Yeah ha ha and he didn´t say neither I know where your bed sleeps and where your house is living
ha ha, ya thats true!
[:(!] that is really ignorant. [V] WTF??
Namaste,
its nice to share humor with people...i understand that. but when that humor is gained at anothers expense....really, mustardseed, there are so very many unsaid assumptions within the subtext of your "joke" that it really is disgusting. maybe on a conscious level, you meant no harm nor offense, but please think about this...that what you stated in essence, is that because many people of african descent within the united states speak in a manner indicative of illiteracy and ignorance; and the joke is that they are even "non-divine" because there is a link(within the context of the assumptions of the joke)between their(as a stereotyped "black" people)ignorance and how they are unlike God. I can totally dig really intense religious jokes, jokes about death, maiming, torture...hell, I can have a really dark sense of humor when I choose...but IMHO it is intelligent. Humor that pokes fun of stereotypes by creating a context in which that stereotype is exemplified by a character within the joke is quite fine....but the joke you told there is no context but to indicate by induction that blacks are not like god. let me know what you think, namaste
OK I will tell you what I think my friend. I think that you and people in general should lighten up . I should have known I would offend someone with this. This to be is POLITICAL CORRECTNESS and you know what, it sucks. So I was gonna take it off when I read your post but you know, I will just let it sit for a while to see what turns up. Maybe I will get a "nose" from the moderator maybe I will be flamed or whatever lets see. Anyone else who wanna take a potshot go ahead[;)]Lets hear your Humour. Maybe you are Indian I notice you say Namaste. Ham bohot hindi janta hey. Ab kessa hey bai.Got any good hindi Jokes. In the meantime here is one about me
3 guys were in a bar bragging one from USA one from South america and one from Europe. American says " man we got nice women in the US of A I tell you boy most guys in our country can reach around his babes waist with his hands (shows hands with fingertips touching ) and you know what its not cause we have big hands, but our women have such slim waists.
The South american thinks hard. Well body in South America our women can sit on a barstool and their feet touch the ground no problem, and its not cause we have low barstools, but our women have such slender long legs.
The european thinks very hard takes a swallow of beer and says. Well when we go to work in the morning we slap our women in their behind with affection and when we come home its all still vibrating, and its not course our women have fat behinds but we're in the union and have a very short workday.
So there I did one about myself is that better or will I have to outlaw all jokes about peinguins dogs cats horses barkeepers whites blacks latins women men .
What do you think

Geez, Shadowdancer, get over it!
It's like you want to feel offended. I had a similar version of Mustardseed's joke told to my by a person of the "dark skinned" persuasion. He thought it was a great joke! It's like the best Irish jokes I've heard were told to me by an Irishman! I love hearing a good Aussie joke and I don't feel offended by them because I recognise them as being an exageration of stereotypes.
ALL humor and comedy is at someone elses expense. Think about every joke or every visual gag you've ever seen. There is always someone on the recieving end. Its the way humor works.
James.
Well, Shadowdancer I am (Politicaly Correct) African-American, and I do not take offense to this at all, I actually see the humor in this. Come to think of it though I never thought of god as(Politicaly Correct) African-American or(Politicaly Correct) Caucasian I always thought of him as an entity, a being of light. Shadowdancer lighten up a little bit.[:D][8D][:D]
Namatste,
Maybe you are just not so good at telling jokes, Mustardseed? [:P] Seriously though, please accept my apologies for being so aggressive, I certainly could have expressed my views with a bit more clarity. As far as that goes, I don't agree with any of you. For me, it is not a matter of "political correctness"...the use of such a term is part and parcel of the kind of socialized and conditioned relating that we all participate on one level of conscious awareness or on levels of subsconscious motivation. These levels of imprinting run far deeper that most people are aware of. And Shadow, being african-american really doesn't mean much to me. And that is the point, it really didn't have much to do with race per se, that caught my attention, and I am very serious in saying that it is very possible that I would not have decided anything was there to see if the joke was told in a different way. What got to me was, it seemed to me, and still very much does, is the extreme unawareness of the contexts....how things relate and connect....No hard feelings I hope? Namaste Ya'll [:)]
What does Namaste mean?
Mustardseed, go join the KKK if you're gonna be a racist pig, aright? That joke sucks.

lol noleafclover!!!! That is funny. As for the people who are getting upset- read other topics! This was joke, and no one should take offense, thats why this world is so bad, but good. Because some people can't sit down and think about a joke. Have a nice Day :)

Amen to that! I find laughing at myself provides me with the most amusement [:D]
Yeah, everything is funny "but" . . . .none of the black people I have ever known - - seriously, I mean this - - - ever spoke this way. Not even the ones who don't speak English very well - - actually, the overseas blacks seem to speak the Kings English much better than I do.
So not only was it supposed to be a racist joke, I didn't even GET IT.
Perhaps that should be a sign for us that we've transcended our racism . . . we just don't get the jokes anymore.
Now joke about racists . . . THEY'RE funny. Let's stereotype and slam them instead, they deserve it.

I didnt expect the union ending, but it wasnt funny. They dont work as long as the others. So what?
Here Tish:
Two African American males were walking down the street one day when they noticed a sign in a shop window that said "Be White for a Day $5"
One of the young men turns to his friend and asks, "What do you think?" The friend replies, "Sounds weird...let's give it a try and see what it's like to be White for a day." The friends check their wallets. One of the young men does not possess the required $5 while the other has a $10 bill. The young black man with the $10 bill says to his friend, "Hey, I'll go in and get it done, then come out and give you the change. We'll both be white for a day." The other young black male agrees, stands outside the shop, and waits as his friend is being turned into a white male for one day.
A few minutes later, the young black male stares in disbelief as his friend comes out of the shop, turned completely white for one day. he runs up to his friend and starts tugging on his arm saying, "Wow, come on, give the $5, I wanna be White for a day too." The newly made, but temporary white male slaps away his friend's hand and says, "Get away from me you lazy hooligan. You want $5, get a job!"
I could've posted something showing why it's necessary to show empathy to others. I don't think it would've worked.
I'm white, and skin color does not determine who we give compassion to and who we don't. Some people are sensitive to "politically incorrect jokes" because no one takes their suffering or indiginity seriously...just a big joke.
The suffering of another person and their need for respect is not a joke, and I am not laughing.
Thank you for showing me that most of you are White for more than a Day.
Immature & racist. It is offensive. To say "just a joke" is still an insult.

How is it everyone is so worried about offending non-yellows?
I mean seriously people racism is racism regardless of teh victims color. fat,beer guzzling,yellow people are human too regardless of how we feel about them!
I will also point out that it is not the majority of yellow people that are oppressors. Most have families, jobs, dreams, etc that matter to them and are struggling the same way that purples, greens, blues, are in this world that can't seem to handle a rainbow of cultures.
Xander
No offense to anyone that stated otherwise, but steriotypes exist because a vast majority of a race or religion has done something so damn stupid and stuck to the steriotype, or continue to support it, that people will steriotype FIRST as a result.
I don't steriotype anymore personally after a weird encounter with a religious black man. Steriotyping doesn't make you a racist/anti-sematic/sexist/ect, it makes you ignorant to the fact NOT all people are alike.
To join in the fun though: A quote from Dogma
"YEAH YEAH, A BLACK GUY CAN STEAL YOUR STERIO BUT HE CAN'T BE YOUR LORD AND SAVOR!?"-Chris Rock, the *13th* apostle
Humor is of course a matter of perspective, as most things are in the context of being human. I don't laugh at many jokes myself, it needs to be a real rib splitter before I'll even chuckle a bit.
I hate political corectness too. It's actually the opposite of what it's meant to be, as is affirmative action, etc. Anything race based (or gender, etc) is just stupid and doesn't belong in politics, it belongs in a catalog of common sense.
Simply think of what you say before you say it. If you think it will offend after some consideration, REWORD it! Gods! You can say anything to anyone without being insulting, it's all in the wording.
While we're on the PC topic...sorta...I find the whole xxxxxx-American thing to be COMPLETELY stupid. Most Americans are mutts. I am....however I am American FIRST. I allow NOBODY to tag me with a prefix to the title "American". It's nice to be able to trace your geneology back to another (or several) countries, and in many cases it's a big part of you culturally, but it makes no difference at all what color you are, what gender you are....if you are American, say you're American.
Finally, one should never be offended by another's ignorance...take it for what it is, let them know their ignorance is hanging out, and move on.[;)]
You Rasist Black guy you. That was a horrible joke about white folks!!!. I would have you know that there are many of us whites who does give poor black kids money when they aproach us at the stoplights. Are you insinuating that we do not. Rasism thats what it is thats all I say. Just the other day a black guy came to my door begging for food, and suddenly he got down on his knees and started eating grass, my wife thought it was a way of shaming me and showing us he was hungry, but I saw that look on his face, he liked it and I am a generous man so I told him I didn't mind if he went out behind the house by the japaneese water garden, the grass is much higher back there. [;)] White folks also have feelings for the lesser blessed individuals.
Hey,
Ya never hear of a black man refuting the stereo-type of them all haveing HUGENESS!!!!!!! WOOTAH~!
And really, haven't any of you had an asian friend pretend that they know Kung-fu when they really don't in a sticky situation? Shoot, i've pretended to know kung-fu!
PC has got to be the WORST invention ever.
I'm a skinny, balding, white dude in my early 20's. Give me your best shot!
God bless,
PF
Mustardseed, hahahahahahahaha hah aha hha. That was very generous!
HE HE WHAT A LOAD BOLLOCKS[xx(]

While I agree with the above statement, am I the only one who finds it a little sad...? [B)] For me, this "humor" is more like "feeling superior by putting/seeing someone down"... an ego problem...
But, honestly, I sometimes do make fun of people too, myself included... I am working on it. Honestly, I don't know what to think about humour/jokes...
I thought the joke was all the people showing they have a sense of humor by chastising people who were offended by the joke.
Hey James glad wencha likes racist jokes. Shows shes cool. Like mustard seed. If the joke wasn't so lame you might have had a point.
Hope you're all doing well. I miss the funny jokes written by people more offended by PC stuff like not calling gays evil and trying not to make fun of blacks.
sorry but the joke was lame.. the people trying to show they are advanced by being able to laugh even lamer. thank god theres probably only one african american that reads this board.. at the most.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Oh hell, really you guys used to have discussions like this?
I love how these old topics are backwards and messed up. I got to read a lot of responses before I finally got to read the actual original post, haha.
Am I the only one who thought the joke and stereotyping was on white people?
Oh my god but I've met many people just like this, not all of them white either, LOL!
Okay Xanth you can shoot me now for dragging this one back up. (smiling sweetly) :-)
Yeah I remember stuff like this. The Pulse was way wackier back then, lol. I think part of it may have been the early internet, and part of it was that this was before the split with Robert Bruce. A lot of the wackiness left with him, lol.
The pendulum swayed past equilibrium. Potential energy goes up. Kinetic energy goes down.

15 years, wow. 8-)
I'm not his fan either but poor Mr Bruce. Let's blame him for everything now which we don't like (is he Russian?) since he's not on here to defend himself. Easy game.
:wink:
I think he is a really cool guy actually, and one of the first I read in the field from the contemporary authors. I do think he fostered a lot of unhealthy ideas, and used his status as an expert to build a small cult in some senses, hehe.
That tends the happen in this field naturally to some extent though too.
ROTHFLMAO!!!!

Who wants to be the first Xanthian!?!? :) :-D 8-) :evil:
Light beam made that post a few years back where she went to see God . The God she saw was more many colors and energy . Not a human image that is written of in the Bible .My guess is that this post was stated by some goof ball in 2003 that had nothing else to do . I remember a post started on hell , that I made a real post out of . I remember a few on s.f. that English was a secount lang. the post was more of a not fully understanding English problem .

Where's the sense of humour gone today? It may just be taxable, that nailed it, don't be cross God, oh dear that one wasn't you.
It's funny how God is projected in human form. It's so far from the truth. The source is the creator of all and we humans can never understand the inherent complexities in simply communicating with it.

If we could move away far enough from our universe and look at it from a distance... THAT would be the form of humanity. hehe
I'm pretty literal, so here's my two cents for what it's worth. I just can't resist.
For the prople who believe in God --> "God" would be a spirit, so I seriously doubt he even has skin. He would be a being of light.
However " the man Jesus" was an Arab. Neither black nor white. Nearly everyone in that area has black hair and a black beard with brown skin... :-o I have always thought it funny he has been depicted as a blonde.

Your 2 cents are worth nil: one is ridiculous, the other is incorrect.
With the racist undertones of this entire thread... I'm just gonna let this one die a slow death. :)
