Sad social statement.
Are you implying all Virginias are small minded racists like him??

Justin24 said:
Oh I do see the difference and like I said he made a huge mistake saying what he did. But wouldn't you call these comedians racist also for making fun of someone elses, Sex, Race, or religion.
Why is it ok to accept a comedian to say these things???
Justin24 said:
Do you honestly think he meant to say what he did?
U2democrat said:
I know what she meant.
Not all no, but many are so conservative this will not sway their vote. He's been governor already and senator for a term, he's got the money and the name recognition. For some reason that I cannot fathom people here love him.
ETA: The racial divide here in Virginia is still huge. Socially and economically people are still very segregated.
Justin24 said:I think people need to lighten up. Every race is racist towards each other no matter what. So if let's say McKinney called someone a cracker or wetback, would you react the same way or say ohh it must have been her up bringing.
BonoVoxSupastar said:There's a video of an educated and tolerant man. Bless all you conservatives sticking up for him.
Justin24 said:So if he was a comedian and said this it would be ok?
nbcrusader said:
Does questioning the absoluteness of U2Democrat's conclusion constitute "sticking up for him"?
Or should we give in to the current tide and just damn him with all our might (cause we feel better when we point out other people's flaws)?
Justin24 said:I am asking you If he was a comedian would it be different? I am guessing the answer would be know because he is white and white people should not say that. If he was a comedian of another color. Then it's ok.
And I am not racist ok. Just trying to point things out.
BonoVoxSupastar said:I'm not sure what you are talking about, I haven't based anything on U2Democrat's conclusions...
BonoVoxSupastar said:
No, if he was a comedian, he'd at least be funny. I've seen plenty of white comedians do the same type of humor as Chris Rock or Menccia. So I'm not seeing your point.
I read the article. I've seen it on TV, I've listened to the commentary(both sides) on the radio today.nbcrusader said:
Did you read her initial post?
nbcrusader said:
Otherwise, tell me, what can be discussed about Allen?

No, by all means, continue to defend what he said. It makes for some very amusing reading while I sort through stuff here in the computer room.
Justin24 said:
I don't believe he knew what that word meant and did not mean to offend anyone. But now I see in here a Salem Witch trial commencing.
that he could possibly know?The word could also be interpreted as "macaca" or "mukakkah," a French and Belgian slur for dark skinned peoples of North African descent.[2] Allen's mother immigrated from French Tunisia and is of French descent.[3] Allen speaks French and obtained excellent grades in French as an undergraduate.

Do you defend Chris Rock when he said I love black people but I hate N---ers???

martha said:
Let me explain this to you clearly: Chris Rock is a comedian, pointing out human nature in an insightful, educated way. This ass-clown is an elected official, using racist, derogatory words in their racist, derogatory meaning.
Big fucking difference that you don't seem to understand.
nbcrusader said:
I haven't yet. So the pious interjections don't really add anything here.
Justin24 said:
I understand but dont you think that comedians will put this idea that its ok cause everyone laughed at white, black, asian jokes. Remember Younger audiences watch his stand up too.
