Why are you offended by relatively or completely harmless things but are ok with things that truly are racist?

Question

For example, there are retro African-American cartoons that I really like that aren't even racist; just un-PC and therefore they are banned because people are afraid they might offend somebody. But the stuff that truly is racist and that I am actually offended by like BET and MTV can be seen on the TV 24/7. So let me get this straight, people are offended by gasp *watermelon*! and cartoon characters with big lips but they're totally ok with violent thugs, promiscuous hos and foul-mouthed "comedians" with sour attitudes?

HI NS. I deleted it by mistake. I'll post it again later.

Answer 1

who knows......... possibly because thugs, hos and swear words are the 'in' thing........ its sad though........ it really shows the direction that society is headed in.

Answer 2

Not me, baby.... I'm totally not okay with anything racist in any sort of way.
I'm a very open-minded person and not much offends or shocks me, but racism and prejudice I cannot stand. I'm white, my husband is black and every once in a while he would call somebody an N- word, and each and every time, I will click my tongue and tell him that's not something he should be saying... not to mention somebody who is not close to me being a racist...

nicely your the ultimate option that good and incorrect isn't the comparable as a sin. in spite of each little thing, in accordance to the hebrew bible it truly is a sin to not kill homosexuals. some issues are incorrect because of the fact of their inherent unethical implications, not because of the fact some potential mad god says so. Like killing an harmless toddler (as antagonistic to a mugger attacking you) or steeling. yet I see your factor, if we weren't pressured to do such issues we does not, and we are compelledt because of the fact that's our nature, a nature made by means of god. you may think of an all understanding all efficient all loving god may be clever adequate to make a gadget that preserves loose will yet nevertheless prevents 'sin', efficient adequate to make it ensue, and inspired adequate to realize this. yet confident, if god ought to stay with the discions of the toddlers he imbued with such desires and fee will, like homosexuality or use of condoms, than there does not be a million/2 as a lot 'sin' interior the worldwide. interior the abrahamic custom's point of view a minimum of. marvelous think approximately regards to the heaven/loose will.

Answer 5

Do you remember when fighting games came out like Street Fighter Champion Edition and games alike?

I wanted to invent a game and talked to many game companies including capcom and they told me it was too racist.

My game idea was called Ghetto Fighters and each Ghetto fighter be that it a wino with its deadly booze breath, a ghetto hooker and her nasty purse of toys, or a thug with butterfly knife and pop gun or whatever had their gimmick of a special moves. But my idea fell by the way side because it was too stereo typical of an idea.
