Nigger Crap

Is there a difference between offensive and repulsive? I think these cross that line. Is it unethical to have them on this forum?
Why is this stuff allowed on this forum? Is it because its Cesspooled?

You should read the whole thread. Its not called offensive jokes for no reason.

Its repulsive!!!! Does my continuing to post in this forum show my support of that kind of thing?

I don't think it should be allowed to stay in that thread for the same reason that pornographic images used for jokes probably wouldn't be allowed stay.

 

Exactly!!!

 

Only if you consider your posts to be cesspool material.

I don't read stuff in the cesspool as a rule.

 

I'm sure if I looked I'd find some anti-Arab or anti-Semitic jokes anyway that's why it's called "the most offensive jokes".

As Q would tell you, it's perfectly acceptable and you should just ignore it

since when is racism acceptable? Since when should it be ignored?

 

When it is titled "Most offensive jokes". Haven't you ever read any offensive joke books?

 

It's up to you, and other notes

Up to you. Personal theories on that point vary.

A couple of points here:

• The difference between offensive and repulsive is subjective.

• Stuff like that is allowed in large part because it's in the Cesspool and we tend to not monitor that forum as much as we should.

• There is a low-key debate ongoing between moderators over whether we should even have a Cesspool in the first-place, and also whether topics in the Cesspool should be left open or locked.​

For the record, I'm an advocate of keeping the Cesspool and locking those topics. The "Offensive Jokes" thread was cute in its day, and I posted one of my favorite racist jokes in there; I still can't tell it without laughing. However, once it was deemed worthy of the Cesspool, it should have been locked and similar topics should have met the same fate in as soon as they sprouted.

One of the reasons I would argue against eliminating those posts from the record is that they are an historical record. If nothing else, the Cesspool topics are a general reminder about the depravity of the human condition and a specific testament to the stupidity of some people. The posts you've pointed out are a perfect example of both. I mean, they're not even creative jokes. Nor are they low exploitations of the obvious°. And the author has to stop to "LOL" at himself.

If you must be offended, there's nothing I can do to stop you. But I would encourage you to regard that topic and its contents for exactly what it is: a sad reminder of the human condition.

Notes:

° low exploitations of the obvious — My favorite racist joke is included in post # 10 in that topic. (The punch line is included in #14.) While the cruelty of the joke is what makes me laugh, the thing is an exploitation of the obvious. Given certain terms extant in the culture, it was only a matter of time before someone got around to writing that joke. I learned it about 1987-88. (It was included on a page of jokes circulating around my junior high school; I should still have, somewhere, that very piece of paper.) I figure the joke had been around for a while before I found it. It's too obvious.

 

Ask Q that.

 

yeah, I grew up hearing polack jokes. I've heard dumb blonde jokes. I've heard black jokes. I've heard jew jokes. I've heard dead baby jokes. But I have walked away from any person who ever told a nigger joke or a sand nigger joke.

There's a difference. It may be a fine line, but its not one I'm willing to step over.

 

What's the difference?

Also sand nigger is not a true term because it merely applies a terrain to the word "nigger". I could argue that Russians are snow niggers and Brazilians are forestniggers.

 

You're not entirely wrong. There is a difference between laughing with and laughing at. And sometimes its a fine line.

According to a TV show on the topic:

The way I see it, the purpose of a Cesspool thread on offensive jokes is for some guys to have a laugh that is not really PC. Not to offend anyone.

 

Exactly........and remember, Orleander, that the Black population needs to help eliminate the racism themselves. In case you haven't noticed, the N word is repeated constantly IN THEIR OWN SPEECH.

 

<whiiiiiiiine> "He gets to, why can't I? Its not fair!" <whiiiine>
racist fool.
<on ignore>

 

What? I am simply saying that if the Black population want to help eliminate racism, they shouldn't be hypocrites.

 

Yes, so please stop posting!

I am easily offended so I don't read that thread...

He's a moron.

OTOH, such jokes do project prejudice very well, doncha think?

For example, these jokes tell me that to this particular guy, Muslim is synonymous with Middle Eastern Arab stereotype.

People give away a lot about themselves from the kind of jokes they think are funny.
