James Joyce
A couple of things here. How do you know what LTCG has and has not experienced? And, you use Chris Rock as your defense in this argument! I actually like his material, but Chris Rock has bashed all of the same minority groups that you have mentioned on this forum, but that is okay since he is black and he has lived the experience. That is one of the most ignorant and racist statements I have ever heard.
Just exactly what is “the Black Experience’? It sounds like a class that Ward Churchill teaches at the University of Colorado. If “the Black Experience” is about the downtrodden reaches of society in the United States, what does it have to do with Black? I can take you to areas of West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Arkansas, just to name a few, and show you the so called “Black Experience”, but the only problem is the people are not just black. They are from various ethnic groups. The socioeconomic hierarchy is a thing of the past it bridges all cultures and ethnic groups. And, by the way, social degradation has absolutely nothing to with someone telling a joke. If someone feels degraded by a joke, then they didn’t think much themselves in the first place.
Here is a piece of advice get out from behind that James Joyce book that you are reading and go out into the real world and live the real life experience. You can’t learn everything about life from a book. Git-R-Dun!
I know I have a small brain because I like Larry the Cable Guy, but it was large enough to earn my degrees.
One more time. Git-R-Dun!
