One Note George

"brown people" and "arbitrary dictates." are becoming a bit hackneyed...

That's Diktat. One Note Ian likes Duetsch.

Thank you for the correction...

I think back to "The Kids in the Hall" when being bludgeoned to death by "arbitrary diktats" , "brown people" , etc...

Allow me to paraphrase what I believe the insinuation is here - Minorities don't know how to manage money and spend it all on frivolous things, whereas presumably white people don't? Is that what you're trying to say? Because if it is, then you haven't taken a look at how white people live in this country lately.

wrong. I mean:
Supply and demand wins at every level. As income lags prices, because of demand(immigration) and inflation, those that are less willing to share housing(me) will downsize. Those that are willing to share will benefit and maintain a higher percentage of disposable income.

Last week, I heard frequent FTL caller Scott the Bigot phone in on the Dennis Miller show. He spouted off his usual racial hatred. Apparently, he's a regular caller to Miller's show.

I don't know what you did to Ian, but he uttered "ascertain" an awful lot on last night's show.  It was a wonderful example of life imitating art imitating life.  Still, someone should probably delineate better speech patterns for him.

Straight up, it's inappropriate for a white guy to make fun of blacks and do funny voices on the radio. You should know this. As far as Mark and Ian bringing up race issues, they have to make the distinction that although they're pasty white guys who live in New Hampshire, they're not the variety of whiteboy who's all "goll-ee, a black guy!". That's my take on the whole thing, and i think their 'spin' on things is outstanding.

Howard Stern did it.

He's jewish.Holocaust for the win....

Why is that? If it's OK for them to make fun of a redneck on-air then why not a typical ebonics speaking ghetto gan'sta?

Unless you want to make it a racial thing.. I dunno why you'd want to do that.

[TimSully]

Why is it? I don't know, you'll have to go ask 300,000,000 Americans why. You can do an ignorant black man's voice as a white guy all you want, it just makes you a racist or at very best a moron (in the mind of a huge majority of people). If a black guy does the voice of a square white guy - it's funny! I laugh and maybe it's just as racist but that's what seems to be tolerated in society.

Now i know FTL isn't a show to pander to the majority, but this isn't one of the things you can 'be an iconoclast' on. If i had a show to preserve i wouldn't dare hop on the air and make fun of black people with a thuggish voice.

In my personal life i do voices all the time and often they're spanish or black people, but on a one-on-one level i think it's fine when i know my audience. If a bunch of strangers were listening, it would alter my perception of what's ok to say or do. I think George just has too much free time on his hands and is looking for improprieties where their are none.

So what you're saying is that there are differences between black people and white people, each group should consider the other as different, and that one group should receive certain favors while the other is held to different standards.

Uhh..

Yeah yeah.. I should put this topic away for good I reckon.

By your rules, is it moronic for a white guy to say 2+2=5 and funny for a black guy to say 2+2=5?
