Racists in CB, what should happen to them? Options

[Retrogressive]

everyone at CB is racist against me because I'm white :(

actually all racist should be banned. RACISM SUCKS!

[mai_z]

most of that was just in humor, there are plenty of cracks made about asian people, and white people, and american people, etc etc. Someone needs to be the butt of a joke and if it happens to be you, just suck it up and walk it off

[iheartjohn]

we COULD ban them for a time or close the topics....or WARN them

Or we could track them down, break in their house and kick their ass for posting controversial jokes over the internet that they probably got from another website.

Get your facts straight. I'm not a racist against whites and so is a lot of other CB members, for your information. Just because a large majority of the people here are asian doesn't mean we are racists against whites.

[sadolakced acid]

ummmmm...

is this a debate?

[DaTru KataLYST]

^ that is what I was thinking of, too.

Start contradicting me, or I'm going to close this.

[*wind&fire*]

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

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.

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?

they are in humor...i guess cuz they are jokes you can't really do anyhting about it except ignore them =/

is it just me or does anyone else think that it's even worse that people let racism go because it's a "joke"? is it better that people think these things are funny? why is this acceptable?

[DaTru KataLYST]

is it just me or does anyone else think that it's even worse that people let racism go because it's a "joke"?  is it better that people think these things are funny? why is this acceptable?

because the jokes are forms of laughter that are meant to demean racism and decrease its effectiveness.

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.

i know. because of the confusion i made a topic on this backstage..

apparently, we will allow the jokes which may be steriotypical..but people like jason823748723487 have been warned about the racist jokes posted that may offend someone.

steriotypical is judging a race or something
while a racist joke is something offending them..as in cussing out their race or something that may hurt them. i htink there is a huge difference between those..altough i'm still not saying i agree with all of the racist jokes.

[*wind&fire*]

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...

[Teesa]

^seriously, took the words right out my mouth.

[angel-roh]

That's life. everyone is racism especially me..... I know we're all the same, but I still pick on different countries........ yeah that's not good, but that's life. I don't think it should be closed... just think that everyone is just like that and that this person doesn't know that their countries does it too.

[simx]

Wanna know what we can do about them??? NOTHING, their "jokes" are protected speech under the First Amendment, and theres nothing we can do about it. Besides, those jokes were lame anywayz, just ignore it.

[kryzcoak47luv666]

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.

[Domonic]

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.

[fameONE]

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.

[*xcaitlinx*]

we should have a ceremony and torch them.

[simx]

come on people, be reasonable. You can't change people's beliefs. You can't control what people think. Racism is like taxes, it'll never go away.

[funbobby]

I say nothing short of castration, but then hey, who'll listen to me anyway?

[WinterNights2]

I'm not racist IRL but i like to be Racist here. I support blacks. I despise whites and mexicans on CB. Ah well, only some people are cool on CB. I don't go making jokes and shit.

[wayne]

the racists dont want to meet me. especially seeing how all the jokes were about my race....

[pandamonium]

they should recite their jokes in a "colored only" bar.
