Nigger Crap

a black joke and a nigger joke are two different things. i don't mind black jokes, hey, i make some myself, but nigger...now thats has cross the limit. its not even a joke. there's a difference between a joke and a racists statement. its an offensive word that should not ever be repeated. im multiracial, and have never been called the n word but i have been called mulatto, high yellow, pee, etc. i don't understand how some ppl can be so ignorant. he should be lucky that this is over the internet. one can just imagine what the outcome could have been if this was in public. blacks make black jokes to each other. once another race especially whites start cracking some jokes, then its no longer a joke.

This statement reeks with racism. Or is racism to white people ok in your book.

so it's ok for blacks to make joke to blacks about whites, but when whites make jokes to whites about blacks its wrong...............how do you figure that without predjudice against whites.
I feel humour about race, religion is only ok when it is in good taste with humourous intent. regardless of race,colour of the teller

 

My congratulations to Orleander on this post.
It's something on the site that I was repelled by when joining, and has not bothered me since, simply because I have been hiding my head in the sand.

When do offensive "jokes" become unacceptable?

In the workplace, it is unnacceptable when a person feels intimidated by them,
or for some reason relating to the comment, is less able to to their job well.
Employers are pretty hot on it because it costs them money.

When do offensive jokes become unacceptable on sciforums?

As I've said before, I quickly stopped looking at the section because I didn't like the atmosphere there. Hateful. The posts that Oleander has linked to may be particularly offensive, but why were they not deleted?

We have voted on racism before, let's vote on "jokes" that talk in terms of "niggers"

 

Richard pryor was one of my favourite comedians, his nigger jokes were well funny, a word which has been evolved by black people to a modern term meaning different things , and as black culture is embraced it becomes used as an everyday word.
is the problem with....
A non-black person saying the word.
The context the word is used.
The fear of reviving memories of slavery days.
The history of the word.
the actual word 'nigger'.
or the way the usage will be percieved?

 

engaging politically correct idiots. it has nothing to do with what you just said.

 

So, no nigger jokes? Is that what you're saying? What about Pollock jokes? Or Jew jokes? Or, whatever?

The title of the thread was "the most offensive jokes ever", so I don't really understand why everyone is so, um, offended.

I might also add that we really should change the name of this thread if we're worried about offending potential new members. It's one thing to have an offensive jokes thread that tells jokes involving the word "nigger"; it's another to have a section entiltled NIGGER CRAP in the main forum. I think that is way more offensive to potential members than a joke thread.

Sure, if they click on the thread they'll see that it's about someone being offended by the nigger jokes, but if you just end up here thru a goggle search and see a thread titled NIGGER CRAP, what are you going to think? Especially when it's under Ethics, morality and justice! You're going to think you've stumbled upon some white supremist website, that's what.

 

You are right. I have been thinking the same thing. The poster who originally made the thead was so concerned with "Offensive Jokes" thread.
I don't understand all the fuss about this either. I think the title of the thread OFFENSIVE pretty much sums it up. If you are easily offended don't read them.

But then turns around and makes a thread called NIGGER CRAP.....As Madanthony has said, it really doesn't make much sense :shrug:

 

don't miss a single opportunity, do you?

 

Listen.....Stop harrassing me! and Trolling.

Did you say anything to any other members here who also finds this thread pointless?

The thread is pointless and Mad and Anti flag made the same points I was thinking myself.

 

Can you NOT tell the difference?

Well, I guess you make your own point about not reading the topic. See #10 for my summary, or, here, let me make it easier for you:

You know, so you don't have to trouble yourself to actually click on the link.

Or consider Invert's take on the issue:

Can you tell the difference between sharing some of the stupidest and most offensive stuff you've encountered in your day and being downright mean-spirited? Or does the difference confuse you?

An interesting consideration. I bet it's really offensive to the people who want to complain about how offensive it is without reading it.

Well, I was thinking to change the title to "Nigger Shit", but that's even worse.

But when I run a Google search, you are the top result: "It's one thing to have an offensive jokes thread that tells jokes involving the word "nigger"; it's another to have a section entiltled NIGGER CRAP in the ..."

Thank you for clearing that up for the people who might stumble across the thread.

Of course, the search also led me to one of our old friends complaining at another board about someone who "invaded his privacy" by running his name/user ID through a search engine and dredging up some Sciforums-related crap.

So, all-in-all, that venture wasn't a total waste. Not only have you helped protect Sciforums' good name, you've also provided some entertainment.

Nothing unexpected there.

 

You're being a bit unfair here. I never defended Norsefire's specific "jokes". I completely agree that most of them weren't even jokes. I was speaking in defense of the thread in general.

Fraggle made a big deal about possibly offending potential new members. I think having a thread titled NIGGER CRAP in the main forum is far more offensive to a casual observer than some idiotic jokes in a thread titled "offensive jokes".

I would suggest something on the order of Overly Offensive Jokes.

No longer true. I'm down to number 3! Number 1 is:
Wolf Folklore Collection: Nigger Crap Game (I Got Mine)http://www.lyon.edu/wolfcollection/songs/blairnigger1239.html

Happy to be of service. I just hope this post doesn't put me back at number one on google!

 

This and that

Fair 'nuff. I just felt the notion of offense we were dealing with was more specific than the thread in general.

Also, I'm guessing I ran a more specific search. At any rate, though, I intend to let this topic run its course, and when the time comes that I need to get out my green hat, it will be shuffled off to the Cesspool. I figure it's only a matter of time.

 

not the case
community standards prevents that
fuck the tos
ostracization is feared by most

 

Fraggle, you are kidding yourself, the section is a relic.
If the student showed mom the jokes that Orleander posted, would mom be less shocked?

I can see the objection that the taboo is half the problem, but where do you draw the line?
Richard Prior advanced the cause of Blacks by making fun of the taboo on the word nigger
but he never insinuated that the black members of his audience were dirty, smelly or subhuman
which seems to be the point of some of the "jokes" on sciforum.

This is old stuff that anyone with any sense should have ditched long ago.

 

when it is a joke?! dunno some people should prolly lighten up....or not

the laid back people usualy do no harm.....its the totaly serious that start to mess things up
