too bad the "stereotype" thread was locked

[hellorhih2o]

Gentlemen thank you for keeping this debate civil. I'll let it go as long as the demeanor, tone and language remain this way.

My only comment would be that I believe a better term for stereotyping of people would be socio-economic-centrism rather than racism.

See, don't get so nervous. Take a chill pill, it's fun to pick on people from the woods.

Socio-economic-centrism my ass. I'll be civil but I refuse to be PC. It's bad enough that some wizkid called black people "Afro-Americans". What's that? A bad hairdo?

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black.

There.

(and I still refuse to PhotoShop a hat onto your scary-ass birdie-thingy. heartburn material.)

It's an emu. Not even for a mega karma blast?

I'm not being pc, I'm simply using the shortest terms to describe a broad concept. Basically all people decriminate along economic and cultural lines before they even consider racial issues. As long as two people from seperate cultures have equal class & wealth they will get draw lines based on culture rather than race.

Hell they can even be the same color and they will do this grouping process.

Do you have any idea how long it took for me to get my own avatar in decent shape?

1) Take self-pic with SLR camera and good ol' fashion Eastman Kodak (hate digital, I don't care how many mega-pixels there are, it's still flat).

2) Off to one-hour photo lab.

3) Quick 30 minute nap. Too short.

4) Back to one-hour photo lab.

5) Scan negative. Curse Minolta for making slow film scanners.

6) Work on getting rid of pimples on left arm. Two hours.

7) Realize that I'm as pale as an asprin. Go b/w. Pimple work to hell.

8)

Wait a minute. Are you calling me a karma-ho????

Why does that sound somewhat sexual?

Emu tastes very good. It also has less fat and more protein than chicken breast.

This reminds me of something George Carlin said. Words are just words, it is the dirty racist that uses it that you have to worry about. It is the context that is offencive not the word.

Check your PM. I've got ya where I want ya.

I have it set so that I get a pop up when I am PMed. And you are right.

I don't know about you be when ever I am watching a horror movie I am almost always amused by humans dieing horribly but when any dogs are killed it ruins the movie.

Cause dogs are innocent and pure creatures who will give you unconditional love no matter what. Pit bulls included.

Some girls might like it. Worth a try.

lol!

By keeping the language relatively formal it discourages people from remarking on the obvious cultural problems that plague a large portion of black Americans...

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black.
