An open letter to the members of Madjack's

[MadJack]

There sure seems to be a lot of double standards around here regarding what is acceptable. Outrage for some, and selectively choosing to ignore others.

Then fuking quit beating around the bush and SHOW ME WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO.

I'm kind of tired of hearing that, I don't believe that, and I would like to address that, if I knew WTF you were talking about.

Talk about whining. How many times are you going to bring this up? Let me hear what is bothering YOU with the "double standards" and if I'm wrong I'll try to fix it.

Sorry for the tone of my post
but I'm getting annoyed at this accusation.

thanks

Funny how so many people have a "conscience" about the things Raymond says, but have no problem with anti-women posts. I've taken a lot of sh*t from people for no other reason than being a female.

If you don't like Ray's posts, ignore them. Yeah, he acts childish sometimes, but so do many other people on here. Not to mention, I've read plenty of threads from posters like Shawn 555 that have a racial bent against whites and toward blacks.

It's just like real life; there are plenty of people who seem decent and enjoy good conversation/banter. Trying to police every little thing people say is impossible. I mean, if a post like "Do you like watermelon?" is going to set you off, that's ridiculous. There sure seems to be a lot of double standards around here regarding what is acceptable. Outrage for some, and selectively choosing to ignore others.

whoa!(low whistle under breath).....word my sister....

btw...i`m on minny today,kelly...so your cowboys should be a lead pipe cinch.....

WTF is YOUR problem? I've never "whined" to YOU one time. I've never asked you to defend me or to remove someone's posts for any reason whatsoever. My point is people need to stop whining, in general. I take all kinds of sh*t all the time, and I've never complained about it. It's kind of obvious that Kosar is an asshole pretty much 100 percent of the time, but oh, that's "cute", that's just Kosar being Kosar.

My point is, there is *unequal* treatment depending on who you are. HOWEVER, it's impossible to make everyone happy. I say unless it's a blatant racial slur, just let it go. Who cares if someone says "Do you like watermelon?". I mean, really.

No problem at all, just tired of you accusing me (that's what I called "whining" LOL) of "double standard" and on multiple occasions.

I take offense to that because I don't believe it's true. If you can show me what you are referring to, I can try to fix the problem, that's all. :shrug:

And if it's kosar being an asshole that bothers you don't fret. He's like that on several posting forums so his attacks towards you are certainly not exclusive.

Not to mention, you handle yourself very well and handled him very well too so I didn't think that was a problem.

Jack, I'm not asking you to do anything! That's my point. I don't want, need or expect you to do anything. Being on a board that is a gambling board, with 99% males, you're going to take some shit. That's part of it. It does irritate me on occasion, but there are plenty of great guys, too. I try to ignore those who are jerks just for the sake of being jerks and I suggest others do so regarding Raymond, if they don't like what he posts. That's all. I don't care who you ban or don't ban, it's a no-win situation. It's just funny how people who complain about "racism" have no problem with being assholes to other people, in other areas,. That's all. Carry on.

Although i agree with ur first post 100 percent u don't think that watermelon comment is a blatant racial slur? The destruction in Haiti and all those people suffering and he finds time to post something as dispicable as that.:shrug: That is about as much nonsense as DTB saying he doesn't think Raymond is a racist :mj07: :mj07:

 

[airportis]

being a smartass or an "asshole" to people is one thing.

being a blatant racist is a whole different story.



no matter what, it is jacks house and its his rules. we can only make suggestions but at the end of the day its his call, not ours.

I didn't see whatever he posted about Haiti. I just saw the part about asking whether people like watermelon. Obviously, that was an attempt to race-bait, but it was otherwise harmless. Don't respond. If he posted something nasty about Haiti and that tragedy, I would assume Jack would (and has) deleted it, which is fine.

Jack: While I understand your position on struggling with what is and what is not racist, I think you could make it a lot easier on yourself. Context is difficult to discern, but the originator is not. In most cases, the threads that start with something that could be "baiting" others to pounce are started by guys with a history of racial slurs. If this same watermelon thread was started by HappyHippo, you would not have given it a second thought.....well, you probably would have wondered if she hit her head because her IQ must have plummeted to start a thread of such non-sense. Furthermore, where exactly would a thread like this go? "Do you like watermelons?" doesn't have a lot of staying power because it is a yes or no question with little room for explanation.

I guess what I'm saying is that if you have to think about it, it has immediate dumpster potential. If the originator is a shit starter, the next step should involve trashing it before it goes anywhere. The guys that complain about them being harmless threads all seem to be the same dicks that qualify for Auto-Dumpster, so don't let them try to sway you.

Wayne: You really don't think Ray is racist? Really? He doesn't get a pass because the cement business sucks and he doesn't like the president. Sorry.

My thoughts Garry---I have never met Raymond but have seen his posts for bout ten years.

--and I may be wrong but somehow I can not see Raymond or anyone I know (and I know some I would call border line racist by my standards) think it was :mj07: that such a peril would inflict any country. My opinion was his mind was going in direction when he was typing reply to another.

Do I think Ray uses term nigger in everyday language--probably and would say 99% here have used term one time or another.

I also think Ray would be the 1st to help out a person in need - whether he was black/white or whatever. I think all races have prejudices and many justified --but is far cry from any being racist.

so imo -I believe Ray may be prejudice but not a racist--flip side when blacks vote 98% along ethnic lines-I'd say that might be logically viewed as a hint of prejudice --but certainly wouldn't signify any were racists.
