I can't take the astounding racism + misogyny

I find it hilarious when people like you and Daniel Tosh say things on the Internet (or television) that you would get stomped for curby-style in real life. Oooooh, you're so raw & edgy talking smack to strangers on the internet. You're not fooling anyone. I know you have no friends and no game.

I don't know if you know this, but white males and EVERYONE ELSE ON THE PLANET don't exactly have a level playing field. Makes certain jokes hard to laugh at "Ha, ha! Black people are currently reliving the Great Depression. Let's pretend we know what that's like & make fun of it!" I mean, come on. Bigotry and discrimination are still big problems and the only people who get to pretend otherwise are white people. It doesn't take balls to say what he says. I don't know what it takes, but balls don't figure into the equation. I know all you who disagree with me like to paint me as some freak with anger problems (I'm nowhere near a ledge, thanks) who has their undies in a bundle and constantly hurt feelings. Nope. I just don't like Daniel Tosh. And you all seem to have a whole lot more to say about that than me. I've restated my position many, many times on this thread. So I find it superfunny when people like you post replies. You clearly didn't read the whole thing, you say things that other posters have ALREADY SAID, but you still just HAVE to chime in! You're all frothed up & can't help it! So you make a post that defends racism & sexism, talk trash to someone you know nothing about, all the while trying to paint ME as the one who's out of control...yeah...good luck convincing anyone other than yourself.

You need to quit telling other grown folks what to do.

I didn't say he's the devil or that he needs to be stopped. Just that I don't think he's funny. Round of applause to you for failing to read before you act like you know everything! (total clueless-white-person thing to do, btw) Even though I've said it before, I'll go ahead and repeat it for the short bus kids just joining the discussion. HE'S NOT FUNNY ENOUGH. His comedic talent should limit him to poop and fart jokes, but he insists on acting like he has enough talent to tackle serious subjects. He doesn't. Check out Doug Stanhope. He does. And for the record, poster apstaddon went ahead and reported all the posts on this thread making it look like I'm talking to my efin' self. Notice I had nothing to say to them even though they're the only poster who agrees with me? Hm.

All I did is say that I don't think he's funny, and that puts you on the defense to the point that you need to run your mouth to strangers, call people names, defend racism, and generally act like a total dbag. You should get that looked at.

And btw, I really hope that one day you're able to realize that the black people who singled you out and attacked you didn't do it because they were black and you were white. They did it because they were AHOLES. Aholes come in all colors and they use all kinds of excuses to act like aholes - racism is merely a cover. I know of some pretty atrocious stuff done by white people but that doesn't mean all white people are bad. An alarming number of white people think it's okay to engage in oppressive behavior but hey - EVERYONE has room for improvement.

I totally agree! I even mentioned "Ridiculousness" earlier in the thread. I just don't agree with the "he targets all groups so none of us can be mad" logic. Does racism get mass numbers of white people incarcerated in record numbers for non-violent offenses (hello stop-and-frisk)? Nope. Are white people experiencing unemployment numbers that rival the great depression? Nope. Those things are happening to black people. Do men get blunt-object raped so hard they literally DIE because they had the audacity to want to go to the movies on a Sunday? Nope. Do teenage boys who pass out drunk get carried around from party to party basically getting gang-raped on film? Not that I've heard of. Those things sure do happen to women though. So saying that just because Tosh picks on everyone does in no way mean that the way his jokes/attitudes affect everyone is the same. The playing field we all live on is NOT even. Depending on our gender, skin color, country of origin and where we live, we experience this world and it's consequences in really different ways. And as I've said before, I don't know Daniel Tosh so I don't know or even care if he really agrees with the stuff he says on his show - I just think that he should be held accountable for the things he says because he DOES say them and accepts lots of money to do so.

So he's catering to a demographic that finds racism/misogyny/bigotry funny. Is that something you think he (or anyone) should be doing? His "humor" empowers those people by normalizing their hate. I'm pretty sure Matthew Sheppard and Jyoti Singh Pandey wouldn't think it's cool either.

Round of applause for the most recent genius who has failed to read the entire thread and make a comment that has already been posted & responded to multiple times. But hey, what the heck, I'm in a giving mood so here it is, yet again.

I'm aware that he "makes fun" of all different groups all the time. I just disagree with the logic that says all those different groups have the same ability to "take a joke". White men in the US are not beaten to death, road-hauled, have their civil rights violated/discriminated against on the daily, or gang-raped just for being white men. Those things do, however, happen to women and people of color quite often. When media figures make it seem like it's funny to target marginalized populations they normalize hatred and empower bigots. I'm by no means saying that bad things don't happen to white guys. They do. But the things that happen to white dudes aren't quite as hateful, systematic, and frequent as the effed up stuff that happens to women and people of color. You say I'm "conditioned to go into PC defense mode" over certain jokes. If you want to put it that way, fine. I have no problem copping to it: I really care about human rights. Guilty as charged. I don't like bullies. You, on the other hand, are conditioned to defend an oppressive, misogynistic, rape-culture contributing piece of garbage like Daniel Tosh. Why? He's rich, white, and male. He doesn't really need defending. Your protectiveness of him is both weird and totally unnecessary. But you keep on fighting the good fight; I'm sure it's the most worthwhile use of your time.

Any btw, I'm actually really flattered that you think I'm Canadian. :)
