Where is the appology?

Father is Lebanese.

Mother comes from a long line of Missouri Scotish Hillbillies.

That makes me an Osama Bubba.

My white half appologizes.

That's a very well put post, dude :clap:

Dad's side is Scot apparently, and also some French Hugenot

Mom's side is Swiss/English

We've been in America for over 200 years and I don't know a damn thing about my "heritage" other than the American side of it - which there is a rich tradition.

I have relatives that were Colonels in the Civil War and my cousin was Woodrow Wilson's interpreter at the Treaty of Versailles.

I hate all the stupid combo names. It's time that being an American meant an American first - geesh

look up the antonyms for diversity.

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

This country is still very young.

For sure. I remember watching "Future Shock" in a middle school history class. One tenet was that after the blending of races to form a somewhat light brown race among everyone, people would eventually paint themselves different colors to be distinctive.

I believe we've come a heck of a long way, yet still have a lot to leave behind.

I'm a descendent of well-to-do pasta merchants.

and your reasoning is ???? racist.

And Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind.

Gee, that was only mildly ignorant.
To be frank, I'm more insulted at how lame a jab that was.

A better question would be where did I accuse you of wearing such blinders?

What I'm trying to say is that you're surprisingly well spoken. Congratulations on your high school education. That's something with which you can aspire to greatness in case you don't make the NBA or into JayZ's posse.

LMAO

Phobia is rolling today

Native American..English..Irish..mixed-breed I guess.....

I suppose you're waiting for a knee-jerk response?

I've been kissed harder by schoolgirls.
I'm unshaken by your commentary Phobia.

Ignorance is constantly on display in my world.

The identification of cultural differences is not divisive. That's the least of our worries in American society.

Dude, I'm not racist. I have black friends. At least I think they're black. They listen to rap and drink from a 40, so I think they count technically.

FYP

The courage it must take to lob such ignorance around BEHIND A PC...

If you're ever interested in having this conversation in a more public setting I know more than a few gentlemen who'd oblige you in such a discussion.

100 posts, and not a single reference to Stripes?

Would it be more courageous to lob such ignorance in front of a PC?

No thanks. Somebody might see us.

Hey Micjones,

I like just about everybody, dude. I don't make judgements of people over something as trivial as their skin color (excepting asian drivers).

I'm just pushing buttons with you on this thread. I've seen some very enlightening comments from you and have actually responded to them privately.

Apparently Phobia's not holding a monopoly on corny.

The disclaimer.

"I'm really not a bigot. I just get off on being racially insensitive here and there."

Honestly, it's of no consequence to me.
I was merely trying to shed light on the overall discussion.

I'm probably as bigoted as the next guy, though I think I've improved significantly in the past decade or thereabouts.

I like jerking people's chains. I had fun jerking yours. You had some very strong opinions. Thanks for sharing them. Welcome to the Planet.

You're not jerking my chain whatsoever pal.

Whenever I'm faced with such ignorance it's never surprising...It's just Wednesday.

I appreciate the warm welcome all the same though.

I'm a straight up ******, ya'll betta' recognize.
Now can I get government paid college tuition and preferential treatment in the job market based on the very characteristic by which I claim I wish not to be judged?

Dude, if you were a fish you'd be hanging on my wall right now.

I don't actually feel the way I've posted on this thread. That was just me being silly. It's what I do.

I find it amusing that you apparently have a penchant for outing ignorance while the person you are accusing of being ignorant is just being silly. You would know that if you weren't ignorant to Phobia's MO.

Anyway, do you like monkeys? Would you like to buy a monkey?

You're under 25, yes?

AA blasts now?
That's the best you can do?

I'd pull the skirt up on that one too, but what's the point?

If you say so.

And again, Phobia...
It makes no difference to me.

I quite honestly have trouble reconciling your commentary as just humor, but ultimately I won't lose sleep over it anyway.

It's painfully obvious that I don't know Phobia personally.
Thing is, I don't find racial insensitivity funny.

Giving a new poster a hard time does not have to include such bigoted commentary...I'm sorry, but if you're prepared to come to the defense of such behavior...Have at it.

No.

Who are you? You seem a bit out of place. Here, let me introduce you to some people you might be less hostile and bitter towards: Denise, Adept, Jaz, et al I'd like you to meet Al Sharpton.

Now you're just trying to jerk my chain. Dude, you can't trick the master.

You're right... I am out of place.
I'm used to having conversations with much more intelligent people.

Do you have a favorite comedian? If so, who is it?

And, what about the monkeys?

I'm not playing a game here Phobia.

I think this is Hamas reborn.

I agree. White people used to be much smarter.

I'd have to say Dave Chappelle.

And you find him funny?

You missed your calling.
Humor is definitely one of your longsuits.

Except for the parts where he mocks people because of their color or shows racial insensitivity for the sake of humor.
Oh, wait............

It will certainly be a shame if you can't get past some silliness and continue to bring your enlightened opinion to our community. At least I got a few laughs out of it. I don't care whether you did or not.

Hilarious actually.

it happens to the best of us

Is he ever racially insensitive?

I'm from Caprica.

I like monkeys, but I don't wish to purchase one.

All of the sudden I find myself bored to the point of napping.

Dave Chappelle has a platform.
His show ran on Comedy Central for crying out loud.

It should be noted that he eventually left the show because he felt as the show was beginning to reinforce the stereotypes he infused into his bits. Way to overlook that part though...

I'm sorry, but I don't cozy up to ignorance cloaked in humor.
That's a very serious matter in my book.
Because it's something I deal with regularly.

If you can't understand that well...carry on in your pursuit of cheap laughs.

My Great Grandma on my Dad's side was the daughter of the chief of a Melungeon tribe. Does that mean I can make jokes about black people too?

Jesus Christ let's change the subject here. So, Micjones, what's your 40 time? Vertical?

poopy

I don't think you're really paying attention to what I'm saying, Junior.

You'd rather be offended and upset than understand the issues.

If you continue to have doubts, maybe you should check out your reputation comments from yesterday. Maybe that would be more convincing for you - not that I care either way....

I'm wondering why you need my approval?

The right to be racially insensitive and ignorant is God-given. Doesn't matter what I think.

I'm here to talk Chiefs football mostly.
I understand that those who reside in Chiefs kingdom come in all shapes and forms. I'm fine with that.

I was hoping I could engage in some intelligent conversation here and there, but now I know that I'll have to stick to threads where Kansas City Chiefs football is the focal point.

One of my German visitors was laughing at our money boasting of the 200 years. ****ing arrogant Germans!
When I visited his facility, we stayed in a 400 year old hotel next to a 700 year old church. He took me to see a church that was well over a 1000 years old.

Good luck with that. Let me know how it works out for you.

That was your first mistake. They only have that in the DC forum.

You should have told him "2-0"

But that's where you're wrong.
I won't lose a wink of sleep over your commentary.
It's honestly not that serious.

You're investing too much energy in explaining yourself.
Really...

You have every right to joke about whatever you damn well please.
Please understand that. I'm not out to silence anyone. And I'm certainly not pleading with anyone to understand or sympathize with me.

I saw what you had to say for what it was... Called it a spade...
And now that I know where you stand I'm prepared to move on.
I'd ask that you do the same.

No explanations necessary.

Now I know the wiser...
Ha ha...

If by intelligent conversations, you mean quoting previously written articles and trying to take credit for them, then yes - they do have alot of that over there.

You called it a spade? You're funnier than you're willing to admit, Junior.

I hope you're around here for a long time - at least until you get sent down the river.

Leave it to a white man to sleep in to noon.

:eek:

I had plenty of similar comments to what you suggest. I honestly still think they are fighting WWII in some respects.

I can't say too much though, because I will never forgive the Japanese.

How'd I know you'd take liberties with that line?
You're more predictable than you're willing to admit...

Holy crap - did your old username used to be memyselfI?

This bit is pretty low-brow, I admit. It's not my best material but I'm enjoying myself and really, isn't that the important thing?

White is a boring color.

Burst.
This thread.
Gone.

No sir.

Why yes...yes it is.

I think it used to be Believer. He has a new schtick.
