"Monday" is a Racist Word

My friend usually go to Saturday pool parties, but never heard her talk about Monday pool parties.

 

[Capt Caveman]

I'm off tomorrow. So, Thursday is my Friday.

 

[momeNt]

Guys stop or we will lose this word too.

 

[American Gunner]

I wonder if Popeye's has a special that they run on Mondays.

 

[techs]

I suddenly have an urge for watemelon.

You're a meatloaf.

The guy meatloaf is directed to happens to be black. The saying "I hate meatloaf" means meatloaf is a racial slur.

Just so we are all clear. EVERY racial minority's DEFINING characteristic is their race. If you refer to them in any way other than their name, you are referring to their defining characteristic. In MANY cases their name is also racial, and if you use their name incorrectly, you are also being racist. Like saying okay LADASHA in a way that emphasizes the racial background of that name.

Except saying meatloaf doesn't make any sense in the context. Monday's a day that's pretty much universally disliked. If you said

"I call them meatloaf because everyone hates meatloaf" I'm pretty sure nobody would understand what the hell you're talking about.

"I call them Monday's because everyone hates Monday's" most people would get the reference just about instantly.

"I call them Friday's because everyone hates Friday's" nobody hates Fridays though.

Never knew Garfield was such a racist. :hmm:

What if, instead of "Monday", we used "root canal". Does calling someone a "root canal" suddenly become racist, too?

If so, we could really clear out the dictionary using that logic.

Nope it wouldn't really work, while people obviously don't like Root Canals. I never see people sitting around talking about how much they hate them. Every single Monday I come across a handful of people bitching about how much they hate the day. Often times you'll see groups of co-workers discussing and bitching how it's the worst day of the week by far. I really don't think there could be another word used here with the same effect. The racist person who came up with this clearly put a ton of thought into it it wasn't just by chance he came up with Monday. The only other word that could have worked here is Taxes imho, and even that is something people only typically bring up once in a while, so even that wouldn't have the same impact.

LOL - Before the edit, I was going to mention taxes.

So wait, this is an issue because some shitty comic came up with a lame bit? Give me a fucking break.

KT

No, FFS, please listen to the video, Len. The comic did not make this up. This is what white racists in Boston have taken to derogatorily calling ALL BLACKS, as the comic found out. The vid is a minute and half long. Educate yourself.

As the white guy explained to this comic, they call ALL BLACKS that because, "Nobody likes Mondays." It's been listed in the Urban Dictionary for quite some time.

These days, there are very few lynchings. Oh sure, the occasional black guy get beaten and then tied with a rope behind a pick-up truck and dragged to his death by white guys he never knew and had zero to do with just because he's black.

Obama is President so we must all magically be living in a post-racial society, right? Hardly. But blatant racism is still kinda' frowned upon, so ignorant racists, like this cop, have taken to hiding their racism behind code words.

Like when this same cop, at the Leominster's St. Patrick's Day celebration, saw an black American man who's almost certainly never been to Africa wearing a shirt displaying the name of the Irish beer Guinness, and and felt the need to say to him, "I didn't know they serve Guinness in Africa."

This is a primitive piece of shit who, when he encounters black people, feels the need to spew racist trash talk at them, just because they're black.

Like when he was in a bar watching black NBA players and felt the need to repeatedly call them the 'N' word.

This guy is a fucked-up racist piece of crap.

He shouldn't be a cop, and now, thanks to his repeated inability to keep his fat racist mouth shut, he's not.

Welp, you learn something new every day. Had no idea and had never heard that before today.

So disappointed in this thread...

Sort of, words only mean what people/society determines they mean. When I was in middle school my mom got on to us for cussing so I started saying "soccer" in the place of "fuck." Guess what? It had the same effect/meaning and I was told to stop cussing, again. I'm sure the list would have gone on endlessly before I just couldn't talk anymore. Something similar happened in high school in a social studies class but I think it was part of a "social experiment" it didn't take people who we're part of the experiment to figure out that the words people were using meant something else.

I could say any word and if it doesn't mean anything to you, then you don't care. I could say hi, and you take it as slang for something negative and all of a sudden...


Fuck Monday's they're always getting in the way of my fun and making me go back to work. I've had enough of their shit, isn't there some way we could just get rid of them?

 

[T_Yamamoto]

Monday.






Ban me. I said something racist.

 

[MetalMat]

Well I like Monday night football

 

[amdhunter]

Yet, you sent me a friend request.

Please accept it if you haven't done so already. ^_^

 

[Lifted]

Are Monday-cars built by black people? :hmm:

 

[zinfamous]

It's actually Tuesdays around here. ...but my town has more Indians and Koreans than it has black people.

:hmm:

 

[boomhower]

On the surface it seems stupid. Obviously the term is more locally used and not widely known. The killer is the guy has a history of making racist comments so assuming this was a racist comment was of his own doing.

oh look. its just another manic Monday.
i wish you were a Sunday.

 

[destrekor]

I wonder who would most accurately be referred to as a Sunday.
Considering it's the first day of the week. :sneaky:


For that matter, if we are to be most politically correct, and to ensure we are referring to other people as accurately as possible... who, precisely, are Tuesdays?
