Honestly I don’t think I’ll ever listen to it again, but I don’t think I’ll ever forget my experience with it.

Like... who told this man that this shit was a smart thing to do?

At least he has a point (parent that let kids with male adult when not pushing them because they are star struck is a real problem).

 

That do really sound like a confession.

Death baby jokes, rape jokes, etc... were so common circa 2000-2010 (it was a genre in itself), I imagine a lot of people are deleting that decade from their social account the last few days.

to be fair you have to have a very high IQ to understand fake baby rape videos

 

It has a strong correlation, but probably not an 100% hard rules:

Black humour preference and comprehension are positively associated with higher verbal and nonverbal intelligence as well as higher levels of education. Emotional instability and higher aggressiveness apparently lead to decreased levels of pleasure when dealing with black humour.

see, this guy gets it

 

I know it's wrong to laugh but I'm dying at R. Kelly saying "I admit a family member touched me" and then added "touched me, touched me, touched me" as ad-libs after. The ad-libs really diminished the seriousness of the line.

I think racism is like a lazy form of dealing with insecurity.  It is like … "we are all comfortable in this room together, things are great, we feel fine, we all look the same, lets keep it that way and grow."  same thing could go with racial humor.

So, I'm playing through the Kingdom Hearts series again before KH3 comes out and I forgot the first game had this nightmare fuel in it.

I don’t even get this post.

 

If a bunch of people were sitting around me making jokes at the expense of me being black I’m going to stand and leave. I don’t give a fuck if I make them uncomfortable. Fuck those guys.

 

I am so confused by this post.

Honestly no offense bro but with each post of yours passing you make me doubt my mental stability.

Are you and The Futurist related?

I basically scroll over everything Matrix posts at this point. If the opening sentence doesn't catch me, I ain't reading that shit.

His box office related posts make a lot of sense. he's losing it in the Classic conversation thread....

[DeeCee]

I think his posts are translated through a dozen or so languages on Google translate before he posts.

 

This post gave me an idea.  I just translated the above sentence through a dozen languages.  The result:

 

"Before publishing the news, I think that my comments have been translated into more than 12 languages."

He hadn't quite yet discovered what the people truly wanted.

Also people: a random box office discussion site is not going to help you clear up your views and stance on race or LGBT issues.

 

Sometimes I look at the posts on this site and think “do you people not have any friends or family that are minorities that you could gain an understanding from?” 

 

Seriously, a ton of your misconceptions and questions about race could be cleared by just getting to know other people. I was born into a very homophobic environment, I know I was very homophobic (at the time I wouldn’t even consider myself to be. I honestly thought that if I wasn’t wishing death to gay people then I couldn’t be homophobic. Homophobia was normalised around me), I went to university, started to know, work with and become friends with LGBT people and that experience changed who I was. 

 

Put down the keyboard. Go outside. This is ridiculous.
