Title: Racism
Post by: Donald Duck on August 17, 2008, 02:58:17 PM
Michael,

Due to the blatant racist element that has taken over this forum, I have no choice but to inform you to remove "Kenny's Joke Corner".
I cannot and will not be connected to such racial, Nazi style utterings.

Haven't really been posting much lately either; what's going on?  It would be a pity if this all turned nasty - there is so much negativity in the world already; please not here too!

You are pulling the wrong card Kenny

I can only read between lines, spell it out what and who do you mean

But if you want me to remove that board, let me know, or Mike can do it when he is back

No answer but not to worry Georg Sr - seems that this may be aplace to start avoiding if insults are going to be flung.  Sad but there you have it.

Agreed, Georg

I believe that there is no such thing as a stupid question,

Just wish some of the teachers I had had thought that way, unfortunatly a lot couldn't answer my questions and Implied I was stupid for asking.

When I became an apprentice, Uncle Harry Smith ( Bobby's Dad) told me the only stupid question is the one we do not ask because we will never know the answer.
He always said, "If I dont know I will find out and give you an answer as soon as I can"  He kept his promise

I'll be daring now.
This "joke" is the cause for all. Kenny called me a racist for this. Now he's even calling me a nazi without saying my name.
Coward!.

IF ANYBODY BELIEVES THIS IS RACIST; PLEASE pm ME!!!!

@ jnr

you could have just changed the heading to read the German Gvnmt that would have saved lots of trouble and all would have a laugh

I still see nothing wrong with that, i am really interested to see who else agrees with you and me on that

Seen it so many times ..  the word .. well offensive . depends upon the angle on takes .. I dont use it ..  I get told I am racist when i am just trying to do my job .. or dont tell some employees what they want to hear .. sad thing is  although  we have an open  free  society racism is as entrenched  in legislation as it was before ..  so where does it all end ??

Hey Kenny/Donald duck what's up with you, got PMS or something.  You should not throw stones if you are guilty too, what about the joke of "Paulas brain" is that not discrimination?  Life's short so lighten up, I didn't go cry in a corner now did I, you are a big boy, a whole 7 years old, maybe when you are 8 you will catch the joke!

Never mind Georg jr, even Prince Harry got into trouble for wearing his SS uniform to a fancydress  ha ha

Mike Stenson sent me a PM stating tha "munt" is the slang word for black man. Thanks Mike. I didn't know.
So for a moment I thought I'm on the racist side. After checking the joke, I have this conclusion:
You guys ( the contacts I have to SA) are wriing about the racism toward the whites. You say it's the wrong skin color to have if you're looking for a job especialy in high places. So what's wrong with making fun of the point, that being black gives you a better chance being in high positions in the SAgovernment.

@Paula  Yes Paula. Mentioned it somewhere else too. You're also one of the people he's been insulting. I think he only insuls those getting more responce on this board. Grow up DD.

Well, now I learned something as well.  Also didn't know that, Georg.  Even so, I know you are not a racist, so please just shrug it off and ignore those bringing you down!
Title: Re: Racism

My last words on the issue:   It looks like this whole joke incident could have been avoided.  If the complainant (Kenny) simply sent a PM to the person who posted the joke (Georg), clarifying the complaint (like Mike S did), I'm sure Georg would have removed the joke himself without a problem.  It was not his intention to make racist remarks, and just like me, he didn't know what the post-fix to the words meant.  In stead, an attack was launched against Georg (and his Dad) which I still feel was inappropriate.  So, in future, if I should post something any of the members find is not suitable for the forum, simply send a PM, it's so easy!

Hear, hear Bertie; resolve things amicably or not through a pm to the person or to Mike if you feel uncomfortable.  This should be and must stay a safe space for fun, laughter, debate and respect for each other no matter one's personal views.  My last 2c worth as well!

Dit some search about " Munt "

Here what i found, it refers to coins
Should be no problem to be understood, ressembles Afrikaans

Munt is a piece of metal used as money 
( free translation by me )

Inne munt is e sjtök metaal dat as geld gebroek weurt, meistal in de vorm van rón platte sjiefkes, mit 'n doersjnei van inne hauve tot 3 cm. De waerd van inne munt weurt doer de euverheid gegarandierd. Bie 't geld dat huuj gebroek weurt höbbe munte meistal 'n liëger waerd dan bankbiljette. De waerd van inne munt weurt in de correspondierende munteinheid opgegegaëve.

Thanks dadswa, there we have it "Munt" is money and in another language it could mean something totaly different.
There was also a athlete that had to have her first name changed for the event in that country as her name ment in their  language "blowjob"  image201 shame poor girl!
