You're not talking about me here are you? Because Rule #1...

I call them like l see them. I don't know who you are, but if you are projecting yourself into my post, that has nothing to do with rule #1. If you behave how I describe I would consider you a dumb racist. That was the whole point of my post.

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

Right, and I don't know who you are either but based on how you're acting I think you're a hyper reactionary jerk who loves throwing labels and insults around. But hey, I'm just calling it how I see it.

And no, I don't behave how you describe.

Besides, it depends on the joke. I'm guessing a lot of jokes you consider racist, I would not.

If you think I a single you out ask yourself this.

Have Jihadin ever gone on the attack on a poster?
If so how often does he go on the attack?
The few times Jihadin has gone on the attack he specified that individual (d-usa as an example)

I use the "does not look at them as inferior" excuse because it seems to justify racist/ethnic jokes.
If you think I am attacking you then press the triangle

That was directed at Radiation, not you.

Your remark implied the two of you were talking about me, in which case Radiation outright called me a racist. And yes I do know what the Yellow Triangle is.

No, I'm saying I was under the impression you and Jihadin were referring to me (seeing as he was quoting something I said). And you explicitly said "then he's a dumb racist".

Can you see why there might be a wee bit of a misunderstanding here?

You're at work and there is about to be a meeting. You pass the time telling your favorite racist joke. You remind your co-workers, "I'm not racist."

You are a racist in any of those situations. If you don't understand that, than you are a dumb racist.

Nobody but your mommy cares about the special snowflake that is your inner most soul and your most cherished feelings and thoughts. Society will judge you on your behavior.

Here is my original post. If you behave like this, l consider you a dumb racist. It's that easy.

If telling a racist joke makes you a racist, I've never known someone who was NOT a racist. Ever.

I even hate my own race.

Do you think Chris Rock and Louis CK are racists?

Are they? I'm not talking about standup. I know they are blue. Is Kramer racist?

So would you agree that context matters?

Just say what you want to say. But I don't think context matters too much. If you have to sit in a dark room telling racist jokes into a pillow versus impressing young ladies with fancy dinners and your best racist joke I still think your problem is that you're a dumb racist. Call me crazy.

I thought you said context didn't matter too much though?

**Jihadin**

Let's ease up now on the November word

**Jehan-reznor**

So if a non-racist finds a racist inferior does it makes him a racist?

I am coming out of the closet, i find PS3 users superior to the Xbox users, i think wargamers are more superior than card gamers, and people who like Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus are clearly inferior

Aren't we again overreacting?

The context you're talking about doesn't matter, because you haven't formally created one. But again, for the purpose of being a dumb racist, context isn't the driving argument or point. You're just a dumb racist, or you're not. It's up to you as an individual to understand the difference.

I'm not talking about someone being a dumb racist. I'm just talking about someone being racist (or not).

And I don't think I need to create a specific context in order for you to decide whether or not you believe that context is important when it comes to race and language.

No, you asked me a couple of random questions. I told you they really didn't make a difference to what I'm talking about. If you have some point to make, then make it, but don't try and twist my posting into something else.

Taken at face value, your reply here is a statement that someone is dumb for "not" thinking people of other races are inferior.

I guess context really does matter.....or that SWJ's are the real racists.

I'm absolutely not trying to twist your post into something else. I asked you a couple of relatively general, direct questions, because I'm looking for a bit of clarification on the points you are trying to make.

Learn to read. The spoiler shows a person telling racist jokes to people and then saying "but I'm not racist and I don't consider them inferior." That's still a dumb racist. Anything else is a misquote and a smear. Or just lack of reading skills.

But it's so easy. I gave so many wonderful examples. Lets take just one to show that the type of context you are talking about doesn't matter because my general argument still works for all the situations l have described.

You take a young lady out for coffee and tell her your favorite racist joke. Then you say, "but I'm not a racist."

You are a dumb racist.
