edit - racism may be around, but this was clearly a misunderstanding

ATOT Poster: Golly am I upset. One of the kids of my KKK coven mate was drowned in the drinking faucet today for calling one of the other chinlren the N word.

ATOT responers: Get a life. Take your PC complaint and stick it. Just another dirty bigot down the tubes. Good.

Any chance you could refer back to my earlier question?

Cyberian, that was the translation you asked for. Maybe you just don't have a slippery mind. I really hate to sever a thread with a sword, but here goes:

A guy gets upset because a teacher uses the word beloved patriot. Everybody slams him as PC. Relax man, don't take everything so seriously. Don't grab every racial reference and poke yourself in the ass with it. This kind or reaction to racial sensitivity always comes from, you guessed it, the dominant majority, the white boys who haven't the faintest idea what it's like to suffer under the enormous bigotry that's all around us. The problem is not that some people art too PC, it's that too many people are ignoramuses about what it?s like to be different in almost any way. People feel so bad about themselves they are dumping on others all the time.

I thought it would be great to see a day when every time somebody opens up with one of the myriad of slurs we have all heard too many of they got their heads blown off. Think of the injustice. You can't even be a bigot anymore. Man oh man, open your mouth and the PC crowd blows you away. Oh how horrible. Horrible my ass all the anti PC people will say. They were nothing but a bunch of GD racists, don't be so sensitive. Don't let little stuff like that bother you. Don't go grabbing arrows out of the air and sticking yourself in the but with them.

there is something many of you are clearly forgetting, or simply choosing to ignore: I WAS WRONG AND I ADMITTED IT VERY EARLY ON. but goddamn, some of you are so "anti-pc" that a burning cross planted in front of rosa park's house wouldn't be considered offensive. and before you start, no, my situation wasn't 1/1000 of something like that. but let's revisit what the situation was:

1. thought someone said "beloved patriot" to me in a derogatory way while knowing i'm jewish
2. posted on atot, wondering if i should talk to the person to find out exactly what she said
3. found out it was a misunderstanding

i'm dropping it. i heard wrong, i admitted it the second i found out. but many of you are accusing me of being overly sensitive for believing someone used what i thought was an offensive slur. i can't understand that. if (hypothetically) someone had called me a "beloved patriot," there would seem to be very little in the way of disapproval. i'm not pc. i thought i heard something i didn't, and when i found out i was wrong everything went back to normal. but many of you are so knee-jerk anti-pc that you're completely deadend. you have no feelings; you can't imagine anything being so offensive as to actually cause distress to someone unless they're bleeding as a result. and, believe it or not, i'm actually happy for you, because you probably can't ever experience anything like being the target of racism. but racism doesn't get dealt with by being ignored, it gets dealt with by being confronted, educated, and told it's wrong. and although i'm not by any means looking out for opportunities to be offended, and i know it didn't happen in this instance, if it does happen you better fvcking believe i'm not going to pretend it didn't.

you're too sensitive and it isn't because you're a "victim". puh-lease, you don't know what racism means if you consider this to be racism. racism is having people call you at 4AM screaming at you to "go back to your country". racism is being told to sit at the back of the bus because you're the wrong color. racism is not somebody using a term in common speech in a manner that was not intended to deride anyone.

Very nicely put. [/quote]

Actually he didnt even get called beloved patriot. thats the problem he thought he heard it. If she came up to him and said it then yeah punch her lights out. But he was NOT even sure what she said.

he decided to come on here half cocked claiming she might be a racist. that is what most of us were complaining about.

In fairness to Dolph (even though he called me Adul in his edited post ) he did state in his initial post that he could very well be wrong and have not heard what he thought he heard. Since he had never heard the word kipe but was obviously familiar with the word beloved patriot it seems that it was a reasonable assumption. The fact that he was open to the idea that he might have misunderstood indicates to me that he was not being PC but rather looking for an explanation for why he may not have heard what he thought he had heard.

Well, at least you had the courtesy of making sure you knew what was said.

I was once talking with a friend about marketing, and started to get harrassed by a black guy nearby. He kept trying to stare me down and mumbling stuff. Finally I just turned to him and ask what his problem was. His response was that I should know. Some people really are just looking for a fight.

waggy, how is "i'm not going to bring it up with the principal, but i would like to talk to her about it, at least to clarify what she said. thoughts?" going off half cocked. The people who went of half cocked in my opinion ore those who are so traumatized by PC that they themselves go off even when a real instance of racism may be in the offing. It's called being defensive and generally covers up some sort of feeling of guilt, maybe even some guilt not related to being a racist, who knows.

LOL!

Anyway.. This post is nuts. PC people like you have no grounds to stand on. Even if she did say kiked, she obviously did not mean to segment a single race or anything for that matter. Hearing someone say the term 'kiked' does not constitute racial oppression.
