I understan...Way to ignore the point of my comment. I understand about the benefits of humor. I'm a person that uses humor very often throughout my day. If you were to ask any of my friends about my sense of humor I'm sure they would reply that it's well exercised... but there is a time and a place for everything. <br /><br />If you're going to tackle serious issues it's fine to lighten the tone with humor. But if you use humor as a way skirt around the fact that you don't know what you're talking about then you're just a clown.<br /><br />And justifying your evasion of responsibility by saying, "It made you think" is a very limp argument. Everything makes me think. Every experience we have as humans SHOULD make us think. It's a rather moot point.citizennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426792647006769709.post-37423837477208580992011-06-27T16:21:24.518-07:002011-06-27T16:21:24.518-07:00Thanks for the comment Citizen. I totally don'...Thanks for the comment Citizen. I totally don't mind them. <br /><br />I continue to say that this blog is about humor. Comedians make jokes all day long about the races and the differences between cultures. That's all I'm doing. Will everyone like it? No. Will everyone get the joke? No. I'm fine with that. <br /><br />There's a lot of things I don't get. Like, I don't understand why people like music with lyrics that are screamed into a mic. I just can't make out the words being "sang". I also don't get why people wear open toed shoes when they have crusty, dirty feet. It's truly beyond me. <br /><br />Bottom line is. It made you think. Whether it was something you've wondered yourself or that you haven't ever thought about. It's amazing how many comments have been left that I couldn't even bring myself to post. There were some things that were said by others and I thought, "Wow, there's someone else who thought that too."<br /><br />I liken it to those funny looking 3-D pictures that were popular in the 90s. You know, the ones where you kinda cross your eyes to see what's really there? Just squint and cross your eyes, be silly, and laugh. A lot of the times in life, that's all we really can do.Blkphoenix856https://www.blogger.com/profile/01224922759263725456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426792647006769709.post-13569671598477154012011-06-27T14:59:49.971-07:002011-06-27T14:59:49.971-07:00Dennis, you use "humor" as a very conven...Dennis, you use "humor" as a very convenient excuse to spout ignorant drivel into the vast expanses of the internet. <br /><br />You say your "lens is a different prescription" and your opinions are unique to you... but it's a similar disregard for reality, fact, and self-respect that underlies some of the main pervasive problems in American black culture. <br /><br />Whether or not you attach "humor" to your ignorance it's still ignorance. And when it adds to the cumulative delusions of your culture then it's not only ignorant, but it's harmful. Be more responsible with your words.citizennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426792647006769709.post-7483891996786076642011-06-23T08:17:35.278-07:002011-06-23T08:17:35.278-07:00Thanks for the educational moment. :0) The whole ...Thanks for the educational moment. :0) The whole blog is tongue in cheek and I have often wondered what apartheid really meant. Now I know and knowing is half the battle. Gotta love GI Joe cartoons!. There were lots of lessons in those programs just like in a Very Special Episode of Diff'rent Strokes, Facts of Life, Gimme a Break, Blossom, etc.Blkphoenix856https://www.blogger.com/profile/01224922759263725456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426792647006769709.post-3675080376978086092011-05-29T19:56:52.597-07:002011-05-29T19:56:52.597-07:00I am black -well non white at least- and lived in ...I am black -well non white at least- and lived in South Africa under Apartheid. Black people there were not "forced to assimilate" which is completely the opposite of what Apartheid was designed to do---i.e. Apart= Apart<br />Heid = ness gives you Apart-ness.<br /><br />If you don't know such a simple and well known fact, how do you expect people to read the rest of your rant or believe that you are factually correct?<br /><br />Any black person half interested in racial discrimination would have known what happenned in SA. Your ignorance shows, do your homework.<br />Oh...and its not "because you are black" that you are ignorant of the rest of world...its because you are american ;-)facts before rantingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426792647006769709.post-71485157803549408762010-08-21T17:18:08.444-07:002010-08-21T17:18:08.444-07:00Nice rant lol!
