ESPN makes RACIST joke of Yao Ming

if you're a cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.
if you're a cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.
if you're a cracka, and you know it, and you really want to show it,
and if you're cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.

i know cracker isn't a stereotype. it's a name for people who make dumb remarks.

now how would you crackers like it if all colored people taught their kids to sing this song to your children when they're young and degraded them. personally, that would show them a little taste of their own medicine.

i normally don't resort to that since its disrespectful to them. but in this case, i'll make an exception since people apparently don't think anything is offensive.

 

Now I know that you are really confused and out of your league.

A "Cracker" is a term for a poor southern white.

So, Im not white and Im not poor . But, you can go ahead and use that on me even though it makes absolutely no sense. A better comeback would be to tell me to go and blow myself up. That would at least be somewhat relevant.

 

no, for one thing, i doubt you're actually middle eastern. and i know cracker means white person. so here goes:

if you're a cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.
if you're a cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.
if you're a cracka, and you know it, and you really want to show it,
and if you're cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.

i wonder whether minorities should teach their little kids these nursery rhymes and let them dis white people by singing them. give them a little taste of their own medicine.

 

My name is Reza...thus Rezdawg as my name here. Its a persian name. Born in Tehran, Iran.

Nice try though.

 

Again, it's the straw that breaks the camel's back. It's a stupidly complex issue.

I haven't seen a Middle Easterner in an action movie since 9/11. Must be because their typecasted roles are now unmentionable.

I don't see the TV and movies as the best way of finding truth in things (even if it's so damn fun to watch). Comedians might stretch the truth, but it's to make you laugh more than anything else.

 

dnaslam, you need to clarify you point.

You've lost me.

 

i could call myself aladdin on the internet and act like i'm not offended by middle eastern jokes also when i could really be a cracker.

if you're a cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.
if you're a cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.
if you're a cracka, and you know it, and you really want to show it,
and if you're cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.

 

Okay, you're an idiot.

Besides, you are missing the point...Cracker is not a stereotype, thus it has nothing to do with this thread or with the discussions in this thread.

 

Koseh nanat madar sageh goh. Boro keereh pedaretoh meek bezan. Ahmagh.

Go look it up in a persian dictionary.

 

shut up aladdin. stereotypes, isn't this thread on racism dummy? stereotypes-racism, is like cause and effect.

 

The thread starter thought this was about racism, but he was wrong.

 

yeah i like halal beef too. just playin'

if you're a cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.
if you're a cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.
if you're a cracka, and you know it, and you really want to show it,
and if you're cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.

 

I dont like halal beef, but if it floats your boat, go for it.

 

Heh heh!!! rezdawg, it's obvious that you don't let stereotypes (Iranian) effect you!

That's been my position for the longest time.

Some people feel victimized because they don't know how to deal with sterotypes. They become reactive (anger).

 

have you ever tried halal beef burgers. those are really tasty. yum yum.

 

There are too many real concerns in life to let stuff like that bother you. People need to unbutton their shirts, grab a drink, relax a little and enjoy.

 

I wouldnt put them in movies either. Not at this time in America. Actually, come to think of it, Im sure they are in action movies...as the bad guys. Go to the middle east and they are all over the big screens.

 

can you get me a halal beef burger while you're at it?

if you're a cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.
if you're a cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.
if you're a cracka, and you know it, and you really want to show it,
and if you're cracka, and you know it, clap your hands.

 

Yep. Hollywood is running out of cultures to tag as the "bad guy."

Who's next? Koreans?

 

Im in Houston...dont feel like going to that part of town at 3:30 in the morning. I dont want to get shot.

Maybe another day.
