Ugh. I know this is true and I hate that this is true... If people took as seriously what black radio hosts say over the airwaves what white hosts do... well, ALOT of people would be fired and sued.

Not that I want that to happen. I want everybody to be able to do that. Not in the form of threats and very serious hateful behavior, but for the sake of comedy.

Well the real problem is what we are willing to over look and what we are not. If its offensive then its offensive whether its black lips or white that utters them. But we tend to be able to over look some offensive content when its someone of our own race spewing them out.

Yep, because we're supposed to feel guilt for the rest of our time here on earth.

I'm saying I think that's the reason that we are "willing to overlook so much"... Because of slavery we will always be ingrained with guilt.

Mencia is still on TV....why is that? He makes bigoted jokes all the time, its the staple of his shows...and its fairly funny. Is it because he's mexican...who knows...or is it because he makes fun of everyone equally.

Or should I be able to sue Mencia because he called me a honky or a cracker?

The world needs to take a sigh and lighten up... It was a joke.

Thats what certain groups (NAACP, ect.) want you to feel. Personally I don't nor have I ever own slaves in fact no one has for over 100 years. As for how our nation as for a brief whole treated minority's two generations ago was wrong. But should I feel guilty that some one with the same color skin as me didn't like minority's 40 years ago. ???? Should I be penalize for their views ???

Uggg
I should start sueing every person who has called me a name because I'm an albino... and sue everyone who has made less than pleasent comments about albinos. :rolleyes:

Heck, come to think of it, I posted in the member pictures thread early this morning about a member who said something about his "all albino satanist church".... he was joking and was not talking about me or to me, but still, can I sue him for slander in implying that albinos are satanists? :D :P

People are waaaay too sue happy in this country. *shakes head*

kinda on subject.. kinda not. but if you guys read the comic Pearls Before Swine they're having a story line about suing that's pretty rediculious..
