rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

btw I don't get how I get jumped on for arguing by posting dictionary definitions when people are using google result count as an argument, which is possibly the only argument worse than a dictionary definition

are u suffering from some form of autism. If someone says "cool!!" do u say "no its hot out!"

I suppose I really can't throw stones since I stole a frogbs quote for a display name tho

xp: remy no

(maybe I should change that name anyway because it is kind of an odd coda to every post I make)

i think maybe

never unimagine the penis

phantasmagoric castration: it's a thing

Not sure why this dn just occurred to me but

No wait this is better and is a poem I have actually read

Into his uppity musings, with a mild
And uppity sympathy, that steals away
Their uppityness, ere he is aware. When thoughts
Of the last uppity hour come like a blight

aww

are those supposed to be rap lyrics?

Yes.

i was wondering. some of those words sound made up.

you're the best/worst sock puppet ever

def funniest today

don't let the caul slip, frogbs.

who wants to start a band with me called Frog Bullshit

frogbs, blight is definitely a word. as in, you are a blight upon this message board.

Be kind and tender to the Frog,
And do not call him names,
As “Slimy skin,” or “Polly-wog,”
Or likewise “Ugly James,”
Or “Gap-a-grin,” or “Toad-gone-wrong,”
Or “Bill Bandy-knees”:
The Frog is justly sensitive
To epithets like these.
No animal will more repay
A treatment kind and fair;
At least so lonely people say
Who keep a frog (and, by the way,
They are extremely rare).

(Hilaire Belloc)

u are like the tuomas of american race relations

yeah, there is another way like he's like tuomas

hes a chaki sockpuppet?

test test

As “Slimy skin,” or “Polly-wog,”

is this racist?

No but cf. "gollywog"

still not v hilar imo

it's not funny at all, but the bit at the end about how frog retention is very rare appealed to me.

i was just punning on hilaire, i <3ed it

what a wonderful bird the frog are
he ain't got no sense hardly
he ain't got no tail hardly either
when he sit he sit on what he ain't got
almost

Guys, all these frogbs display names are very funny, but it really is hell on my killfile.

oh well that's just shoddy coding, obvs the killfile script should only compare against usernames, not display names

At some point in the not-so-distant past, Trent Reznor and his Nine Inch Nails compadres, just for the hellof it, dressed themselves up as Mexicans.

"I, I am not"

such a perfect and beautiful little NIN phrase

okay I finally read the segment of this argument I missed

thank you, all of you, for the painful belly lols

the "uppity" bomb was particularly amazing

of all the writers, rappers and assorted others i follow on twitter, Touré was one of only two i had to drop, iirc due to simply being too annoying over time

i bet he's real cut up abt it

uh i'm confused, is 'uppity' really racist? /tuomas
I'm British btw so please excuse me. We're all uppity here, this guy is our national hero: http://mrmen.wikia.com/wiki/Mr._Uppity
I mean, he is kind of brown but... ??

"uppity" isn't a racial slur, it's just used as a prefix to racial slurs often enough to carry some pretty unpleasant connotations

it was used to describe african americans who dared to stand up to degradation

OK. Genuinely surprised I've never heard of that until now.

"3nd Grade"

grammar is for losers.

buy uppity n***** mugs & shirts

y'know urban dictionary definitely isn't one of the very worst places on the internet but i really think it deserves to be in the conversation more than it is
