With "DaFunks joke", i meant the comment he was banned for. Not the one i quoted. Everyone knows Dilla said that.
Use your brain for a second: Who said something about things getting accomplished? Who said i want Dilla to be banned for his comment?
I asked for your opinion about the two comments and what you would do.

I don't really take white on black racism seriously. In Norway, it's not about racism. I don't dislike some colored people because of the color of their skin. I just know that they come from places where practices are different. Imagine a situation where shit hits the fan. I don't know what they are capable of. Maybe they'll stab me or maybe they'll walk away. There's uncertainty which in turn makes me uncertain about what to expect. I don't judge their culture, I just don't want to be a victim of something I didn't see coming. Fear of the unknown. Sue me.
But when it comes to America, it's my personal opinion that black people should have gotten over slavery a long time ago. I don't live in that culture or that environment though. I hear about police brutality and racism, but I can't observe it. To me, it's a thought concept, nothing more. I understand the intricacies of the American culture, and I realize that the reason why racism is such a big issue has to do with the evolution of history. Still, I don't take it all that serious because it's not part of my reality.
Similarly, I'd expect that dilla's comment came from a similar place. He wasn't there during the holocaust, he doesn't live in the country. Maybe some patriotic Germans feel shame. Maybe Germans don't like talking about it. Who knows. To dilla it probably means jack shit though. I'm not saying that makes it okay to throw out racial slur. I remember I was looking in the funny jokes thread, my roomie saw me and told me to post up the following joke that he made up on the spot: "What happened when the ****** took a shit? His mom came and ate it." It's just stupid, random, and if a black person takes offense to it I personally feel like they need to get over themselves. Da Funk's joke was meant much in the same manner. I guess if Ceasar got complaints from black visitors it puts him in a difficult position in this day and age, of racial and sexual equality. But I, personally, don't think his joke should pose a problem to anyone. I don't go haywire when I see fat jokes being thrown around, but I'm not gonna sit here and say that I'm a 100% comfortable with being overweight. It's not the be-all of my problems, but either way, I don't let it get to me.
And like I said, imo, dilla's joke wasn't that harsh. If Sebastian was a jew I would have a completely different opinion, but he's not. But I'm a very free spirited person. Any thought is worth entertaining to me, no matter how far-out, offensive or silly it is.

Then take it up again and find out why from the admins.
I used my brain and just got a headache so I stopped.
Why dont you take a pill and shut the fuck up for once before getting all pissy all the time.
Anyway, so you dont want to get anything accomplished? Then whats the point? All that will happen is people will come here, bitch, start beef then this thread will close.. I figured you of all people would see that coming.
Since when has there been a reasonable discussion on this board over issues like this in recent months/years?
Anyway whos talking about banning dilla??? I didnt say anything.
I dont think he or da funk should be banned without a warning or some sort of 3 strike rule
We had an entire thread dedicated to offensive jokes and that was ok.. its just a double standard
... there... happy?

First thing that came to my mind when i was reading this part:
Why? Im asking this because you mentioned earlier that some black people should have gotten over slavery a long time ago. Now when someone cracks a joke about slavery and they feel offended, you think they are wrong or over-reacting, right? But if i was in fact a jew and i would read Dillas comment, in your opinion, it would be understandable for you if i were pissed off? Is that correct?
Does anyone see irony with regard to his fear of this thread getting out of hand?

It just proves that a lot more people read the site and its comments than post. So just because the close knit group of posters didnt find it offensive because they know his humor, doesnt mean that other readers didnt find it offensive.
And like I said I had an African-American reader contact me over the comment.
Whoever said the holocaust comment should have been banned too. You have to understand all admins and supermods are only human and dont catch everything or pay attention to everything. I just saw that carmi reported the post on New Years Eve, I personally had other things to do and worry about. Sometimes that happens. If dilla says something like that again he will be banned just like da_funk, and that goes for anyone else.
