I'm not Kevin, please go read my response to NOYB in the Clams Canino thread. You, NOYB, Fritz, and JohnH will be the laughing stock of the newsgroup soon. NOYB actually had a great idea, and I can't wait! But, do you think that by referring instantly to someone's color ISN'T racist??? No it is not racist. And where did I *instantly refer* to Mike Tyson's color Kevin? Now if Chuck thought the joke was indeed funny, as it is, and never brought up the fact that he thought it was racist, as it is not, would you be jumping on this racist thing? I doubt you as you have never had an original thought in your entire lifetime, nor are you capable of having an original thought. The Bassy Show will continue after this word from our sponsor. |

wrote in message ups.com... Rule #1. After being caught trying to defend a ridiculous statement/opinion, but unable to do so any longer, start attacking the other side to deflect the criticism. ************ It looks like we agree on this one, JimH. Fine, then stop the personal attacks and admit you were wrong. |

Keep on pedaling, whitey. "
Wouldn't the term "Honkey" be more appropriate? |

The thing about humor is that it is but one small, very tiny nanoline away from hurting somebody who is "sensitive". Some of the best lesbian jokes I've ever heard came from a former nun and some of the best gay jokes I've ever heard came from a gay guy who I work with from time to time. Most of the time, when I retell the joke, it's the straight people who take offense FOR the "offended" parties. Most of the time the "offended" parties enjoy the jokes. Believe this or not, I have actually told the "Horse walks into a bar" joke and had somebody take offense at it - I'm not kidding. Doesn't matter whether one says *All*....... conservatives are mean, hard-heartred *******s....... Well, that's true actually. liberals are socialist traitors....... That's also true. black people like to eat fried chicken and watermelon..... God, I would hope so - I love fried chicken and watermelon. white people have small body parts and can't jump...... Speak for yourself White Boy.... when one defaults to a single statement intended to include all the members of any group it simply shows that the person knows little, or could care less, about any individual members of the group. Hmmmm - so what you are saying is that I can't, in good conscience, say anything about "blacks" because I don't know anything about "blacks"? I can't judge the suitability of a joke because it involves blacks? That was poorly stated - allow me to try a different tack. Let's say that there is an audience of one hundred people and Chris Rock is the comedian. Chris tells a joke about black men - you know black men, they'd put rims on a refrigerator if you let them. Let's say that 75% of the audience thinks this joke is hilarious because it's based in some truth and 25% don't think it's funny and stereotypical. Which side is the correct side? Should he have told the joke because 25% of the people could possibly be offended? How about if Jerry Seinfield told that same joke to fifty whites and fifty blacks and the white people were offended - is that reason to call for Seinfield's head? Was he insensitive? The PC rule is that ANYTHING that can be deemed offensive by anybody at anytime is offensive and thus verboten. And that, my friend, is just plain bull****. I'll leave you with this joke. This grasshopper walks into a bar and asks for a beer. The bartender looks at the grasshopper and says "Hey, you know we have a drink named after you?" The grasshopper looks at the bartender and says "You have a drink named Steve?" Now, make something of that. :) Later, Tom |

If you think all black people talk that way that is your problem. (Now I could use the Chuck Gould trump card and call you a racist. ;-) ) Sorry to post through you Tom but I have Doug killfiled. Pretty funny joke BTW, even though you stereotyped all grasshoppers and folks named Steve. LOL Thanks for bringing some more common sense into this discussion Tom. Jim Yes, but then in lay the humor.
