I bet you could make a white joke on the OTB and nothing would happen. In fact I'm pretty sure there was a make fun of white people thread a while back.

Don't tell him that! I thought we agreed to stop white jokes during our last meeting?

The OTB makes fun of everyone, esp. the regulars. It's like David Hasselhoffer's roast. Absolutely no one means anything by it. For true bigots, visit the CA board. I don't even know the racial make-up of the OTB, but it's probably not as white as you expect by your comments.

some of the posts in the Racoon thread were uncool. they straddled the line of being offensive and being joke-about-a-stereotype funny.

I suggest this:

1. if you don't like a post, flag it. Let the mods deal with it
2. if you think a mod is out of line, PM them and politely explain why
3. if things continue and you think offensive posts are still on there, politely report it on this board or PM HowardMass.

Are we really comparing the OT Board to David Hasselhoff's roast? Because if that's the case, then anything goes. I don't see why a thread would get locked and someone would ever possibly get a warning.

But hey, if that's the case, and that goes for every poster, then I hope we can let that be known.

It's difficult to explain. Racist folk on the OTB truly do not exist or at least to my knowledge. They just a bunch of folk who don't get offended as much as others. They can tell what a joke is and what is not. And, they are multi-cultural.

Yupp, I definitely agree. But how are you going to draw the line through an online forum? Either there's a discrete line or no line at all. You can't make rules with such thorough vagueness.

Smh..do you people even read the thread or just comment anyway? You really think I care if you were "on my side" too?
So much damn ignorance it's amazing really.


"By the way, see if you can fill in the blank and guess this word that means "annoying people":
N_GGERS

Yep, you got it...it's NAGGERS."

Mod said that^

"Kyrama wrote:
The male coons get me angry because they get the loud, obnoxious female coons pregnant and then run off."

"i heard coons are put off by the prospect of education, so carry a good book around with you"
Random racist ^


"With how the they are portrayed by the media, I don't blame anyone for being scared of a coon."


ALL comments from separate posters / mod.
And i didnt even go to the first 2 pages to get those. So really, IM the one finding hidden meanings and being racist myself?

And thats ONE thread, if you go to other team forums theres these little kids typing racist shi t / posting racist pictures ALL the time. Mods are all white seem to never care.
Bet my life if it was a white joke / warns would come so damn fast the site would crash.

And you people sitting here saying, "oh it's nothing"
But when someone made a comment about white people being bad at basketball he got his last warning and banned.

Really???




Why are you quoting South Park?

on topic though, the off topic "regulars" are a very open minded group of posters, especially compared to the general board.

Specifically or Pacifically (as in the Pacific Region)? I think "coon" was just pushed into the for front of American terminology by South Park.

nah, "coon" has been pretty offensive for awhile in America. It's a word that could promote physical violence. But, I also realize there are people who don't realize the hurtfulness of it. We can only learn by conversations like this. Sounds like a hippy, but hug.

If you can't take a joke, get off the internet right now. You may become depressed and cry yourself to sleep at night if you find the OT board appalling.

I use to think it was strictly for aboriginals also but in remember the titans, the coach was refered to as 'Coach Coon' at some point.
