It's crazy to think that if I was in Trayvon's situation people on GAF would be defending the guy who killed me. Oh well I can't be bummed with graduation tomorrow.

You survived while your fellow trainee did not.

There are probably people on GAF who think Operation Caliphate is real.

It IS real.

They thought we'd stop at white women. Little do they know, black male/white male couples are on the rise as well.

Congrats on graduation. As far as the TM case.... it was all I needed to lose faith that we are going anywhere fast in these nation. The politics, race issues and general stupidity on display is disheartening.

Have you guys ever been to a Rock concert? I listen to some Rock but never been to any live performances since I think I'd feel out of place. A girl at work invited me to go to a Staind concert next week and I told her I'd think about it.

[CrazyDogg77]

Has anybody been noticing more young people like just out of high school being engaged? Maybe it's just me. And eterna I've never been to a rock concert. I would love to go to one though.

Talking about good job Bob.

[BHZ Mayor]

That Dead-GAF thread just mentioned FreeMufasa. Does anyone here have any kind of clue at all what happened to him?

[CrazyDogg77]

Talking about good job Bob.

Oh yeah I guess he disowned us or we disowned him.

What is this "Operation Caliphate"? It intrigues me.

[CrazyDogg77]

After being beaten to the ground by Towering Black Football Player Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman reluctantly pulls the trigger in self-defense. Martin falls back and lets loose a mighty African laugh. "So it begins!" he cries (translated from thug language). The transponder on his wrist contacts the White House, where Operation Caliphate sits waiting. "Your majesty," cries an aide (likely homosexual), "Agent Martin, codenamed Fire of Allah, has completed his mission!" Imam Hussein Obama clasps his hands and smirks, a "jazz cigarette" in his mouth. "And now the honkies will pay."

Speaking of which, my brother is coming to my place tonight to watch some stuff. I told him to bring some snacks, and his text response was "I'll be wearing work clothes. don't want to get Trayvon'd"

Should've just told him he doesn't have to worry about that anyway.

hey guys i just have a white guy question

do you think a post on neogaf is ever interpreted differently if the poster is known to be black than it would be if it's known that the poster is white? like Measley in that dead beat dad thread. it's an honest question and i'm not being dishonest or disingenuous when i ask it.

EDIT: and i guess subquestion: is that in and of itself indicative of a.. i guess an 'isolationist' ideal of black culture? i.e. this is ours and we're speaking for us and that's just how it is. so to speak. i'm sorry, i'm having trouble asking what i want to ask.

[blame space]

i realize the obvious answer is "of course it's interpreted differently". what i'm wondering is whether or not intent is factored into such a mindset, and whether or not that can ever be changed.

[JokerOfSpades]

No one speaks for everyone, but intent is usually guessed at differently because of it.

For example, while it may be entirely distasteful for a black man to walk into a room and say "nigger," it will be taken better than a white man doing the exact same thing, because the white man's intent is assumed to be more hurtful.

Similarly, you can replace that with men and women on gender issues. An issue dealing with men... actually, for the majority, anyone can say anything they want, really (blacks can speak for whites, women for men) and it won't be taken badly, but any history of oppression would mean that you are not to speak ill of the previously (or presently) oppressed.

To simply that last paragraph: a black person can make a comment about white people and it won't be taken badly, just as women can for men, even if the view is controversial. Switch both of those and the intent of those with a controversial position (and in the majority) is considered to be a harmful one off the bat.

Better yet: "yes, and hopefully."

[blame space]

i guess what i struggle with is the idea of being "guessed" at or about, especially when it comes to intent. words and language are extremely malleable in my opinion, and this place more than any other i've ever encountered encourages hyperliteralism.. i.e. your words ARE your intent and anything else is considered illogical or disingenuous.

[CrazyDogg77]

So guys are we not head nodding any more?

Eh, it also works with how long you've been here. People have stuck around when other members would have been banned because mods know the poster well enough.

It's also why you and your friends can make a bunch of racial jokes, but someone else may take it the wrong way.

Same here. I've found that you can usually tell friendly people from unfriendly people depending on if they nod back or not.

[The Incarnation]

Same here. I've found that you can usually tell friendly people from unfriendly people depending on if they nod back or not.

I generally do so, but I tend to ignore people under 25/30. Not out of rudeness mind, just because things have changed, and they'd probably look at me like I'm mad.

Black women go out of their way to pretend they don't see you which always makes me laugh.

Black men with white women don't even look at me, so no head nod from me.

That said the African lads don't do it at all, but would be quicker to talk to you out of the blue at the same time.

[DY_nasty]

i realize the obvious answer is "of course it's interpreted differently". what i'm wondering is whether or not intent is factored into such a mindset, and whether or not that can ever be changed.

its definitely factored in.

just this past week i had two people respond to me with "but what if the person was black? i bet you'd feel differently"

and its trifling. if Mitt Romney came to school in blackface and slapped his black teacher in the mouth 50 years ago, my opinion of him, today, would not change.

Wanted to go to a Slayer one, but yeah...black friends lol

Anyway, this must be my favourite World Star video...from the way the man runs out of court, to the woman in Yellow running infront of everyone and not stopping, has me in tears all the time

I've been to all sorts of rock concerts, from indie-r stuff like Modest Mouse and TV on the Radio, to Avenged Sevenfold and stuff like that. Nobody's gonna give a shit about you being there. You'll feel out of place only if you don't really like the music...in which case, I'd do myself a favor and bone up on my Staind before going.

[Mr. Patch]

Geraldo Rivera is at it again...

[eternaLightness]

lol yea I only know a few Staind songs but I'll still consider going.

So I think I'm gonna start watching some blaxploitation movies since I've never really seen many. Just watched Willie Dynamite which was actually pretty good. The girl who played Pashen.......MMmmMMmmMmm, that's all I'll say!
