It may be professional compared to then, but it still is unprofessional. I recommend you cool down right now and form a coherent argument explaining in detail why you set a racial context ("Oh massa") and threw the image in to try and see how long you could sneak out from under the rule against 'racism'.ANIMAL MOTHER wrote:i say this is a highly profesional attitude compared to that day

First off, You, like Roket did(who knows better now) think that I hate them, which is false, I don't hate anyone I don't even dislike you actually.
Secondly, I never said, with that warning, that you were racist, instead that your 'ooc' text along with your signature related to a racist context, at least here in the USA.
Also, to correct you, fried chicken does not relate at all to fat white women, instead if also relates to African Americans in a derivative manner along with watermelon.
now that i am calm..... i do think we should talk of this more privatly via msn

Re: im not a racist
You forget, that it is not the staff who needs to reach you, but you who need to reach the staff. Or so I deduce from the thread so far.ANIMAL MOTHER wrote:reaching me works on mine, im not lookin to play a 2 hour game of cat and bouse when a 12 minit convo could work just as wellربهالنوع wrote:This isn't a negotiation, AM.

Exactly, and you created this situation. You had the power to sort this out in 10 seconds but you chose to create a huge scene instead. I hope you come to some sort of resolution and learn from this.ANIMAL MOTHER wrote:this whole dealy could have taken 10 seconds to sort out but it had to be like this

I have to say this watermelon situation has a very high rofl-factor

personally I associate watermelons with Jennifer Grey in the movie dirty dancing..

It's not straight up racist. But racists associate watermelons, fried chicken and koolaid to the black community. As you said, the signature is assigning the watermelon to the black man. The massa bit alludes to slavery and to the black community being uneducated. It's a popular phrase for racists when mocking the black community as being uneducated and subservient to the white community. And since he wants so badly to associate this blatantly racist signature with his multi, the multi then also becomes blatantly racist.
It's not a matter of just having some watermelons and a black guy. It's not about a black person eating watermelon. Though that in it's own right just falls right back into racial stereotyping. It's the way the quote was worded, combined with what the quote was saying and then associating that quote with a black man.
Personally, I'd be willing to accept the argument of ignorance and defend the OP, had it not been for the quote. However, every last bit of the signature just plays right into the whole racial stereotypes of uneducated black individuals having an insatiable appetite for watermelon.
In the end, when I call something racist and wrong, you should probably just give up. You're likely going to have the whole world against you at that point.

Really guys?!
If you want to actually discuss this, take it to the debate section. Don't make me split topics and move this on my own. Be mature about this and take it up elsewhere.
