autigeremt 6,646 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Race......let's keep it to NASCAR and Indy. It doesn't work well talking about it on the interweb......makes people defensive. :)/> :)/> :)/> it does. not even sure who im defending. but when i see a meme of a post that insinuates across the board racism and all the points made on the post are incorrect i cant help but point that out. I was taking a shot at myself more than anything....but I digress. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,084 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thug is used plenty for white football players, where it applies. Just as it is for anyone else. That's your opinion, I disagree. You pretty much have your mind set and that's fine but there are millions of others who don't agree with you. Also which is why this isn't an argument I'm going to have on here. Most times I just go how things go on this board because there is no way to prove anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm also not going to go along with some empty greviance industry agenda. Those who act out in a certain way deserve being called on it. If sons are overly sensitive & object ? Tough. Then don't condone such actions & defend those who do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,084 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 You prove it how? By saying it's so? Gtho. Funny how you had nothing to say and this thread went on for two days and when that Facebook post popped up here you come with your cape on to save the day....oh I forgot you're a Batman type of guy...

homersapien 11,393 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Even if there was ONE black guy on the crew, the remark was made to Joker, and clearly wasn't " racial " . The point you're ignoring ( for obvious reasons ) is that the term ' thug ' was and is often used for any violent group of criminals. 2008, this year, with the new Avengers movie, or hell, 30 years ago, 'thug' is often used. Only in the past few years has anyone thought to control the usage of that word by making up this' racist ' crap. It's not racist. That's my only point. Oh, and also ? "Genius " is a commonly used sarcastically to make fun of those who think they know more than they actually do. Most would know that, and yet you're having to have it explained to you. Well, at least it's starting to get funny. Even if in a pathetic sort of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURaptor 1,125 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Actually I'm not a batman kind of guy. But that's irrelevant . Yes, because I said I proved it. Because I did, cole. It was a clear example of that word being used, as it's been used for years & decades before, having zero racial connotation . Because it doesn't. And there are plenty more examples , buy i'll bet you dismiss them out of hand , because you simply don't WANT to accept the truth. I just knew if I came into the political forum of an Auburn site I would read about the Joker in the context of racism. That's because for some, EVERYTHING is about racism. Just not me.

Strychnine 1,802 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 is it wrong that i have never watched any of the batman movies? The newer trilogy is definitely worth watching, but the older ones can (and probably should) be skipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not SERIOUSLY name calling me and telling me to " shut up " like you're some 8 yr old, after I've proven my point, and you've done exactly NOTHING to dispute what I said or show where " thug " is a racist term.
