Holy fucking shit, Barc0de, that cartoon is borderline racist material. In a bad way unfortunately. But I could be wrong about it.Originally Posted by Barc0de

Chuck Norris owns the greatest Poker Face of all-time. It helped him win the 1983 World Series of Poker despite him holding just a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
Festerfly: I think the Jesus one is perhaps making Jesus more freaky, than it is racist. Because Jesus is doing something kinky to the driver, and insinuates more than is shown. And well, I can think of more. But well anyway , as I said I could be wrong.

dont get me wrong.. im not saying that it is downright racist by any means, but if the Jewish Pic can cause offence, how many of the other pictures can be viewed as such.
It all comes down to the sense of humour of the person who 'may' be offended.
:thumbsup:

Well if there are jokes about Jesus, a holy figure in many religions, just taking the micky out of a physiological characteristic (a nose) and a play of words should be fine.
A Jewish friend I have made a video once, called Jew-rassic park, taking the micky out of traditional weddings and their exaggerations.
The image says Hebrew by the way, and does not present Jews in an unfavourable light, nor under any negative stereotypical image.
To say that someone has a big nose (in parody of the stereotype) is not an offensive proposition. Hell, even I ve got a big nose, does that mean I should take racistic offence if I m called a 'greek with a big nose' ?I think not.
I enjoy parody, and I hate racism, in case you're wondering what's in my head :)

I enjoy satire and parody too. And hate racism, but if we want to talk racism, then let us reopen the Mohhamed case crisis thread ;-) since I have news as ussual about the case , if needed ;-) in Danish, that somebody doubted long ago ;-) not you by the way. But somebody else .

sure, feel free to post your view in the Unmoderated thread before we find our asses kicked around by mods for opening controversial topics in the funny pic thread :)

No, I don´t need the moderators to kick my arse. But if you wanted to discuss racism, we could gladly do it, in that thread . And post some new news about the old crisis.

I know of the artist that drew this, and he is a member of the KKK, so I definitely wouldn't call it a "joke".
His other pictures:
I DO NOT ENDORSE ANY OF THIS, but just saying:
http://themot.org/gallery/v/Racist/Resist/
http://www.resist.com/
Its like a meeting place of all the uneducated stereotypical rednecks and just asshats in general. These guys are pretty much anti everything, except the rights of White men.
Mr. Casual:
I had a feeling about the picture was racist, from the start in a way. I couldn´t explain. But maybe it was because I knew about the stereotypical big nose thing. And other stuff.....

the picture by itself is not racistic, i m happy to say.
As I said, a stereotypical big nose doesn't qualify to make you look bad or less human.
Monty Python's Life of Brian has a lot of nose-jokes and the actors pretend to be Jews. Are they racist as well?
Can Russians for example say that faking a russian accent is racist?
Should I be offended as a Greek by someone that calls me a 'a stereotypically-looking greek'? Or if he makes a drawing of me with a big nose?
The fact that some KKK guy made it, is not apparent from the picture.
Arguments in the style of "I couldn't not explain but I was sure" are not persuasive I m afraid. Nevertheless, everyone is allowed to judge for themselves and have an opinion. So, WDK, I guess we ll have to agree to disagree on this one :)

Barc0de: you are forgetting, it is very strong Scandinavian genes from my grandmothers side, that gives me a Scandinavian look. Since on my fathers, and my mother side. There they didn´t look so "white". But that you can always read in other posts I have made in the past. Since this is the funny pic thread. but well, at the same time, this is one of the best discussions I have had in a while in a very good way.

I m glad there's open-minded discussion in this board amongst members.
This is what sets mature individuals apart from people who just flame each other to shove opinions down each-other's throats.
back to funny pictures ;D

So? Its still a KKK picture.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE!? GOOD GOD, MAN!
There are several members here who SPECIALIZE in opinion-shoving.

OK dudes, no more racist (or as you analyzed "satirical") pics that could offend anyone. Because making fun a physical characteristic could really do that. I got banned from a big fitness forum because I was heavily offended when a moderator called a Japanese friend of mine "Chinese bootleg person".
I don't think any other topic causes more flaming and trouble than racism, so let's go on posting pictures that would make everyone smile before this topic deserves locking.

Sorry modern age, I don't feel like paying for something I can't hold in my hands...
I saw some of his other pictures. The man is talented - I find his material racistic and not in accord with my views however. I conclude that the picture posted here is his less offensive work, because everything else just made me raise an eyebrow.
I guess I turn a blind eye on those and don't participate in the shove-fests, I don't like getting my hands dirty with those kind of things, it would just ruin my mood ;-) I m here for the positive aspects, such as rare consoles, devkits, and the varied off-topics :love2:
