Let's see.....

Rich star
Celebrity lawyers
Brainwashed fans
Did I mention rich, rich rich?

We the jury find the defendant Innocent of all charges.

Unfortunate but true.

If he does get found guilty, he will dissappear pretty quick.

Well, there's been quite a bit of doubt about whether he's as rich as he seems. Apparently, like so many professional boxers, rock stars, and sports figures, he spends money like water, and hasn't turned out a single album worth crap since "Bad," which was several years ago, now. Somehow, I can't help but think that in a few years, we will be reading about how he administered the death penalty to himself.

Surrounded by as many people as he surrounded himself by, yet no one would level with him seriously enough to say, "Michael, I don't know what you're doing, but you need to GET OFF this thing you have for little kids. It's not going to be good for you in the long run and you need to find a new hobby."

How come it's always the white folks (mostly the white men) who whine the loudest about gender/cultural/racial/religious sensitivity? Just wondering...

Oh...and as freaky as Michael is, I keep reminding myself that in America, all defendants are innocent until proven guilty. I don't know if he did it...but it's always sad to see our justice system undermined by having trials go on in the media and public, before there's even a court date.

If you're aiming that comment at me, I'm a good portion Chippewa Indian, thanks. As a kid, I played with Italian, South American, white, black, and Hispanic kids. We didn't have "sensitivity training." We called each other all sorts of names, racial slurs, talked bad about each others' mamas, and sometimes feelings got hurt and people got bloody noses, and in the end, we went right on playing together and being friends.

In the Army, my life was in the hands of blacks, Hispanics, whites, and racially ambiguous others. I would have given my life for any of them, and killed to protect any of them.

I left the United States in 1987 and lived in Japanese society for ten years. Four of those years, I lived way out in the country, on the Chiba Peninsula, where I was the only non-Japanese person that most of them had ever seen, in person. I know what it is to be a minority, and my wife is Japanese, and my daughter is half-Japanese, so I will thank you not to tar and feather me with the brush of being racially/culturally insensitive.

Again, I wil reiterate: "Sensitivity training" and all the other pop-psychology crap that's being forced down our kids' throats in the name of "political correctness" is bullshit, pure and simple.  >:(

All this time I thought... Oh. never mind.

I'm sure that if I told Frank that my friends and I used to play cowboys and Indians when we were young, he wouldn't get all shook up about it.

When people tell jokes about drunken Irish men, I don't give a flip about it.

Jokes are jokes. Some may be offended but the ones who are offended the most have the smallest sense of humor.

If you can't laugh at yourself, why bother living?

A final thought on "sensitivity training"

This isn't something that's going to work out the way educators think it will. In the end, all it's going to do is breed resentment, further widen the gap of racial division, and create a backlash. Compared with where race relations were in the 70's and 80's, I think things are worse today, and being exacerbated by things like "political correctness."

Frank, I didn't aim that comment at you...just an observation I made. I have a very different perspective than you do when it comes to those things. I am a woman and I am of color. Would you like your daughter to go to school someday and be mercilessly teased by boys about "girl" things? Would you like her 4th grade classmates telling her jokes that they overhear their dad's tell? She is bi-racial, would you like her to be called names for that? That's what happens in school, that's why schools address those issues. I'd be suing the ass off our local school district if mooshie was harrassed and it was not addressed.
And God knows...you all know I like a good joke. I don't care if it's "PC" ...funny is funny.
Now...stop joking and turn this thread into the fight I was hoping for!!! Bunch o' pasty face white ass fuc...

LMAO, Nani. You're right, I would be upset if Julia were harassed at school, and I do see and appreciate your perspective. If Julia were harassed, I would try to get her to deal with it, because kids being kids, this sort of thing is always going to happen. If it were an ongoing and relentless problem, then I'd go down to the school and have a talk with the principal and Julia's teacher, in addition to speaking with the parents, if things got to that point.

Parenthood is tough, but I don't believe that these school programs are making it any easier in the long run. I hope I'm wrong...

My question to anybody is when did it become a bad thing to be white? We live in a very ethnic area of Chicago suburbs were everyday my son was teased so badly about being a little white boy that he lied about himself and his heritage just to fit in around here. He told everybody that he was Italian. For some reason around here if you can not clam to be of cetin ethnic groups your life is a living hell in school. Again, I ask when did begin white or ambiguous of ethnicity become something someone should be ashamed of I am sorry I thought I lived in America. Why should he take sensitivity training.

Backlash from the civil rights movement. A few bad white folks made it miserable for the rest of them. Another reason why sensitivity and tolerance training is a good thing. Why can't we just be people?
Teaching kids to deal with stuff at home is a good thing. But the "kids will be kids" and the "boys will be boys" mindsets of the past....very bad. Kids will be what we expect of them...I have high standards.

I don't know if I'd go that far. If you look at the history of most peoples, there's stuff to be proud about and stuff to be not so proud about. Although I'm white, and actually pretty conservative in most ways, there's an awful lot that white folks have done that shouldn't be a big pride-swelling thing. Just as African American culture shouldn't probably have a groundswell of pride over the "gangsta" rap scene.


I am proud of who I am, not because I am white.  But for what I have done and how I've become who I am.

As far as history goes I do not believe that the human race has anything to be proud of all we can do is study history learn from it and not repeat it. I personally do not believe I should be ashamed of anything. My grandmother is full blooded American Indian Black foot and the rest of my family is German. My great-grand parents came to America to escape poverty and the oppression that was happening at the time in Germany. My one Grandmother face many hardships being raised on a reservation and being native American is not an easy way to live even today but back then even harder.  Poverty, Alcoholism, Child and wife abuse were common place and everybody just looked the other way.  My other grandmother was German immigrant during a time when anything German in this county was hated. She could not even speak her native tongue. I things in there house that were German or written in German were destroyed. They did not want to be thought of as un-American. So I am proud to be white, I think my son should be as well!!!!!!!!

I agree that you (we all) should be proud of y(our) heritage. If we are seeing situtations where white kids are being singled out that should draw attention as well. I am an idealist, I guess. I figure if we address these issues when children are young, teaching them that what really matters is how we "as individuals" behave in concert with the rest of society, there may be hope for our future. Often, educators are having to fight generations of "taught at home" prejudice as well as the reality of society, and try to get this message across. I don't kid myself and think the school districts are doing this for the right reasons. It's clearly a case of CYA...they're protecting themselves from people like me, who'd sue their asses if they didn't protect my kid. We should teach our kids how to cope but ultimately, it's our job to protect them.
What can I say...I'm an old hippie.

I have let your little snippets go unreacted to for quite some time, but to tell you the truth, you seem to be the most outspoken racist on this board and a prime example of why "white guys" get bent out of shape when the subject of sensitivity and political correctness are brought up.  If you go back and look, you are the one who introduced race into a topic where race wasn't at issue.

Not to mention someone who seems to be concerned with the color of peoples' skin and even who enjoys taking liberties that you would otherwise complain about were it the other way around.

And before you try to take a bite here, you should know that  I was also raised in the military and in the public school system with children of many races, religions and nationalities.  I am Choctaw Indian and Irish on my father's side and German and English on my mother's side.  In high school, even in the deep south in Louisinana, I only had three people that I hung out with - one was Cajun and two were Black.  I served in the military with people of all races and have had people of all races as guests in my house and at my dinner table.  I was married to a Korean woman for 5 years and lived in a Korean community in Tacoma, Wa.  I have never had a "Black" friend or a "Mexican" friend or an "Asian" friend.  I just have friends.  The color of their skin has never mattered.  

Don't want race to be an issue?  Don't make it an issue.

You just said that you have never had "a black friend" or thought about people from that perspective. Yet, in the same paragraph you make note that two of the three people you hung with were "black". And that you had a Korean wife. Which is it, you do, or don't think along those lines. When the argument is to be made by you, you feel comfortable defining yourself by how you define others -- but when others define themselves along those same lines you disagree.....

Don't even try.  I'm not the one who initially brought up race.  The only reason for saying any of it was to illustrate that it didn't matter to me even as far back as then and it still doesn't.  Otherwise, I wouldn't have mentioned it at all.  Any mental midget would have understood that unless they were of a mind to stir up more crap.

I am trying to stir it up a little, granted. I just find that I just want to laugh when people start one-upping each other about how culturally sensitive they are, or how they're more color blind than someone else.

I don't care what anyone says. We all have to live with it. Our cultural heritage and the color of our skin are a function of our identity. Wonderfully we have actually reached a day when such a larger percentage of the population can find the joy (and sometimes humor) in those differences. Hell, stereotypes about white guys are actually pretty funny.

You can't hide it, so embrace it. That's all i'm saying when it comes to stirring the pot on the this one. The "market" always takes care of itself when it comes to issues as well as business. And the answer always lies in the middle.

I am trying to stir it up a little, granted. I just find that I just want to laugh when people start one-upping each other about how culturally sensitive they are, or how they're more color blind than someone else.

And yes I did read the rest of your post, but I hope like hell you are not referring to me MR. Canuck hater.  ;)  When I see a white guy, I see a white guy, when I see a black guy I know he's a black guy, it's because my eyes do work.  Now will I judge this person based on the color of their skin?  HELL NO!  And as far as being culturally sensitive, that's the biggest joke in the world.  Cultural sensitivity is only something that the "white man" has to conform to.  Nobody gives a rat's ass about my "culture" and guess what, I don't give a rat's ass about yours.

"Lighten up people...it's an effen joke. "

Is someone making fun of "effens"? I don't see people laying down jokes about about other ethnicities, why just "effens"?

Did you head the one about the effen who couldn't stop swearing at the immigration agent?

edited to add: Oh, for the record, I have just enough white European heritage to give me CH.

Hmmmmm I may joke around, yes.  But joking about race is really something that offends me.  Pardon me if you think I'm a dumbass and walk around not being "hip" which I guess by today's standards means I don't wear my hat crooked, and drive a car with 20" wheels, have a posse of ho's and walk like one of my legs is crooked.  I don't use the words the nifty and neato.  And I have a big dick and know what to do with it.

As for the rest  of your post, your point was what. You don't like anyone else's culture. I love everyone else's culture, including my own. It's what makes this whole trip rich man. Or, maybe i'm an old hippy too.

Well I do like Mexican food, Italian wine, French bread and all kinds of women, so does that make me more cultural sensitive?  It all depends on your definition of culture and sensitivity, anybody can do what ever they want as long as it doesn't affect me or my tax dollars, you dig?

Off the racial thing and on to the Sensitivity trainning thing.

Ok sending a 13 year old boy to sensitivity class is like sending a bull in for a class on table manners.

And if it were truly a sensitivity class I would not have a problem with it, but come on lets be honest, it not.

He will go in there be givin something to read that he won't, and a movie to watch that he will take a nap during.

He might write a note to his girlfriend, scratch his ass, pick his nose. Then come home and b*tch about a wasted Sat. that he could have spent playing computer games online with people from all around the world!!!!

I have let your little snippets go unreacted to for quite some time, but to tell you the truth, you seem to be the most outspoken racist on this board and a prime example of why "white guys" get bent out of shape when the subject of sensitivity and political correctness are brought up.  If you go back and look, you are the one who introduced race into a topic where race wasn't at issue.


Gator,
  Did all the quotes you had in this post belong to Nani? I am assuming you are saying that but you cut out the quote from part of the code. I only found one of the quotes in this thread so I knew it was Nani's. If the other quotes are from different threads please include a link to verify before publicly posting something like that. If they are all from this thread then please forgive me. I'm sure your point would be clearer if a little common sense was used.

Opus/Paul  someone who makes tons of mistakes too and is glad when they are pointed out.

They're all mine, Paul. Out of context, to be sure, but mine nonetheless. All of them were jokes, but you wouldn't know that just seeing that part.

Remember Michael Jackson?

I'm not so sure this sad piece of work is so poor. Doesn't he own most of the rights to The Beatle's songs?
