How can we call something gay bashing when we don't know when someone is gay?

It seems on this board, someone is called gay or a fag just to insult them, while not really
having any foreknowledge that the person is or is not of that orientation.  It's just another
way of calling denigrating someone, like calling out someone's mother.

I've never heard someone use a racial slur in that same way.  No one would call someone
else the 'n'-word as an insult, unless they KNEW that the person was a person of color.
If they use it otherwise, it's in the same way it is used in urban culture - more as a term of
endearment, not an insult. I've heard urban white kids call other white kids the 'n'-word, but
again, it's all part of the urban, hip-hop culture, not an insult.

So if i call someone the N'word but i don't know the persons race, then its not race bashing???Ok that makes sense..

Once again - there are a few of you starting to put racist comments into your posts.

This is not tolerated.

If you continue, and this is your warning, you will be put in Time Out mode and banned...

That also goes for PM's...

While we all have heated arguements, I am in no mood for the racist stuff....

go somewhere else if you continue...

seriously now...






...It's about time this issue was addressed. I didn't join this forum for that ignorant shiz-nit. Myself (and several others) were considering deleting our membership here.~ :-\

If you don't understand why some complex people are very stubborn mean-spirited racists, then you can't see the backwards reality that proves why America is a seriously sick racial experiment gone very very wrong >:(

I have always found these "gay" remarks on these forums repugnant. I do not undertand the context in which these remarks are used, it makes no sense. At best it is childish. If the people making these remarks are somehow trying to sound important, tough or superior, it does not work. Those people making those remarks are only diminishing themselves because the rest of us, most of us, do not repect you for doing so.

No offence meant to you, but in a fit of boredom as well as this post making me 'wonder', I checked out the rest of your posts. You are a very 'interesting' guy.

I agree but to me the same is for people that use racist remarks...They are just ignorant...But the truth is they make up a huge % of our population..I honestly believe that i myself am a better person because of what i hear and read from others...Imagine if we all lived in a political correct world...I believe it would make for an angrier world...Closet racist ect...Putting it all out in the open is much better in my opinion then hiding it...We as a society can take care of these people and opinions on our own...

...Who the hell said that? I've not once said that I've received "tons of PM's from others" and by the way, maybe just maybe people on this forum actually speak to one another on the phone rather than hide behind some keyboard pretending to be something they aren't.  Stop looking for a fight you won't win. I'm done commenting on this subject.~ ::)

they're probably minorities

they're not gay and they're not women therefore they aren't offended

as long as people like them aren't insulted they don't care what is said ::)

I have always thought the free for all, wild west atmosphere on this board was one of its strengths.  True, the level of awareness of some of the posts borders on the Neanderthal, but people have been able to say exactly what they think. The politically incorrect hate language has sometimes disclosed some uncomfortable truths about bodybuilding that hasn't been acknowledged anywhere else--namely, that there is a lot of homophobic hatred among bodybuilders & their fans, that men often deeply resent women of any shape & kind, & that bodybuilding as a competitive & fan activity is often deeply racist (on all sides, not just white racism--I've seen some anti-white racism at competitions as well).

I would rather read racist, homophobic & sexist posts than see censorship imposed.  With that censorship, a lot of of the freewheeling spirit of the board will be lost, & we can just call it Mayhem II.

Quit using those BIG words before you choke on one of those...

 Everything you said...was all bullshit. Thank you.

and in reply to
Ronnie speaks like many southerners do, black or white. the key to the way that they speak, regardless of color, is the linguistic style known as consonent reduction simplification (crs). wherein, consonents are either omitted(to the listener) or barely stressed as in usual speech. this would, to the listener unfamiliar with a dialect that has this property, probably sound unintelligent, or, like "gibberish."
but still.... how he speaks has nothing to do with his physique.

Did you almost choke on some of those big words?

I believe you feel we are pontificating. I am not and I believe venom gang.bronze was just adding some intelligent insight to the discussion-very useful, I might add, for keeping this discussion on track.

When I post about something less important, I will post informally. There was nothing wrong with the principles conveyed in my post.

Reading your other posts, TheBlockHead, you are making good points. If you do not know the definition of a word that is posted, don’t be ashamed, look it up man! Just like any successful black man could tell you, educating yourself is not a bad thing!(That insight is derived from the teachings of Roger Wilkins.) If I don’t know something being discussed, I look it up and learn more.

Peace bro.

Thank You Ron. This Asian American is grateful for the change! :(
..as is this African American. The racist stuff is very telling/disturbing and says a lot about peoples inner feelings but it has NO PLACE ON THIS BOARD!  Find a KKK website somewhere if that's how you feel(there are PLENTY of them)-Well done Ron   :)

You remind me of the Wayans Bros. on 'In Living Color' when they played those two guys in prison trying to sound and talk super educated...

 "..so you see, the monoprolification of the social agenda...fornicates with the ejaculation of the equation of which...man has the ovulation to rise above all injustices that may defecate thier own menstrations."

 Hey dawg...how much you wanna bet when I say I'm right that you vote Republican, thought Theodore Huxtible was cool and raised alot of family eyebrows with your eh...bride or girlfriend becaue they uh...you know...looked 'lily'?

It really is easy to tell things about a person from reading their posts, isn't it Block. Like the time I guessed by your racist overtones that you don't even pull in 50 g's a year, and low and behold it turns out you are disgruntled about not being able to get a city job ;)

Move to Oakland Township Michigan, if you do the reserve fireman thing for 6 months, you'll be full time in the waterford department.

 Thanks for the tip, player.

 If I ever moved out of Chicago it would be somewhere in TX or Phoenix. Possibly NY.

 I'm kicking those ideas around. I'd hate to leave my gym behind though BUT...that's life.

No problem. My buddy is in charge of hiring and he said he was looking for 3 firemen and NO ONE has passed some state certified physical test thing, kind of sad actually. I live in a lazy, fat state.

I was just in Schaumburg yesterday stuffing myself silly sick with sushi for days at ToDai.

 I don't reside in any suburb...this player is from the SOUTHSIDE...the wildside...the best side! In the city. If you ever been to a White Sox game...about 5 blocks SOUTH of there.

this is true.

why doesnt everybody whos 'offended' -those MORONS who keep complaining to the mods-stop whining about stupid crap that doesnt matter and stop getting your panties in a twist over stuff thats not even a big deal.

if you assholes want everything censored and controlled so that not one single person is offended by anything either go isolate yourselves from the world and live in a closet with a feeding tube built in or move to north korea or something, fucking worthless whiney assholes.
