On a side question. Wud it be racist if i got a Nazi swastika tattoo??
Now here me out... this isn't that crazy.
Being black myself, i have no affinity to Nazi ideology, which is generally abhorrent to me (except the discipline bit). But like i did a good image search for Edward Norton and saw a picture of him from American History X with a swastika. I think he looks badass.
Swastika tattooes are bad-ass. I wonder if i could pull it off on my chest like some po-mo irony like the punk rockers offending the establishment by pledging my allegiance to beelzebub.
Or is it too soon?????
T.I.A.
- this would be an impulsive move I would caution againstkelpie
- yeah, thanks for the opinion. Anyone else?? I'm still kinda on the fence.... :-/Khurram
- if one day you visit a buddhist country, you'll be glad to see them on every templeGeorgesII
- I wanted to use a swastika in my shroom company logo. I was overruled, for obvious reasons.Nairn

this is supposed to be more offensive that the gif?
yeah thats what I was thinking all along during the other "is this rascist" thread,
lots of politically correct but only when the mob mentality is going and going and going....- I totally agree with you that this was racist only in the eye of the beholderkelpie
- the president only signed it, not wroteraf
- 100% racist without a doubt!SillyBilly

maybe i could do my own "take" on the white supremacist tattoos.
Like play on the imagery, but do it slightly different. Like do my own version of the "eagle" thing barbed wire, skull and cross bone, christian cross etc... Sort of a nod to the violent culture without fully endorsing it.
This is an idea i'm having as i type this...

it'd look quite threatening when you're doing your thai boxing in tournament right enough.
whether it provided an advantage or not I couldn't possibly say
- yeah, see that's the idea.Khurram
- tho, to be honest, this macho shit that i've been trying to sustain is turning me neurotic. I should prollyKhurram
- be moving away from that crap. hrrrmmph.Khurram
- especially when you start rabbiting on about Israeli war crimes too, y'know?kelpie
- in fact, you talking your kind of politics, while emblazoned in nazi imagery is a daily mail writing absolute dreamkelpie
- LOL. OMG!!!! WHAT AM I THINKING???Khurram
- Dammit your the kinda level headed friend i need from doing someting stupid! THANKS XXXKhurram
- hahahahakelpie
- it would give you power if you could rub it and make yourself 10 inches taller?mistermik

If you think that is racist then you ARE the racist in my opinion - because you are seeing a white man hitting a black man and you are assuming a dominance of the white man.
If you have no race issues whatsoever then you should be seeing that animated gif as one man punching another.The people that make the world even more racist are the Political Correctness brigade. These people are the ones who are distinguishing between races and people.
They are the people who say "why arent there enough coloured/disabled people in this brochure?" etc.
Why SHOULD there be?We arent all equal (meaning in terms of education, social status and not in terms of our humanity). Every single person on the planet is unique and thats what makes us interesting. Thats what makes society interesting and challenging.
If everyone was the same and equal it would be a boring existance.Why shouldnt we be able to point out the differences between people, race, community etc? As long as it isnt done in a negative manor.
Maybe im being racist when I say its the White Political Correctness brigade that are the ones who are TRULY the problem.I remember when they banned nursery rhymes in uk schools - stuff like "baa baa black sheep". I can only presume it was a 'white' suggestion trying to pre-empt any complaints from the black community. The news then showed interviews with coloured uk citizens and they were all like "what the f*ck is the bother about?! - the idea of these nursery rhymes being racist never even entered our heads".
The political correctness brigade are the ones who'd jump on a white comedian for standing up and telling a "not racist joke - but one which pointed out obvious differences between black and white" - yet the SAME brigade wouldnt even entertain the notion of jumping on the likes of Eddie Murphy or Lenny Henry telling a joke that points out the same differences.
The P C Brigade are trying to solve problems that arent there.
Stop pissing about with these stupid laws or restricting what people can say/do and focus on putting an end to REAL racism that exists within extremist groups.
Engage society in communication so they can understand each other rather than having to tiptoe around each other in fear of insulting the other.
The biggest reason for racism in the UK is people not understanding each others cultures and being ignorant to other peoples cultures and what makes them or their cultures unique.So in answer to your question ....
I dont think that animated gif is racist, but I think anyone is racist if they think it is racist.- we've established this is satirekelpie
- (i admire your passion though)kelpie
- i wanted to type that to the previous "is this racist, discuss" thread but never got round to it23kon
- but im now happy the rant is out there.23kon
- And we're all the more richer for having read it. Thanks...Khurram
- especially your use of the word "coloured" to describe negroes.Khurram
- coloured? is you archie bunker?DrBombay

but how come everyone thought the monkey shit was rascist then,
it was obviously not intended to be, but every P.C. zealots thought it was offensive, but the limbaugh gif on a republican forum known to be right wing isn't?
you guys make my head explode

Its not so unusual to see black people with nazi symbols tattoo'd. I watched a documentary on TV not so long ago and there was an african american bloke who had a huge swastika tattoo'd on his chest "Just to fuck with people's minds" he said. I have seen a number of tattoos like that. It diminishes the power of the symbol if it is appropriated as a meaningless decoration by the very people who the Nazi movement was opposed to.
- Mmmmm.... yes but once you consider kelpie's arguments and my forthright politicalness..Khurram
- I will ponder this whilst high and get abck to you.Khurram
- (ps, if you could point me to said documentary or any other balck people with swastika tats, wud be thanks.Khurram

Pauli, I love your work, but god dammit your a moron.
- GeorgesII0
as you can see, this kinda proves my point,
when there's something thats not truly offending but has the mob mentality behind it, everyone wakes up politically correct, but give it to the internet trolls and they end up making fun of linch mob,is this where the world is going.
- kelpie0
ffs. the lynching pictures. posting shocking photos in place of having a brain or formulating anything to say with it. Wonderful

Kuz, I remember you were working out. Are you Ed Norton from "American History X" cut yet or Ed Norton from "Everyone Says I Love You" cut? This might help you solve your problem.
BTW, I didn't know you were black. A "QBN names to colours" thread or something could be useful, don't you think?
- haha for really? why should it make a difference - oh hang on your kidding.mistermik
- Nah, i'm way bigger and more cut than Ed Norton in American History X.Khurram
- Well, when i say way... y'know. Physique is coming on pretty good tho. Definition etc...Khurram
- good to hear! btw, what's your favourite tan lotion for winter?raf
- I use computer tan:

GeorgesII, why don't you go door-2-door in a black neighborhood and ask them if they look like monkeys? See if they find your questions racist, hopefully they will be "politically correct" and beat the shit out of you.
Stick to posting your moronic, narrow minded threads in the Politics PV.
- Eat a big fat dick.Khurram
- GeorgesII beat me to it!SillyBilly
- GeorgesII0
sillycunt, who the fuck are you to judge me?
I won't argue with you because you probably didn't read the whole thread and just dropped in to "participate",
maybe you're right, I should go door to door and see if they think I'm racist.
