I think things have gone too far and there needs to be some STRICT rules set forth and enforced.
These rules really should be common sense, but since some people seem to be lacking in that area, maybe it needs to be spelled out for them.
1. No RACISM!!!!- Period. No it is not okay to call someone a nigger, even if it is in a roundabout way, using a chis rock sketch as a cover. It is not ok. That so many people saw that thread and chose to say nothing speakins volumes about the cowardice of many of you on this site.

i just wanted to sincerely apologize to anyone who i may have offended when i posted a link to the youtube sketch on Dave Chappelle's show about the Race Draft a few weeks back. being a minority myself who's race was also ridiculed & stereotyped in the same sketch, I thought it might be taken in a purely comical manner... i'm not sure if this is the thread Killa is referring to, but obviously i was wrong, & i'll be the first to own up to it. anyone who's posted w/me in the past knows that i'm particularly sensitive to racist posts of any kind, but i felt this sketch was making fun of racist points of view, not trying to perpetuate them.

anyways, my bad Killa... hope there's no hard feelings... & sorry to martin & Andrew for posting it on your forum.

I enjoyed the sketch.

tms, anything you have to apologize for in your entire life you have made up for in the alba thread.

I'd like to apologize for not having yet posted in the Alba thread.
Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

Wait a second....I was called a nigger? Now I definately missed that cuz I would have definately gotten banned off of that.

I personally stay away from political topics and social stuff cuz I think a lot of you imply a lot of racism without knowing it. Its not worth it so I don't even bother even clicking the thread.

That's just the reason why I didn't click this thread until now. I only clicked it cuz its now 3 pages and counting.

Since I'm here now I want to apologize for calling anyone a bitch. I get mad and I post things out of anger. Still I deserve to get choked out if someone didn't like it.

I also wanna say I respect a lot of you guys on here. I missed that nigger comment. I can't tolerate that word. I would have seriously gone balistic if I saw it. I post mostly on my phone so I miss a lot of things said especially if the thread is a little stale. That's why I love these little get togethers UK has been having. When there is a get together there is no keyboard bs. Its all love.

I have no problem with arguing but guys gotta know what the line is as men. Cross it and be prepared for what happens next. Posting ones resume can not help you here unless you have some kind of belt, is that clear Mr. Sage?

OOHa,

Better to stick to hoops. When he diverted too often, thats where Bonn got piled on.

Picking things apart bit by bit can be seen upon as unfriendly also.

As Elite so eliquenty put it, this is all mostly subjective.

Only wins and loses count.

Humor, including mine is also subjective. Some works, some don't. And some just plain don't like it.

Being an elder statesmen as you so called me is far from whom I choose to be here. On UK, Im perpetually 25 years old.

Oh, I don't like Marbury for who he is on the court. I don't like Isiah cuz he is full of it. I thought Layden was like Jimmy Carter, very smart, very knowledgable, but not a strong leader. I don't like Dolan because he runs a stupid business in teh knicks and makes his GM's look bad with his idiotic schemes. I don't know spit about Mills or what he does, but he must suck.

I like Larry Cuz he was all about shaking the institution up and whacking the weeds until the snakes ran out. The snakes won. Larry gets even richer. Fans lose.

I liked Bonn, and encouraged him to be a better poster. He is smart but grumpy. He is a Internet Snit vomiting gay robot.

I miss Dido.

I think Isles reads too much Edgar Alan Poe, but is funny about his hate for Isiah.

Haters have been correct for like 5 years now. Homers don't see things as they are.

I look forward to one day being a homer.

I Think Curry time is running out and hope he becomes all that he can be. I think Frye is hitting the sophmore jinx and will be ok. I think Larry did a nice job with the Rookies. You can see the progress this year on how much they learned. Larry was unlikable by the Vets and they ran him out. My belief.

Nate was dropped on his head when a child. Excuse me, he is a child.

I like Balkman. He is funny looking. Makes him more interesting.

I am White, I like being White. Some of my best friends are not white. All of my Knick friends are a palate of different species, race and color. This is New York, a melting pot.

Pot used to be cool.

One day soon, and I don't know when, were going to get that place and we will walk in the sun, but until then, tramps like us, baby we were born to run........

I can't beleive people are still bringing up the Chris Rock joke. Its a joke, my goodness, download the mp3 and listen to it, its pretty halerious. As an aside how do you listen/watch any rap video/song if you despise the word so much Eny? The word is so prevalent in African American conversation and POP culture I don't think I'v gone a day w/out hearing either on TV or in person.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

Are you kidding me?

If it was part of pop culture to lynch people like it was 30 years ago would you be out there tying the noose?

Again I don't know what you said exactly cuz I didn't see it, nor do I remember the conversation we had for you to even make a joke like that.

The word is used too often. Comedians, rappers, and Spanish people in Washington heights use it too much as it is. I used to casually use it. I no longer use it because its just to loaded a word to ever use that way or at all.

Aside from that. Typing that word regardless of what we are talking about in any fashion should not be tolerated. Now that I think about it....you should be banned for it. Even jokingly. It has no place on an internet forum period. I wanna know why this guy isn't banned flat out.

This is exactly why you and other black guys should stop using the ****ing word. Because you give people the opportunity to say retarded **** like 'why can you say it and I not say it' etc. simrud is not being as bad about it but I have seen people bring up **** like that around me all the time. I don't understand it.

And simrud, of course its racist if someone outside the community says it. Don't act like its a big mystery to you. Its a widely accepted etiquette that as part of a ethnic or religious community, it is OK for you to mock them because you are mocking yourself. Seinfeld made plenty of Jewish jokes. I know Asians that make fun of other asians. So if a black guy uses the n-word, let him use it. Joke or not, lets just stop pushing the issue. Especially since we know it offends people.
you should be banned for it. Even jokingly. It has no place on an internet forum period.
simrud has a short fuse, we all know it. I bet he didn't mean anything personal and I bet he'll be a bit more controlled. What pisses me off is black people saying it around other races. Same with other groups mocking their own in the presence of others. It really annoys me. They totally discredit their cause by doing that. Fuck that, and now the Knicks and Giants lose on the same ****ing night. What a ****ty day.

for the record, Enyspree sucks at drafting a basketball team. And then when you call him out on it, he uses some old lame excuse like, "Oh I had to move" or something. I'm bringing down the hammer on you this season sucker.

Man law: No using the N-Word.


Chris Rock is great, but he can use the word. We can't.

Whitey don't bother me if used in the right context. Cracker is really not that funny, but it don't bother me. Honkey is really funny. Richard Pryor can make fun of me all day long. Blacks can make fun of white, but not the other way around.

ITs just the way of the world now.

I think we should drop it now its no biggy.

No one should be banned as the N-word was not used in malice. That would be a different story.

If it really bothers you that much Eny, I wount post jokes with that word in it. You admit yourself you used to use to word freely, so I dunno why you getting so worked up about it to the poing of demanding a banning.

This is really a thin line if you think about it, I posted a joke by a black guy using the word. I guess because I'm not black, I can't do that. Oh well, PR is killing this country as it is, it might as well score another point.

Its only my opinoin but this kind of, we can say it, but you can't aitutde is not helping anybody. Not even considering hispanics and white rappers using the word which they do a lot.

I personally never use the word myself because I think its deragotory, but I never considered a reference to a joke being the same thing.

Either way I'll accomodate you if it bothes you that much, happy riding on your high horse.
