about how great God is I must be religious too? How about if I post about how I'm going to kill everyone, does that make it so?"
doofman (201 D)
05 Feb 10 UTC
well following that logic jimgov... if you are making assumptions and jokes and snide remarks about iceray being a republican then you are a racist too
jimgov (219 D(B))
05 Feb 10 UTC
I will let the mods answer you. I am tired of your act. And in case you get banned, good bye.
Iceray0 (266 D(B))
05 Feb 10 UTC
Really Dexter? You clearly have it all wrong making a joke about doing things like raping children and torturing dogs is not ok because it's explicit, I want to know where I said anything involving killing/hurting/maiming anyone. You took what I said and made it as extreme as possible, took it to a place where I didn't even think it was possible to go. If I made a joke like this: "We should kill all the black people in the world, because they're black" that's not ok, that's fucked up but I didn't do that. Dexter you really need to lighten up.
Rule Britannia (737 D)
05 Feb 10 UTC
god dexter, taking it waaaaaaaaaaaay too far. All jokes are fair game, be they about pedo's, blacks, asians, gays, old people, terrorists or anyone. It's only humour.
That kind of reaction you've had is why the media and establishment of the west are such kill-joy, p.c-nut heads. Can't take people saying things which don't conform with what Big Brother says.
Iceray0 (266 D(B))
05 Feb 10 UTC
Ah yes, I forgot the logic of Jimgov. This is the thought process that went through his head as he made that post "Oh shit, Iceray0 has logic and reasoning that I can't deny, I should say something clever but I can't come up with anything. I know I'll say something about how he should be banned! Great Idea Jimgov. Why thank you Jimgov."
dexter morgan (225 D(S))
06 Feb 10 UTC
...so, Iceray0 and Rule Britannia, your "jokes" are OK because their dehumanizing in a more subtle way? The thoughts you expressed about "niggers" is the sort of crap that enables and encourages crimes to continue. Your jokes are ugly. Making comments inferring that someone is less than human because of their race (haha, so funny) is not very far removed at all from actions that actually treat them as less than human. You might dress it up as a joke - structure it with a pun or a surprise at the end... but the underlying meaning is no different than simply trying to dehumanize someone directly. Do you think it is any accident that all the jokes are about minorities? ...in this case, about blacks? Jokes like these are at best passive aggressive... and intended to put down, and keep down, those who make us uncomfortable... in your case, blacks. And structuring it as a joke gives you cover... because when you are called on it, you laugh it off and disown it. ...passive aggressive.
Iceray0 (266 D(B))
06 Feb 10 UTC
They have jokes like this for EVERYONE so are you telling me EVERYONE is a minority? Someone has to be the majority, they have jokes for the majority too.
doofman (201 D)
06 Feb 10 UTC
there are jokes there too about the roman catholic church... certainly not a minority you will find dexter
Iceray0 (266 D(B))
06 Feb 10 UTC
I have a good question for you Dexter, why would you join a thread called "Prejudiced Jokes" with a subheading of "Ready, set, go! Nothing is off limits, as long is it is prejudiced in some way." if you were going to get upset? I think it's very very clear that this is not the thread for you so why did you join it? To prove a point? All you've done so far is show me that you are to be filed away under the idiot portion of my filing cabinet.
dexter morgan (225 D(S))
06 Feb 10 UTC
Yeah... see hate is OK so long as you hate everyone. Right... but the hating the majority... hating your own group, always comes in as an excuse... not as the original joke.

A generation ago African Americans were lynched in this country... black women were raped as a method to terrorize their community... children were murdered. Thousands of blacks were lynched in the 20th Century. Thousands. Whole communities burned to the ground. They were denied the vote... they were denied protection of the law... they were denied adequate education and access to services. They were intimidated and scared into compliance with humiliating laws and practices made to make them feel inferior... drinking out of different water fountains, for crying out loud... barred from restaurants... barred from pools... expected to never look in the eye of a white... expected to walk in the gutter when passing a white person... assumed guilty if ever accused of anything by a white... etc., etc.

I don't see how making fun of a class of people that has been abused for so long and so consistently can be funny. I simply don't think it is funny to kick a man when he is down. ...and make no mistake about it, the black man is down in this country. We, as whites, have done our best to make it so for countless generations.
Onar (131 D)

If the black community can make fun of itself, why can't I?
Iceray0 (266 D(B))
06 Feb 10 UTC
I still want an answer to my question.
Iceray0 (266 D(B))
06 Feb 10 UTC
Good valid point Onar, I was going to avoid addressing his points until he addressed mine.
dexter morgan (225 D(S))
06 Feb 10 UTC
...and why would you, Iceray0, create such a thread here? Personally I think you should spend some time at Stormfront... you'd get a warm reception there. I've said my piece.
dexter morgan (225 D(S))
06 Feb 10 UTC
what is your question?
Iceray0 (266 D(B))
06 Feb 10 UTC
why would you join a thread called "Prejudiced Jokes" with a subheading of "Ready, set, go! Nothing is off limits, as long is it is prejudiced in some way." if you were going to get upset?

I didn't make this thread buddy, TMG did.
jimgov (219 D(B))
06 Feb 10 UTC
They can make fun of themselves because it is about their family. They are a community. It is like momma jokes. You can make fun of your mom, but the second someone else does, they have messed with your family.
Iceray0 (266 D(B))
06 Feb 10 UTC
Jim you just said that they are allowed to make fun of blacks because they are black, that's a racist comment. By your logic that makes you racist.
Onar (131 D)
06 Feb 10 UTC
So, you're saying that all black people are alike?
Iceray0 (266 D(B))
06 Feb 10 UTC
That's what I got out of it Onar, he's being racist and saying racism is bad. Hypocritical innit?
dexter morgan (225 D(S))
06 Feb 10 UTC
exactly, jimgov.
@Iceray0, If nothing is off limits here, then, by your own logic, I'm welcome here. ...oh... except I'm supposed to be prejudiced here. Very odd precondition. Well... I guess I can't help but speak up when I overhear (in this case see on the home page) crap that offends me. It's a very odd perspective you have that you can say anything you want and I'm out of line for saying what I want - in this case, objecting to it. And no, I don't think that this site is an appropriate venue for hate speech. Whether dressed up as jokes or not.
jimgov (219 D(B))
06 Feb 10 UTC
No Onar, I am not saying that all black people are alike. I am saying that something that is said within a family is for the family. If you have a sister and you call her dumb and stupid and all kinds of names, you know that you still love her. If someone else says that about your sister, you kick his ass. Same thing.
Iceray0 (266 D(B))
06 Feb 10 UTC
I never said you couldn't come in here or speak your peace, I was just wondering by what logic you would join a thread that would piss you off. If I saw a thread that said "Iceray0 sucks" subheading "I hate Iceray0" I would avoid that thread because it would piss me off. I tend to not subject myself to things that piss me off. I don't hate anyone because of skin color or religion, whatever makes you happy is my stance on that shit so when I posted jokes I posted just that, jokes, nothing more nothing less.
Iceray0 (266 D(B))
06 Feb 10 UTC
@Jimgov except what you literally just said is all black people are a family... that's racist bro.
jimgov (219 D(B))
06 Feb 10 UTC
I agree with you Dexter. I don't like being associated with certain kinds of people. I see this whole thread as pretty ugly. I voiced my opinion because I want this crap off the site. If you just stick your head in the sand, idiots win.
SirBayer (480 D)
06 Feb 10 UTC
Iceray, please attempt to actually understand what racism is.

In this case, the phenomenon he's referring to is not exclusive to the black community; it is simply a part of it because of folks like, well, you. Oppressed and mocked groups band together and resist. In this case, the older generations (and many of the new generation) have created reason for the black community to band together.

So, no, that's not racist. Please at least sort of attempt to understand what it is.

Finally: People step in to stop inappropriate things. That's what Dexter's doing here.
