View Full Version : Blatantly racist posts

There was some concern awhile ago from the higher ups at 2+2 that some of the posts in the message boards (particularly OOT) would scare away customers and/or didn't reflect well on 2+2 as a whole.

I just finished reading the "What kind of black is David Williams" thread (it was moved to Politics). It seems like every day there's some wannabe Klansman on here making racist posts about blacks, jews, asians, etc... Some of the posts are harmless and are not meant to be taken seriously, but there are a good number of posts that I see every day that are made just for the sake of being hateful and bigoted.

I don't think that racism should be tolerated on these boards. It gives a bad image to the 2+2 community as a whole. If people want to post their racist crap on the internet, 2+2 is under no obligation to allow them to do it here.

So here's my poll:

If people can't handle racist comments, it stands to reason that they won't be able to handle pretty much anything in OOT.

if somebody doesnt like black poeple, they should be allowed to speak their mind. if you can have threads about pooping, drinking, hookers, then theres no reason to censor posts like that

There are plenty of forums on the internet where you can go and talk about your dislike of black people. 2+2 is under no obligation to provide such a forum.

while i think, from time to time, there is racially offensive stuff here - i think it's much more often that people are being a little too 'pc' for my tastes.

if people can get dave chappele's humor here - they have to also understand when others are trying to mimic it.

most people who are really offended by some of this stuff need to take a deep breath and see if they can see it from the point of view (and tounge in cheek style) which it's presented.

This is why I added the line "Some of the posts are harmless and are not meant to be taken seriously" to my OP. And also why the question involved the words "repeated" and "blatant" when it comes to the racist posts.

i think unless the racism is totally out of line or inciting dangerous actions, it should be allowed. i am so tired of whiney ass liberal PC crackpots thinking every reference to race is improper and should be censored. most of you don't even know what you are talking about when it comes to the subject. anyway, if you dont like the content of a post then dont read it.

personally i think this is ridiculous. i see lots of posts someone else calls "blatantly racist" that i don't find blatant at all. also, in general i don't think anyone should be under any obligation to not hurt someone else's feelings. it's your own problem if you get hurt by something an idiot says. with that said, i also believe the people that own the forum should able to make whatever rules they want.

Look at the humor of Richard Pryor. It's absolute genius. He understood that he wasn't going to change some "cracker's" opinions/bigotry/ignorance. So he made fun of it. He turned it around and pointed it right back at the idiots. Too bad he couldn't stay sober.

Princeton:
Say, Kate, can I ask you a question?

Kate Monster:
Sure!

Princeton:
Well, you know Trekkie Monster upstairs?

Kate Monster:
Uh huh.

Princeton:
Well, he's Trekkie Monster, and you're Kate Monster.

Kate Monster:
Right.

Princeton:
You're both Monsters.

Kate Monster:
Yeah.

Princeton:
Are you two related?

Kate Monster:
What?! Princeton, I'm surprised at you! I find that racist!

Princeton:
Oh, well, I'm sorry! I was just asking!

Kate Monster:
Well, it's a touchy subject.
No, not all Monsters are related.
What are you trying say, huh?
That we all look the same to you?
Huh, huh, huh?

Princeton:
No, no, no, not at all. I'm sorry,
I guess that was a little racist.

Kate Monster:
I should say so. You should be much more
careful when you're talking about the
sensitive subject of race.

Princeton:
Well, look who's talking!

Kate Monster:
What do you mean?

Princeton:
What about that special Monster School you told me about?

Kate Monster:
What about it?

Princeton:
Could someone like me go there?

Kate Monster:
No, we don't want people like you-

Princeton:
You see?!

You're a little bit racist.

Kate Monster:
Well, you're a little bit too.

Princeton:
I guess we're both a little bit racist.

Kate Monster:
Admitting it is not an easy thing to do...

Princeton:
But I guess it's true.

Kate Monster:
Between me and you,
I think

Both:
Everyone's a little bit racist
Sometimes.
Doesn't mean we go
Around committing hate crimes.
Look around and you will find
No one's really color blind.
Maybe it's a fact
We all should face
Everyone makes judgments
Based on race.

Princeton:
Now not big judgments, like who to hire
or who to buy a newspaper from -

Kate Monster:
No!

Princeton:
No, just little judgments like thinking that Mexican
busboys should learn to speak goddamn English!

Kate Monster:
Right!

Both:
Everyone's a little bit racist
Today.
So, everyone's a little bit racist
Okay!
Ethinic jokes might be uncouth,
But you laugh because
They're based on truth.
Don't take them as
Personal attacks.
Everyone enjoys them -
So relax!

Princeton:
All right, stop me if you've heard this one.

Kate Monster:
Okay!

Princeton:
There's a plan going down and there's only
one paracute. And there's a rabbi, a priest...

Kate Monster:
And a black guy!

Gary Coleman:
Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Kate?

Kate Monster:
Uh...

Gary Coleman:
You were telling a black joke!

Princeton:
Well, sure, Gary, but lots of people tell black jokes.

Gary Coleman:
I don't.

Princeton:
Well, of course you don't - you're black!
But I bet you tell Polack jokes, right?

Gary Coleman:
Well, sure I do. Those stupid Polacks!

Princeton:
Now, don't you think that's a little racist?

Gary Coleman:
Well, damn, I guess you're right.

Kate Monster:
You're a little bit racist.

Gary Coleman:
Well, you're a little bit too.

Princeton:
We're all a little bit racist.

Gary Coleman:
I think that I would
Have to agree with you.

Princeton/Kate Monster:
We're glad you do.

Gary Coleman:
It's sad but true!
Everyone's a little bit racist -

All right!

Kate Monster:
All right!

Princeton:
All right!

Gary Coleman:
All right!
Bigotry has never been
Exclusively white

All:
If we all could just admit
That we are racist a little bit,
Even though we all know
That it's wrong,
Maybe it would help us
Get along.

Princeton:
Oh, Christ do I feel good.

Gary Coleman:
Now there was a fine upstanding black man!

Princeton:
Who?

Gary Coleman:
Jesus Christ.

Kate Monster:
But, Gary, Jesus was white.

Gary Coleman:
No, Jesus was black.

Kate Monster:
No, Jesus was white.

Gary Coleman:
No, I'm pretty sure that Jesus was black-

Princeton:
Guys, guys...Jesus was Jewish!

Brian:
Hey guys, what are you laughing about?

Gary Coleman:
Racism!

Brian:
Cool.

Christmas Eve:
BRIAN! Come back here!
You take out lecycuraburs!

Princeton:
What's that mean?

Brian:
Um, recyclables.
Hey, don't laugh at her!
How many languages do you speak?

Kate Monster:
Oh, come off it, Brian!
Everyone's a little bit racist.

Brian:
I'm not!

Princeton:
Oh no?

Brian:
Nope!

How many Oriental wives
Have you got?

Christmas Eve:
What? Brian!

Princeton:
Brian, buddy, where you been?
The term is Asian-American!

Christmas Eve:
I know you are no
Intending to be
But calling me Oriental -
Offensive to me!

Brian:
I'm sorry, honey, I love you.

Christmas Eve:
And I love you.

Brian:
But you're racist, too.

Christmas Eve:
Yes, I know.
The Jews have all
The money
And the whites have all
The power.
And I'm always in taxi-cab
With driver who no shower!

Princeton:
Me too!

Kate Monster:
Me too!

Gary Coleman:
I can't even get a taxi!

All:
Everyone's a little bit racist
It's true.
But everyone is just about
As racist as you!
If we all could just admit
That we are racist a little bit,
And everyone stopped being
So PC
Maybe we could live in -
Harmony!

Christmas Eve:
Evlyone's a ritter bit lacist!

As usual, you have no idea what you're talking about. If it's easier for you to label me as being some lefty crackpot, fill your boots.

There's a difference between comments about race that's done out of parody and satire, and racism that's done out of ignorance and hatred. Most people are capable of distinguishing between the two. And yes, sometimes people mistake parody and satire for racism. However, most of the time it's pretty clear whether a "racist" comment is supposed to be funny, or whether it's supposed to be hateful.

You're confusing each individual's opinion on attractiveness with racism.

If I say, "I've never really been attracted to dark skin" (which is untrue), this is an expression of my personal opinion on what I find attractive.

Now, if I say, "All blacks are rapists and thieves and should be killed", that's a totally different thing.

I do see what you're saying. There's plenty of people who will immediately dislike someone because they're fat, or ugly, or talk with a lisp, or what have you. That's not really what I was talking about, though.

by this post, you hint at being OK with all black rapist and thieves being killed. now consider this: if you were to get accuracte information about the racial statistics behind rape and thievery, you'd find that blacks committ these crimes significant more frequently than other races. in fact, if you killed all black thieves, you would annihilate most urban black populations. that seems not just racist, but genocidal

Why's everyone ragging on Hopey?

There's a shitload of racist stuff that's posted on these boards, and people that are offended by it are supposed to just accept it.

I'm sure many of you can find what you're looking for here. (http://www.kkk.com/)

There's a big difference in being a PC crackpot and addressing a serious issue in a clear, concise, and unjudgeworthy manner.

The results so far show that about 2/3rds of those who responded to the poll agree with me. Most of the people who have attacked me are just angry people who are looking for any excuse whatsoever to flame someone who makes them feel uncomfortable.

They take my question of whether it is a good idea to "ban repeated, blatant racist posters" to mean that I think that all comments about race should be censored, that I'm some PC nut-job trying to control their lives, that I don't understand what racism is, that I need to be set on fire...oh, and that I must either be a jew (which is apparently a bad thing) or a black woman on welfare.

Restated, that reads "Ban trolls when racism is the weapon of their trolldom." Since I'm a big fan of banning in general, I'm ok with that.

by this post, you hint at being OK with all black rapist and thieves being killed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, that's exactly what I was saying. You figured me out. I believe that rapists and thieves should be killed, but only if they're black. Oh, and dark skinned Hispanics too. We can't be too careful.

Sure, sounds good to me. If anything, I'm racist towards trolls.

most super liberal left wingnuts don't actually understand racism. they have no clue what the term is and how racism actually manifests itself. you'd be amazed at how many liberal douches i have met who are racist but completely oblivious to thier own ignorance and dissonant beliefs

I'm not sure if the above post counts as "wrong forum" or not. But it's pretty freaking close.

It does remind me, however, about the story from a couple week ago about the kid who wore a T-shirt which had a car driving off from a church surrounded by klansmen. The car was dragging two black people behind it (w/nooses around their necks) and said "just married". Oddly enough, a fight broke out (!) and the kid got in trouble. His defense was that he wasn't racist, he just didn't like black people.

Another one is "I'm not racist, I hate all races equally". This is usually preceded by some form of statement about the race that they have a problem with.

Btw...whenever you see the Klan on TV, they'll always claim that they don't "hate" blacks, Catholics, and Jews. They just don't want anything to do with them.
