Brown peoples land (Egypt)

[DC]

Yes, exactly

I'm the one who used this term in that context

DC, thinking he had a real live racist on the line went all politically correct on me, calling the term "offensive" with out the slightest clue that this is used regularly by people within the PC movement.

See here

So if the hardcore PCers, the people who run around calling "racism" every chance they get are not offended and use the term itself, I'm thinking DC's focus on my use of the term betrays not only a lack of understanding of the terminology he chose to attack, but an inability to even remotely grasp the point I was trying to make.

Which is succinctly quoted above.

So, I'll agree to the term being stupid. hey, I didn't coin it, but I figure that if anyone is going to support a group ( in this case a group if international protesters who flew to Egypt to protest at the Gaza border) that should person should be at least remotely familiar with the politics of the people he chooses to defend.

In this case, DC was defending the actions of a far left group, a group IMO who fails to live up to their own ideology and if Dc is capable of engaging that argument, then bring it on.

But screaming racism, when there is clearly no racism present is nothing more than a self aggrandizing cheap shot.

i went political correct on you? wtf does that even mean?

I still think you are a racist, your obsession with peoples skin color is not normal. And just because someone else used the expression "Brown people" doesn't mean its no racist to use that term in a completely different context.
Just because there are a lot Arabs that use the word, Camel jockey, doesn't mean its not racist to cal a nation, Camel Jockey's land.

i would never use skin color to describe a Nation.

Okay. I thought the first sentence in the OP was yours. It was unclear. Sorry.

 

[DC]

Okay. I thought the first sentence in the OP was yours. It was unclear. Sorry.

no problem

Oh, and they have such nice accents, it's almost as charming as the South African accent!

Which accent?
Leonardos South African accent in Blood Diamonds..
District 9 accents ?

There are 11 official languages in South African and loads of different accents.

Define charming...

 

[Last of the Fraggles]

Words in and of themselves are not racist. Intentions can be. It therefore depends on the context and the intention of the usage.

Here is Stout's entire "brown people's land (Egypt)"post:

What, you mean other than a bunch of white leftist activists who usually spend their time calling other people racists jumping on a plane, flying over to the brown peoples land ( Egypt ) and telling them that they're doing it wrong ? Or that those same activist types are always shrieking about climate change and our dependence on fossil fuels think nothing of hopping on a jet and flying across the ocean, like they did to protest at Copenhagen ?

Then blogging about it like it was some sort of adventure holiday

Other than those, nothing really.

It just looks like unexceptional, averagely racist, reactionary trolling to me, replete with the usual simplistic cartoons rightwingers use to understand the world.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

I think it is atrocious that someone would call another country "brown peoples land".






































It should be "brown people's land".

 

[bit_pattern]

You should have just quoted him in your sig. A call-out thread is over the top, quite frankly

/straight face

 

[DC]

it is not a callout thread, i have not mentioned his name. I honestly didnt know if i am overreacting or not. seems not.

 

[Cainkane1]

Just call them Egyptians. Skip the reference to skin color.

No, I'm being factitious, I was kind of trying to poke fun at my own call-out sig's by taking the piss out of you. OF course it's unacceptable in polite conversation, but if done with a heavy lashing of irony in which case it's OK imo.

did you make a movie for a campaign called 10:10?

 

[Nichiro]

It is as good as calling AA people as '*****".
A grave insult.

Name finally came up through the murk.
Andrew Dice Clay.
Garbage mouth.

Oh yeah. I saw him years ago. Very funny. Although, he was pretty much a 1 trick pony, so his career didn't last long.

 

[JJM 777]

It is insulting to call people with their colours, except if the colour is white.

Well I wouldn't be offended to be called... mmm what is my colour in this photo... yellowish light pink, also known as 'light pastel peach'.

You must come from light pastel peach peoples land then.

Stout was referring to a country not people.

How about if one were talking to Egyptians?

So much for being on your ignore list

You're getting confused here, camel jockey ( you capitalised it, good for you, you're learning ) is a pejorative whereas brown people is a completely legitimate term.

No, this isn't really a call out thread, more of a retarded attempt at censorship because you were unable to counter my argument.

Retarded ?????

ZOMG ! I've done it again. I've used "offensive" language

See, I've taken a congenital birth defect and turned it into a pejorative which will further marginalise the mentally ill.

Quick..JihadJand, DC, Thunder...man the ramparts, the JREF is under siege by fascist neo-cons. I've seen that word used around here alot, you three are going to have your work cut out for you and your fledgling censorship movement if you want to kick this place into a properly politically correct line.

Oops

Man the ramparts ? Damn, there's some gender exclusive language. women are marginalised now.

Awww crap.. fledgling ? I just dehumanised you three by comparing you, and your movement to animals. I didn't mean to denigrate anyone.

Denigrate ? whoa! Have you looked at the roots of that word? It's totally racist.

I can't help it though, see I'm a product of my social environment, however if you care to send me some money I will attemt to seek out some sensitivity training to help me break free of the horrid things everybody else has taught me to say.

You didn't say "brown people" you said "brown peoples land". Why do you keep pretending otherwise?

I look forward to you referring to Israel as "circumcised peoples land".

 

[DC]

you had no argument, you made a racist post, thats all, it didn't contain any argument.

attempt at censorship .... thats so extremely laughable. really entertaining.

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

How about if one were talking to Egyptians?

Or walking like them?
