Off Topic / Re: Racism
« on: May 21, 2015, 12:53:38 AM »i know plenty of people who wear hoodies and baggy pants and aren't gang members. i also know tons of milktoast little dudes who are total sociopaths, far more dangerous than some imaginary gangbanger. you see, you're basing someone's character on their clothes and the color of their skin, you know... like racism. your preconception of what acting like a "gang member" is is completely isolated to being black.
I didn't realize wearing baggy clothes and a hoodie is exclusive to black people and what being black means.
If I see anyone (white, black, asian) wearing baggy clothes and a hoodie (not just looking like this though, but this is what you're talking about), I'm gonna be on high alert. If I see anyone looking/acting suspicious I'm gonna be on high alert.
i love this one. you see, a monday is a derogatory term for a black person.
Not universally. It can be used like "bro" or "dude" like trinick said
what is intelligence?
The ability to learn, and solve and pose problems. That's one of the theories anyway.
what makes our knowledge of Proust more important than the knowledge of how to hunt and track a deer in a forest? what makes our knowledge of philosophy more important than the ability to start a fire anywhere and cook a rabbit with your bare hands? it's all arbitrary, and it's an invalid argument, the same one imperialists used to justify murdering natives so they could sell bananas and coffee
and once again someone says some tribal stuff while constantly affirming they are in fact not tribal.
no i think that's just his opinion.
There is a study that shows the average IQ in Africa is significantly lower than other countries. Obviously that doesn't really mean anything since there are an uncountable number of factors at play and we all know Africa is a total mess.
I don't think it has anything to do with actual intelligence, just lack of decent education opportunities.
That's probably what he's basing it off of.
agreed. you can't place a universal definition on the word that already exists, as setro and trinick are trying to do.
the thing about colloquialism is that the only thing that really validates slang is the fact that everyone who understands it agrees on it. Balsamic vinaigrette is not slang for spongebob yet because we have yet to decide and agree that it is slang. and monday has yet to mean lazy black people because, contrary to what you may believe, most people still see it as nothing more than an insult, and i am in that camp.
You're right; there isn't a universal definition for any word, really. "monday" doesn't universally mean "bro" or "dude" but it also doesn't universally mean a derogatory term for a black person.
try this one
pretty nice
Some very interesting commentary going on in here. I didn't expect this much inexperience and generalization of other humans.
hi reverb ily
Everybody has a funny side. You shouldnt discredit my words just because i have something in my bio that i thought was funny some time ago. Theres something good you can learn from everyone, no matter now knowledgeable or ignorant they are, no matter formal or informal.
This
I hate it when people try to use your jokes or funny side as a way to try to "discredit" someone's arguments or intelligence. It's loving stupid.

Although, ultimately, you will need to make up your own mind about Bobah, I have a number of things to say that you may find useful. The key point of the following exposition is that I have traveled the length and breadth of this country and talked with the best people. I can therefore assure you that my general thesis is that Bobah's insanity has reached record levels, so to speak. I'll talk a lot more about that later, but first let me finish my general thesis: I have a problem with Bobah's use of the phrase, “We all know that…”. With this phrase, it doesn't need to prove its claim that it's inappropriate to teach children right from wrong; it merely accepts it as fact. To put it another way, it has quite a clever technique for concealing its intent to twist the history, sociology, and anthropology disseminated by our mass media and in our children's textbooks. Specifically, its technique is to delve into philological discussions about comparative abstractive norms whenever the conversation veers too close towards revealing that we have a choice. Either we let ourselves be led like lambs to the slaughter by Bobah and its fans or we pursue virtue and knowledge. While I don't expect you to have much trouble making up your mind you should nevertheless consider that I am sick of our illustrious “leaders” treading on eggshells so as not to upset Bobah. Here's what I have to say to them: In the midst of our mighty struggle to deliver new information about Bobah's sneaky, unbridled conjectures, I have seen too many people stand on the sidelines and mouth pious irrelevancies and sanctimonious trivialities. I have watched too many people accept without challenge Bobah's apolaustic, insensitive claim that it holds a universal license that allows it to implant within the government a set of fifth columnists who are devoted to its dream of saddling the economy with crippling debt. And I have observed too many people fail to realize that if Bobah is going to make an emotional appeal then it should also include a rational argument.
Bobah is known for focusing too much on one side of the equation and not enough on the broader perspective of things. This is not only a grotesque betrayal of the principles that Bobah itself claims to uphold but a clear demonstration of how Bobah dreams of a time when they'll be free to destroy the heart and fabric of our nation. That's the way it's planned it, and that's the way it'll happen—not may happen but will happen—if we don't interfere, if we don't present a clear picture of what is happening, what has happened, and what is likely to happen in the future. Bobah is entirely versipellous. When it's among plebeians, Bobah warms the roosterles of their hearts by remonstrating against antagonism. But when Bobah is safely surrounded by its partisans, it instructs them to replace discourse and open dialogue with misinformed vaporings and blatant ugliness. That type of cunning two-sidedness tells us that Bobah would have you believe that war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. I have already, for the present at least, sufficiently answered the climatic part of this proposition and have only to add that Bobah would have us believe that profits come before people. Not surprisingly, its evidence for that absolutely temulent claim is top-heavy with anonymous sources and, to put it mildly, it has a checkered track record for accuracy. I, speaking as someone who is not an illaudable, abusive passéist, maintain it would be more accurate for Bobah to say that it amazes me how successful it has been at withholding information and disseminating half-truths and whole lies. History will look back on that unfortunate success with profound regret and wonder why the people of our time didn't do more to turn Bobah's cullionly conclusions to our advantage. Perhaps our answer should be that I have in fact told Bobah that its sodality of slimy, drugged-out reavers is exclusionary and divisive, continually falling back on difference in order to establish group identity and cohesion. Unfortunately, there really wasn't anything to its response. I suppose Bobah just doesn't want to admit that if it successfully prevents us from encouraging open, civic engagement, we will rise up again, stronger, firmer, mightier. We will put forth new exertions and proportion all associated efforts to the exigency of the times. We will ensure that everyone knows that sometime in the future Bobah will establish rack-and-thumbscrew programs. Fortunately, that hasn't happened…yet. But it will obviously happen if we don't embark on a new path towards change.
What a joyful affair it would be for Bobah if it managed to get away with consigning most of us to the role of its servants or slaves. It'd be laughing through its snout like a sow grinning at her little piglets. It'd be chortling at everyone's obliviousness to the fact that it's the type of organization that will Annoying Orange up any lie for the occasion, and the more of a thumper it is, the better Bobah likes it. Having said that, let me add that Bobah will stop at nothing to attack my character. This may sound outrageous, but if it were fiction I would have thought of something more credible. As it stands, some people have said that Bobah's tractates have a tendency to reap a harvest of death. Maybe. But I'm more inclined to believe that when people see iscariotic rascals behaving like iscariotic rascals they begin to realize that Bobah's support for freedom of speech extends only to those who agree with it. That is, it believes in “free speech for me but not for thee”. I guess that's not too surprising when one considers that Bobah has been deluding people into believing that it would sooner give up money, fame, power, and happiness than perform a prissy act. Don't let it delude you, too. As I have tried to show in this letter, Bobah's true colors have finally come out. As long as you remember that, we may yet be able to reveal the constant tension between centripetal and centrifugal forces of dialogized heteroglossia resulting from Bobah's anecdotes.
