CDL is right though - all the rape jokes here make me feel uncomfortable. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THE WOMEN WHO POAST HERE?
Or we could just get a thicker skin.
Rape jokes are not meant to be offensive. The intention isn't there. When dkgo spouts off racist **** it IS MEANT TO BE OFFENSIVE.
Kind of similar, but not the same thing.

I do have a close female friend who was raped and if anyone even uses the word she freezes up and cant speak for a few minutes. The way she explained it to me once (after she had a breakdown because someone used the word) was that her coping mechanism was to completely forget it ever happened and that even tiny things like meeting someone with the same name as the guy could trigger flashbacks to the event which put her into physical shock. I have never heard of anyone having a reaction to a racist comment that is anything near this bad, but I guess its possible. There is no reason to have a double standard on this where something with lesser effects is punished and something that could actually be crippling to a person is let go.
Like I said, I am all for letting it all fly, but lol at the mods if they think racist jokes are worse than throwing out comments about rape.
Racist jokes are one thing, I love my a good racist joke, but openly posting racist **** is way worse than casual rape comments.
dkgo either needs to stop being ignorant or keep getting banned. Simple as that.
It's just so ****ing stupid too. IF YOU DON'T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE THEN STOP WATCHING PRO SPORTS CAUSE THEY ARE CLEAR BETTER AT IT THAN US WHITEYS.
