Had you actually done a Google search, you would have read this too.

I've just spent the last hour trying to find any racial connotation to Kool aid jokes and I cannot find a single racial Kool aide joke. Not a single one! There are however, blonde kool aide jokes (she couldn't fit 8 cups of water into the packet) and fat people kool aide jokes (she wore a red sweater and everyone yelled Oh YEAH!) but not a single racial comment.


:lol: :lol: :lol: Damn, I wished I'd bothered to look that up! Though, in fair disclosure, the fat woman joke I found actually started "yo mama's so fat". I think we're going to need to get an official word on the racial implications on that one.
not sure if you are a blind idiot or Liar but since you want to make a blatantly disprovable statement again here is a simple google search link... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Ko ... gle+Search Detlef your just as sad...All this further proves why you cannot get the new system basic comprehension of what is right before you seems to be absent



Ummm..... yeah. So that is the exact same search I did and there is NOTHING about racist kool aid jokes. Why don't you actually provide an explanation or examples of such bigoted statements, because I'd really like to understand your point of view. Even Wikipedia has absolutely no mention of racial slander on the Kool aid page, and don't say Wiki weeds out racist stuff because some asshat put "WHITE POWER" on the Nikola Tesla page and its been there for a year.

While you are thinking of your next run-on sentence to post, you should try this Google search.


Hmm I listed a whole page full from the same search maybe we are using different Googles, I love how closet racists try and defend ignorant statements instead of just apologizing or even better admitting their ignorance and apologizing. You people have attempted to derail because your arguments do not hold weight against the system so it is better to get the thread banished by taking us as far off as possible. It at least holds true to form with your rationale behind attacking the rating system, which is a step beyond the old and a vast improvement.

The way tis new system works requires people to objectively look at things and use good judgment in rating. Yes some will abuse it like the old but it is much less arbitrary having the star ratings on categories then just random rants about your like or dislikes of a person. This system when coupled with common sense is simple so it does not need moderation, and was well thought out enough to average so as to compensate for the few abusers without having mod interference. It again when used properly gives a look at a persons playing style and personality.

Since it is an average it takes time before it will give a really full picture and as people learn the system and basis for grading it will level out. Those against this are passionately against it I understand that but instead of reveling in your ignorance and seeking reasons to justify it, try learning, understanding and using correctly, you may find it does work as it was designed to.Attitude is contagious so is ignorance, let go of both and it will be a better CC...



Yeah, you edited your post with those links after I had already quoted you. I have to say that from reading the links you offered up as proof (most of which actually support me, not you) , it is clear that the kool aid references you talk about are culturally and economically driven, not racially driven. I'm sorry to break the news to you, but black people don't hold a monopoly on ghettos and poverty. I do recognize that there is a certain undesirable population that will twist just about anything into a racist comment, but again, black people don't hold a monopoly on being the targets of racism. None of this changes the fact that you clearly misunderstood the context of detlef's kool aid statement. Furthermore, I take GREAT offense to being labeled as a racist, and I'm sure my Korean-American girlfriend would echo that sentiment.


Now if you would like to address the MANY MANY MANY valid points about the rating system rather than deflecting towards non-racist statements, I'd like to see what you have to say. Then again, I'm not really expecting anything different than the "you are too ignorant to understand my elite intellectual musings" schtik you have been on about.

I just speak my mind if someone does not like then they have to deal with there own disdain for it or me. I have been attacked multiple times and turn each on their ear, so instead of arguing the point or acknowledging there mistakes they just get further off topic.I have stayed discussing the ratings system while addressing all these ignorant rants and statements against me.

I find it amusing that the people who cannot stay on topic or rebut properly are also the ones who have such an adamant stance against the new system. It proves my point on the vocal few who will abuse, dissent or both no matter what system is in place. I cannot do anything for the personality flaws involved with it,other then not back down because they are mad and trying to derail with pointless tangents.

The base argument is won and it infuriates some but the facts are the new system needs improvement but it is better for all involved with it then the old. I guess if they want to flame the fact I have broader knowledge on cultural references then them that is there prerogative they are in the wrong forum, and maybe they should try and use the new system give it time and quit fighting so hard against it.

Well, actually everyone here's too stupid to get it and that's why the Ratings system sucks.

Of those threads I posted only 1 mentioned Jonestown and it was pointed out in that same one the dual edge with Obama as koolaid drinkers is a condescending term for black people. All refered to black people not just Ghetto. I am saddened to see that your understanding of most is actually an antonym of the meaning. Lol Korean American huh well I lived in LA, There is no love between Blacks and Koreans(1 love to Latasha Harlins), so that does not make you not racist yet another ignorant statement, and further attempt to derail the conversation. Embrace the new system use it as it was intended and maybe you can have a more positive experience with it...

Did you just say "there's no love between Blacks and Koreans"? Really? And that fact somehow implies that he's dating an enemy to blacks which dismisses his claims that he's not racist?

First off, wow. Secondly, wow. You know, I'm just going to stick with wow here.

Enemy no, but a people who show as much prejudice against black people as white people do yes. Still you do not discuss the ratings system further. The parallel between your antagonistic attacks on me and the system shows a consistent mind state which no amount of posting will change. You do not get what I am saying on multiple levels and subjects so I will quit casting pearls...

I have stayed on topic and responded in kind to personal attacks.You initiated and directed at me by name, and made the mistake of bringing your kids in it and using your failures with them as an example of why the system would not work. Now you are offended because that was recognized and commented on. I did not conceive the system I just am pointing out that it is more balanced then the old. I have used logic for that basis despite the various attacks upon me and tore apart various fallacies used in this conversation both on and off topic. I apologize to those of you who have limited cultural diversity and do not realize the true depths of your statements but reality and truth do not change. The new system can be improved further, as it is already an improvement on the old.


Are you completely insane? Or does simple irony go so far over the top of your stupid head you fail to have a basic grasp of it? Why would I apologise to my highly motivated, highly successful, children? Where did I make any mistake about bringing my children into it? I purely mentioned that teenagers are difficult to handle, are you too stupid to see this? I am agog at your amazing logic. You jump from one thing to another, make spurious connections and then actually think anyone can manage to follow your drivel. Where did I talk about the failures with my children? Where did I say I was offended? You need to understand, it takes respect of someone to be offended by them, I am not and would never be offended by someone who is incapable of coherently holding a thought together for more than a few words and even those are difficult to keep up with such is the meandering way in which you manage to deliver them.

And what are you talking about 'limited cultural diversity'....what is this inane rubbish? Truly you have to be one of the most abject odd debaters I have ever had the complete misfortune to come across.

You have singularly managed to do more damage to this new system than any of us fighting and arguing against it. Please continue.

NO further eveidence of historical use in the black community is needed



Soloman link #1 -- Urban Dictionary: Of the 7 listed examples on the first page, only one of them references black people. Two examples are direct references to Jonestown with one example showing Kool aide as referencing your girlfriend.

Soloman link #2 -- Mao Chan Blog: Within this blog page, the blogger barely discusses anything at all but does happen to mention that there seems to be more advertising of Kool Aide towards black people. There is also a link to Soloman's #1 "look at how racist you guys are being" link.

Soloman link #3 -- Black Press USA.com: This webpage lists a story about a bunch of idiotic college students throwing a MLK party in very, very poor taste. Among the party favors: Chicken, watermelon and kool-aide, all of which are favorites in the humble municipality of Delphos, KS (which BTW has zero black people).

Soloman link #4 -- Stuff Black People Love Blog: Here we go, a blog dedicated to things that black people love, submitted by black people! Of the things listed, Soul Train, how funny white people are when they wear shorts in the cold, plastic grocery bags and (Oh my!) sweet, fruit flavored drinks including (you guessed it) kool-aide. Nothing worse than a bunch of black people being racist towards...... other black people?

Soloman link #5 -- 10 Things People Won't Admit To: This one is actually a quirky little read and will only take about 15 seconds of your time. Guess what? OJ did do it, Jesus wasn't white and hickeys aren't attractive! Who knew?

Soloman link # 6 -- Yahoo Answers: Well now, in this link, we find a 14 year old girl posing the question, "Why can my black friend make racist jokes and I can't?" Well sugar, that would be because racist jokes aren't cool regardless of who tells them. Soloman, do you really want to quote this page as a reference for racist kool-aide jokes? A bunch of early teenagers and pre-teens discussing their vast experience with racism? Or did you just think that nobody would actually look at all the links?

Soloman link #7 -- Baratunde Thurston joke blog: Here we have a joke blog by a very funny dude (who just happens to be black) and he makes a joke about a flavored drink being marketed toward minorities. Apparently the joke is supposed to be a reference to kool-aide, but Mr. Thurston calls it the 'Hugo' softdrink. Again, I fail to see where this is going Soloman.

Soloman link #8 -- Black Jokes: Here Soloman directs us toward some of the most distasteful jokes you'll ever read. Honestly, I can get deep enough into that thread before I'm ready to vomit. The sheer stupidity of the posters there is appalling.

Soloman link #9 -- Kool aide drinkers and Barak Obama: This link directs us to yet another message board where the consensus supports the Jonestown explanation of "drinking the kool-aide". Did Soloman even read any of these webpages before he linked them, or did he just think we would drink his kool-aide?

Soloman link #10 -- Ghetto Test: Yeah YEAH! I'm Ghetto Fabulous!

Soloman link #11 -- Hilary Supporters for John McCain (user submitted jokes): Wow, you sure did get lazy at the end there Soloman. I guess I'm lazy too because I couldn't get past the first two lamest jokes I have EVER read. I'm sure there is something in there you wanted to point out, I just don't want to fall asleep trying to find it.



Soloman, I'm sorry to inform you of your massive failure to provide any substantial proof that kool-aide is indeed a racist reference. Ghetto doesn't equal black, it equals poor. All Obama/kool-aide references are in relation to the blind devotion of his supporters ala Jones and his cult.

Please try again.

Please try again.

I am glad you can interpret things so differently from the rest of American society, Your original statement said you found no black jokes about Koolaid all the ones I listed were on the 1st page of my same search. Now you are saying the connotation Ghetto has nothing to do with Black people.That And the fact Black people make fun of themselves and revel in the ignorance is nothing new, it is a cultural norm at this point. It is ironic to me how half of white society is oblivious of the actions of the rest of white Society and conveniently has no knowledge of the existence of racial jokes and context. The various attacks in the last week by Racist hackers on primarily black or urban websites and the coincidence of there use of Koolaid jokes in subverting threads aside. I did not list results from a search of jokes about black people and KoolAid just from KoolAid jokes 1st page.

So again you read what you wanted and shifted your position so as not to have to admit wrong. You do not have a full picture and maybe you live in a world where ghetto just means poor and has nothing to do with Black People, In a world where you have never heard a black Koolaid or KFC joke, a world that is so politically correct no racial connotations are used or implied with ethnic groups and stereotypes are not projected on individuals, A world free prejudice and where everything means the same thing to all people because all believe the same thing. I would love to be a part of that world but sadly I am in the real world where none of those things are true. This being said Please quit trying to distract from your fallacies and derail the topic any further at hand. Beyond the fact that we obviously have different moral codes(this encompasses all whom I am debating lately) I will acknowledge we do not agree on the ratings system and are at a impasse where I can do nothing but draw attacks from your ilk and you cannot convince me of any part of your opinion.

I really didn't want to get into my personal life much here because, well its personal. However, you are making me out to be something I am not, so I'll explain a little bit about my "uncultured" self.

Actually, I grew up in the ghetto and there was a pretty equal mixture of whites, blacks and hispanics. The one common thread that wove all of these people together: POVERTY. I am no stranger to barred windows, high crime rates, racism or racist humor. I have just never heard of kool-aide being tied to racism. So next time you make broad, sweeping generalizations about other people, you might want to know who the f*ck you are talking to.

You see, I don't generalize that black people are racist just because, while I was in college, I encountered a militant group of black men who were more racist than I could have ever imagined possible at the time. Unlike you, I judge the intentions of people on an individual basis rather than make everyone out as an enemy because I was labeled a "Mick" as a child.

Now with the revelation that this white boy is indeed from the ghetto, you can now start in on how my grandparents and parents were all horrible people, ignorant parents and how they produced a mild mannered young man that has no exposure to other cultures. Never mind these people were immigrants to the United States with no connections and very little education. Never mind these people valued high moral standards and did everything they could to provide their offspring with a quality education.

You can also find a way to weave into your idiotic response how someone who has traveled Europe, India and Indonesia with nothing but the clothes on his back, a bar of soap and a toothbrush (well and a passport of course) has no exposure to other cultures. But before you start in on such a statement, you might take the time to reflect on your own life experiences and compare them to people who suffer great injustices such as government sponsored starvation of its people, ethnic cleansing and no freedom of speech. I would remind you that you indeed lead a sheltered life here in America, and that your perceived existence of persecution is in fact nothing but a construct of your limited mind, most likely because you just have to have something to bitch about.

So go ahead my dear friend Soloman, wax generalizations of which you have no clue. Just be sure to continue using run-on sentences and the gross misuse of the thesaurus, because we wouldn't want you to contradict yourself.
There is no luck, only preparation and execution.

Alliances are for the weak, whimpering masses looking for someone to hold their hand through the storm.

I've noticed in my life that when a debate opponent starts ad hom attacks screaming "racist" it means they've run out of meaningful points to support their case. In simple terms ' I lost the argument' . They have nothing further to add of value, now their only chance to garner sympathy is to hide behind their skin color. The rating system sucks, most folks don't like it. If you don't like it don't re-new your premium membership. Vote with your wallet. It's what I do. By the way, I'm not white, and I am a racist, I never could stand them fuggan assiniboine.

Alright guys, no need to spam up a good post in GD with all this stuff.

Moved the posts that weren't actually related to the rating system to here for ya.

Feel free to talk about all the kool-aid drinking you want ;)
