To make more clear my point(which wasn't about the picture at all), trolling is an artform. Using any possible means to get someone to bite. You bit. That's all.

Ah, and I thought you were accusing me of being the troll. Thanks for clarifying.

So, have you guys had a chance to discuss it yet? Wanna tell us your thoughts? I see the post is still visible, so.... yeah, I'm wondering what moderators of a family forum do.

I'm a long time lurker, but this thread finally compelled me to post.

It is disturbing to see an extremely racist and offensive caricature of Tyrone Corbin posted in this thread—and disappointing to see a moderator reply without comment on it. As Jazz fans, we should be better than this.

For those unaware of the history of the symbols used in that cartoon and their associations with racism, you can refer to Ethnic Notions, an excellent film on the topic that I've linked to here.

I've also linked specific information to several of the more obvious stereotypes this cartoon draws upon.
Pickaninny
Watermelon
Fried chicken

There is no place for racial stereotypes such as these on a basketball forum. The image and its associated posts should be taken down.

Sheesh. That post was awful.
 
Yeah, interventions would be taken much quicker if it was pictures of private parts of human body or words of profanity.

No it's not man. That is the part that makes some people keep acting like they are successful trolls that get under people's skins. Trolling is a different kind of art. Yes it includes getting under their skin, but it also includes some talent about doing it, not batter-ramming it straight forward to attack and crush! Coz then it would be simply attacking, being offensive. Trolling is doing it without getting caught. Without alarming anyone to sense the sarcasm in it. And not offending any weak issue. Not being weak. Not hitting under the belt. You know what I mean?

This is 2013 dude. Trolling is as much a part of life as your telephone. Get with the times.

Read the article. There's a part that differentiates an initiate troll with a career troll. The fact that he shoved it down everyone throat is only proof that he's a novice.
 
Will Favors be awake for this game? Is he tired after only 5 games? He is breaking my heart this season...:(
