Alot of people will disagree with me on this one, but I do not find racist jokes offensive at all.

For two reasons.

Firstly, the only people REALLY offended by racist jokes are only offended because the jokes target is in relation to them. These people are hypocrites. Every body is racist. Every single person stereotypes those that are different to them. Racism isn't just about colour, nationality or religion, nor is "race" just about them either. The word "race" defines any group of people that share elements that make them different from others, be it colour, religion, physical appearance, age, gender or lifestyle choices. Being Fat puts you into a race of Fat people. Being a fan of Eminem puts you into a race of Eminem fans. Being a Doctor puts in a race of Doctors. The possibilities are endless. So when you stereotype someone because of that element, you are being racist.

4. Humans considered as a group
Secondly, being offended by something is pointless. People are offended because they believe they are being insulted. Why be insulted? The person insulting you has no physical or emotional relationship or bonds with you, so why the fuck do you care what they think? The person probably didn't even direct the insult at you directly, and may have not meant any offence by it. And even if they did, why the fuck do you care what they think when the person means absolutely fuck all to you?

Its time the human race got over this shit, we are intelligent enough now to do so. Racism won't end by being nice to each other, it will only end when no one is bothered by it.

I'm not saying you have to find it funny, but get over yourself. We all do it.

One of the best post this year so far.

I understand that this is a board, and we all want active members, but if some people cant say what they want to say, then it just might repel them away from here.

Granted, I also understand that some people take into offense, but is that not why some boards have an ignore button?

But....some people need to relax and realize that this forum is to have fun, and maybe we can either laugh, or accept our main posters post.

I made a thread about reputation power formula or something. and Cooper put a picture of a math formula, that shit was hilarious, granted it was nothing racist, but the point i am trying to make is that some people get bitter and butt-hurt about things that other people do, or have.

Yes, some here had a better child hood than others.

Yes, some people get expensive shit, others want expensive shit, some don't care...does it really matter to keep bringing shit up like that?

If people made fun of Rahim for Pizza or Steak shit, it would be funny.

If people made fun of Dilla for having a BMW it wouldn't. Just let it go. Just like Prize Gotti said.

Someone being in a class of hating Dilla for BMW is like him being in a class of hating Jews.

I very much doubt either one really hates anyone, so let it go and joke about things the right way, if not just accept it b/c we need to get over ourselves...

I recommend Jokerman in helping you with your situation if you cant get over yourself.

Honestly, we have all been posting here or reading for more than a couple of years, and it seems like we are all brothers and sisters fighting. lmao

I quoted your posts to support my thesis that you're a pussy and cry baby. Quote me saying where I said I thought I was the best poster? Are you insinuating that I think that way? I think you're a fucking idiot, but you believe the latter. So...we're at a crossroads again. Look at Duke's last couple of posts in this thread.

"Learn to take a joke"

"My cock in your ass"

"I think what you say is funny"

"You really aren't that important."

So everyone's confused on what they really believe. I don't care. Ban me. Ban everyone. I take what Duke said to me and apply it to everyone else. You're all really not that important.

And one more thing, I crack racist jokes about ethnicities not on this board. So for me to crack a Jew joke and then be expected to laugh at a Hindu or Indian joke is really unreasonable.

Bobbo, you're bitchiness did not start with me; you have always been a whiny little bitch. You're like those mama's boys I knew in the third grade who couldn't take a punch in the arm without going "Hey!! Stop that!! It hurts!!" and then go run and tell the teacher. That's my view of you. A grown ass man on Mama Sand's titty.

Whenever a guy punches he usually ends up worst off after you can believe me on that. Would a bitch play a soccer match with a cracked foot or hurling games with a broken finger? you are calling be a bitch but i bet you are the biggest coward going. i see you as the snobby rich kid who has everythng handed to him on a plate and is sheltered from the real world by his parents all his life. i bet you are as weak as shit. you think you are tough because you act all cool on a message board. In reality you get your ass kicked regularly.

lol @ the last line. this is probably the first time i have ever laughed at something you posted.

and to SOFI, ever notice that its the total dickheads on this board that i have problems with. The truth is i get on well with 90% of this board. Its only the immature retards like Dilla and Bacho that i react to. Notice that i never have any problems with hizzle or Flipmo's posts? go figure :)

The problem is with people responding to random insults on the forum like it was a really truehearted meant comment.

I have no verbal boundaries. You can joke about pretty much everything imo. But if you do, don't get all defensive if someone is bullshitting you.

But anyway, what's up with the reporting and banning lately?

I have hated some people over the years, but I don't think I ever reported anyone, except maybe bichi, or Duke or Chronic as a joke. If I ever say some stupid shit and you try to ban me, I'll just leave.
I know what you mean. I feel like people tend to report other members a little too much. I've never reported anyone as I recall and plenty of people have pissed me off. I think it's important to understand that although this board has thousands of members, it is really only a select handful of people who post on here and regularly keep this board alive with our discussions.

Of course, I don't mean to imply that we should abolish all banning because it's important to have rules. But maybe people could just chill a bit. If this is the message in your thread, Preach, I agree.

It was, but in his own longwinded style. He could've just said "People, chill the fuck out", but yeah that's just not him...
You're angry. Someone tell you chill the fuck out. Do you listen?

They take the time to explain in what capacity they want you to chill out, why they want you to chill out, how you could chill out, and seam it all together. You're a little more likely to take it to heart, no?

First of all, why was Da_Funk banned? There used to be this thread where super mods and admins posted every time they banned someone. That was back in the day. I'd love to see that resurrected. A link to the offensive post, with a reason for the ban. So everyone could stay on top of things. I guess I'm curious. I would love to know why, when core members disappear.

But anyway, what's up with the reporting and banning lately? Someone said something about either Bobby or Sandeep becoming the new bichi. I mean, I have no problem with either of you guys, and I don't think you'll be a bichi, but I get dilla's point. And like, carmi is reporting dilla's holocaust comment towards Duke. Again, nothing personal towards carmi, but why? Why is 2 girls 1 cup, 1 guy 1 cup, and 1 guy 1 dead cow head, goatse, inside out assholes and pictures making fun of black people all okay? I don't have to explain what dilla wanted to say, but I will. He didn't say "Duke, you're a jew of heritage, I hate jews, and the holocaust was good". He could have said "I wish someone murdered you in the street" and his message would have the same effect.

I don't know how to put it all into words, but something's changing on the boards, and I'm not liking it. It's as if we're all trying to be.. pseudo-adults. It's gay as fuck to me. I have hated some people over the years, but I don't think I ever reported anyone, except maybe bichi, or Duke or Chronic as a joke. If I ever say some stupid shit and you try to ban me, I'll just leave.
Da_Funk was banned for racist jokes and use of the word n.i.g.g.e.r in an offensive tone.

We do not tolerate racism at all, as you can read in our FAQ: StreetHop.com - FAQ

We tolerate a lot here, but one thing we do not tolerate is racism. That word has also now been censored, which is why I had to put dots between the letters or else it would turn into ******.

I do not feel a thread stating why someone has been banned is necessary for two reasons.

1) Whenever we ban someone, it is for a specific break of the rules and if you are familiar with those rules you can narrow it down as to why they are gone. We let a lot slide here, even attacks against the site or the admins as long as they are within the rules and I feel every banning is justified and deserved and do not feel our staff needs to explain themselves.

2) By providing a record of the bannings, it tarnishes the user's reputation and hinders any efforts to get past it and become a good poster again. If I made a thread and said Da_Funk was banned for racial slurs, no matter how much he tries in the future to get past that, he will always be known as the one that made n-bomb jokes.


Anyway, FYI, Da_Funk was banned for a week and is welcome to come back after that. But if he continues with the racial and vulgar jokes he will be banned again.

lol man look at the fisherman village in the background. priceless.

@ ceasar: well i see what you're saying, but with respects to point one, that's the problem - i wasn't able to narrow it down. in fact, the last few times someone who at one point caught my eye got banned, i had no idea why. and i don't think i ever got a real reason. except for the last time dilla was banned. it's not that i feel like it's owed to me, i'm just curious.

Because flipmo and hizzle have their own style. They post disgusting, shocking images that the board appreciates. They don't use racism quite like funk, me and I guess Duke do.

See, we all have styles to our posts that make other members appreciate us. You're still stuck on the delusion that everyone hates my posts. Not the case. Otherwise I wouldn't be getting thanked and repped for the silly comments I make. Most of your thanks have come through....gee..I dunno who thanked you. Do you post pictures in the funny thread or something? Because I know everyone here know that you have no distinguishing factor on this board, quite like carmi as mentioned before. You, as well as a few other members, are quite bland and mundane. Every post has the same damn thing in it and just becomes another post on the board. Does it keep you from getting banned? Probably. But everyone just knows you for the times you get riled up when you can't take a joke. You can take a joke, right? Because, according to you, we should all be able to take a joke or a personal jab, but it can't be racist or sexist. Wonderful. Go fuck yourself, I know I get no where with you and your stupidity.

Also, I don't care that you broke with a broken foot or whatever. That's dumb. That's fucking dumb to be running around on a broken foot. Especially when you're playing special education league soccer where everyone's as big of a retard as you are.

Do you really think you can portray tone on the internet or in text? One jab here or there was fine, but then it became a theme to all your posts and that also day after day for the past month or so.

I don't even know why I was banned last time. Probably for the bacho stuff. No big deal. When have I been banned for anything other than beef? Beef makes this forum go round.

Just to be clear, I didn't ban Da_Funk.
Right, but you're still a mod that goes about looking for breaks in guidelines, so you should know that this thing is not one-way. The n-word isn't acceptable, so fine, fuck deserved a slap on the wrist, as I have many times in the past. But if you look at Bobby Sands' posts directed towards me still..... he still gets on my case for having a BMW and my parents still supporting me at the age of 19. What do I do? I ignore him like you suggested many times, but Duke's a mod and I don't think I was able to add Sebastian to my ignore list as well. What do I do about them? I'll say that everything was my fault, even though it wasn't, just to end this stuff. Half of the shit that was said by Bobby was said through PMs. So...

There are differences between racist jokes and racist insults. There are some things you can say and some you shouldn't. It's one thing using a stereotype that is funny and another using a genocide to make an attempt at insulting someone.
I'm really upset your ancestors weren't wiped out during the Holocaust.
Is that really funny? I remember back in the days members like dilla would be banned PERMANENTLY. This kind of bullshit was not tolerated. Now I understand we are few members left now it's a matter of survival and we keep some shitty members because at the end of the day we need some activity on the board, but there is a reason why dilla was banned multiple time and that the username dilla is not his first one.


Now carmi on the other hand, has wanted me gone for a looooong time. I may annoy her, anger her, whatever. I do not care. The same way bacho didn't care about who didn't like his posts, he still kept posting. She cheers every time I get banned, she says silly things in threads, and usually adds fuel to the fire when the boys are fighting. Which is fine. She contributes nothing to the board, yet she's still not banned. I hate seeing the quotes in her profile, as they are ridiculous, stupid songs that no one listens to. She can't even speak English, I bet, and she still runs around talking about "productive members" and reporting posts. It's fine. Just get over it. We lost da funk, we'll lose some more. I feel that I am probably at the top of the list for the next banning. Fine. The board has negativity, ok. Is there any positivity? No. So in what direction are we moving? Backwards. If this is the way we want it to be, no, the way you want it to be and "you" being the members that survive SiGh's purges, then keep reporting posts, keep posting racist shit, and keep driving up the cost of the board by allowing carmi's bitch ass to free post. It's fine. Some people on here live sad lives and they bring the negative attitude on to the board.

This board is a house of cards. And it will be gone soon.
Please :) Don't think you're all that important in my life. I do not dislike all your posts. When you were venting about how many text messages you had left I agreed. It's not like I think you're a complete dick. It's just insulting members and thinking you're a funny prick when you are not most of the time doesn't make you a great contributor either. Now you think you're all that and that you contribute a lot. I never claimed to be a great contributor to the board. I'm simply a regular poster who posts here and there. I don't claim be anything else than that.

So now how old are you? 13? 14? Stop acting like if you are the center of the universe, because you are not.

Making personal insults to me? I don't care ;) You're only one of so many people on Earth. I don't even know you. On the other hand, this is all getting to you and it's quite ridiculous. This is the internet get over it.

I report what I feel should be reported. I dislike posts that I find stupid and agree with posts that are great.

And you should consider yourself lucky, back in the days you'd be long gone and that regardless of your 23574656093486 accounts ;)

Some people on here live sad lives and they bring the negative attitude on to the board.
Is that why you act like a bitch on the boards? :p
