I just think it's funny. I loved that video game. If you do why is it racist and if I were black would it still be so?
The people at something aweful made it.

Very very very funny ass site.
Fallout 07-04-2003, 05:23 PM If anyone has a problem with this I'll move it to the cage
I think its funny
The Ensanity 07-04-2003, 05:26 PM I find that funny
ruffneck119 07-04-2003, 05:28 PM Thanks guys. Hows your 4th going?
I really don't find it funny at all and I think it is racist. I don't really care if it's moved or not, that's not the point to me. It's a picture of a white guy, calling a black guy the N word. Racism is racism, if it's in a joking context or not is really a moot point to me.
The Ensanity 07-04-2003, 05:29 PM All right...I woke up
VulgarTheClown 07-04-2003, 05:30 PM Is that from an actual video game or did the sight edit the shot?

There is nothing wrong with calling someone a "racist" name as long as your joking and they are your friend. I have said some things to Adam about him being mexican and I get a lot of stuff back about being white and Canadian.
Some people are just too uptight. Worry and do something about real racism. People not getting jobs because of race. People getting beaten up because of the fact they are black.
Worry about that before you worry about a picture posted on an internet forum

1) My wife is black, and I've know her intire family for over 5 years. If I said the N word, in a joking manner, they would hardly find it funny.
2) I'm not uptight and I'm certainly not worried. I gave my opinion on the thread's topic. So before you start handing out instructions on how to erase racism and improve race relations get your facts straight.
3) I believe that racism is on a different level than other "evil" for lack of a better word. I can't murder, rape or assault you with words and images. But racism is different in that it can be committed through words, written or spoken and images.
4) If a black person, or any person for that matter, signs up to this forum today, and sees that pic, it may or may not offend them. If it does offend them, they may not return.
That's just my opinion, you don't have to like, but at least ****ing respect it.

Different people have different feelings. I am sure if Adam really hated me asking him if he likes picking strawberries he would of told me so. Insted, he asks me if I like hunting seals and fighting polar bears for my food.
Also, everyone makes racist comments. People rag on Canada all the time. Isn't that the same as someone dumping on mexicans or blacks?
VulgarTheClown 07-04-2003, 06:01 PM HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Creed thinks canadians are real people!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Canadian isn't a race, it's a nationality.
VulgarTheClown 07-04-2003, 06:02 PM French Canadians are not people wither
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
see how rediculous this all is.
p.s. white people are the downfall of the entire world
VulgarTheClown 07-04-2003, 06:03 PM white aint right
Fallout 07-04-2003, 06:04 PM but if I make fun of mexicans, thats different......why?
Isn't mexico a country?
VulgarTheClown 07-04-2003, 06:05 PM what is a churro?
Fallout 07-04-2003, 06:06 PM Its a mexican desert.
Part donut, part waffel and part cinniamon stick
VulgarTheClown 07-04-2003, 06:07 PM mmmmmmmm sounds tasty
Fallout 07-04-2003, 06:08 PM I wouldn't know, I am just going on what Adam and Curly have told me.
It sounds good though

Well, it is in the correct shape....and cream filled
So I guess that is an interesting use
Napol 07-04-2003, 07:20 PM okok..... u guys always just linger right off the subject. its too funny.
i think its funny, and yes i think its racist. its a racist funny joke. im not a racist person, but i have a very good sence of humor about races. u guys would die if u heard the way we all talk to each other. i think people are too uptight about it. we are not going to get all into this, it could go on forever, but its just a joke. it shouldnt matter if it was made against the white races, black, mexicans, asians, or whatever the ****. its a joke. plain and simple.
i make fun of white people all the time, i think its fun to do.
I dont find that picture funny tho, i dunno.
How bout if it said Cracka just stole my bike? I dont have a problem with that.
Curly Howard 07-04-2003, 07:42 PM IMMEDIATE BANNING
RACIAL/ RELIGIOUS SLURS. No racial or religious slurs. This includes the forum known as "the cage". If you can't think of anything else to say to someone then you don't need to post anything here

Anything you want my friend
lightweight 07-04-2003, 07:51 PM Just want to say I could see what creed was saying about nationality, and I think if we're going to get bothered over race jokes, nationality jokes aren't that far off. Canada may not be the best example because we're a big melting pot, but if jokes were made about people in places like Mexico, Brazil, Africa, Germany, Russia, Ireland etc etc they'd pretty much be race jokes too because it's who they are ie racist.
Curly Howard 07-04-2003, 08:04 PM Look you people keep talking about "what about cracka" and ****. or we're Mexican and we call each other bla bla bla. It's not the same.Technically it is but when a white person calls a black person a N***** it's as low as you can get. White people treated blacks like **** until the late 70s and some still do. How would you feel if you couldn't use the same bathrooms or eat at the same restaurants. The word N***** represents those times.
It represents the hate. Zen lives in Ten and I live in Mo. It still runs wild here. My best friend is in a mixed marriage and so was he. I can't speak for Zen but I still hear **** my friend goes through just because he fell in love with a woman who happened to be black. I can't believe I have to say this in an MMA forum.
Fallout 07-04-2003, 09:27 PM I think the fact its a form says something. We all call each other names, some of them racist yes.....but look at who has been banned.
Miller and Rigid. I think the people here are very good at drawing the line between a joke between friends and racism
