Context is a slippery slope.
That word has never been cool here, and posting it in an image doesn't change things.

I'd appreciate if you guys didn't post that stuff.

Sorry I'm a bit new here, and i don't intend to offend anyone.

At risk of offending the Mods I have to thoroughly disagree;

ignoring context is a far more slippery slope in my opinion. "Justice" in this country is a blind chick swinging a sword around; does that really seem safe? Blind adherence to rules makes us a slave to them. Rules should exist to to benefit , not cage us.

there is a major difference between "you are just a dumb n***er" and "sh*t ni**a, you is just dumb!" While they are both meant to offend, one is clearly racist, while the other just sounds ghetto.

The picture in question pretty clearly is not intended as a racial slur; the humour relies on the vast difference between suburban white culture and inner city ghetto culture. The idea of people acting or speaking in a way totally contrary to what you might expect from their general appearance. This is what makes the picture funny, not some small minded, ignorant racist idea about black people.

[behndy]

totally agree. personally i think it's silly to give any word that kind of power, i'm with you where the context makes or breaks how awful it is, but again, ILF's rules.

soooooooooooooooooo.......... if this is one of the few points that ILF want's to be extra careful about, i understand. i might do it different if it was my call, but there's so much freedom here to do WAY more than you could get away with on any other forum....... yah.

see, the 'inner city ghetto culture' thing is the 'small minded, ignorant racist idea about black culture.' that's why in a comedic context 'n*gga' fails. it fails in every context we could ever use it in here at ilovefuzz.com.

in another thread re: fat girl jokes i said "like, sure it's 'just a joke,' but why is it a joke? jokes reflect real opinions, sets of behaviors, prejudices." and this is kind of the perfect example of the reasoning that i'm talking about.

[behndy]

because........ fat grrLs are........ funny?

Reflect doesn't mean agreeing with. In a humorous context, ignorant opinions are often presented as fodder for humor. If someone is presenting a 'small minded, ignorant racist idea about anything' in the context of a parody, how is that more offensive than a frank discussion that aims to make the same point?

Irony is a powerful tool.

honestly, not all frank discussions are useful or even intelligent ones. not all jokes are intelligent. these types of 'parodies' are almost always made by dudes totally ignorant to black culture outside of what they see in the media. there are very few racially minded comedians that just aren't pandering to white people's totally incomprehensible desire to say the n word (SERIOUSLY WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?) and be like WHAT ABOUT ALL THAT BLING BLING, AM I RIGHT?

[behndy]

lol. dood. you're making your point about how fucked up white people are when they buy into a stereotype........ by using stereotypical caricatures OF WHITE PEOPLE.

i grew up going to school in the hood and living very hood-adjacent. i give a fuck what color somebody's skin is. and (i hate using this but i respect Gunner's wishes for ILF conduct) the N WORD can be damn funny when used where the person's obviously not being racist.

dead babies are funny. fat bitches are funny. fat doods are funny. ignorant white people are funny. ALL SHIT is funny if it's....... y'know....... funny.

[unownunown]

growing up near the hood (lol) isn't the same as growing up black. thanks for telling me you don't care about skin color though.

man, is that a stereotype? it's just something i've seen displayed in this thread. and if so, stereotypes against white people aren't nearly as damaging as stereotypes against people of color. power dynamics and shit. racism isn't just YOU FUCKING N*GGER or whatever, it's bunch of complex shit.

but whatever, this sort of dialogue pretty much ends the same way on ilf, probably due to the homogeneity! it's easy to say this shit doesn't matter when it doesn't affect you.

[behndy]

that's just silly. no offense, you seem like a nice dooder and all, but all that is some bullshit. if racism is damaging to anybody than it's damaging to everybody. when i got mobbed on by 10 or so black guys in high school, knocked unconscious, got the shit kicked out of me and hit with a bat a WHOLE mess of times and had a few unexplained seizures for a bit afterwards...... PRETTY sure that was a "damaging" expression of racism towards....... wait for it..... A WHITE GUY. everybody everywhere has dealt with some messed up shit.

glad you got a giggle out of growing up near a hood, but not black, so i OBVIOUSLY couldn't understand. THAT fucking attitude is part of the reason we still have problems over color. you're welcome for letting you know i don't care about skin color too. just making the point that some people can see (or live through) horrific racist shit and still see the humor in poking fun at leftover misconceptions that are asinine.

and as trite as it sounds, growing up in Cali i have a LOT of black friends. and asian friends. and hispanic and arabic and whatever. and NONE OF US FUCKING CARE.
