was BET the first black network, and..

No, I really don't. I figured you were accusing me of being racist

 

You said something that was blatently racist. There is no way around that.

 

... seriously?

I can say the average sweater is too itchy - that's not clothist.

 

You've successfully ruined my want to further call you out on this, which I could do quite fiercely by the way, with the pure unadulterated idiocy of your replies so far. Just gotta pick my battles sometimes.

You can make all the lame distraction based replies you want, I don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

 

actually that is, you're accusing most sweaters of being itchy lol

 

Racism - the idea that one race is superior to another.

How is saying that another group, generally doesn't have taste (a matter of opinion, I might add), saying that they are inferior?

 

You argue like a white man makes a deal. lol Historically I'm sure you catch my drift.

And why'd you leave the cool line out of the quote?

 

Way to prove that it's only racist if you're white

 

I'm white. I'm being ironic.

"Ironic" is a song written by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard, and produced by Ballard, for Morissette's third album Jagged Little Pill (1995). It was released as the album's fourth single in 1996. The song received a Grammy Award nomination for Record of the Year in 1997.[1]

 

You still haven't given ONE SINGLE reason that making a general statement about a group is inherently racist.

It was a general statement, I think I even said average.
I did not stereotype - 'average' implies that there are exceptions (that there could be 49% of the group in the exception category, really)

On NO other topic would this be considered offensive, aside from race and gender. And I really doubt you would've given me shit if I said the average black man has a bigger penis.

 

Ya know maybe racist is leaping too far. But what you said was prejudiced as fuck. So you still deserved the call-out.

And I'm not saying that based on your last post, cause that just read "bullshit bullshit bullshit" to me. You're spliting hairs and playing the semantics game. That's just weak.

 

No. It wasn't.

Explain how.

 

Than who?

 

I'm not going to sit here and help you work out your denile about this anymore.

 

You haven't given me any reasons, while I backed up my position fully, with nice old logic.

Your argument is based on an emotional reaction of liberal guilt to an entirely harmless statement.

Again, if I said old people are generally cranky or Americans are generally lazy; we wouldn't be having this discussion.

 

What you said is the average black person has bad taste. Would you say that in a black neighborhood loud enough to be heard? Then you should know why you were wrong.

i mean i took back calling YOU a racist and just said that what you SAID was predjusted... and you can't even concied to that? Really?

 

I wouldn't say in a church that God is evil, either. That doesn't make it wrong to be atheist.
You gotta respect an owner in their house; if not for courtesy's sake, for your own.
And it would depend on who I was talking to, and if they would stand up for me if someone else took offense.
I used to discuss race and how shitty black comedies (with exceptions like Friday and Barbershop) are sometimes at the Plasmacare I went to, which was in the ghetto. It was this cool straight-edge dude in his early 30s with dreads.

No, because it isn't prejudice.

You're giving an innocent man a plea deal here. I'd rather be executed :2thumbsup:

 

Sorry orison, I took your thread. It was a good thread too.

Okay, I'm wrong. I recant, no mas.

 

Orison's been around long enough to know it happens; and I'm 100% just as guilty as you. We coulda taken it to PMs, but sometimes these things are more fun in public =P

 

Well the BET channel is pretty shitty, lol. so maybe them black folk arent a very good example..

Amen. Tvone
Everybody hates Chris Bet
