Enough! Stop this racist bulls*** that goes on in here.  It's ignorant.  It makes Soxtalk look bad.  It's not funny at all.  In fact, it's disgusting.

 

I don't understand. What's racist? :unsure:

Me neither.  We've been doing that stuff since the beginning of the baseball season and nobodys b****ed a fit till now.

 

We've deleted threads, posts, etc. before.

Oh. I've b****ed about it. I just haven't received much support. You seemed to acknowledge racism in the same type of thing in a post by LCR where he was quoting from a magazine and the author was using 'satire' regarding blacks.

 

For those that haven't read the above mentioned post, LCR was showing what a jagbag this author was.

 

NUKE, you are a good dude, but this stuff is just wrong.

If we are keeping score, I am 100% behind YASNY on this. Perhaps I'm biased from living on the border, but this stuff isn't even good satire.

That should tell you that maybe you are the only person who sees anything wrong with it. I see things on this board every day that I don't like, or aren't funny to me, or don't make 'good satire', but I don't tell people what they can or can't write. Having a laugh at ficticious characters from movies makes Sox Talk look bad?? Letting a small group of people try to dictate what is right and wrong is what will make Sox Talk look bad.

If something is racial and demeaning, it's wrong. I don't care how you justify it. It is f***ing wrong. Look, I get angry about too much political correctness stuff being shoved down our throats in this country. But, to make fun of a large segment of our population because their English is not quite up to your standards is f***ing ignorant.

 

Edit: Are Sammy Sosa and Ozzie Guillen fictious characters? I've seen the same type of idiocy used protraying them.

If making fun of Ozzie's accent is racist,  basically the entire team and Ozzie himself are total racists

 

:P

 

If a black man calls another blackman 'n*****', is that racist? They do it all the time.

I don't think doing an impersonation of someone with a foreign accent is the same as using a racial slur.

 

 

I guess it could be if it was being done in a malicious way...but I really don't think that is what is going on here.

Sir, you are not living up to the standards your handle implies here. I'm sorry but this s*** is dead wrong.

First off I applaud YASNY for standing up for what he believes is right even if there hasn't been a lot of support or people thinking it's a big problem.

 

I agree with genious that many times the parody isn't a racial slur, but I still think it is wrong. I would like tosee the site that anyone from the Sox organization could come to and feel welcome. I would like to see the site welcoming every Sox fan, regardless of primary language. I believe some of the "impersonations" step over a line.

 

The best way I can describe it is this feels more like a blackface ruitine during segregation, than a tribute.
