Incredibly offensive racist post.

Despite the video sifts firm stance on racism, the Dark evil has returned and it appears that the vidualent community members have completely missed it.

I was enjoying a cup of tea and watching some clips and I read this, cussing me to spill my beverage down my front and over my genital region.

Not a Ginger Fan?

that's becuase gingers have no soul"

Comments like this ARE NOT FUNNY I should know as I have been re educated by some of the most intellectual video sift users as to what is funny and what is not.

I just feel that if we don’t nip this racism in the bud video sift will turn into some sort of YouTube/live leak website.

Come on westy, this was funny the first two times, it's gotten just a liiiiiitle redundant at this point.

Technically though he's right: gingers have no soul. But that's probably got something to do with the fact that there's no such thing as "a soul".

Hey westy, I'd call you retarded, but that'd be an insult to those of a less-than-average intelligence.

As of recently you've been nothing but a cock in the unwilling anus of this site. Please STFU or GTFO.

rottenseed says...

Ginger is to the rest of humanity as polar bears are to eskimos: They're pale, destructive, and you try to avoid them as much as possible.

Just kidding gingies I loves you all. We're all equal under God's loving eyes.

Hypocrites. What is the difference between some albino, some black kid and some homosexual kid.
You call maintain that these things are biological and no one can change that about themselves (except Michael Jackson)

But you go nuts if someone says faggots have no soul.

It is the same thing, and if you need a funny video making fun of some ethnic group to justify it, like was provided here, it can be provided.

This is not a parody , Its a serous issue apparently some members can be flagrant racists and its perfectly fine.


Why should some members be allowed to be quite frankly offensive , even if its intended in good humour and others not ?

(I appreciate Raciest might not be the most acuret word to use , however I believe in this context due to popular usage of the word racism that it is an Effective usage.

Obviously Black skin dose not always equate a specific race , Yet in common language people would say racist to sum one who singled sum one out through skin colour or made remarks against/related skin colour. )

Quite an intellectual response , Maby you can actually tell me what is wrong with what I am communicating?

Alright, this has gone on quite long enough.

Westy, if you don't see the difference between the posts you got hobbled for and the post about "gingers have no soul", then that is not our problem, it is yours. There is a reason that the comment that got you hobbled is the lowest rated on the ENTIRE site.

I certainly make plenty of racist jokes on this site and push the envelope, but there is a limit - even I know that. Your comments were quite a bit rougher than these and the satire/parody/humor was not detectable by very many. Get over yourself and get back to being a contributing member.

Maby you can explains the difference to me ?


maby you can exspain to me as well how.

"Not a Ginger Fan? that's because gingers have no soul" can easily be determined to be a parody ? I see no real difference from this comment and my previous comment.

gwiz665 says...

Pop culture reference is always parody - "gingers have no soul" is very much a south park reference, and while I understand that not everyone will get that, a soul is not something gingers or anyone else has anyway.

The difference is mostly the intent in which a post was written. Almost anything can be seen as parody, but yours was very clearly not, and it didn't even try to say that all people are monkeys, which essentially is true.

"Black people do it the monkey way whites do it the other way, why do u think black people are black ? its because they are monkeys."

There is a clear distinction between black and white people, and black people are specifically monkeys - you don't see that as racist? I mean, really? I realize you might not have meant it willfully racist, but come on? It's pretty obviously over the line.

I think it's fair to make jokes about damn near anything, and sure I'll make a racially based joke in the future too, but that one was not funny, just uncomfortable. I would think that there's a big difference between saying that someone doesn't have a soul and that someone is a monkey too, but that's just me.

As I remember you were not hobbled for that particular comment either, it was a slew of racist comments, which eventually got that done. I agree that it was over the top to hobble you, as it was with spooky blankfist too, but still you should have just said that they were just jokes and what not.

I'm annoyed that people get so up their own ass about these relatively small things and ruin it for the rest of us - you're doing it now with this incessant hounding after other racism, to somehow make your comments less bad. Blankfist did it too when he got hobbled and ruined the lounge for a while, because he couldn't get over it.. eventually he did, which is good. I hope you do too.

Racist remarks can be funny if done right, but it's not easy to do them well, and when they fail they often fail hard. Yours did. Deal with it and move on.

"Pop culture reference is always parody " This simply is not true , many cultures and groups within cultures are intresicly racist and have racist intent .

"The difference is mostly the intent in which a post was written"
That was my argument for what I said , But as we established there are lots of easily offended and quite frankly simple minded people on video sift that are incapable of diductoin.

There is no difference between

Yogi:
Not a Ginger Fan?
that's becuase gingers have no soul"

and

"Black people do it the monkey way whites do it the other way, why do u think black people are black ? its because they are monkeys."


Both are patiently absurd statements to anyone with anny intellect. the fact is however that the video sift made a move to shakle/ban anyone that makes remarks that some members may not be able to identify as parody. If you are not consistent with your ruling then you make imposable for people to stick
to the rules .

"I think it's fair to make jokes about damn near anything, and sure I'll make a racially based joke in the future too, but that one was not funny, just uncomfortable."

With that statement you are stipulating that In order for a racist/discimatory joke to be funny you personally have to get it . The fact is some people did get what I said Its just the case that YOU personally didn't , you cannot use your lack of understanding of something as a justificatoin as to why something is bad / should be band. A real world example would be how the church Tride to ban Monty pithon film because they found it ofensive its quite likly that a majorty of people in the culture at that time found it offensive despite the fact that the film was actually just as funny as anything else from an objective view point.


"As I remember you were not hobbled for that particular comment either, it was a slew of racist comments, which eventually got that done"

I have not made anny racist comments ever , anny person that has asked my directly has gotten a state anser , Just because some people are dispropotoinalty preoccupied with racism on this site i dont see why i should have to keep exsplaing myself.

Its like with my spelling , I'm asked to explain myself every 10 or so comments. There is no real Need most the time same with the "racisum" fact is people will ethor get something or they wont , or its something that dosent matter if they get it or not.

gwiz665 says...

Well, it's not that I have to understand it, it that at least some people understands it. I personally didn't see much humor in that remark, but neither did the 66 that downvoted the comment, that's gotta indicate something.
