So, if I say I want to cut someone's nuts off, that makes me a racist?

Rush, put down the pills.

Back slowly away......

[The Magistrate]

1. No, Ma'am, It Makes You A Grown Woman

But it was a blitheringly stupid thing for the Reverend to say in front of a microphone....

[CatWoman]

7. that was monumentally stupid

but how the hell does race play into it?

I could see if Jesse were talking about a white man (perhaps)? :shrug:

[The Magistrate]

14. My Guess, Ma'am

Is that since there was a certain amount of castration of Black men during slavery, and the act or the threat of it has been a pretty regular feature of Ku Klux terrorization, some people have felt they could make a leap to identify any reference to castrating a Black man as proceeding from or inspired by traditional themes of white racism. Bear in mind we seem to be talking about people who in many instances complain the oppression of middle-class, middle-aged, heterosexual white men by Blacks and women and homosexuals is a leading feature of our society, so sound sense and actual logic is not to be expected....

2. ...and let the underage prostitute go.

3. I am staying as far away as I can get

Put down that knife.

4. What about just a vasectomy?

I had one and I'm not a racist. I do stop and sniff the flowers more often than before though.

[hisownpetard]

5. Is "flowers" a code word?

:hide:

[panader0]

6. I resent your implication, whatever it was.

[KharmaTrain]

8. Only If Your Loreena Bobbit

If that lady says she wants to cut your balls off...believe it. :rofl:

[davidinalameda]

9. it does not make you a racist

it makes you an idiot, especially if you're close to microphones that you think are off

Jesse has lost any sense of credibility that he may have had left

[napi21]

10. No. But if you say it on a live mike it's makes you stupid! Jesse

didn't say anything we haven't heard before, but for anyone who's been associated with mikes almost his whole life, I foud it really stupid that he wasn't aware that when there's a mike around you ALEAYS assume it's ON!

[CatWoman]

11. ESPECIALLY

On Fox!!!

[jaysunb]

12. What you talkin bout Willis ?????

This "nut cuttin" talk has me worried. :rofl:

[CatWoman]

13. LOL

:hi:

[stray cat]

15. Are you white and saying it about a black man because he is black - if so yes.

If you are Jesse Jackson saying it about the person you claim to support then its probably just two-faced and stupid.

16. Castrating the "big buck Negro" has the same racist overtones

as lynching. It was a practice and a threat to keep the slaves from running. It was also to keep them from violating the "white wimmin".

[Gold Metal Flake]

23. Castration was a PART of lynching.

That is just not something anyone says about a black man. No time, no how. There is some very bad, terrible, hateful and evil history behind that act.

[Olney Blue]

17. Rush is nutty alright.

[Wcross]

18. Wouldn't that make you sexist?

You can cut the nuts off ANY male regardless of race. You can't do it to a female.

[CatWoman]

20. well, Wcross

rest assured that I would NEVER think about doing something like that to you -- you're too sweet to the critters :)

:hi:

[Wcross]

21. Thanks, I will rest easier tonight knowing that!

I was going to look for my old athletic "cup"!

[OmahaBlueDog]

19. It reminded me of something Richard Pryor once said about meeting the ex and her new boyfriend

It was stupid of Jackson to say, but it almost came off like a SNL bit.

[man4allcats]

22. I love this.

Don't mess with Jesse. He'll cut your nuts off. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
