PACQUIAO Fans' Behaviour is Criticized....

If I told you were a rice eater in a negative way and you were White, big deal right?

If I told you, you were a rice eater in a negative way and you were Asian, the connotation changes, does it not?

If I said George W. Bush looked like a monkey, I'd probably get laughs from a lot of people, since George Bush monkey face pictures were in circulation right?

If I said ***** looked like a monkey, the connotation changes, does it not?

Sorry, but you can't tell people to take thing's at face value if a word or meaning has historical connotations behind why it is used

How do you plan to overcome racism if you keep holding on to the past?
Learn how to read in context rather than out. With the monkey example, I can call everyone monkey but not blacks? I can call everyone rice eater but not asians?
It's really not hard to differentiate racist remarks from not, what I'm saying is for us to stop being so sensitive at all times and act like racism police.

Here is an example, that I thought was pretty clever...
Blacks refers to other black friends as their "N1gg@"... that's actually a positive word in that context.
Now the term, got a new meaning as a male friend, popular in the urban environment even to non-blacks.

But if someone were to hear a non-black refer to their black friends as that word, without listening to the entire context of the conversation, becomes labeled as racist. Agree?

The difference is that they get banned and rightfully so. Unfortunately though, there is a double standard. There's a poster(probably an alt) named fefilum(sp) that openly uses the N word fully spelled out and calls blacks low IQ monkeys. Even puts it in his sig. The funny thing is that he has never been banned which says a lot.

This is a HUGE understatement.

Me, Reed and alot of other people reported him. Don't understand how he's still able to post.

Please.



Are you seriously trying to play that card?



That applies to only a genuine minority of cases.



When the "monkey" comments are attached to derogatory descriptions of African features, as is often the case, what benefit of the doubt is there?

If you read my other post, you'll see that I tried to make a point about the use of "racial" slurs in the right context...
In the right context, using those words shouldnt be classified as racist.
The problem is, even if you don't intend it to be racist, people will read beyond what you said and think that you are being racist.

So is there no more proper context when putting a sentence together with a black person and monkey in the same sentence? To me, that right there is racist.

Double standards. Bottom line is no poster would last here saying those types of things against Pacquiao, Pinoys, or his fans. That's a fact. The fact that Fefilum(sp) has never been banned speaked volumes.

Yes he is. I was going to respond to him but decided it was a waste of time. In the real world he would never call a black person a monkey and try to rationalize it. He knows better. He's playing dumb over the internet because truthfully he condones that type of stuff.

At some point, the poster just says something and you realize that he thinks he's racist (ie. thinks Blacks are inferior, etc.) but he's just really ****ing ****** .

I would like for you to come up with a better plan.
You act like only blacks were persecuted... Do you know how many Chinese died on the hands of the Japanese?
Do you ever hear any recentment to japan from china?
