Unban is ass! Ife needs him:bawling:

No.. keep him locked away forever.

Lol, what did he get banned for? Was it the giant vagina he posted?

oh okay, it's alright to refer to a Housemate's "chocolate skin" now?

He wasn't being racist :conf:

it was a compliment, Ife is his favorite

[Ross]

pmsl Shaun, I love how you just blurted that out.
poor Tommy. :( x

[Shaun]

either way it was a stupid comment to make. I doubt it was racist, but it's more than likely just a pointless bit of controversy he posted for attention.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Ife is his favorite and she is black so why is he racist?

[Shaun]

Oh Niamh please get a ****ing clue. Favourite or not, referring to someone who is black as "chocolate skinned" is far from okay. It's stupid, it's narrow-minded, and whilst it may not be malicious, it's patronising and degrading to her race.

[Stacey.]

Ife is his favorite and she is black so why is he racist?

Isn't calling someone 'black' racist nowadays?

[MissKittyFantastico]

Actually black people often refer to themselves as chocolate skinned so I really don't see the problem.

And no Stacey, black is not an offensive term at all.

[InOne]

Isn't calling someone 'black' racist nowadays?

No.

[Niamh.]

Do they? Do they all? Thank you, Ambassador to the entire black race.

What the **** has the second part got to do with you? I was referring to bettiepage.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Where did I say they ALL do? No need for the sarcasm Shaun, I was simply stating the fact that some do, you're overreacting.

[WOMBAI]

Unban is ass! Ife needs him:bawling:

I have to ask the inevitable question - whose Tommy?

[Shaun]

Where did I say they ALL do? No need for the sarcasm Shaun, I was simply stating the fact that some do, you're overreacting.

Well then you've just answered and discovered the problem here yourself - SOME ARE comfortable with it, whereas inevitably some will not be. I am not.

[Niamh.]

No need to swear at me:hugesmile:

[Niamh.]

are you black?

Sorry Shaun, I wasn't aware that you were black.

Do I have to be to consider something racist or not?

[Niamh.]

Do I have to be to consider something racist or not?

I would imagine you would have to be to be offended by it yes

[Locke.]

He is too attention seeking for me to want him to be unbanned. Might aswell just leave him banned for a bit to give a few of us a bit of peace.

[Shaun]

I would imagine you would have to be to be offended by it yes

That is the biggest pile of codswallop I have ever heard. Anyone can be offended by racism - victim or witness. Do you think everyone who was white in the 60s just stood by going "oh, well, these black fellows have got a marvellous campaign here, but I don't feel any sympathy for them or the past 200 years of their mistreatment"?

[WOMBAI]

Do they? Do they all? Thank you, Ambassador to the entire black race.

Sounds very much like the pot calling the kettle to me!

[Niamh.]

pardon the pun lol

[Jessica.]

Would a white person be offended if someone said their skin was like milk or something? Think about it, stop being stupid. I can't believe ye are fighting about the word chocolate.

yes if Tommy commited some sort of crime but clearly he was complimenting his favorite HM

[Shaun]

I actually give up. I'd be surprised at the amount of ignorance in this thread, but then I remember it is TiBB. You go ahead and campaign to get your friend back.

Thanks Shaun, seeing as we have your permission we might just do that:hugesmile:

As if we needed permission anyway!

Free the TiBB one!!!! We love Tommy <34

[Shaun]

And again I say - you don't have to be malicious to be ignorant or prejudiced. Half of the country's racists have this "BUT MY BEST FRIEND'S BLACK x" attitude that they seem to think disqualifies them from it - which is all very well, but continually demeaning and referring to another person on the very colour of their skin IS prejudice.

[Stacey.]

It wasn't just this once he was racist though, he is quite a lot actually.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Tommy is not racist ffs.

[spitfire]

Your powers of observation astound me, Padowan.
So Mr White boy,would you be offended if someone said you have milky bar coloured skin?

[Niamh.]

he was describing the colour of her skin, people do that all the time, just yesterday I said that my daughter has lovely sallow skin, does that make me racist against tanned people?

[Twilight]

**** hes banned? aw i liked him :/

[Shaun]

So Mr White boy,would you be offended if someone said you have milky bar coloured skin?

I would find it to be a pointless and mindless assertation about my skin colour. Would I be upset? No. Would I find it ridiculous and prejudiced? Yes.

[MrGaryy]

I'm sorry that's like calling a chinese person 'slits'. It's not necessarily malicious given the context but it stems from ignorance.

[Shaun]

he was describing the colour of her skin, people do that all the time, just yesterday I said that my daughter has lovely sallow skin, does that make me racist against tanned people?

Well no, since tanned people aren't a race...

[spitfire]

You need to grow a set.
How the hell is it prejudiced?

[MissKittyFantastico]

I'm sorry that's like calling a chinese person 'slits'. It's not necessarily malicious given the context but it stems from ignorance.

Not really, that would definitely be seen as being mocking and offensive, calling someone 'chocolate skinned' is no way the same imo.

[Shaun]

You need to grow a set.
How the hell is it prejudiced?

For the love of God...it's TYPECASTING SOMEONE BY THEIR SKIN COLOUR.

What do you not understand!?

Did he say she was beautiful? No. Did he say she had lovely eyes, or a firm physique? No. He said her skin was chocolate. Was he suggesting she is made from Lindt? No. Jesus Christ, the intentions were obvious - and FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME - I'm not saying he IS racist, I'm saying he's stupid and attention-seeking.

[Braden]

Well no, since tanned people aren't a race...

PMSL! :p

[MeMyselfAndI]

Your powers of observation astound me, Padowan.

wtf
:conf:

[MrGaryy]

Not really, that would definitely be seen as being mocking and offensive, calling someone 'chocolate skinned' is no way the same imo.

What is the difference? It's comparing someone's skin to confectionery, talk about childish. That's the sort of thing I'd expect from a child who has yet to be educated about world races.

[Braden]

The only way this is going to be solved is if we ask Ife if the comment offended her, yeah I don't think were gunna an answer, so let's stop arguing :)

[Niamh.]

Well no, since tanned people aren't a race...

Tanned white people then?

[MissKittyFantastico]

But you reported him for being racist Shaun surely? Not for attention seeking?

So if you accept that he wasn't being racist, it seems a bit pathetic to report him for making a thread that in the grand scheme of Tibb is nothing compared to some of the **** that gets posted round here.

[MrGaryy]

Ironically, his thread was no more attention seeking than THIS thread.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Noun

Singular
chocolate


chocolate ( plural chocolates)

1. A food made from ground roasted cocoa beans.

Chocolate is a very popular treat.

2. A single, small piece of confectionery made from chocolate.

He bought her some chocolates as a gift.

3. A dark, reddish-brown colour/color, like that of chocolate.

As he cooked it the whole thing turned a rich deep chocolate.

The reason I put in the report, I believe, was something short-hand about "stupid, going to cause trouble".

If you've even seen the thread - which I highly doubt because you're part of a collective that hops around without context or understanding - you'll see that it provoked a lot of users expressing shock at Tom's statement. I didn't see what became of it, indeed only until this thread popped up did I find out he was banned (who knows, it could have been something entirely different in which case this is very pointless :P) - but I assume something DID become of it, if he was banned for it.

To be honest, I think if Ife knew about this she'd be offended.. I mean she even got offended over two people saying 'cringe' at her lmfao.

Excuse me?! I did see the thread actually and I'm perfectly capable of making up my own mind without this imaginary 'collective' so I actually don't have a clue what you're talking about there tbh.

I'm assuming you report every thread that is made on here that you think is going to cause trouble then? Because there are several made every day and I don't see you jumping on your high horse over them? Or is it one rule for you and yours and another for everyone else?

[MissKittyFantastico]

[MissKittyFantastico]

Oh lord, you're laughing about an argument over racism and you're women in your thirties. God your lives are wild. I'm bored of this, ttyl.

No we're actually laughing at your statement that we travel round as 'a collective' when in fact every time you get into a debate, at least one of your buddies magically appears. Now that's both ironic and funny.

On ANTM Tyra Banks always put girls through and say they have "beautiful chocolate skin" when they are a certain darkness. There's nothing racist about it.

[Miss Ivy Balls]

This is why there should be more mods on TiBB. This thread should have been closed a long time a go. It is just causing arguments. I doubt bettiepage even likes Ife. He is pretending to like the person everybody hates. They have someone on Digital Spy who does the exact same thing every year.

Oh please. No disrespect but you know as well as I do that you are part of a very much real clique on the forum made up of you, InOne, Niamh, Smithy, Ninastar, bettiepaige ect. Not that there's anything wrong with that but lets not pretend otherwise.

So does that mean we can't think for ourselves Gary? Sure you have your own clique and we don't bash you for that so what's the problem? This was a thread for Tommy and Shaun played the 'oh you pathetic lot and your collective' card not us.

[WOMBAI]

Oh lord, you're laughing about an argument over racism and you're women in your thirties. God your lives are wild. I'm bored of this, ttyl.

It's really pathetic how you always attempt to bring a woman's age into an argument - not necessary if your argument is strong enough! You keep accusing me of being menopausal - when you know bugger all about me or my age! :rolleyes: You harp on about people being racist - when you sound pretty darn sexist to me! :rolleyes:

It was actually a light hearted thread Thomas, not designed to cause trouble at all. And Tommy does actually like Ife so he's entitled to make whatever thread he likes really, he wasn't meaning to be offensive in the slightest, some people have just got their heads up their self important backsides again.

No, he said we were a collective that flit about and don't actually have a clue what's going on, basically saying that we all follow each other about the forum getting into debates/arguments for the hell of it, which is untrue, that was why I said I don't know what he's talking about. We're a group of people who happen to chat together sometimes, same as you and Shaun etc on MSN, so why did he have to get all high and mighty when it was nothing to do with the thread?
