Coach Carter wank... feels dirty saying that, somehow...
IMDB wank, how we adore thee.

Because I am an idiotmasochist, I frequently poke around the IMDB message boards. Yes yes, I know. That's my first mistake.

On the Coach Carter boards, apparently the issue of race has come up several times as a subject of discussion. Might as well beat that dead horse a little more, I always say. Anything worth doing is worth doing right.

Quangijuat starts a new topic, A RACIST MOVIE!!!!!11 with the sole intent of mocking/calling to attention the absurdity of calling every movie ever made OMG!RACIST!! Unfortunately, the rest of the board is (a) dumber than a box of rocks, (b) does not read past the subject header of a post before composing a reply, (c) all of the above, and much wank ensues.

I'm not sure if this is actual wank or just mind-numbing stupidity, so flog and berate me if necessary.



"I'm a god damn Eskimo. Also it is pretty obvious that you didn't read my post past the first sentence, so I will let your irrevelant message slide. "


"I agree whole heartedly with your assertion that Coach Carter is a racist movie. I mean, there is only ONE white man in the whole film! One! Why, if we do a statistical analysis of California, we see that 45% of the population is white, while 15% are black. According to this ratio, shouldn't there be at least 3 white people to every one black person? Looking at the town of Richmond specifically, the amount of black people STILL only clocks in at 25%, while whites mark a much higher 40%.

It is clear that Coach Carter does not accurately reflect the racial proportions of a real life scenario. We should strive to have total and complete ethnic reality! It just isn't fair to all the white people that they automatically have a lesser chance of getting into a "black" movie, simply because their skin color does not qualify them as such!! It's unfair, and exceptionally racist!

I'm so glad we see eye to eye on this subject."


"you are a *beep* retarded piece of *beep*
this moive was not racist
*beep*
fag"


"HOW IS IT RACISTS!! ITS A TRUE STORY!!!!!! AND NOT EVERYONE WHO PLAYS BASKETBALL IN THE MOVIE IS BLACK. SO UR SAYING THAT EVERY MOVIE WITH BALCK IN IT AS STARS (WHICH IS BARELY EVER) IS RACISTS BUT IN EVERY MOVIE WITH ONLY WHITE PPL IS NOT? UR THE ONE RACISTS IF UR SAYING THAT. JST BECUZ BLACK PPL ARE IN A MOVIE ITS RACIST. U THE ONE RACISTS!!!!!!!!!"


Hello head? Meet my desk.

You missed my favorite reply: "Just so you know, 11 is not a punctuation mark."

I am going to steal that one frequently.

I cry now. No wonder IMDB provides us with a never-ending supply of asparagus-flavoured spooge- look at the people posting.

Also, is Eskimo really a racist term? Someone please clarify. *looks at slightly melty and squashy Eskimo pie sadly*

No idea. My step father spent a good chunk of his life establishing schools in some villages, and he said they called themselves "Eskimos" at that time.

My understanding is that Eskimo was a term used for all of the northern tribes by European invaders. Some natives find it offensive because they know their tribe (see: Inuit), but others use it because a lot of their traditional knowledge/practices have been lost due to colonization.

*shrugs* Some First Nations people find "Native American" offensive because it implies there was only one group; I think this is a similar idea. *cough* And no, I'm not entirely too obsessed with First Nations things.

Hambone- Us Eskimos actually possess futuristic, Atlantis-like technology that we keep hidden beneath the tundra. We harness this technology for the sole purpose of making posts on internet forums.

*sigh* I want to be an Eskimo.

Man, every movie with Balck in it? Even the one where Balck plays the cynical yet lovable minority character with a heart of gold struggling against a tyrannical minority, love interest played by JoBeth Williams?

So disillusioning. I used to LOVE Balck.

So as I'm reading this my nightly news comes on where they're interviewing people at the high school wanking and talking about how Carter did the whole thing for wank. Eh, yea, this is going to get good.

I live in a suburb of Cleveland [...] Maybe my city is actually the secret global head quarters of some kind of crazy white supremacy organization.

Actually, the KKK is pretty heavy here in Ohio.

"HOW IS IT RACISTS!! ITS A TRUE STORY!!!!!! AND NOT EVERYONE WHO PLAYS BASKETBALL IN THE MOVIE IS BLACK. SO UR SAYING THAT EVERY MOVIE WITH BALCK IN IT AS STARS (WHICH IS BARELY EVER) IS RACISTS BUT IN EVERY MOVIE WITH ONLY WHITE PPL IS NOT? UR THE ONE RACISTS IF UR SAYING THAT. JST BECUZ BLACK PPL ARE IN A MOVIE ITS RACIST. U THE ONE RACISTS!!!!!!!!!"

is it possible to headdesk and splorfle at the same time? This is quite a cunundrum, really.

And I have to agree here. You hardly ever see "balacks" in movies these days. How racist.

And I know, spelling wank and all that. But it's only there to protect me from teh stoopid.

I think Both of yall is absolutly buggin (Hambon & Quanijaunt). Im black and I loved the movie. It is not racist and if you actually saw the movie you would see there were like 4 white people on the basketball team and samual L. Jackson had some stats of his own. And there was not just black people attending the school. Have you ever considerd the fact that maybe the white students at Richmond would have rather played baseball or wrestling instead of basketball.If you actually lived in a city like mine (Which is almost exactlly like Richmond) We have drive-by's and that kind of stuff all the time. And when I walk down the street I see way more black kids playin street-ball then white kids. If anything I THINK YALL IS RACIST. This movie was probably intended for Minority (black) kids because alot of poeple really do think that growin up in the kind of conditions we do we will get into jail rather than college. White poeple do not have to be in every single movie there is made. Why are you two gettin all worked up JUST BECAUSE WE BLACK POEPLE GOT SOME SPOTLIGHT TO OURSELVES. I dont care if you didnt like the movie but dont DARE call it racist when you dont know what you talkin about.


(EVEN IF THE FIRST POST WAS SARCASTIC RACISIM IS NOTHIN TO PLAY WITH SO ALL YALL WHO THINK YOU INSULTIN PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH THE FIRST POST BY CALLIN THEM IDIOTS SHOULD REALLY SHUT THE *beep* UP
---------------------------------------------------------------


Why do people have to act and even type like a stereotype?

Either the above poster at IMDB is a white kid or a black person with some serious esteem issues(ie: the need to prove their "blackness" even over the anonymous internet forum)
