No he didn't he said something offensive to women. Just because tate wasn't offended doesnt mean it wasnt offensive. But the point is saying a jew should burn in hell, saying a female should ride your ****, are offensive to someone. There is no natural science on how offensive one statement is.

"Saying you hate black people is a huge difference between "Ride my ****"




Go ahead and explain the difference.

What's the difference in saying an attractive woman could have sex with you...or hating black people?


Yep you're right Jitz...no difference.

If I went to group of black guys and I said "I hate black people" if i went to a group of girls and I said "You should all ride my ****". What would be the difference? Will one of them not be offended? Is one more offensive than the other? What makes a statement more offensive? Is misogyny not as offensive as racism? 

The point is, you cannot measure offensiveness, but you be rigours in deeming what is offensive and what is, furthermore you need to be consistent in your punishment ( keying off of ****jones point).


(my three best friends are respectively half chinese, black and arabic - so don't take it as I was being racist, but proving a point of offensiveness.)

He didn't say "ride my ****" to either of them, the reporter asked him a stupid question and he replied in a joking manner on twitter. "one ridin' my **** etc"

Never said it to them personally or anything, yes it may be offensive, and the difference between saying you hate black people is that is racist and hateful, where as "Ride my ****" is just a statement that may be offensive.

Welp, Jitz lost. He really just went to the 'I have a black friend' defense.

@ Ben - I do not find ride my **** offensive. I tell my female friends to stop being ****s all the time. The point is, it may be offensive to females. Just like saying i dont like black people may be offensive to some people to. SOme people may not be offended by either of those statements as well.


You guys are missing the point im making and turning, what i wanted to be, good discourse, into taking little things im saying and taking them out of context.

And i already told you, the statement "i dont like back people" is just an example. I have nothing against any race.

No, I used that "defence" because I thought people like you wouldn't be intelligible enough to understand the point I was making.

I think Jitz was just givnig an obvious example of how  society or in this case a bussines company needs to implement some kind of censorship, like he said the thing is where do you draw the line.

 I don´t think neither Diaz or Connor should be fined/punished by his comments in these cases a simple slap in the hand and a heads up could do the work. Personaly I found Connor comments stupid and an unnnecesary joke to make on twitter tell that **** tou your friends but if you make it public you´re taking a  risk, if you don´t mind the negative attention, then go for it, but if you do keep those jokes/comments on your personal circle, and social media isn´t it.

Flying frontkick.. couldnt you say I hate black people in a joking manner as well???? Comedians do it all the time. My black friends always make German jokes, and I make black jokes, and we don't find them offensive.

Jitz you make a valid point, how can you measure offensiveness? Well that shouldn't be very hard if we are staying with the subject and just look on twitter.

You can messure offensiveness perfectly there, just count everyone who is offended. Obviously there would be a much much bigger **** storm if Conor had written something like "I hate black people" but he didn't he tweeted a quote from Dr.Dre, there probably were a few uptight people like you who had a problem with it but not many.

You are not stupid, you can see this don't you?
