But I agree that we need to laugh at racism.....and not to rehash this thread all over again, but I think we just parted ways on what constitutes "laughing at racism".
Wow. Did you actually read what I fucking wrote? You've completely missed the point of my post. I wonder why? Ignorance does in fact precede racism. Which one is blinding you here? Goodbye.
Wow....I think that just went over my head....what just happened here?
You said the road to ending racism is paved with laughter.....and I replied by saying I agree with you, but we disagree on what is funny. Is there something wrong with that that I'm missing or am I in the twilight zone?
You're just wrong dude! The end. _________________ Namaste,

I'm perfectly aware that african american's make me uncomfortable. I've tried to conciously make myself comfortable around them, but to now avail. If that makes me racist, then I'm sorry. If it helps, I try to go out of my way to be nice to african americans when I meet them.
You sound like black people are aliens or something. What about people with darker skin makes you uncomfortable?

I always thought that guy in the suit tried too damn hard.
And what exactly are they doing that's so different than Ice? They even sampled about 2 or 3 different songs themselves in there....Peter Gabriel I think, and Stevie Wonder. _________________ "Faith is often the boast of the man who is too lazy to investigate." - F.M. Knowles

That's not the response I was looking for. If you read the comments on the Youtube video most of them are coming down on Arsenio for being racist. See that's reserve racism. Blacks hating on whitey's success.

What's the deal with this "whitey" stuff? I don't think I've ever heard a black person refer to a white person as "whitey" before in my life, but I've heard it thrown around on this board as if you're mocking blacks' use of it.
At any rate....yes, it was very presumptuous of Arsenio to think he just brought Flav on to prove that he's down or something, but it's not out of the question that Ice would do something like that, which is why he asked. Arsenio was kinda dickish about it and yes, it was racist, but not crazy to think that Ice would do that.

Arsenio was giving him such a rough time because he was faker than a three dollar bill. Everything about VI was a gimmick.
Beastie Boys, 3rd Bass, and Everlast (House of Pain) never had that problem when they appeared, because they were authentic.
VI's career can be summed up in a line by the rapper OC from his classic "Time's Up".

Yes I wanted to see if you thought Arsenio was being racist or not. I thought Vanilla Ice handled himself well under tough questioning. Not knowing much of that rap era, I thought Arsenio was being a dick.
And 'whitey' is slang that goes back as far as the 70s in LA. At least that's what I've seen in the documentary Wattstax. It's a common as using 'white', 'white man'. I use a lot of slang myself offline: peckerwood, white trash, nigga, bitch, ho, trick, pimp. I've learned from the experienced.
Bradley Honorable - here's one for y'all...racist or not?
And actually, It's not that a person identifies themselves as "black" or "african-america" that get's me nervous. It's the way they speak. No, I don't mean all blacks speak that way. I mean when somebody speaks that ghetto gansta speak, regardless of color of skin, I feel very uncomfortable. The racist part, I feel, comes in when I realize that a lot more african americans that I've interacted with have talked like that than others.
So... I get uncomfortable.
and to the guy who posted that fat mexican flash thingie, you better watch out I'm gonna come bust your door down with my magnum fucking puto te madre... just kidding. _________________ Americanism -- n. e.g. Who gives a shit??

And yeah I think it goes without saying that it was racist. Sounded like a pretty cool cat though. _________________ "Faith is often the boast of the man who is too lazy to investigate." - F.M. Knowles
