Potato prostitutes...OT
POTATO PROSTITUTES
Two little potatoes are standing on the street corner. One is a prostitute. How can you tell which one is the prostitute? Hold on...... You're gonna love it... It's the one with the little sticker that says... I - DA - HO -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |
ROFLMAO, that last thing that is is racist.
It was using street expressions used by whites, blacks, browns, yellows and purples. It appears that HaKrause is a racist. "HaKrause" wrote in message ...

Harry,
Using your logic, the name of your only boat, Yo Ho, is racist. "HaKrause" wrote in message ... John H wrote: POTATO PROSTITUTES Two little potatoes are standing on the street corner.

Harry,
You are the person who stated you liked the double-entendre of "Yo Ho". Now you are saying it is racist. It would appear that you are racist to assume all Ho's are black and only blacks would use the word "HO". Shame on you. "HaKrause" wrote in message ...

The name of the boat is not "You Ho," it is "Yo Ho," and the name incorporates a graphic of a pirate. The two of you ought to undergo a mindmeld so you'll have an EEG at least the equal of poor Terri Schaivo. Sherlock is the latest nom de plume of the "Smith" Idiot? |
"HaKrause" wrote in message ... Nope, just the ones in which you expose your hypocrisy. Harry, Does the expression that would be the "Pot calling the kettle black" mean anything to you? |

I wonder if the pirate has a woody? Regardless, what a stupid thing to put on a boat. |

It was using street expressions used by whites, blacks, browns, yellows and purples. It appears that HaKrause is a racist. ************** Depends on context and intent. Example: Two African American teenagers meet on the street and one greets the other with, "What's up, ******?" They'll laugh and joke and go on their respective ways..... I (older white guy) meet either one of the same two teenagers on the street and say, "What's up, ******?" and all hell is likely to break loose. To take the position that anybody should be able to say anything about a group that certain members of that group say about themselves and that doing so is not racist would be like stating that because you have sex with your wife I should be free to do so as well. Some of that trash talk is culturally proprietary. Blacks use the word "******" with one another, IMO, because it was a reasonably effective way to take the sting out of a word that has always meant, "inferior, subhuman, ignorant slave". IMO, the use of this word between two blacks is an attempt to change its meaning over a period of time to "brother of common heritage." (This is somewhat the same concept that Christians applied when they turned the cross- the structure upon which Jesus was executed- into the main symbol for the religion and a positive, rather than a fearful, sign). When a white says "******", he can't mean "brother of common heritage" and so the original,spiteful meaning is always assumed to apply. Was the joke racist? Possibly. Almost any time a white guy needs to shift into the feigned, stereotypical accent of an African American, Asian, Mexican, etc to get a laugh there is a strong liklihood that the humor is racist in nature. I'd be surprised if JohnH could tell that joke to a classroom of schoolkids in Baltimore. |
Since when was being a whore a matter of race or skin color?
****************** The racist portion of the joke wasn't the reference to prostitution, it was the need to use the stereotypical accent and slang associated with African Americans (ebonics) to make a very poor pun. Litmus test: Could JohnH tell that joke to a class of mixed race teenagers while subbing at a public school and expect there to be no reaction? (Beyond the predictable lack of laughter, of course). |

Chuck,
See comments below: wrote in message oups.com... Depends on context and intent. Example: Two African American teenagers meet on the street and one greets the other with, "What's up, ******?"

To take the position that anybody should be able to say anything about a group that certain members of that group say about themselves and that doing so is not racist would be like stating that because you have sex with your wife I should be free to do so as well. No, I did not say any such thing. I stated the expression "HO" is used by people of all ethnic background and is racially nuetral. It is an expression used by people of a certain age, so if anything it was an age related joke. ; ) Harry jumping on the joke was his feeble attempt to appear superior to JohnH. When Harry was joking about the double entendre concerning his boat "YO HO" no one thought it was racist, no should they. Some of that trash talk is culturally proprietary. Blacks use the word "******" with one another, IMO, because it was a reasonably effective way to take the sting out of a word that has always meant, "inferior, subhuman, ignorant slave".

I would hope that teachers are not making jokes about HO's or whores, but I doubt if anyone would think the joke about white potatoes was racially motivated. |

"HaKrause" wrote in message ... "Yo Ho" has visited Baltimores Inner Harbor many times, and everyone who sees the name on the side, along with the pirate graphic, gets a yuck, and that includes people of many colors. Harry, It is nice to see you agree that using the word "HO" as a double entendre is not perceived as racist by anyone, including people of many colors. I have never seen a person of many colors, but I am sure they would not be offended. Chuck, Even Harry agrees the joke is not offensive to anyone. |

Seems to be a common term for prostitutes. Or maybe it is a "Black Thing" Sort of like N.W.A.'s "Boyz-N-The Hood" lyrics. |
You need to do a little research on the n-word regards Bill Cosby and the
use by the teenagers. His opinion is diametrically opposed to yours. wrote in message oups.com... ROFLMAO, that last thing that is is racist.

************ Almost as funny as John's "joke". BTW, "lighten up", is that a racist remark? (kidding!) |
