I'm here to say we need another 100 people chiming in with "get the fuck over it" because that really does help people get the fuck over it. Every time.

EVERYONE on this thread NEEDS to DESPERATLY watch and/or at the VERY least listen to Carlos Mencia. if we can't make fun of each other, we have lost our sense of humor and are taking life, but especially ourselves WAY to seriously.
If we accept each other and our differences and are able to laugh at one another, our short comings, our strengths and our differences, then we will prosper as humans and most likely reduce all the shit and hatred in the world.
Lighten up a bit everyone, this thread has gotten TOO serious. put yourself in the guys shoes, would your friends be laughing at you too if you were in the picture instead of him? I would be laughing at myself if it were me. we are all racist, prejudice, and/or judgemental to an extent. take that guy with the hot pink purse and lipstick on you saw sometime w/in the last few weeks, did you look at him funny? did you think what a freak he was? did you question him?
look beyond your fears and misunderstandings of others and realize we are VERY FUCKING LUCKY to be able to have these opinions and even MORE lucky be able to express them...
now comes the me being too touchy feely, sack up, etc. comments, eh?
TGR - the "R" stands for retarded.
Maybe this will help:

LMAO P4Brains. that is pretty much the sentiment starting to prevail
hehe, trying to preach a little tolerance and get told to get the fuck over it. :cussing:
I actually get that my views might be offensive, in fact I am sure they are, at least some of them. But those ideas that I KNOW might be offensive to some people, and can at least respect why they are, well, I try not to post those ideas much. Partly out of consideration, and partly out of desire to avoid a shitstorm.
Not surprising P_McPoser's pissed - he's prolly still worked up over "freeloading mexicans".
1. Responding to something that strikes you as really offensive is just being overly sensitive, and being sensitive is insensitive.
2. If you don’t take time to respond to everything that offends you then you waive your right to respond to anything that offends you.
3. Perceiving racism is racist.4. Talking about a race-related issue is “calling the race card.” If you’re African American don’t even say the word “race” because that is definitely “calling the race card.” Especially if you say “race” in a discussion about race. Whooo that’s really calling that card, you card-callers!Quote:

6. If a black person ever says something racist to you and you think “Hey, that was racist!” but you decide not to say anything racist back, you can still know that person would have called you racist if you had said anything racist. You can know this because she or he is black.
7. Slavery’s over therefore so is racism. Now shut up, show me your dental x-rays and three photo IDs, and I'll cash that check for you.
8. A couple of black people on TV have been making fun of white people! That means you can say all the racist stuff you want now!
9. Racist jokes are jokes, so they can’t be racist. Oh, and everyone is racist, so no one is racist.
10. This one time, a white person made fun of another white person because he couldn't get a tan. The second white person didn't cry even though the first white person made him feel bad. This story illustrates how there’s no racism left in the world.
I would agree with like 7 of those points. ;)
You forgot the all important ones:
11. if I perceive something as racist it must be so. Intent (or context) is irrelevant.
12. When such a slight is perceived the obvious answer is to call someone out publicly and gather the herd rather than privately to get to the truth.
Tipp- reread
13. Get the fuck over it.
14. Listen to CJ. In all things important.
I was going to post something in this very important thread but by the time I finished all 5 pages........ I was over it.
