let me explain something to you real quick...
i have worked with an inner city population, dealing with nearly 100% minority familes and at risk youth for quite a few years now... i have worked hand in hand with these families and communities helping to provide support and valuable resources... i shake hands and sit down and talk with guys that most people are afraid of and lock their doors when they pull up next to them... i have walked through the projects stopping to speak with people i know and going into their homes and sitting down with them and sharing a cup of coffee trying to help them with their out of control kids... i have provided help and service to my local inner city minority population, and have chosen that as my career when i could be working for one of the many banks in my area making triple what i do calling nice folks like you and offering you more credit then you need. i made a conscious decision to help people, to help at risk youth, and that has lead me to mostly help my local minoroty community.
so i dont want to hear any dumb stuff about "bigots"... i have put my money where my mouth is sister, how about you? or do you lock the door when you pull up next to a group of young black males, then come home and type about other people being bigots?
so please spare me the holier than thou over the top super pc police crap... and please refrain from labeling me a bigot because i said black people dont tip well. if you worked in a profession that relied on tips you would know that is true for the most part. thats doesnt make them inferior, they just dont tip well. that was even my friends response when we confronted him about the poor tip, he siad staright up "black people dont tip"... i guess you never heard of BPT either? it is Black Person Time... which means they are always late... my black friends at work joke about it all the time, becasue they know the shit is true.
thats why dave chappelle, chris rock, eddie murphy, richard pryor, and red foxx are so funny... because they cut through the pc crap and tell the truth through comedy. they get away with it because they are black.
trust me, i am far from a racist or bigot. anyone that knows me, knows that is the truth. but i am also not oblivous to reality0 -

so you rail against stereotypes... then stereotype that all black people come from a "background and culture of sever poverty" and thats why they dont tip???
whats up with that?
ps... the friend of mine... comes from a middle class up bringing and has never come from a background of poverty0 -

If you are reading that I feel that I am holier than thou than that is your own problem.
You have no idea...so let it go.Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

I have nothing against you at all.
I am not talking about being smarter than someone.
I am just sick of people trying to get a laugh at someone else's expense. Especially for something they believe in.
Why is it that I have to be called a douche and this and that and be told to fuck off because I am speaking my mind?
These are the same people that were probably hollering about the A T &T incident.
I don't understand. And it makes me sad that people think that way.
I am done.Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

Exactly. I've read through this thread. All she's done is tried to explain her point of view & said that (gasp!) she doesn't find jokes based on race to be particularly funny. And for that she gets called names, told to shut the fuck up & to stop posting. If the OP didn't want varying opinions maybe they shouldn't have posted this on a, oh I don't know, a DISCUSSION board. :-/0 -
TrixieCat wrote:Wow, you know me that well??? I have lots of credit cards and lock my doors when black people are around at night? You are a piece of work. You don't know where I have lived, where I do, what I do. Nothing. And I don't feel the need to explain anything for you. If you were nice about it, sure, we could talk about it and maybe have a couple of laughs.
If you are reading that I feel that I am holier than thou than that is your own problem.
You have no idea...so let it go.
you called me a bigot... so i had to call you out on your bullshit. fair is fair.
and no i dont know you... and i wasnt being mean at all... and i didnt assume you lock your doors, i asked if you do, because honestly that is what hypocrites act like. "i am not racist, i have black friends" then when a couple of young black guys walk by them in the mall they get uptight and clutch their purse... i am not just going to sit back and have someone who doesnt even know me call me a racist/bigot. i have no problem with you, and i respect your pc approach... but you cant be a hypocrite and generalize me as a bigot because i said blacks dont tip? see the problem with that?0 -

It just is not right to me. And it makes me sad. I think it is funny that you said the whole "I am not a racist, i have black friends" line. I can't stand when people say that. I even cringe when someone is telling me a story and they have to mention that the guy was black or the girl was from India. I don't care.
I apologize for lumping you in. I didn't mean any harm to you.Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

which only proves that you're missing the point of this thread as well. for me to politely give a shit about her opinion would be to be PC, and this is THE ANTI-PC THREAD. see, it says so right there at the very top. can't miss it."Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, Barack Obama."

TrixieCat wrote:I don't give a shit what your first post said.
None.
No shit.
Couldn't give a shit.
Debbie Downer??? That was cute.
I won't get into a personal debate with you here because I would rip you to shreds.
Again, you sure do know how to have fun.
for someone who's so touchy-feely, you sure are cranky. are you on the rag this week?
and giving a shit about the first post is also known as staying on topic."Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, Barack Obama."

So put it on your personal website & block comments so no one can argue w/ you. Like I said, it's a discussion board. Did you really think people who didn't agree would stay out? That's a little naive.0 -

no, but the point here is to HAVE FUN. hence the big GRIN next to the thread title. do you actually think deb's having fun? she seems awful grouchy for a gal who's looking for a laugh.
maybe she needs to get laid. m2h, maybe you can help her out w/that."Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, Barack Obama."

And last I checked the rules of the board still applied no matter what you labeled your thread. There's no need to be so rude to someone just b/c they have a different opinion.0

I didn't think any theads on A Moving Train were supposed to be fun. You should've put this in AET if that was the point :-/0 -

no harm at all.
here is another one...
white men can't jump and white people can't dance
it is true for the most part, and the funny thing is i wont catch any flack for that since it is about white people. the double standard bothers me as much as the non pc bothers you.
if a white guy got up and did chris rocks standup bit he would be labeled a racist...but since he is a black guy it is ok. i find that double standard to be offensive.
and again, i really dont think i have read anything too bad in this thread that i would call blatant racism.
this whole thing reminds me of bill cosby and the shit he got for his remarks. he was DEAD ON ACCURATE, yet was called out by the pc police. more people like bill cosby need to speak the truth and help break down the walking on egg shells race realtions we have in this country0 -

So, yes, it is fun.
actually, i've barely said anything to you, except in the very beginning and just now, telling you that you're being a pain in the ass. i certainly never called you a douche. though remember that douches can be very useful, just not when they're overused. then they can cause a nasty rash."Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, Barack Obama."
