Re: Funny Trek Images
Not surprising in that you think gay and black stereotypes are funny.
Re: Funny Trek Images
My point was that offensive is a subjective thing. What's offensive to one person might be hilarious to someone else. I find many things funny. If you have other images to post that are more to your taste, please do. I assure you that I will not criticize you for what you find funny.
Besides, who hasn't sucked a cock? Who doesn't like fried chicken? I have. I do.

I think they're hilarious.
J., not black, not gay.

Re: Funny Trek Images
The stereotyping involved isn't that subjective.
Obviously, you're not alone in thinking that jokes based on stereotyping are funny.
Quite the revelation.

Re: Funny Trek Images
You're a rather judgmental person for one who has not been here very long.
You don't know me at all, you don't know my relatives, my friends, my religious beliefs, all you know is the assumptions you're making in this thread.
Now, I've been a bit tongue in cheek in my previous response because I'm aware that to lose one's sense of humor is to have a giant stick wedged in the hindquarters. However, I recommend that you take the time to slow down on your assumptions and get to know the people here before you start casting aspersions upon those you don't know. I would also recommend that you don't bite off more than you can chew, as someone who is so new to the board, whether long time lurker or first time member.
Just some friendly advice.

Re: Funny Trek Images
Two black friends of mine both love fried chicken. I and most of my white friends don't, unless they're smothered in buffalo sauce. The chicken, that is, not my friends.
It's one of those stereotypes that tend to statistically hold water. I chalk it up to some genetic trait affecting taste.
I never have understood what was supposed to be offensive about that particular sterotype, personally.
And as to the first image, if you read Kirk's lips, it really does look like he's saying 'I sucked his cock'.

Re: Funny Trek Images
Stereotyping is stereotyping. No matter where you are or how long you've been there.
No assumptions. You said you're not black and you're not gay, but you think the above jokes at their expense are "hilarious."

Re: Funny Trek Images
Indeed. Do you know the intentions behind my post?
I doubt you do. I think you have missed the whole point entirely.
If you prefer to discuss racism and it's underlying meaning in regard to stereotyping, then I suggest the Neutral Zone or Miscellaneous, where I will gladly discuss such with you. As it stands, we're in General Trek Discussion posting what some may consider funny images, and you chose to interject with accusations of racism and offense.
You also apparently disregarded or ignored my earlier post stating that my initial response to you was "tongue in cheek". If you are not familiar with that term, here is a wiki article: Click Here.
Once more, you don't know me, you don't know anything about me, so your judgments and accusations are in complete error. That being said, I would recommend you spend some time to get to know me and many others on this board before making such statements. It will help you assimilate into board culture and perhaps understand what I am actually saying. Right now as it is, you're charging headlong into deep water at the opposite end of the swimming pool. You should come up for air.
Oh, and relax, please. Your posts are so uptight at this point I don't know whether to laugh or donate to PETA.

As of this moment, you're trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Re: Funny Trek Images
Yep. I could call up my best friend:
"Do you like fried chicken?" His answer? "Yes!"
"Does your family like fried chicken?" His answer? "Yes!"
"Is it because you're black?" His answer? "Nope."
What does liking fried chicken have to do with being white or black? I like fried chicken too, does that make me black?
Some people are just so sensitive and get offended where there is no actual offense, that they MUST speak out at once and set things right, even if they have no idea the context of the situation. This dude was a black guy, who apparently loved fried chicken. Well, that makes two of us, and only one of us is white as a paper plate, and that's me.
So, without further derailment of this thread, funny Trek images:
I love this one:

Re: Funny Trek Images
I removed the second image and put a warning in the thread for those using dial-up. Hope it continues on topic
