Thread: "YOU MAD BRO" is considered racist... Really?

My personal opinion on this matter You know, this is what happens when the news of today is seen scrimping for anything outside of the normal myriad of current developments. In this particular case, it all started at an Ohio high school football game when some people held up a particular sign that contained the infamous slang mainly because of the fact that their team was getting beaten rather severely. Apparently now, there's going to be a full investigation going to be launched to look into this matter at the school by the NAACP into what could be racial intimidation since according to them, the word bro in their minds relates to black people when in reality, it's a slang term used by frat boys under the age of 30. There are no words here. I'm honestly dumbfounded by what I've read here. But, there is one thing I can now say to the entire state of Ohio and to you, Fox News. Y U MAD THO? And Fox News, you're white knighting over something that has little bearing on you in hopes you'll get a better Nielsen rating for the week. Your thoughts on this, people?
Thread: "YOU MAD BRO" is considered racist... Really?

The phrase may be annoying as all hell, but it isn't even remotely racist. It's just a bunch of ignorant people harking over a trivial manner, because they can't help but fuck the dirty, nasty thing in the corner. If you keep fucking it it's never going to go away. How can anyone expect racial tensions to go away if we constantly have to bring it up? Outside of legitimate racism, the only time racism should be brought up is in humor, and the kind of humor that everyone can laugh at. In that way it allows us to reflect on how silly and ignorant racism is-- comedy is a great tool for social commentary. The thing here is that Fox News' journalism is comically bad, but it's not the sort of comedy that does anyone any good. Furthermore, just to put it out there, is there a worse news organization than Fox? Isn't it bad on Fox's part that I feel more comfortable accepting the political views and commentary of two comedians on Comedy Central over anything Fox News has to say?

In this instance Mitsu, the one thing I have to say in regards to that is this. The kind of comedy you're referring to is what's known as Dead Baby Comedy . The kind of comedy where it's far too edgy to laugh at and you're left looking over your shoulders, pondering if you're permitted to laugh. And even if you do, it's one of those nervous chuckles you hear every once in a while. Since this is Fox News we're talking about, I feel as though this shouldn't come as a surprise, but the fact that they would cover this as a story not only is absolutely hilarious in retrospect, but it's also grab-your-hair-and-rip-it-out-by-the-roots annoying in reality. For your question, like I said. I'm not in the least bit surprised you would say that. Besides, I'm still pondering if their ratings are going to tank even worse over trivial matters such as this.
Thread: "YOU MAD BRO" is considered racist... Really?

I don't see most racial comedy as Dead Baby Comedy. It's only too edgy when the person making the joke isn't good at making such a joke. There are also other boundaries, such as the race of the person telling the joke, but when those boundaries are crossed, it's not really comedy-- the joke isn't much of a joke anymore. From my own personal experience, I can't recall any racial comedy that left me feeling awkward. I think it really boils down to the tone of the joke, the way it is presented, and the mentality of the person listening. I can say one thing, you can say the same, and somehow it was funny when you said it, but not when I did. Although, this is really a discussion for another thread. On one hand I wish Fox News would just be dissolved. On the other hand I understand that wouldn't be a great idea, because many people would lose their jobs-- you don't dismantle a corporation like that and expect it to be positive. It's just that they are so horrible at what they do, and they have so many personalities that are so blatantly ignorant that it's mind numbing. What's worse is that people actually buy into the complete bullshit that spews from Fox. I seriously think sources of information such as that one are a poison to society. I wouldn't blame them for all of the problems, or all of the stupid people, but I do think that society would be better off without that sort of journalism. The quicker their ratings die, the better off we all are.

This seems to be getting off topic. Again. News stories, no matter who presents them, that are stupid are just that Stupid. The people who present them are told, Hey, it's a story, do it. Regardless of how stupid it is, they'll still report it as some BIG HUGE INCIDENT. This racial slur bullshit is getting out of hand. COME AT ME, BRO. Btws, Urban Dictionary is the Wikipedia of slang, and therefore LEGIT.

Thread: "YOU MAD BRO" is considered racist... Really?

It's basically a 'Dead Donkey' story. Dead Donkey is what the news media call a story that would be put in at the end of the nightly news as a time filler if there's nothing left to talk about. Of course, as Fox News, CNN, MSNBC and HLN all have the entire day and night to fill, it is only natural for all these Dead Donkey stories to see the light of day. Yes, it's taking offense where none was initially taken. On that much I agree. Should we care about it being used at all? I for one don't care. Slang is slang. It changes over time and things that were once common parlance become old-fashioned almost overnight now. And as an aside, comparing the Urban Dictionary to Wikipedia isn't really doing the Urban Dictionary any favors, as Wikipedia's articles are editable by anyone with internet access and a keyboard. At least Urban Dictionary has some level of verification in place. I for one only use Wikipedia for the basics, and then I follow reference links to verify what is said before using the information verbatim.

All I can say is wow. Black people don't even call themselves bro, they call themselves brothers. And even then, not everything is about race. I feel bad for those kids who are apart of this investigation. They should have painted a troll face on that sign. U mad, Faux news?

Thread: "YOU MAD BRO" is considered racist... Really?

I had a thought today. Aren't the ones claiming it to be a racist term actually the ones being racist here? Because it clearly isn't, and could only be mistaken as such through one's own ignorance? I can't tell if they're the ones being racistprofiling through their accusation or if it's more of an unacceptable hypersensitivity. Or is dwelling on it simply being petty? I can't decide. But yes, as Sapphic stated, it's a weak story to begin with.

V had enjoyed their set. They'd done a great job, the fans were really great--lots of energy--and even the girls in the crowd had responded well to the mostly female band. Honestly, she was kind of surprised that so many guys were into them--music usually played a bigger role than whether or not hot girls were in the band. She wouldn't deny it though--she was pretty hot. A woman of Japanese-American heritage, she stood at just 5'5, with bright brown eyes, dyed but shiny and well groomed hair, and a curvy body courtesy of her American mother. Her vocal talents came from her father's side, and she had incredible range. She could belt it in a low alto or take it down soft and do a mezzo soprano. And she was a smooth singer when she needed to be--rough when it was called for. She hot little singer was a great front-man...woman. Currently, she was dancing her ass off with a hot guy from the crowd. The singer had dressed for the gig--skin tight jeans that flared just a little--low cut red top that hugged her just the right way, hair up and out of her face...for the most part. She'd recently been dating Tom, but she found that they just didn't click. Certainly not after what had happened...but he was off brooding somewhere, and she was determined to enjoy herself. Just a few feet from the lead singer the keyboardist, Sophia , was dancing with Roxxi , the drummer. They were attracting some attention with their moves. The keyboardist was a solid 5'9, which was pretty attention drawing in and of itself. She wasn't rail thin, but she wasn't chubby either. Her body was blessed with just the right amount of curves for her frame, and she dressed them well, wearing a low riding pair of black jeans like V's and a white tank under a red hooded shirt--thin and soft, not like a hoodie. She worked her hips as she danced with Roxxi. Roxxi was a naturally tan individual, her hair a lovely red shade. She was a little bombshell as well, which was probably one of the reasons they had so much attention from the men in the audience. Busty, but not overly so, the drummer probably caused quite a stir in the crowd when she had a solo. Standing at just under 5'8 and dressed in a pair of old jeans that fight nicely and a silver, sparkly shirt, she was a beautiful girl. She kept their beats flowing and she was tuned into the beats of every day life--but especially music. So it was that they continued to move with each other, rather than some weird guy that might try to feel them up. When the song ended, Sophie pulled her hair up into a pony tail, Roxxi took hers down and shook it out. She smiled as she saw Ryan across the way and waved him over, inviting him to the fun since she knew Tom wasn't interested.

Roxxi was thrilled to see Ryan making his way through the crowd. She was busy talkyelling to Sophia when he arrived, his hands coming to her hips. She would have carelessly elbowed the man behind her if she hadn't recognized the voice that spoke into her ear. Grinning, the drummer turned to face him and gave him a hug, You too! She glanced apologetically at Sophie as the song started playing and Ryan started up dancing with her. Though she'd never said much of anything about it, she always thought he was cute, and as he pulled her closer, she was happy to accommodate him. Rather than grind against him, she played a little game, staying close but always leaving some space between then, smiling the whole time. Dancing partner stolen by her hot bandmate, Sophie found some random guy to dance with who had previously been on his own. He was actually pretty respectful and they moved well together. She let him rest his hands on her hips at some point but he didn't try for more and she was grateful for it. She wasn't far from Roxxi and Ryan and she watched them with a little chuckle. They were kind of cute together... but she was still kind of jealous that he'd picked Roxxi over her. V worked with the stranger she was dancing with since Tom was being the ass king of the century. As this new song came on she showed off her dance moves with him. One thing about this guy was that he actually danced for a living--she'd asked and she hadn't been disappointed with the results of that. She tore up the floor with him a little while longer and then noticed that Morty was coming back into the club. So at the end of the song she gave her partner a little wink and made her way over to the shorter guy that was clearly looking for them.

All he could do was just laugh and smile. Roxxi always played this damn game with him. He had to admit, whatever she was trying to do, it was working. Sighing to himself as he saw Morty move through the crowd of people and motion for all of the band members to meet him towards the back room. He looked like there was some pretty important news to be had. The man grasped Roxxi's hand and just led her through the crowd. He figured he was being nice because a small person like Roxxi would be easily lost in the crowd. As the group gathered around Morty laughed. I have great news for everyone. Stopping to notice that Sophia hadn't arrived yet, he motioned Ryan to go and retrieve Thomas from outside. With a sigh, Ryan just turned and headed outside. ------ The man was sitting against the bus still. He hadn't moved in a couple of minutes, but when the man moved he just managed to stumble inside the bar and make his way towards the big group of his bandmates. He already had a good idea of what the band manager had to say. The group probably just got a little bit of an extension on the tour. As he showed up to the group, with Ryan right next to him, he decided not to make any eye with V, but in his drunken stupor decided to be friendly with everyone else in the band. First putting his hand on the shoulder of Roxxi, then moving to look for Sophia whom he couldn't find, just looked right at Morty. Tom must have smelt just like hard alcohol and lots of tobacco, but he didn't mind. His skinny jeans were a tad dirty, and his vintage tee-shirt already had a dirty look to it. Fuck V, it's time to live it up. ------- As they all made their way to him, Morty just smiled and laughed. Well, everyone is here. Perfect. He said as he looked over the group. Tom was looking better, and everyone was looking about as good as they did on stage. No one really knew the band's relation to Morty, but he ws their manager nonetheless. Our tour is being extended by a couple of months, incorporating three more states, and at the end, we will be opening for a bigger named band in a large sold out arena!!

Roxxi had a good time dancing with Ryan. She liked the tease of being so close, but not touching. It gave her a little thrill to know that they could touch if either of them lost control--but neither of them did. The redhead liked staying in the uncomplicated friend-zone, but deep down, she wondered what it might be like to just give in one night and do a little more than dance. When he saw Morty, she wasn't sure what was going on, so she just let him lead her away, wondering what was going on until she saw their little manager. Clearly there was an announcement to be made. As Ryan was sent out to get Tom, the drummer couldn't help but feel bad for him. Tom had been a real downer over the past few weeks, and it was getting on everyone's nerves. Especially, for some reason, Ryan's. She'd be extra nice to him later on. V arrived next and stood next to Roxxi, the two of them bouncing a little. She was aware that Sophia wasn't there before she was aware that Tom was. As was typical, he was looking like a louse--and a drunk one at that. What was his deal? She'd moved on, so why couldn't he? Fine, he was angry, but he didn't have to be a little bitch about it all the time. She eyed her ex with a mixture of pity and disgust and then looked into the crowd, only to see Sophie coming toward them. Sophia arrived in the little group with a smile and a bounce in her step. She was having a good time, but she was pretty easy to please. She smiled at her friends and put an arm around Roxxi, standing near the girl. She was clearly excited about the news and did a little bounce. Well, don't keep us in suspense, Morty! What venue? What band? Tell us, man!

The man ws never quite drunk enough to make a move and close the distance between he and Roxxi. As gay and dumb as it sounded, he respected her too much, when he was sober. However, perhaps if her ever got way to drunk, it would be a fathomable thing to just close the distance and see what happened. Ryan mumbled under his breath, but as it seemed Tom was starting to feel better. V and Tom never really talked about their relationship to the rest of the bandmates. One day it was fine, the next day they both hated each other's guts. Maybe one of the other girls knew something. Ryan looked over Tom who was actually smiling now. He wondered what kinds of weird thoughts were going in that man's head. How was it possible to be that mopy for one second, and now smiling and trying to be friendly. He didn't care, it was nice to have the old Tom back. Perhaps he would even dance with someone tonight. ---- The man looked over them and smiled. He loved keeping his band in suspense. Looking over the washed faces, he finally broke the silence. We are going to travel to Dallas, and play in the NEW COWBOY STADIUM. He said with a beaming smile. And it will be sure to be packed because we will be opening for The Black Eyed Peas. He said as he looked over the group. Granted, we will be one of three opening acts, but it's a pretty large gig nonetheless. Now get back to your night, we have to travel tomorrow. He said as he trudged his way back out of the club. ----- As everyone talked amongst themselves, Tom saw Ryan try and get back on the dancefloor with Roxxi. He wondered how they weren't together yet, but it didn't matter, it was none of his business. He was a bit sobered up by now, and upon seeing that bitch V make a look towards him, he wanted her to just shut her mouth. Then something clicked in his head, what better way to make her shut up than to try and dance with one of her friends. Moving towards where they were talking, probably about the show, he tapped Sophie on the shoulder. She was always the apple of his eye, she had that innocent cuteness and that was something Tom found very attractive. As he spoke, his breath reaked of alcohol and tobacco. Sophie, would you uh. .. He paused looking around, feeling someone's eyes burning into him. Would you like to dance with me? He asked, feeling quite lame about the whole situation

The eyes of all three girls lit up with unmistakable happiness and sheer glee that they got to play such a huge venue with big stars. Regardless of the fact that they were only one of several openers, it was a huge chance. They had to start planning this stuff out. And the only downside was another month on tour. Then again, this kind of exposure was what they'd been praying for, so they could take care of it. And any financial business could be taken care of over the phone or internet, so they were fine. Roxxi and V jumped the way girls sometimes did and Sophie bent her knees as though rocked back by the shock of the news. This was going to be big for all of them. After much thanks to Morty, they were all off to enjoy the rest of their night. Roxxi nodded as Ryan sneakily secured his place as her dance partner by guiding her back to the floor. She didn't mind though. In fact, the redhead was kind of flattered that he was so interested that he wanted to keep dancing. Then again, they were pretty good friends at this point. A fast, happy song came on and she taught him a few steps for a dance she was working on. It looked great with the music, and she wondered if he'd add to it at all, or just pull her closer again. V stayed behind to ask Sophie a question, the tall keyboardist, toying with her own curly ponytail. And that was when Tom appeared. Both girls raised their eyebrows in surprise as he approached Sophia. Something about him seemed a little off kilter--and it was because he was drunk. She frowned a little at the idea of a guy needing to be so sauced to dance with her--but then she reminded herself that her self esteem wasn't that of a high school girl. She glanced at V who only appeared to be mildly curious at the display before her. Rather than leave the poor guy standing there after he'd worked up the nerve to smile, she shrugged and said, Sure. You sure you're up for it though? You look a little unsteady, Tom. V excused herself and went to the bar for a drink.

The man was fine with just dancing back. She showed off some of her moves, and he bounced back showing off some of his moves. The DJ shouted something over the microphone and to the crowds discontent, managed to put a slow song on. As much as the crowd didn't seem to like it, they all found their partners and turned so that they were facing each other, acting like this was a high school prom or something. Ryan let out a groan, then a laugh. He was unsure of if she wanted to slow dance, but she hadn't pulled away yet. Taking one of her hands in his and putting a hand on her waist, he began to dance slow and sway to the beat. Ryan looked around but didn't see any of the other band mates and looked back at Roxxi. Hey, Rox. He said with an unsure tone. This might be a weird question, but do you know what happened to Tom and V? He asked, looking down at her. ---- As she agreed, Tom made no effort to look in the direction of V. He didn't really care what she thought at this point, and that was the thought that was driving him. She seemed so happy and carefree when he was moping around but now he wouldn't mope. He would show her. As he walked to the dance floor with Sophie, they just danced in place. He didn't do anything to try and dance close with her, and he didn't do anything to try and move closer, they were just two friends dancing. As they danced, he figured something about he and V would come up, but he never pressed the matter. He was sure Sophie already had her thoughts about what happened and how he was an asshole because V told him one way or another. The slow dance song came on, and he looked down at her. Well, did you want to slow dance? Might be fun? He said to her with a quirked eyebrow and a huge smile on his face. Tom Franklin was starting to have a little bit of fun.
Thread: One time, at Band camp. . . (Candira x Atom)

Roxxi grinned and enjoyed dancing with him and watching him dance. One thing about Ryan was that she was sure she'd always have a fun with him. After a while, the slow song came on and she laughed as all the people groaned. She kind of liked slow dances, and she liked the idea of getting one in wit Ryan. She came closer to him and put her arms around his neck, staying close. She wasn't really touching him, but she was close enough if she wanted to. His question caught her a little off-guard and she raised any eyebrow. Well, she doesn't really talk about it. She hardly talked about it when it happened actually. From what I understand they had a really big fight about their past or where they were going or something and then it all flew out of control. In all fairness, it seems like whatever V said to Tom was way worse than what he said, but I've no way of knowing because V bounces back so well. She shrugged and looked at him curiously. Why'd you ask? Sophia danced with Tom, a little surprised that he could move so well with her in his current state. It was more surprising that she was kind of having fun, despite her worrying a little about him. So much of Tom's behavior was a shock tonight. She hadn't seen him like this since before he'd broken up with V. She wasn't about to ruin it by mentioning the singer. So she danced with him until the slow song and then he asked her to keep going. Ummm, okay. If you really want to... she came closer to him and put her hands on his shoulders. So, I have to ask...what brought on this change, all of a sudden?
