Reason: Racist Jokes
Time: 10min Mute

[mattjtv]

Mind you, I am not racist at all, just saying racist jokes.
I tell my other raced friends these kind of jokes all the time and they laugh because they know I am not seriously a person who thinks this way

[Cori83]

Yes, but how am I supposed to see the difference between you and theoreticalpersonI'mmakingup, who really means it? You see my point?

[mattjtv]

I wouldn't be making a joke if I really was a racist, I would just say a straight up racist remark.

Might I remind you of rule #4 of the Member Rules section on the main homepage which CLEARLY states
"No discrimination of any kind (sexism,racism,etc) or any hate speech."

I did not discriminate, and I could probably argue with a joke being hate speech. I started with a fun Jesus joke, and I saw some racist jokes going down so I joined in.

Matt, you don't know how people take it. It's called a RACIST joke for a reason.

Your argument is just telling us you don't know what racism is...

It is offensive, sure, but I am not a racist. I don't discriminate people for being a different color than I am.

You weren't muted for "being a racist," you were muted for making racist jokes, which are offensive to some people, and break the server rule about discrimination. You acknowledge you made these jokes, the mute was justified, end of subject.

I am Jam, and I approve this message. Matt is not a racist

This part however, I do not approve of. It's like saying "I hit my Girlfriend, but I'm not a girl basher".

Plus, saying you do it "All the time", pretty much says you are a racist.
