Jazzfanz: Racist, Sexist, Anti-gay remarks Ok. Swears and All Caps Not Ok.

To blame for what? Since when do I get into blaming people?



It's unfortunate that you think I'm primarily discussion bigotry and hate.

This is how "One Brow" threads actually get started. I make a couple of comments, not insults in any fashion, and white men just have to come back with insults and distortions, because they can't allow their hegemony to be dissed. So, I respond to the distortions, trying to clarify what I meant, and get back distortions and insults again. Round and round and round we go. One white guy saying that I'm blaming him for cultural forces that existed before his birth, another white thinking that I care more about internal feelings than external actions, both so certain of their opinions that they are perfectly comfortable telling me what I think (partly because, as white men, their opinions get treated with higher regard generally). Somehow, that's my fault, or at least, I'm not supposed to respond by explaining what I actually think.

Will someone please get KKKarolinaJazz's wife's opinion on this thread? She's black. (Didn't you know?) Obviously, if you're white, it is irrefutable that your opinion on anything regarding race is worthless. Same goes for sexism if you're a white male. Clearly, these two rules don't apply to OneBrow, as he grew up in a neighborhood with black people AND women. He's so interesting!

You should really drop by the dollar store one of these days and pick up a discount sense of humor.
It will do you some good, something is better than nothing.

He always waits for Black Friday sales, only to end up not shopping them because of the obvious racialism. It's a wicked cycle.

The last time you saw me telling a black poster or a female poster about what there experience was happened when? Never? How about that. However, I do see lots of white men telling me what they experience, or denying what they say they experience.

I can enjoy the humor and still respond to the misunderstanding contained therein. Saying "it was a joke" doesn't mean the misunderstanding didn't happen.

So you are telling them what they experience. Funny how it's ok for you but not others.

???? I have no idea what you meant, but the confusion is probably my fault. I'll remove some ambiguous pronouns.

The last time you saw me telling a black poster or a female poster about what their experience was happened when? Never? How about that. However, I do see lots of white men telling me what black/female people experience, or denying what black/female people say black/female people experience.

So you never speak directly to them, but you most certainly speak for them. Im waiting for that moment when you realize that you're doing the exact thing that you are crusading against. I'm certain the realization will come, and frankly, I'm shocked it is taking so long.

aintnuthin that's gonna shock me. Aintnuthin!

Wrong on both counts. I listen to others, and speak only for myself.

What is this "exact thing"?
 
Alright, so realization isn't coming anytime soon, I guess.

Perhaps you can hurry it along with an example of when I didn't listen to woman's opinion of her own experience, or said I was was speaking for her?

This is no cop out, but seriously, what's the point?

That was my question to you. What do you think "exact thing" is that I'm doing and crusading against? Since you don't often respond reflexively in these discussions, I'm interested in what you think you are seeing that I am not.
