Chill out dude. There are a lot of look alike jokes about the white guys too. CB got the idea from the TCU board last year. The TCU board does it for every game.
Personally, I think it is one of the more entertaining things on Cougarboard. It cracks me up how a lot of posts on cougarguard have this feeling of superiority over those at cougarboard. While I like this board better because I don't have to worry about getting banned. I don't think any of posts are more intelligent than those opinions expressed over there. |

Wow. There is no racism here. You're overreacting and whether this overreaction is a troll or you really feel that way... it's sad. |

I don't doubt you, but I also don't think it's as well-known as some may think. They didn't teach "Racial Slurs 101" in HS where I was at.

FWIW, I enjoy the look-alike threads. We just need to be careful.

Only until HS. Although that may explain some things - my mom both thought "asinine" was a bad word because of the initial phoneme and failed to realize that saying somebody had "pulled a boner" was probably not the best expression for a 40-something woman to be using around small children until we informed her otherwise.
Fair enough. My only point is that I'm not always sure what we're suppose to be careful of. That whole omniscient thing is still pending. |

I'm with Nikumono, I wasn't aware Buckwheat was such a divisive character, but I guess I can see why. I get the Al Jolsen thing, but Buckwheat? Is it really such a lightning rod? So, the ward within which I was raised was racist by showing all those Lil Rascals movies at Christmas Parties? I generally agree with most of what OK Sooner is saying, but it does seem like there is something new everyday that offends people. Should I stop buying Aunt Jemimah products?

I'm sure Sooner is willing to send you a list of things you might do/say/buy/think that are offensive. Just ask.
