I'm Still A Racist

The post yesterday was all about me.  It should not have been, but it's so easy to make my feelings and my thoughts paramount.

They aren't and I apologize for making them so. 

Again looking at those who thought that the story looked good, I find myself wondering if I would have been one of them, if the racism would have been so obvious to me?  It's easy to say that something is awful when many other people have pointed out its flaws, but what about right at the beginning, when the majority still think that it's okay? 

Many have told me that Jeff Dunham is racist.  I've always thought that he was funny, but the more I think of it, the more I realize that he portrays only the worst stereotypes of PoC's.  Yes, he makes fun of everyone, but that doesn't mean that all of his shit isn't equally bad.  I wouldn't have thought of him, except that he came up on my facebook and I realized that I'm not as enlightened as I thought I was.  I unliked him and won't watch him anymore, but in truth, he was fairly obvious when one bothers to actually see - what about the ones that aren't?

So flist, what else have you seen that seems discriminatory to you, but you haven't said anything or wanted to admit it because you've laughed at the joke or enjoyed the show or had fun at the movie?  What have you watched that you knew was wrong to laugh at, but laughed at it anyway?  Where are the ones that aren't so obvious?  Rather, where are the ones that are perfectly obvious when one bothers to actually care?  

Our lines are open.  Please keep talking.

Thank you.
