Isn't this where we trot out the Chinese laundry jokes, or the tired

telling a running back that the football is really a watermelon?

Will we ever get past dealing in racial stereotypes, or finding then

John Jay June 11th 05 06:44 PM

Gould,

Racial and ethnic humor is not necessarily evil, and those who find racial
and ethnic humor funny are not necessarily evil. I grew up in a very
racially and ethnical diverse neighborhood, and we loved making jokes about
each other and "stereotypes" concerning our different ethnic background. No
one's feelings were hurt because we were comfortable enough with our friends
and who we are to let a joke hurt our feelings. I have not known any ethnic
group who did not enjoy ethnic humor as long as it was not mean spirited. I
did not find this joke mean spirited (or particularly funny), but I don't
consider myself bound by Political Correctness.

Those who can not laugh at themselves, live a very boring life.

Racist thread? It is a joke and nothing racist about it. The guy is punch

You're right, assuming that JimH is black.

JimH, if you're black then you were merely disrespecting your own
ethnicity and not that of someone else. My criticism would still be
warranted, but my comment less than accurate if you are black. We have
no information upon which to base an assumption that you are white, and
it isn't important either way.

I often laugh at myself. I'm frequently pretty ridiculous, as are we
all.

The problem with this "joke" is that it perpetuates a myth that black
people are unable to enunciate well. Look at Tim's comment in this
thread. Jesse Jackson is very well spoken, but Tim was quick to hang
this demeaning racial stereotype on Jackson. One of the classic
idiocies in life is assigning stereotypes to a member of one group or
another merely because you might disagree with that individual's
politics or philosophy. Mike Tyson may not speak as well, (at least to
the "white" ear), as Jesse Jackson but that has nothing to do with
race. There are enormous differences in speaking ability among members
of any race.

The fact that the joke relies on a racial stereotype as a substitute
for humor can be demonstrated by the response accusing Jesse Jackson of
speaking as Mike Tyson is alleged to speak. There is little these two
individuals have in common beyond their ethnicity.

Stereotypes are always stupid. Doesn't matter whether one says
*All*.......conservatives are mean, hard-heartred
*******s.......liberals are socialist traitors.......black people like
to eat fried chicken and watermelon.....white people have small body
parts and can't jump......etc, etc, etc, etc......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.

Not a 'racial' stereotype at all. It's a 'missing front tooth' stereotype. Tyson
just happens to have been on TV a lot!

Jesse Jackson is the most famous 'racial stereotypist' of all time.

"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."

John Jay June 11th 05 08:30 PM

The joke would have been funnier if the person referenced did speak Ebonics,
but the fact is many black people do speak Ebonics or black English . This
is acknowledge by all educated people, especially those in education who are
interested in improving the educational level and opportunities of blacks.

Bill Cosby, who has a PHD in education) has made a concerted effort to try
to educate blacks to the dangers of Ebonics, and he has also used "black
English" in his humor for years.

Next thing you will be telling us is an Italian can not tell a Irish joke
without being racists (or would that be nationalists).

Lighten up Gould, it doesn't make you a better person to be so PC.

Jesse uses phrases like "AX" for "ask"

BTW, did you ever watch much black rap or hip-hop videos? If not, you
should....Now theres a true lesson in proper vernacular and grammar.


John Jay June 11th 05 11:59 PM

I have never noticed Jessie using Ebonics, except when he wanted to, but it
is very possible he uses "AX" etc. Ebonics is very real, and is a problem
that needs to be addressed.

Comedy can be a very effective tool when addressing serious issues. I
wonder why Gould and Harry have failed to hear Ebonics on TV, in movies, on
hip hop and videos and in the real world. Is it possible that they are the
racist?

You

Like the Polish airplane pilot coming in for a landing, he looks at the
runway and said to his co-pilot "Damn that is a short runway, 50% flaps".
They got closer and he said "That is a really short, 75% flaps". As they
got
close to touchdown he yelled to his co-pilot "That is really a short
runway,
100% flaps and full reverse thrust". As they safely landed, they looked
around, the pilot said to his co-pilot "That was a really short runway".
His
co-pilot answered back, "Yeah, but it sure is wide".

Then again, my wife is 100% Italian but every once in a while she has a
little bit of Polack in her grin

Not unusual for people of a different nationality that get tagged with the
wrong last name. Years ago, a fellow by the name of Bennie Iusa worked for
me. When he came over, he couldn't speak English. When asked his name he
didn't understand and said "I USA". That's how he got his last name. TRUE!

There is a difference between hearing it, and holding it up to ridicule

Telling jokes that rely on racial stereotypes to be funny is racist-
just as using racial stereotypes for any other purpose is racist.

Here, I wouldn't want you to miss it.

Probably already made the rounds by now but here goes:

Cardinal Ratzinger was not the Cardinals' first choice for Pope. That was,
interestingly, Cardinal Hans Grapje. Grapje was raised in a Catholic
school in The Hague and, as a young man, aspired to become a priest.
However, he was drafted into the Army during WWII and spent two years
co-piloting bombers until his aircraft was shot down in 1943 and he
lost his left arm. Captain Grapje spent the rest of the war as a
chaplain, giving spiritual aid to soldiers, both Allied and enemy.

After the war, he became a priest, serving as a missionary in Africa,
piloting his own plane (in spite of his handicap) to villages across
the continent. In 1997, Father Grapje was serving in Zimbabwe when an
explosion in a silver mine caused a cave-in. Archbishop Grapje went
down into the mine to administer last rights to those too severely
injured to move. Another shaft collapsed, and he was buried for three
days, suffering multiple injuries, including the loss of his right
eye. The high silver content in the mine's air gave him purpura, a
life-long condition characterized by purplish skin blotches.

Although Cardinal Grapje devoted his life to the service of God as a
scholar, mentor, and holy man, church leaders felt that he should
never ascend to the Papacy. They felt that the Church would never
accept a one-eyed, one-armed, flying purple Papal leader
