Racism

[Leticia]

Recently I was on a message board that Cockstrong is usually on. It's a wrestling board so I'm not on it really.

But there was a post that one of the guys made saying that he had gotten into a car accident and kept reffereing to some of the people involved as Jaspers and Blackers.

It was one of the most unbelievable things I've ever seen.

He actually ended his story with saying that now he undertood why people in the south wanted slavery back.

No joke. He literally said this.

this is an actual quote from his post

that last part.... oh how i hope that was filed in the report but i doubt that it was, but it was a personal satisfaction when she admited to me that she was a lying bumper bending cock smoker and the blacks were nothing more than a reminder to me why everyone else in this state thinks we should still have slaves.

so, sorry so long... but i needed to vent. do share any of your crazy experiences especially with jaspers or crazed lying whores behind the wheel.



What do you even say to that.....

[Slumbag]

I hope he never reproduces.


That's about it.

[StupidGirlllll]

I think he is a very angry soul & believe it or not racism is still strong in alot of places, especially in the south. It still exists around the metro area but not as strong as the south I think.

[keithy_19]

It's really sad how even after so long people still throw ignorant remarks around. How much better life would be if everyone could just take the ideals of people like King, Lennon, Strummer, ect.

With that being said, I can find myself being pissed at the "leaders" of certain ethnic groups. Of course, the white population has more people than any other group who I can't stand.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure this guy is getting the "colored" section of hell.

[PapaBear]

It would be nice if people would realise that racism is EVERYWHERE, and not just in the South. It would also be nice if people would stop listening to racists. Racists like to make their opinions available to everyone. It would be nice if non racist people were as outspoken as racists, but it's just not in their nature.

I guess the closest thing to "Extreme non racists" would be SHARP (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice). When I lived in Richmond, VA, these kids would actually beat the shit out of racists. It did no good, though. They were perceived as idiots.

I take a different stance. When I run into racism, I tell that person that I think their opinion is shit. I tell them to their face (even if it's a coworker or friend). I don't do it aggressively. I tell them what I think, then I leave it at that. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. I let them know that they have the right to feel the way they do, but if they talk to me about it, I'm going to tell them how I feel.

There have actually been a few who have come around.

What's a "jasper"?

I consider myself a somewhat worldly man and I've never heard the term.

Oh and I wouldn't worry what some ignorant jerkoff wrote on a wrestling messageboard Teesh, upsetting as it may be.

[IMSlacker]

What's a "jasper"?

That's a new one to me too. The only guess I have is that it refers to the town in east Texas where those three assholes dragged James Bird, Jr. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Byrd%2C_Jr.) to death behind their pickup truck.

[sailor]

manhattan college jaspers is the only time i'd ever heard that term. i am confused as well.

QFT

I have read somewhere that in mankinds early days, when everyone was part of a tribe, if someone looked different than your tribe they were the enemy. Eventually some tribes dominated and made slaves of the other tribes. This still goes on today but instead of small tribes we have large countries. Ask Yerdaddy, in Asia people get sold and traded all the time.

My point is this, rascism was an evolutionary tool for the first humans. It is still kind of a tool today. The people who hijacked planes on 9/11 weren't white or black: they were Arabs. Are there stupid people who when they get mad only attack the first thing they can see, a person's skin color or gender? Yes and I think that is the dumbest insult you can say to someone.

Leticia, I have never met you but you seem like an intelligent and fun person. There are people who are not and they will make themselves known by the stupid shit that comes out of their mouths or in this case out of their keyboards. There is nothing to say to that except fuck off and fuck you: I know exactly what your deal is.

[MrPink]

What do you even say to that.....

Nothing, you couldn't possibly point out his ignorance to him and get him to smarten up. You just have to ignore shit like that.

as hard as it can be sometimes I think Mr. Pink is right. Sometimes my anger gets the best of me and I reply to ignorant posts. But I think i'm learning racists people/posts aren't worth the emotional energy.

I think his brand of ignorant thinking will be phased out over the next few generations. At least I hope it will.

yeah, pretty much. People that are racist at the level have it ingrained into there personality, and would be a total waste of time trying to get this person so see any different. I have two thoughts on this person. One, they are truely racist or they are a young kid just being an ass, and "shock posting" something that happens here every now and again. Please dont take those statements for support of his dribble. Just speculating.

[Yerdaddy]

Can anyone imagine what I'd be like if I was black? Spike Lee would be telling me to mellow out. I don't know how to shut up about anything I disagree with strongly so I'm for calling them out on their bullshit. How I do that depends on the way it's expressed: in your quote the guy's that rare type of overt racist and he uses the anonymity of the internet to express his opinions safely. But it's primitive bullshit and most people see that by reading it. Most people already know him for what he is and you're just pointing out the obvious. You should keep that in perspective.

I understand the idea of letting it go, but I do think that racism is spread by verbal contact; letting it go unchallenged gives it credibility in others who might be prone to the same beliefs whereas having those ideas shot down demonstrates their unacceptability in civilized conversation. I don't think we'll ever go back to the acceptability of the overt racism of 30 years ago but the few overt racists are a part of the overall problem of racism today and facilitates the more problematic subtle racism that's still a big problem today. More of a problem is people who keep the thoughts this guy expresses in their heads and in like-minded company but still use revisionist historical diatribes or simplistic anecdotes like this to try to prove racist feelings true without coming right out and expressing them. But racism in all its manifestations persists and I think it should always be confronted.

So my advice to you would be this: You're a very cool person. You're also black. Therefore just being you is all the evidence any rational person needs to see that racism is retarded. So any response from you is a reminder to anyone who knows you and sees your post that the racist is wrong. But no response from you, or someone like you, just leaves the ideas out there as an intelectual argument. Certainly someone, or many people, will call someone out for that kind of comment. But a comment from someone like you holds alot of weight as a target of the generalized racist slur and someone who's character alone makes a strong counterargument. So if I were you I wouldn't get worked up about it but come up with a measured response that shows that that kind of comment deserves - mockery. Don't try to be too clever or you'll end up in a long back and forth that distracts from the point. Just call him a retarded piece of shit and move on. You'll win the crowd and that's what makes it worth your effort.

[Fat_Sunny]

You're also black.


She Is? F_S Did Not Notice That....But Then, He Only Sees Character And Souls And Not Things Like Skin Color.

Seriously, Fat Thinks The Other Board Members Need To Confront The Idiot As Well. When A Peer Group Lets A Person Know That A Certain Behavior/Attitude Is Wrong, That Is Usually Enough To Shut Them Up, And, Hopefully, To Get Them To Start Thinking.

WHAT'S A JASPER???






The unique nickname of Manhattan College’s athletic teams, the Jaspers, comes from one of the College’s most memorable figures, Brother Jasper of Mary, F.S.C., who served at the College in the late 19th century.
One of the greatest achievements of Brother Jasper was that he brought the then little-known sport of baseball to Manhattan College and became the team’s first coach. Since Brother was also the Prefect of Discipline, he supervised the student fans at Manhattan College baseball games while also directing the team itself.

During one particularly warm and humid day when Manhattan College was playing a semi-pro baseball team called the Metropolitans, Brother Jasper noticed the Manhattan students were becoming restless and edgy as Manhattan came to bat in the seventh inning of a close game. To relieve the tension, Brother Jasper called time-out and told the students to stand up and stretch for a few minutes until the game resumed.

Since the College annually played the New York Giants in the late 1880’s and into the 1890’s at the old Polo Grounds, the Manhattan College practice of the "seventh inning stretch" spread into the major leagues, where it has now become a time-honored custom practiced by millions of fans annually.

This was my initial stance when I first started posting on message boards. But a lot of times I feel like when you stand up against someone who says something ignorant you end up being "that guy" who ends up making things all serious and uncomfortable. This may be wrong to assume but I think most people on this board are not always directly offended by racist things said the way I might be. So when I stand up for myself most times I end up feeling more hurt and singled out than if I had I just ignored the ass in the first place, especially if other posters see the same offensive thing I did and they don't say anything out against said racist poster ( of course this not always the case). At this point I think I rather just be like posters who ignore it cause honestly it's easier. I can't change anyone so why even bother? Then again this is the internet..if you said that shit to my face it would be a COMPLETELY different story.

[Freitag]

First off, I think I need to apologize to a specific person in this thread, as I did make an ignorant joke in that person's direction that wasn't well received. Reading this thread gives me a better understanding of how she thinks.

I think the biggest problem with racism in America is not your typical "ignorant and dumb" racist, who outwardly expresses these ideas, but the person who doesn't express it but thinks that way. "Smart" racists to me are a lot worse than your typical run-of-mill messageboard poster like this fellow.

I am guilty of making jokes. I see the humor in people's differences, but I think there is an "insulation" difference between messageboards and real life.

I think another problem that America has is failing to recognize the differences between being a racist, being prejudiced, and personal preference.

I don't blame anyone for not wanting to be more like me. I'm like this in real life and apparently I can be quite annoying to some people.]This may be wrong to assume but I think most people on this board are not always directly offended by racist things said the way I might be.

You never know. I do think to over-react can lead to long arguments that legitimize the bigot. But you never know what the audience is thinking or how you might effect their thinking. I'm always surprised when I periodically get PMs out of the blue from someone I thought hated me for my politics but who instead told me they respected my opinion. I was even more surprised when I went to a board event in NY years ago and found out that one guy in particular wanted to meet me outside. I thought for sure he was going to take a swing at me but he wanted to shake my hand instead. We ended up married for a short time until he went into rehab and I started seeing Andy Dick. But the point is: you'd be surprised! Another thing that surprised me is when I got complaints for my Blazing Saddles avitar that I made as an anti-racism statement. Regardless of what message I intended to get out it offended someone so I took it down. If nobody complained I'd have gone on offending people with it and I didn't want to do that. Most notably, I think, is that we have one of the most civilized political forums on the internet and I think that's because we don't tolerate hateful bullshit on there and we usually go after it with thoughtful responses that deter rather than encourage flaming. And so racists and trolls don't usually last in there. Admittedly I overdo it quite a bit with the log rambling posts like this one, but I do think message board responses to hateful shit have an effect one way or another on the people who read them.

I was. I got self-concious when I posted that photoshop of you and Marc to your myspace and you didn't put it up. I thought I really ticked you off and had a mini-panic attack.

[FUNKMAN]

sometimes there's a HAZY line with racism. i've experienced people who have said very racist things but their actions told a different story. they are really judging people on an individual basis but ignorantly interjecting a 'racial' statement as opposed to just calling someone 'rude' or 'dishonest'

there's such a guy at my job and he's said some stupid racial remarks but one night when one of our co-workers of a different race, one that he has made remarks against, car wouldn't start he was the first guy to run out and give him a jump...

Oh and I wouldn't worry what some ignorant jerkoff wrote on a wrestling messageboard Teesh, upsetting as it may be.

There is no more racism. Sean Hannity told me so.

When I heard the term "Jasper" it made me think of animated cartoons they used to show TV during late sixties - the main character's name was Jasper. The cartoons were made in the 40's and I can't believe they used to show this stuff on TV:

does anybody remember jasper?

[keithy_19]

When I was in elementary school I had a janitor that was named Jasper. He was a black man.

But there was also another janitors who's name, I think, was Jasper and he was right.

Oh what a pair they were.

That's similar to what I was talking about. Being a racist means you unilaterally hate a large group of people based solely on their race. There's a difference between that and being inappropriate or being prejudiced.

Being prejudiced means seeing someone specific acting or looking in a way you don't like and making a judgment call based solely on that. (I.e. the person walking down the street in a bad neighborhood)

Being racist means you judge EVERYONE. (Disliking/disrespecting a co-worker based solely because they aren't like you.)

Being inappropriate means using racially-charged language but not "meaning" it. (I.e. making a comment on someone's hair, etc. but not following a pattern of racist behavior)

I was once called a racist because I did not find a specifically african-american woman attractive. I really took offense to that and flipped out because of it.

That's why you have to laugh at most racists-- they'd never say this kind of shit in public or to someone's face. Well, at least not without a permit to demonstrate and police protection.

I love racists who think they are better than others when they themselves are from the bottom of the genetic strata anyway.

[Reephdweller]

While I've never really heard the word "Jasper" used in a racist way, I did read it as someone else pointed out as in the old black cartoon characters named such as Jasper that would be portrayed as dumb deep south black stereotypes.

My thinking would be to call the guy out on it anyway, even if you feel it would fall on deaf ears. If anything someone should call out racism like that when it pops up. My hope is always that eventually it makes its way through to the idiot who says it's thick skull.

[Bulldogcakes]

One thing I try to factor in with these posters is intent.

1-Was it an attempt to be funny, or did they really mean it? If they were trying to make a joke and failed, I wouldn't take it too seriously. Then the person reacting comes across as a humorless douche. And whether we all realize it or not, somebody's toes get stepped on in comedy all the time. We only seem to notice it when we're the target.

2-If the really meant it, then someone like that such a neanderthal they aren't worth your time. Again, I wouldn't take these types too seriously because I doubt they get out of the house much.

3-Shock posters. If someone is doing that just to get a reaction and start a fight on the internet, then the last thing I want to do is give someone like that what they want.

In each case, letting it slide makes a lot of sense to me.

[AKA]

It would be nice if people would realise that racism is EVERYWHERE, and not just in the South.

qft

If anything, "The South" has had to deal more openly with racism - it's easier to lump it in as regional, but the internet has shown no borders with hate and stupidity.

From the Urban Dictionary: (4. jasper 28 up, 30 down)
4. jasper

A prison term used as slang for a black lesbian in the 1970's and -80's. It is uncommon today.



Possible this guy picked up the term in the Ol' Greybar Motel in the 70s or 80s? Or the term spread to his neighborhood to refer to black women and he likes to keep the term alive? He did follow it up with "jaspers or crazed lying whores". It's a long-shot, but maybe.

I guess I'm naive' also, I never heard the term jasper until now.
Obviously through it's context , it's not very nice.
The sad thing about the internet & postings, many people have no fear (pseudo-bravery) since it's really all anonymous, unless someone knows the real person behind the screen name..
I'm all for calling out a coward like that, and have done so elsewhere, but as IamPixie pointed out, you become the one singled out also. Sometimes it's worth it, no matter what.
When all else fails, a sharp kick in the balls (or bush) helps get the point across.:annoyed:

No, I said "the priorities" are retarded. I could have said "the politics" or the "the social behavior" or whatever. Just because YOU post something doesn't mean that you subscribe to it, nor does a response to a point in a post or the post itself a reflection of opinions of the person that orginally posted it. Yes, we had a blow up recently, but I would have said what I said in response to any post that made the monumentally stupid argument that pretty much anything said online can be explained away as a joke and that anyone who disagrees is then just a "humorless douche." I've made my disagreement with that sentiment known many times here since several people have brought it up to try and weasel out of comments that ended up pissing off people here. You're nitpicking to try and make it look like I'm picking on you as opposed to the idea that "humor excuses everyone and everything" and it won't work.

BDC, don't twist the rules of That's Life to fit the needs of your post. The rule is for no jokes or tooling on a person who is pouring out their emotional problems, not for someone to disagree with your post.

He's not personally attacking you, and if you get that offended and huffy, then you really have a thin skin. He doesn't like your priorities. Your choice is to accept his decision, or to debate. But no matter what, it's not an attack.

Besides which, I found the irony in him using the term "retarded" in a thread that is dealing with inappropriate comments about peoples' differences.

I got caught up after the Jasper cartoon was posted. I'm pretty sure this is what he meant when he said the word Jasper. He meant black stereotypes where the kid is dumb and clueless.

Eh, maybe it's not a term that we use here, but maybe it's used in the south.

Okay so I had just checked the thread that this thread is about (lol).

And it got stupid..er..

I can't even explain how.

Ugh.

Basically there are people against racism of blacks being racist against every other race.

Recently I was on a message board that Cockstrong is usually on. It's a wrestling board so I'm not on it really.

But there was a post that one of the guys made saying that he had gotten into a car accident and kept reffereing to some of the people involved as Jaspers and Blackers.

It was one of the most unbelievable things I've ever seen.

He actually ended his story with saying that now he undertood why people in the south wanted slavery back.

No joke. He literally said this.

this is an actual quote from his post

that last part.... oh how i hope that was filed in the report but i doubt that it was, but it was a personal satisfaction when she admited to me that she was a lying bumper bending cock smoker and the blacks were nothing more than a reminder to me why everyone else in this state thinks we should still have slaves.

so, sorry so long... but i needed to vent. do share any of your crazy experiences especially with jaspers or crazed lying whores behind the wheel.



What do you even say to that.....



Looks to me like it could have ben written by anyone of the three : Opie, Anthony, or lil Jimmy. Of course if they were too busy to post spew more hate than they already had for the week, it could have been one of thier listeners. The only difference between them and this kind of post is they laugh and say "oh come on, we're just kidding" after. If you hold them accountable for what they said they accuse you of being too PC and not being able to take a joke.

Clearly, racism is not funny - no place for it in civilized society.

Okay so I had just checked the thread that this thread is about (lol).

And it got stupid..er..

I can't even explain how.

Ugh.

Basically there are people against racism of blacks being racist against every other race.

These people will never learn. It's crazy.

I think an actual thing said was ... I don't hate any type of people... except natives.

What????

What????

WHAT?:wallbash:

Thats like................. wait what? I fucking hate people

BDC, don't twist the rules of That's Life to fit the needs of your post. The rule is for no jokes or tooling on a person who is pouring out their emotional problems, not for someone to disagree with your post.

He's not personally attacking you, and if you get that offended and huffy, then you really have a thin skin. He doesn't like your priorities. Your choice is to accept his decision, or to debate. But no matter what, it's not an attack.

TB, there's a background to this that you're probably not aware of. Me and him have been going at it for a while. This isn't me being thin skinned off one post, it goes back about a year. Plus the last time I tried to debate him, the thread ended up being locked because it turned to liquid shit in about two minutes. So there's no point debating him. I was trying to respect the forum and not derail.

Besides which, I found the irony in him using the term "retarded" in a thread that is dealing with inappropriate comments about peoples' differences.

Bingo. Thats not irony, thats hypocrisy.

There is a difference between blatant racism and finding the humor in the differences between cultures of people.

WOW.... I got nothin

[donnie_darko]

I've gotten used to racism online.
I remember when i first joined a chat room regularly back in 96-97, everyone was shocked to find out i wasn't white.

apparently i had become "friends" with a few staunch racists.

hell, i got pm'd and had my signature pic removed here, so yeah...whatever.

but Id never be surprised by anyone's ignorance, ever. I've come to expect it.

A group of black doctors saving a KKK guys life. I found it googling (for a Christine Applegate pic) this morning. I thought it was pretty cool, deals with the subject of racism. What did you think it was?

I still have no clue how anyone (much less 3 people) took that photo as being anything other than ironic.

The Charles Drew thing is false? Hawkeye Pierce is going to be devastated!

Yes, there's that, and there's lazily attempting to be as shocking and hurtful as possible and then claiming that so long as it's dressed up as a joke, it's OK.

And I'm saying that in general. ryno clearly thinks O&A are hatemongers, and that's his bag. I personally think they dive to the "race well" too many times, but whatever. Just not my thing.

n/m... I'll bow out.

Wow, I actually liked that racist-ass Jasper cartoon. Does this make me a racist? Or just a fan of old timey cartoonery?
