FI-FO-FI FO-FI-FI-FO
I always thought that was Jesse Jackson's ******************** This racist thread brought to you by wreck.boats :-( Isn't this where we trot out the Chinese laundry jokes, or the tired old saw about telling a running back that the football is really a watermelon? Will we ever get past dealing in racial stereotypes, or finding then "amusing"? |
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. wrote in message oups.com...

******************** 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. |

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. wrote in message oups.com...

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. And people think that Bush is a bad speaker. Jesse uses phrases like "AX" for "ask" and "Ed-a-casin" instead of education..... 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. |
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? "Tim" wrote in message oups.com...

Actually my last name throws people. I am Polish. (Long story but started generations back on immigration). I tell more Polish jokes than anyone. You have to be able to laugh at yourself. 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! Ted |

lines earlier? -- ***** Didn't see that one, either. |
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.

Jesse Jackson is the most famous 'racial stereotypist' of all time.
**********f If Jesse Jackson posts a joke that relies on a racial stereotype for humor, I'll be sure to comment as well. |
Isn't that supposed to be "Fo"?
************ Not according to right wing apologist Herring and somebody else up the thread. They claim that the joke is simply about in individual speech impediment, (one you believe is also shared by Jesse Jackson). :-) |
