First video (2003) shows John Safran, who happens to be Jewish, attempting to join the KKK. Followed by John Safran interviewing David Irving, where he feigns to gas him. (2009) I give John Safran credit for humour and inventiveness in confronting racism in his very own way. Humour can be disarming, illuminating, and can sometimes offer a better glimpse into issues such as racists / and their loopy ideas: Attempting to join the KKK: [video=vimeo;16716504]http://vimeo.com/16716504[/video] Safran & the barbecue gas bottle: [video=youtube;0rBCst4hph0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rBCst4hph0[/video]
A sense of humor is an important aspect of real courage. (Something i learned in the fire department.) Laughing at what you fear blunts the ability of that bug-a-boo to intimidate you.
I think Safran is disarming. Cuts to the chase, highlights the idiocies, and entertains at the same time. Bit surprised by the lack of posts in this thread. Perhaps racism isn't a laughing matter. Although the years I've spent at this forum, hearing truck-loads of racist dross, I really think Safran does a fine job of cutting through a big pile of racist dross. Safran is a funny guy. Smart, and creative, too.
This forum has definately deepened my sense of humour. The more I see of racists in this place, the more they appear like unevolved twits to me.
Surely a viable option but very few ppl have the gift of genuine humour. There are varying levels of humour of course and the link between them is that the composer remains an intelligent person. The crass comedians, the ones who feed on base instincts are the gutter trash of the genre and as such bring a bad name to funny ppl, like you have in any field of expertise. They are like followers, stalkers, ones who never make the grade.
I hope you're not one of those that shout 'RACIST!' everytime someone mentions anything race releated or I might just have to tear you down from your high horse of supposed moral superiority.
I don't think she's apt to shout racist as much as some of these other white guilt leftists here. Its been my experience that these people who have to race bait every issue (leftists)--do so because they have very little self confidence in their own pathetic shallow lives. But it doesn't take much to get under her thin skin; just shout out femanazi when the time is right and you'll see what I mean.
Misguided again, I see. Four years at this forum has taught me to laugh at fools. You have it back to front.... again. It is racists that "..have very little self confidence in their own pathetic shallow lives," as you put it. What pleases me is that views like the kind of views you have are not part of the mainstream, and you would have a lot of trouble pushing racist views out there in the mainstream. Political Forum a very very small piece of the pie. Very small. Whereas, with the views I hold, I don't have to censor any of my views for mainstream society, they seem to hold up fine out there, and that is a sense of freedom for me. Racists have to hold down a lot in their closets, because their views are so repugnant, they're liable to get whacked if they utter their crap out in public. As far as your feminazi crap goes, YOU are the one that goes to the women's rights section to bash women. You and a couple of other sexist men that use that section. As far as I know, I am the only woman to have somewhat consistently posted in the women's rights section. But for the most part is is used by the few men, such as yourself, who are sexist tools, with unhealthy toxic views about women. Try your racist, misogynistic crap out in mainstream society, and see how far it will get you. Yes, God bless Political Forum for giving racist misogynists a home. Because apart from places like this, the consensus works entirely AGAINST people who hold your kind of views. As it should be.
Rather than counter every single falsehood of yours here, I would just suggest you would have more chance at having a reasonable debate and or a reasonable chance at being credible had you not claimed that I am a racist or a misogynist, for that couldn't be further from the truth. I don't nor have I ever suggested that I'm superior (a racist) to another. I have never said that I hate women. While I do hate liberalism, feminazism and every other foreign ideology that arose from Marxism, those isms by themselves shouldn't automatically be seen by you or by any other feminist butch as me having a penchant to be a racist or a woman hater. And if you think that your feminist pro death views are of the mainstream...then I have some ideal cheap swamp infested land in the Everglades to sell you for nothing more than a song and perhaps a dance to seal the deal.
