Pretty good eh?

 

[Rogue Jedi]

lol

cool

 

[Brian]

indeed it is

 

[CoolGuy]

Quite true.


Sports have become a black thing from the time we're born, we have to be good football , basketball everything.
Which why we suceed, we need to have this emphasis on many other things and then you'll see how bacl people rise and rise amoung earth's colleagues.

That's kind of a HUGE generalization, and not necessarily true.

 

[CoolGuy]

I mean that in terms that it's one of the only thins we black people thrive on, and actually yes it is a huge generalization to say sports I should be more specific like basketball etc.

 

[bizbj]

:lol:

the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese

Yeah,Yao Ming.

 

[CoolGuy]

.

It's hard luck that the rockets just got knocked out the playoffs.

Chris Rock has a way for saying things.

He was on Graham Norton (UK) one night, and damn, is he good, or is he just good!

hes good

 

[webscorpion]

But some people might not find this funny.

Just my two cents.

 

[CoolGuy]

That's the point of most jokes to offend people.

I don't agree with that at all.

That's also another huge generalization.

Seems like you are just perpetuating a stereotype.

 

[CoolGuy]

Well in the family I live in that's how it goes. By the way i'm black so i'm talking on a friends,family kind of way.

 

[rb]

Well, talking about your particular family or neighborhood is one thing, but your original statement didn't say that at all.

It was as if you were speaking about all black people.

Generalizations like that don't help get rid of negative stereotypes (for any race).

Comedy is comedy (I just saw the Chris Rock special "Never Scared" a couple of days ago...funny as heck), but when you're back to reality, that's a whole different ballgame.

 

[Rob]

You are going too far, you probably want to be all 'cool' by somehow speaking out against stereotypes, but its people like you that bring it all to the surface, why cant CoolGuy have his say without people getting on their high horse?!

 

[CoolGuy]

Never Scared was hilariouss Chris Rock is guy who isn't happy unless he has insulted everybody.
