Time to move on folks....the PC crowd is suffocating me.
******* Doubtful. Your joke was marginal. When others began suggesting names of other African Americans to substitute for Mike Tyson in the punchline, the thread, (as observed), became racist and the implication was that the enunciation "Fe Fi Fo" (for the numbers three, five, and four) was typical among people of color. Unless one cares to represent Jesse Jackson as a punch drunk pugilist, the follow-on comments took the thread in a racial direction. Go find yourself a sense of humor that doesn't rely on putting other people down, or defending those who do. |

Unfortunately Chuck, that pronunciation *is* typical for blacks in this area. I live in SC, and while all blacks don't speak that way, a large number do. And most of these aren't uneducated people... I can think of several from my graduating class in high school that required concentration to be able to understand. It goes on to this day. It's a *choice* made by them to speak in that manner. It severely limits their acceptance by mainstream society, and the opportunities available to them. You, the ACLU, and the NAACP do them no favors by coddling and accepting their behavior, and telling Bill Cosby to shut up when he points it out. You... the PC crowd, *are* part of the problem. Like any American city, their are parts of Columbia, SC that are pockets of drug and crime activity. The Columbia Police Dept.started a "Clean Sweep" program a couple of weeks ago to try to stem the drug activity in the downtown area. The ACLU and NAACP were quick to swoop in and proclaim that blacks were being targeted by the police. They called news conferences and condemned the activities. To the local news show's credit, when they covered this, they showed one final clip at the end. It was several black women who were saying that they *welcomed* the clean sweep program in their neighborhoods! They were tired of the drugs and crime, and wanted to reclaim their neighborhood. The organizations get so caught up in pushing their agendas that they forget to listen to their constituents. Pretty much like the PC crowd... squashing any recognition of reality, just pushing their blind agendas. Jack |

And... What about the name calling you made for those who had no comment on the Jackson post? **************** Huh?? You claim that I called people names for "failing to make a comment in the Michael Jackson thread"? I hear it's over 100-degrees back there today. Better go get some cool air, you're hallucinating. |

No Chuck, you called *me* names and I *didn't* comment on the Jackson
post! -- John H *********** Very bizarre. Let me get this straight: You claim I called you names because you failed to comment about Michael Jackson. Is that correct? |

thread you're posting in? Try to keep up, OK? ********* 1. He commented. 2. I called him an "apologist." (I now realize that the term could have considered an insult if one is not familiar with the defintion). Sorry, John H. Should I ever decide to call you names, I'll make them short and common. :-) |
