Topic: An apology

[Farmer_Geddon]

To the user baldy,

I'm really sorry I called you a casual racist. It was wrong of me to call you this.

I mistakingly took offence to your joke about Mexicans, Muslims and niggers. I've since been informed by the moderator of this forum its not that bad as it's "only a joke" and infact me labelling you a casual racist is actually worse.

Again, please accept my apology and I look forward to more of your 'not' racist and 'not' sexist jokes in the near future(well the ones that refer to niggers anyway! lol)

Yours sincerely,

Farmer_Geddon of the internet.

Once again FG you can't read, or more likely you choose to interpret things your way to skew the truth. I never said that you labeling Russell as a casual racist was worse, I said

"yes, I'd say you were trying to stir sugar, esp with the picture you posted which itself I found ore offensive than the bad taste joke"

I typo'd more, sorry, but still quite clearly not what you said I said.

[Farmer_Geddon]

Right..... Ok then. 

So to clarify - you found the picture of me calling Hawker a casual racist more offensive than him using YOUR website to post a racist joke which included the term "niggers"?

[Shizzy]

Yawn, why couldn't you just report the post like a normal person?

Or better still. just accept it for what it was, a joke. A black mate of mine found it hilarious, as did I.

Judging by the yawning going on, this thread doesn’t seem to interest any of you – so why are you posting in it?

I don’t see what the issue is with me apologising for calling someone a racist anyway, it would appear that racism is welcomed on this forum – wanderlust has even got a black friend who thinks being called a nigger is hilarious so who am I to question your morals?! Just  accept my apology, don your white hoods and carry on as you were.

Just to make it crystal clear that most forum members think you're a sugar stirrer.

You are misreading posts again, you seem to have a problem understanding what people post. I have never suggested Baldy's joke was acceptable, just questioning the way you chose to highlight it.

I'm gutted. Honestly.

The way I chose to highlight it? I posted a tongue in cheek picture that was removed because it was 'offensive', whilst the joke about "niggers" is still there for all to see.

Nobody has complained about it(other than me), some have defended it whilst others have claimed its hilarious. You all seem happy enough to let someone post racist jokes on here and actively challenge someone for complaining about it!

What a load of little spherical objects.   I used to play in a band with a black Bass Guitarist and yes he was proud of being Black and I was proud of being White.   Roy and I used to make all sorts of racist jokes against each other and guess what.......... we both laughed, i don't mind being called a ghost he didn't mind being called a shadow and some of the remarks are not suitable for publication but the important thing it wasn't malicious, some may say racist, yes it was, so what.   We laughed and were mates, it had an upside.   We went into a pub in London arguing black versus white, the crowd parted like the sea of Galilee thinking we were having a ruck and we got to the bar easy.  Guess we are all racist in one form or another its how you treat each other that's important.  We all bleed red.

The situation you describe Charlie is slightly different, you and your friend knew the boundaries and were both comfortable with the banter. Baldy has published a bad taste (at the least) joke on a public forum without taking into account other peoples views. I can see how some would find his joke offensive. Personally I find it very distasteful, and disappointed he felt it suitable for posting.

Thanks wanderlust.
 
Some people simply have had a sense of humour bypass and others have become so "PC" they are practically up their own backsides and can't function in any normal way without having a moan and groan and telling everyone what they think and why what they think is really really really important .........
 
It is a very bad taste joke. I labelled it as non-PC, because to me that is the key part of the humour. It's a finger up to PC nonsense.
 
Black people I know think the joke is hilarious, and they've got a whole list of "white trash" jokes to fire back with ....
