Not sure how I should feel about this comment, or rather the link and implication.. I guess it is supposed to be funny. Should this be *discussed or not

Pfft, that's a really strange joke, but I guess people have weird senses of humour at times, I know I do. My advice would be to deal with it privately in their profile minty, i'm sure you can put forth your displeasure

See what happens after that

As the FAQ states, "Please avoid blatantly racist speech." It's debatable about whether this is racist speech or just an extremely, terribly poor choice of comedy, but use of the N word in most any form could be construed as racist speech, and that linked image is using an ugly play on the N word to joke about a black person.

Bottom line I think is material like that doesn't belong on the Sift. I'll kindly as archchef not to post borderline racist jokes and that should be the end of it.

Looks like a possible pattern emerging?

Hmm. I don't know. That comment doesn't seem to be of much significance to me.

In any case, let's not turn minty b's post into an archchef discussion.

So the video was from "Check Please", it reminded me of an old internet meme. Didn't expect panties to get bunched up. Hell, I am half black and find it funny. Oh well, I deleted my post, you may un-bunch your panties now.

^ Hey man, no need to get defensive, if it was all in innocence then you should have left it up. Stick by your principles eh

I think if there was any kind of comment to go along with the image it mightn't have seemed so racist. Sitting all alone it seemed like you were calling Barack the N word.

Ok, I can see how you all got that impression. Guess I should write some more stuff and not just post a link :-p
