Originally posted by Darth SubjektCarlos Mancia makes fun of Juan, Tyrone, Ahmed, and Mark. Chris Rock makes fun of white people but if you've ever watched an entire show of his you'll notice he also makes fun of black stereotypes. Most comedians that have racially-geared jokes touch base on more than one race. What does focusing on the fact that Chris Rock said cracker accomplish? Its comedy, meant to be taken lightly. One can always tell when the joke is said with animosity. When Kramer started his racist ranting, it was obviously a totally different thing from someone saying white people pronounce the entire word when they talk. But I saw a guy (I forget his name) bring a black guy up on stage in Atlantic City in a club that had mostly black patrons. When he asked the guy what he did the guy said "I'm a music producer." and the comedian looks him up and down and says "Let me guess, for rap?" and the guy is like "Yea..." and the whole club busts out laughing.
not at all, i was just trying to prove a point. In that movie for instance, they called him everything but a white man, clowned him about his clothes, speech, and skin. OK, big deal right? If that had been in reverse the lack community would have cried foul and "victimized" themselves, thusly perpetuation the cycle, as we both have said. If Chris Rock calls a white guy a honky or cracker, its funny...if (insert random white comedian here) calls a black guy a n!gger or something, he's a racist piece of shit who needs to be castrated. All I'm saying is pay attention to the ones who are actually making victims of themselves, but using misdirection to place the focus on the other man. I don't identify more with my white side anymore than my black, but i feel for both and stick up for both in these situations when called for. I can call a spade a spade (no pun intended, seriously)
All I'm trying to say is don't fall into the trap of "But they are just as recist!" or "You can't make fun of other races because that's racist!" because its just another way for us to hate each other. Spread love not hate 😄

You are a racist sir. You're discriminating against us non-blended whites who speak out on what Subjekt has said. That is racist and discriminatory.Or useful in the long run.
LOL, i feel ya man...but you have to admit that black/Latinos making fun of whites is far more acceptable that the reverse. Kramer's a cockstain, so he's omitted from this obviously, but what if Dice Clay said "i remember the niggas used to have jerri-curl, it looked like greasy Brillo pad." or something like that, they'd get mad. Not every white cat is either a nerd/surfer/or metal head, there's many different facets, and thats the way it is. Oh well, bout to spread the love like butter on toast...
Originally posted by Darth SubjektTrue that. I'd probably be offended if Dane Cook said "I had this neighbor, he was such a ****ing spic. He would dance all the time. He'd salsa as he was getting his newspaper." And I agree that there's more to white people than the stereotypes. But there's more to teenagers than jocks, geeks, drama dorks and druggies. But every high school movie has them split into these groups. Stereotypes are funny, especially the true ones. I heard a comedian today. He said "There's no wrong or right jokes. There's funny and not funny. If its funny you laugh, if its not you don't. No reason to get all politically correct with it."

Now I know there is a lot of people out there who hate or dislike Episode 1 for... well hundreds of difference reasons. I do not mind the movie myself. It is bearable at times, dependign on my mood. It is so bad other times that I just laugh, or scoff or whatever. But mostly the way I get through this movie is through comedy. My brother and I have a little running gag that George Lucas is a Racist lol(just to be funny, not seriously) and that there are many horriblly racist things in conjoncture with episode one, or star wars in general for that matter, in the latter episodes anyway.Lando is the only Black person in the original trilogy. Obviously the gungans(Meesah Jar Jar Binks, Me sah dance around and...) are a bit controversial, but then again what isnt, depending on how you see things, or choose to see things. Everyone is different right?
Well one day i was looking, wherever and found many articles about episode 1 and how others, fans, crtics thought many of the same things, and for different reasons, for the same reasons, based on whatever speculation. Now, my brother and I were just joking to pass the time, nto serious at all. But ive heard some damn good theories, and though i cant take most seriously, some are intriging. Obviously others think what we were thinking, so how many think along those lines when it comes down to episode 2?
I really don't think Lucas was being racist. I mean to be fair and just Mace Windu was the only human (and he was black) that was on the Jedu Council until Episode II came around. And really most characters in Star Wars are usually some type of robot or alien.
Lando did become general of the rebellion.
