DrDawkinstein Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 first off, you couldnt pay me enough to go to chippewa. secondly, i imagine i would get "beat down" by some sh------- frat kids for wearing an obvious patriots mask instead of a Bills mask. thridly, no black people would care. its a mask of a football player who is black. what is racist about wearing it? especially to a game he is playing in?!? its not like the dude was wearing it while dressed in overalls and picking cotton...

Stl Bills Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I lay down the challenge to anyone here.Meet me saturday night, you wear the mask on Chippewa and if you dont get your ass beat down within an hour I'll give you $100. I'm not from Bufallo but I'm assuming Chippewa is a bad area. I could bet you a hundred dollars you would get your ass beat hanging out in East Saint Louis within 1 hour if you were wearing that mask....but it wouldn't be a racial thing, it be because you were hanging out in East Saint Louis.

RayFinkle Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hmmmm, lets see...ah racism is a bit offensive to most....but let me ask you this fink ?If Kenny Mayne made you touch his pee pee on the Mayne event would that make it ok?? Would you be outraged ? Would that confuse you ? Or would you just say...hey its ok..its Kenny Mayne.... Really like to see a pencil neck like you wear that mask in front of Randy Moss or any other Black person...than give them the line...hey its ok..Kenny Mayne.... What a douche you are fink...pure douche. So when I go to the costume store to buy a mask, I can buy a Clinton, Bush, McCain, or Obama mask. However, I should not buy the Obama mask, because it would be racist? The pusification of America continues.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE GASH STATION Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 So your pretty much saying its racist to make a mask of any minority, right.......all masks should be of white people only. Is that your argument? Thats racist. Masks of minorities worn by people from outside their own race is racist, particularly when it is a white person wearing a caricature of a black person. Yes, its a joke..I get it, but I feel it is distasteful and racist. If you have ever been the victim of racism or witnessed it first hand you would know what I mean. Instead you sit behind your computer and shovel this pile of crap of yours...thats great dude..I hope you pass that ultimate wisdom of yours on to your kids.

I think that perhaps your anger should be directed at Moss. You can click on the 'email me' link and let him know that you are offended by products that he is selling. As for those who choose to wear his mask...I question their intelligence, not their morality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 so, ..uh.. Bernstiens' wearin' this pink G. And ..uh.. I think she knows damn well where the camera angle is and just decided to say "hi' to the fellas.. Would it be racist to say 'it's all pink'? Can I buy a mask like that?

KD in CA Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Masks of minorities worn by people from outside their own race is racist, particularly when it is a white person wearing a caricature of a black person. Yikes. The sad part is, people like you think they are doing some heroic deed by looking for excuses to cry 'racism' at innocuous, everyday situations. I guess everyone better reevaluate their Halloween costume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the guy is a Randy Moss fan and chose to show it in this way. How about a white guy that likes Jimi Hendrix a lot? What if he gets a tattoo depicting Jimi? Is that racist?

Heels20X6 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Put one on and go to a game..any game...see what happens..Better yet, Put one on and go down to Chippewa street..even on Halloween..see how many people are ok with it...I bet ya anything you dont have the stones to do it. Ummm...if you go to my facebook site, I have a picture from last years Bills-NE Sunday Nighter with three guys wearing the masks with each one wearing a different Moss jersey (Vikes, Raiders, & Pats). It was at the END OF THE GAME, so I'm pretty sure they didn't get their "@ss beat" like you proposed they would. As a man of color, nothing grinds my gears than someone (white or black) creating false outrage over non-existent racism. It makes the ACTUAL cases of racism to become trivialized...

Down here in Atlanta we know a little about racism. so far, no one has had a problem with it. Not EVERY SINGLE THING that has to do with a white person and a black person is racist. you can do something and even say something RACIAL without being RACIST.
