but it is in humor. its not considered bashing really. although its disrespectful...its not like they are intending to bash people. they think its funny. they could be that race themselves, its meant as a joke it doesn't mean they are racist. even though its rude they are different people...they haven't done it continuosly..if you find something REALLY offensive pm me

I found that post that Jason made idiotic, but not racist (considering I'm "chink" myself, that post Jason made is therefore idiotic). they're in humor, yes. reading the other posts in the topic, most of them didn't seem really happy about the jokes. **edit** Jason's not racist though. If he was, he wouldn't b listening to Jin. QUOTE we COULD ban them for a time or close the topics....or WARN them i don't recommend banning them, but i recommend warning them on a post b4 officially warning them a second time if they do it again. ex: QUOTE(blondiebombshell @ Feb 27 2005, 6:33 PM) oh well. another reason for me to hate mtv. i hate asians and thats pretty much all this site is composed of...grrrreat QUOTE(barelyy_coherent @ Feb 28 2005, 11:37 PM) **edit2*** lolz, look at what jason did: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=67520 |

Sticks and stones...
I personally don't find "chink" to be racist. Unless there was some malicious intent behind them in some way. If one of my white people in my posse called me a chink, I'd call them a hick and get on with it. Why are people so damn sensitive |

Think about it realistically. There is no way that you can stop racism. You can always educate people, but will they ever really stop and listen to what you are saying?

personally, i don't consider those racist. =/
they are just jokes. until the person is calling the black people n1993rs and telling them to pick their cotton, i think it is just ethnic humor. |

They are just jokes, for God's sake, lighten the hell up! Can't you differentiate a joke from a racist joke? Sure, they're aimed to make fun of certain races, but they're meant to be taken light-heartedly, meant to be funny because of these stereotypes. These jokes don't CREATE stereotypes, they use current ones and create humour.
So would you stop being so damned-ass serious about everything? People who truly offend others with racism or discrimination WILL be punished, but these jokes aren't exactly the criteria to follow by. Like Jeff (datru katalyst) said in the other thread, if you really have a problem with a joke, either PM the topic starter or a mod, and request for it to be closed, although frankly, these jokes are not truly racist at all, it is just ethnic/cultural humour, as Frankie said. QUOTE i like white people. i think everyone should have a white friend who smells like a dog when they get wet. And that, I don't know anyone who would get pissed or offended by that, if it was said as a joke. |

Race, as a social construct, is a part of society, no matter how much people want to deny it. By satirizing it, you help people realize how silly it is. And give a good laugh sometimes. |

I don't know. Personally, I found a couple of those offensive and disgusting. I know they are meant to be lighthearted and all that, but I didn't see them in that way. I guess there's no way to stop that.

^ Topics w/ race involved usually include a "Race Used" warning in its title. Authors are decent enough to warn you. If you are offended by them, the warnings are there to tell you to not click, not click and get uppity.

Look, you guys need to look at this in a different POV.
Jokes are light-hearted. Racial jokes are made to break the tension and effectiveness of racism. For me, if I heard someone call me chink, I'd just automatically think back on a joke about chinese people and white people. I'm not as mad that someone called me chink. It makes me laugh inside. Seriously! I'm comparing the arguments against racial jokes to something similar as fundamental Christians calling Harry Potter the spawn of Satan. (And how America's youth will all turn into lil devils and fly around playing Quiditch or something..) It's rediculous, and truthfully, your efforts should be spent somewhere more meaningful. (Maybe real racism in the real world, rather than against jokes on an online forum.) |

okay then...
yes you did say that whne thread title warns us of the content but what happened to a no tolerance ... just be considerate to those around you QUOTE Controversy
Think before you post. Everyone is different and everyone has different stances on certain issues. A little tact is never a bad thing. Watch what you say if you know it's going to be controversial. When you have an argument, it's better to post with reasoning justifying your views. |

QUOTE(JC4P @ Mar 12 2005, 7:41 PM) You mean [/sarcasm]. What the hell do you want to do about these "racist" jokes/posts? Close down every topic/post that has a controversial thought? Maybe you shouldn't go into the humor section if you don't have a sense of humor. Someone/thing has to be butt of every joke or else it wouldn't be humor. Oh, or did you want to have good, clean humor instead? Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? A: To get to other side. [TOPIC CLOSED] (Derogatory towards chickens.) |

Let's go down the list of the humor forum, shall we? Let's judge them as if we were closing all demeaning jokes. "yet another racist joke, chill im black people" - From what I hear, you guys think it's ok to post a joke about your own race. What a freaking double standard. Also, how would we really know he/she is black in the first place? This thread would be closed. "why women are great, and men are... " - If you read through it, it actually demeans women. Since we're cracking down on race jokes, might as well crack down on genderist jokes, ey? This thread would be closed. "sunday school class." - Might offend the religious on cB. You don't want THEM rowdy. This thread would be closed. "men!. *rolls eyes* hehe this is funny " - Demeans men. Some of the men here might get offended! This thread would be closed! "*A girls firs time*. lol" - The context can offend the sensitive. This thread would be closed. "..a joke...i think it's really racist..." - Race. This thread would be closed. "what do u call a black person?." - Race. CLosed. "why do racists/bloods hang around in gangs?. " - Race. Closed. "a few blonde jokes.." - Might offend blonde haired women. Closed. "The Rabbi and the Priest." - Might offend the religious. Closed. "asian girl joke." - Race. Closed. "what do you call a chinese nerd?." - Race. Closed. "the priest who lost his cock. " - Religion. Closed. "uncle sam, osama and some other guy. ". - Nationality. Closed. "Asian Breasts. " - Race. Closed. "other blonde joke." - Hair color. Closed. If you're all going to be cracking down on race, you crack down on hair-color, religion, orientation, disability, etc. Don't give me some double standard bs. Do you know why the race jokes get to you? It's because you let it. You're so inclined to rid the impossible to rid. Racism will not go away. Eliminating race jokes will inevitably make it worse! Why? Because the racial remarks will be SERIOUS. No one will laugh. No one will say, "Oh, haha, it's a joke!" You are eliminating the light-heartedness and parody of the joke. You are, effectively, helping true racism breed. Seriously, I've surfed the board, and the only argument I can find to disprove me is wind&fire's. The rules do say something about thinking before posting. Everyone else is going "Ohyea, let's go burn down their house." "Well f**k that bitch" "[insert incoherent stupid remarks here]". Cmon, you think I'll take you seriously if you denounce racism and then start swearing at a fellow cBer because they have a different point of view? I said this already, maybe you should all stop worrying about parodies of racism on the internet, and start writing letters to the KKK. Start supporting your local community on this issue. Get off your butt here, stop flaming others, and get into the REAL WORLD so you can end REAL RACISM. "Oh ooo, hey now, we can't laugh! You made a joke about black people! Ooo hey now, shouldn't laugh!" - Russell Peters |

its a double standard... i believe yes the joke may be racist but people can laugh at themselves but it s the degree at which the joke insults... but please if you even have the slightest feeling that the joke will insult then dont post it... be considerate to fellow CBers... what annoys me are those who warn that the joke is racist... WHY POST IT???
you people confuse me... |

I find it to be just humor, unless you can see the obvious malacious attempt to demean a race, its just all in good nature, and should be deemed as such, a joke is a joke, but yeah I do agree that some people should have some consideration in they way the present their jokes, because a lot of people get offended easily.

f**k racism.
If someone really has to resort to that level for the sake of humor, then they aren't very imaginative. Not that jokes are THAT big of a deal, but those of you who are racist are ignorant. |

Everyone has a little racism nestled inside of their narrow little minds (myself included). There are jokes and comments (humorous) about race all the time. This isn't about a double standard, its about the sheer tastefulness of c rude joke that involves race. When topics such as these arise in the forums, close them promptly to discourage the behavior. Ignoring it doesn't help. Fueling the fire by being militant (as I've learned) doesn't help so stop it right when it starts. The users who are responsible should get 3 strikes. End of story.

racism is growing. ive tried fighting against it but even some of my own good friends are becoming more and more racist...even when THEIR best friend is asian. so now i just ignore it. ive lost a fair amount of friends because i lost respect for them when they took their racism too far.
so i say, ignore the racists at cB. or warn them. or ban them. whatever. |

QUOTE(pandamonium @ Apr 28 2005, 8:04 AM) That would be funny. Personally being black I really dont give a damn that most of the racist jokes our intended or directed toward my race. I mean think about it for a sec. Whoever created these jokes are simple-minded and have nothing more constructive to do with their lifes. In other words someone who spends so much time worried about another race that they cant concentrate on their own well being just makes me laugh. I would be more than proud to laugh in their face. ![]() Besides most of the popular music genres these days were all pioneered by someone black. Rock and Roll, Hip Hop, R&B, Jazz, Blues. I could keep going but im not going to. So now what do you call a black person? A innovative human being |

I dont know about single mindedness because some of the greatest minds are bigots. From what I see the Racism in America is the "American way", Racism has a long history in america and will always be a part of it. We are all different with different opinouns, we are not all equal, so we tend to think negative of others who are different. Look at high school for wxample, you general do not see mixing of groups, everybody groups up with their race.
Personally I think racism is a outdated idea, slavery is a 19th century idea, racism and segregation is a 20th century idea, we're now in the 21st century, the world is mixing into a multicultural pot. |

Racism is racism whether it be a little bit or a lot. Just because you may have a friend that is black, asian, spanish/latin, or white, doesn't mean that you aren't racist. You can still be racist, as long as you consider them different from you in the sense that they can't be the same as you because of their skin or culture. I don't think I'm racist, but I know I call certain things "white" like if I saw a kid dressed in skater clothes, in my neighborhood we would call that dressing "White"... Just an example.

Sadly we can do absolutely nothing except complain to them to please stop being racist. In some people's minds they are not truly racist. But sadly we are completely powerless to do anything *sigh* if it were up to me i would give them a warning then if they did it again suspend them and then if they continued delete the account.

WOW, what a lot of wasted time... let me settle this once and for all.
how can a blind person give you dagger eyes? they cant, blind hatred has no basis. race does not exist. The only race is the human race. Racism is therefore flawed and cannot be considered hurtful or offensive. Jokes shouldnt offend you unless you're insecure about your: hair, skin color, creed, age, sex, religion, origin, current residence, clothes, mother, family, culture, speech, IQ, passions, association, friends, style, or yourself. It's your insecurity that fuels hate. However, blind violence should be dealt with as such. A blind man shoots his sub-machine gun into a crowded intersection and kills somebody he should still face the consequence of killing somebody. If we dissallow their voice by making their passion nothing more than mild jest, what power have they? They will be fighting on their own. There's no power without numbers. The extremists will die hard, but they will die. Quit taking things so personally and grow up. The wave at the football game is successful because of you. One person taking the first stand is all it takes to have an army for good marching behind them. Violence is violence and racism is nothing. |

Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir
I couldn’t help but note your shade of melanin I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin We’re colored people, and we live in a tainted place We’re colored people, and they call us the human race We’ve got a history so full of mistakes And we are colored people who depend on a holy grace A piece of canvas is only the beginning for It takes on character with every loving stroke This thing of beauty is the passion of an artist’s heart By god’s design, we are a skin kaleidoscope We’ve gotta come together, Aren’t we all human after all? Ignorance has wronged some races And vengeance is the lord’s If we aspire to share this space Repentance is the cure Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man Should make it easy for you to see That these diverse tones do more than cover our bones As a part of our anatomy We’re colored people, and they call us the human race We’re colored people, and we all gotta share this space [yeah we’ve got to come together somehow] We’re colored people, and we live in a tainted world We’re colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl - dc talk |

I don't think people should add in racist jokes, though. If no one finds the joke amusing, then why make a topic on it? x_x They won't get laughs; they'll just risk the possibility of getting warned. It sounds a bit stupid to me.

This isn't real. It's just figments of reality. a semblance if you will. The internet is not a place, it's a series of 1's and 0's. Life is too short to argue about what should and shouldnt be said, because before you're done you'll end up dead. Even if you succeed, is it a life worth living?
