Racism/bigotry/sexism on this board[views:24707][posts:125]______________________________________ [Feb 7,2005 8:26am - Joe/NotCommon ""] What I find funny is how in movies there will be the white guy who acts 'black' and everyone laughs at how goofy he is, but what nobody else seems to realize is that black people who dress and act the same way in real life are much goofier. I will never feel guilty for being white. |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 7,2005 10:00am - dreadkill ""] i didn't read this whole thread, but i agree with the stuff i read from moe and blue. anytime i say anything racist, i do it in the privacy of my own circle of friends and make it clear that i'm joking around. i don't support serious racism. i have too many friends that would be hurt by that. i do enjoy racist jokes alot though. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 7,2005 10:24am - Josh_Martin ""] I really like the phrase "white trash". It's the most racist phrase ever coined. It implies that you have to separate regular whites from trash whites, on the other hand, "black trash", "brown trash" etc etc are totally unnecessary phrases because they're all trash. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 7,2005 10:25am - __THeMoor__ ""] i've seen a lot of people defending their usage of racist jokes as just jokes, but not a lot of people apoligizing for being blatently homophobic. its entirely hypoctical to be like "hey man, you can't make fun of him for being black, thats not cool you fag." both are just as ignorant. so what about it? is everyone just joking around with the homosexual comments too? |
| _____________________________ [Feb 7,2005 10:33am - RG ""] Why should people be allowed to be racist on here? what the fuck? |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 7,2005 10:36am - timma nli ""] quite honestly Moor, the level of homophobia that exists not only on this board, or in the metal scene, but in society in general is far too high and overwhelming that there's really no point in trying to call someone out on it. I'm not shooting you down, read my comments further up the thread, but the reality is...people hold much more hatred and malcontent for gays than any type of ethnicity. just stating the facts.... |

Its pathetic but its true. I dont understand why people care so much who other people fuck. Is it because theyre not getting any? |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 7,2005 10:42am - BestialOnslaught ""] Obviously every time someone calls someone a "fag", they're making a statement of hatred and intolerance of homosexuality... (Where's the fucking rolling eyes emoticon on this board?) |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 7,2005 10:42am - Josh_Martin ""] How many people who don't get the whole calling someone a fag thing aren't from around here? It's a wicked New England thing to say. No different from calling someone a dork. It's just a word. You can fuck men and not be a fag. You can fuck women and be a total homo. Why is that so hard for some people to understand? |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 7,2005 10:47am - BestialOnslaught ""] Just as a white man can be a nig, and many blacks are not! |

It's a wicked New England thing to say. No different from calling someone a dork. It's just a word. You can fuck men and not be a fag. You can fuck women and be a total homo. Why is that so hard for some people to understand? because thats not exactly what teh word means. whatever YOU want it to mean doesnt change the power and hatred, and more importantly, the history behind that word. its a hurtful hateful word in any context. if i just started calling people niggers, but wanted it to mean something else, you wouldn't expect people to look to kindly on it? i know words are only words, and i wish it wasnt an issue, because i do think that it should be the meaning behind everythign that counts. but the fact is you cant always predict how people are going to react and as a human being i feel like you should be responsible and conscious for what you do and say, even if people misinterpret it. |

(Where's the fucking rolling eyes emoticon on this board?) see above. words have more meaning than just what you may or may not intend, especially around people you dont know. while most of us vaguely know each other (or our personnas), we are still in a public fourum and our words may have effects that we dont intend. obviously its not a political statement every time you say it, but believe me when i say that it does contribute to hatred and intolerence, on an unconscious if not conscious level |
