Racism

[scientificred]

I come from a multicultural city ie Bradford. if you read through the old messages on here I know full well black people suffer racism ie footballers and so on.. And its sickening. All im arguing for is that its not wide spread among English people to. I just dont think the UK is ultra racist..
My original start of this current debate is people making jokes and the being cancelled for it. Its gotten to the point everything is classed as racism. even though there is zero intent . The"comedian" who told the joke recently..Knew by saying the joke he would be fired/cancelled and degraded.And it turned out that way..

I have never liked stand up comedians. Their fall back seemed to be always lots of swearing and racial stereotypes backed up with bullying of those who did not find them funny.
What I found about them more disturbing was that it was not 'stand up' and truly improvised comedy but rather well rehearsed and sometimes in front of a mirror, at home and alone. Saddoes!
If that is your biscuit then you are welcome to it of course.

I dont watch stand up comedy either. But the comedy i do watch wouldnt be allowed anymore. basically comedy is NOT allowed.
Comedy attacks one person or another. Like mother in laws.. I have a joke that goes like this.. I took the mother in law out last week.. Damn I love being a sniper..

What i cant stand is people that look for faults that arent there. to make themselves feel superior. when in reality they have their own dislike of some people and so on.

What do you call 50 white men chasing a black man ? The US PGA.
Funny or racist ?

The Native Americans were mostly wiped out by new diseases and not having immunity.
Disease and the division they sow within a society are 2 evolutionary reasons for why foreigners are distrusted. Its evolutionarily adaptive to have strong positive and negative ethnonationalist traits.
Same way under more natural circumstances people settle into areas within their own tribes/races etc.

Thomas sowell has an interesting hypothesis, a nature of paradox, whereby the all men are created equal line fuelled the racism and fuelled the abolition of slavery.
Whereas in other places without that line, there was no idea present that stated they were equal, and no idea they should be freed.

If nearly every culture had slaves and ending slavery in the modern world is synonymous with one tribe, surely they deserve every bit of credit for ending slavery.

I've posted quite a bit elsewhere about global warming. Not overly concerned about it tbh for numerous reasons, the actual projections, where/when the impacts occur, means of carbon capture like allen savoury ted talk or other systems, at present we are set for about 0.5 degrees Celsius of warming by 2100 and I suspect we'll reduce that significantly.

The benefits of advancement in terms of reduced infant mortality, disease, literacy, education, technology are far greater.

You have some curious history books CCTV.
You perhaps deny this genocide ?
Your version of events is a story often given for the demise of South American tribes.
Have you ever heard of 'Bury my heart at wounded knee'?
Have you ever heard of Buffalo Bill?
Have you ever seen that iconic picture of
him atop 100s of dead buffalo?
What was that all about?
Perhaps after massacring whole swathes of red Indians the US government was offering huge bounties to anyone who slaughtered those beasts per heàd to avoid any resurgence of that red Indian species as they had realised that the buffalo was their 'Raison d'etre'(sorry but do not have the correct e accent on my keyboard).

Are you aware of the 'dormant' English sub- culture that persists in english culture?

There will always be a dormant sub culture in every walk of life. At least it's better dormant than active . Sadly we'll never get rid of extremists but who are in the minority.

I should've said it was a joke in a Hollywood film 20 years ago.

Reminiscent of a Bob Monkhouse joke whereby the audience never really understood it but he left them with jaws agape for a few seconds before having to explain it.
Oh Tiger Woods!
Hilarious?
I think not!

I take it you don't find blazing saddles funny then. Saying that I would find it hard to know what you would find funny. Maybe the Last leg on channel 4 maybe ?

If i was boring shit i would go back through every comment Scentificred ever made online and see if he mention something that would be considered racist/homophobic/sexist and cancel him for all eternity.
there is comments and then theres RACISM. the both get placed together these days.

I'm leaving this conversation by saying. I find racism deplorable. The people that attack black footballers over missed penalties are sick and hopefully they can be found and detected an dealt with. thats all we can do has a society is deal with people who are like this. But you can't stop it all. you will always get people who are incapable of learning and understanding.

Totally agree. Though the big social media companies need to sort their houses out before anything changes.

Yep. But they won't. If big tech firms aren't going to act over horrific things like child abuse and paedophilia they aint doing shit about some toe rags sending racist tweets to footballers.

Correct about Blazing Saddles.
I found the Dollar Westerns quite amusing.
I find spontaneous situations funny. mostly.
I also found 'Ernest Moss calling to Mrs Calf as she was pushing her pram and asking her if she had a name for the baby yet' very funny.
Her answer was 'Paul'.
