Queenie:
There are a lot of black comedies, like on the WB and shit, in which the black characters exploit the stereotypes of their own race for a laugh. Also the cast of Mad TV are great for making fun of stereotypes. It's funny 'cause it's true. But should we feel bad about laughing at it, because it is perpetuating stereotypes?

Queenie:
Or should we just sit back and laugh at the funny shit that people do?

Decoy:
Hey, its not as bad as it used to be. At least its in the open.

Decoy:
I like the laugh at shit plan, excellent.

Queenie:
If no one ever stereotyped, there'd be no sitcoms.
(Wed Apr 3, 2002 - 3:12:22 pm)

Queenie:
Of course we have the luxury of being the sort of people that rarely get stereotyped -- white middle class.

Queenie:
Though our genders have their respective stereotypes. Men burp and like tools, chicks cry and buy shoes, etc.

Heruka:
That's why I'm getting ready to sue Notre Dame. I want them to get rid of that fighting Irish guy. It's offensive.

I would hate to be the exception of a stereotype. I have gay friends that you wouldn't even kn ow are gay. Like Rick, Tom's drummer and best friend. You'd never know. I went out with this guy who was half black for a long time and he struggled with white and black perspectives of who he really was and it sort of got to him. To his black friends, he wasn't really a brother and white people saw him as more of a white boy because he didn't talke ghetto. Thats got to be sort of a pain.

Heruka:
It's racist for a balck/white person to act like a black guy.

Chewing Wax:
Yeh. When I talk ghetto people get confused.

Queenie:
I have a character like that in my screenplay. He's a half-black poet, but he struggles with the fact that he's marketed as a "black poet", all the while the black community rails against him for not being "black enough"..

Heruka:
it stems from the old days when if you even had a slight bit of black in you, you ere considered black because you were tainted. now you have mixed races that act black and have no idea why. they think it's natural.

Queenie:
How the fuck is that racist, H?

I learned that in Sociology last summer.

Queenie:
It's all about what you identify with. Ever see those scuzzy white girls who really, really try to be black? Yeah, it's laughable, but that's what they identify with. Shit, my brother is obsessed with hispanic culture and speaks spanish and listens to spanish music and all of that -- it's just his bag.

bela:
Well, his father was white and his mother was black. His father had nothing to do with him his whole life and would only meet him on the sly because he didn't want his Irish family to know he had a black son. So he was raised by a black woman. What would you consider yourself.

Queenie:
Halle Berry was raised by a white woman in a white neighborhood but still considers herself to be the first black woman to win best actress oscar.

But I think that's just convenient for her, a way to go down in the history books.

I was raised by coyotes under a bridge. What does that make me?

bela:
I could see where some of his frustration from. I worked for these two jewish guys and they would make such a big deal about Eric, he was so well spoken and such a gentleman. That really got to me after awhile. Yeah yeah, hes a good black guy - not a degenerate uneducated scumbag.

He's a good whire guy. Tiger Woods is 1/8 th black and 1/4th white. But he's considered black.

Wee paws for station identification! Fuck... I'm tired.

Heruka:
I think I'm skipping school tonight. I shall whisk Bertha away to a nice restaurant for a romantic dinner and a nice bottle of wine. Salvatores. I've never been to Savatores with her. It's so far away. Do we drive? Do we take a cab? It's 25 miles away. Do we go somewhere else? Hmmm.

Yes. Why? Aren't they nice?

Mrs Dr GB:
Little boy says to his mum, "Mummy, I came into your bedroom last night and saw you jumping up and down on daddy. What were you doing?"

Mum thinks fast and says "Daddy's been getting podgy so I was jumping up and down on him to try to get the air out of him"

Kid says, "Well you needn't bother because as soon as you go to work, the lady next door comes round and blows him back up again."
