So my co-worker accuses me of being rascist because-

1. I didnt watch the basketball game last night. Or any basketball game, ever (Other than my kids games. I just dont care for it.).
2. I watch and play hockey.

After he accuses me of being a Klansman and derides hockey some more, I ask if he has ever watched hockey. He replies "Sh*t no, aint no brothers playing hockey". I say "How would it sound if I said a similiar thing about basketball, but with white people instead of brothers?". "Then that would prove you are a rascist".

Thats when I left the room. Stupid is as stupid does and all.

 

[WestCoastHucker]

apparently someone has to perpetuate the cycle...

 

[reflux]

At which point did you call him a "jive ass brutha?"

Yeah, I agree with you.

 

[Serial Midget]

I dunno - failure to keep up on the black sports could be considered insensitive.

 

[strangeland2]

Well I dont know if you re racist but sure sounds like he is. Double standards says thats politically correct though.

 

[manimal]

tell him that if you wanted to watch criminals play with balls you'd go to the local jail at shower time.

that should get him riled up something fancy

 

[Jeremy R]

Maybe he thinks you are racist because you can't spell it.

 

[Slugman]

Why did you even waste your breathe explaining to him?

 

[Serial Midget]

Why did you even waste your breathe explaining to him?

White guilt.

 

[skinny mike]

you should have told him how lil' jon is a big hockey fan.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Maybe he thinks you are racist because you can't spell it.

Dammit. Beat me to it.

"Must spread rep..."

 

[Dartman]

Excuse me. I speak Jive...

 

[thebornotaku]

Excuse me. I speak Jive...

I laughed heartily.




anywho: lol double standards

sadly the only thing I can say to that is "welcome to America"

it's sad, really.



Of course, I'm a preacher of true equality in so far as race goes. No favoritism either way. But I like how favoritism towards minorities is "equal opportunity" and favoritism towards whites is "racist" :huh:

[jonKranked]

you should've just used the "I'm Canadian" defense. Then ask him how much he likes scrapple.

 

[jebfour]

Excuse me. I speak Jive...

I love that movie. Rep given!

dude hockey is so much better than basketball, plus who wants to watch a team get blown out by 40 points in game six of the championship anyway?

 

[J_B]

F*CK basketball....I only say this because I'm a short mexican/japanese guy. Seriously, f*ck basketball.

Guess i'm a racist too. I never watch basketball & do in fact watch hockey.Went to a hockey game a few months ago! I am in fact white.

 

[eaterofdog]

I don't like hockey or basketball. I'm anti-human.

”tako" means octopus in Japanese. There used to be a place near wher ei live that sold these octopus dumpling things they eat here, it was called Tako Bell.

 

[vtjim]

I would have simply walked away without saying a word. Any explanation would end up being a waste of breath.

 

[Broken_Spoke]

JohnE, I really hope your co-worker didn't go to college, but if he did how in hell did he graduate.

People sure like to bat the word "racist" around. Differences between cultures doesn't indicate racism. It indicates differing individual tastes. Believing your race is superior in all forms to all other races is racism. The rest is just good ole bigotry. Nothing wrong with that......some great comedy comes out of bigotry. I myself have come up with some awesomely bigoted statements in the name of teh funny. It's just very pathetic that many people will throw that "r" word out there so cavalier without actually considering the implications of what they are saying.

I don't like any of them but I just consider myself anti-man. I still like the girls

 

[w00dy]

I can't know, because I wasn't there, but did you ever stop to think that maybe he was f-ing with you? Do you have trouble deciphering voice inflection? It just sounds like heckling to me.

 

[Lowlight7]

"I don't watch basketball, I find it boring."

"I was watching the lacrosse game/hurling match." At least then I can claim to be eccentric instead of racist.

 

[JohnE]

Maybe he thinks you are racist because you can't spell it.

Oh shtup upp...:biggrin:

No possibility whatsoever. He is not smart enough to understand sarcasm, let alone use it.

Canadian= Chicago PD slang term for young black man. Mostly used by white officers. Go figure.
