Yeah, pushing back on generalizations is soooooo progressive. Only on this board.
Yet, there is endless bitching if someone generalizes Southerners or promotes hackneyed stereotypes about the South. Consistent.

Highly ineffective considering the sentiments expressed by some on this board.
So some people thinking certain things dictates what can and cannot be joked about.

The manner in which you did it screams progressivism.
You flipped what Coca Cola did from racism to just "stupid". Then changed a very obvious ironic joke to also being "stupid", essentially equalizing both acts.

Where did I suggest censoring or silencing him? Where did I suggest he couldn't attempt his "joking"? I expressed an opinion on the effectiveness of technique he employed.

Would you feel better if I characterized both as racist?
You can call it an obvious joke all you want. It's not hard to find examples of the sentiment that non-whites are inferior on this board. Now, call me a progressive for telling the truth.

Although I agree with your point. The fact that as of today you just now think this is shocking. Not one single race or religion wants “equality”!they want the power others have. Not one human society wants to equal. If that was the case the human race would have died off a million years ago.

That wasn't my point.

K. Well, I didn't "dictate what can and can't be joked about." I guess we are both off.

No because one is actual racism and the other is a joke highlighting said racism.

IDGAF what some people say in a group of 10s of thousands of people. That doesn't limit what others can say, think or joke about.
You're trying to pretend you're not a piss your pants progressive but you're parroting all their anti-free speech rhetoric

Who is arguing that it limits what can be joked about? It casts doubt on the intent, as obvious as you may claim it is.

What standard? I spoke to the effectiveness of the employed technique. I characterized it as stupid. I didn't scream, "silence this man."
Your inability to grasp that, isn't my problem.

There was no doubt in your post. It "was stupidity responding to stupidity."

You want people to muzzle themselves because within the huge group of people they're apart of you think some people are saying some bad things.

Again, where am I calling for that? Referencing sentiments by others is a) casting doubt on the purported intent of the post and b) part of the argument for characterizing this "ironic racism" (some other posters term) as stupid and ineffective.
See. No calls for censorship. Simple.

I said your pushing anti freedom of speech rhetoric, which you are.
Judging what someone says by what others say, which you did, is a common freedom of speech critique.
