I'm not offended by the words i'm offended by the way they're being used. Calling a black of african-american person urban is racist even if you're not trying to be.I don't understand why some of y'all can't get that.
this is thread is becoming a lot for me to handle. i feel like everyone pretty hates me right now and i don't understand why i'm the wrong for talking about this. maybe this isn't the right forum to talk about this kinda stuff with. most of you are pretty young like 12 to 16 but of course theres older members as well but the younger ones outnumber them i'm sure. haha i'm talking like i'm old i'm only 17. maybe some of you guys really just don't care or just understand why its important but hopefully you will someday. i don't know i'm kinda feeling like shit right now. i feel like the outcast of the forum but that's more a personal problem i'll have to deal with.
oh this isn't a goodbye or me closing the thread by the way. this thread is here to stay.
Some people really have some personal hang up's dont they...
Jeeez.....
But out of interest what are we suposed to call people these days? It seems we carnt call anyone anything descriptive, this crap does my head in....
Give it 2 years you wont be able to say what make of car u have..... worlds going mad
Do you know they have banned teaching of the song "baa baa blacksheep" in UK schools and nursery's? Insane....... why are we wasting interweb kB's on this shit...
um..that's not what i'm talking about. you can't call a black person urban because its kinda racist even you're not or even you're trying to be. i'm not making you waste KBs you chose to click on the thread and comment so blame yourself. i think then banning baba blacksheep in the UK is absolutely ridiculous and not necessary.

I have a question for everyone:
Why are we still giving a fuck about race? Who cares? It doesn't affect someones personality, so why the fuck is this even an issue?
I'm black and I dont really mind the "urban" jokes. I dont take it too seriously given it was meant to be comical in the game. But maybe I havent seen enough of them to really annoy me yet.
oh no i know kenny just kinda said it. i like the joke and i thought it was funny and put in at the right time in the game. what i'm talking are the people that still use the joke. not the people that use to make memes or talk about kenny i'm talking about the people that use the word urban to desricbe lee or other black people or characters because its racist. kenny isn't racist and i'm sure the making the urban jokes aren't either(can't speak for all of them) but the statements that they're making are racist.
Holy shit this thread blew up.
I think you're overreacting a bit as far as the "urban" jokes go. I don't think it's meant to actually be racist, Kenny just blurted it out.
People that use the word "urban" to describe people like Lee and Mike are just poking fun although it seems to go a bit far sometimes, all it is deep down is a joke. That's my view.

oh yeah i know they're just joking but sometimes they go too far and i've also seen the joke used for real people.
Like someone made a thread saying that their teacher's last name was Everett and then someone said "is she urban?" and the OP responded "no" then the same person said "well is her husband urban?"

Well no she's black, that's it. People base it off Clem's parents and most people think Clem's mom is asian or mixed or something but not black can't be. She is.
Why did you start this discussion? To cause racial hatred? I don't care what her race is. she's cute and she has a good character.
If you're so mad and obsessed about Clementine's race just go shout;
why would a thread to cause racial hatred? what kind of person would do that?
i know the forums hate threads like this but i did it anyway. i'm getting beat up pretty badly on this thread because i'm pretty sure everyone hates me but i could be wrong.

I can see how you could think that, and if you didn't know about TWD Game it could seem racist. But here, in this fandom, I believe the term "urban" is just purely for joking purposes. And really the only place "urban" is used is here. For instance, someone found a picture of a place called "Everett's Pharmacy", and I said "Does an urban work there?" Because I knew the people of the forums would understand it was a joke and wouldn't take it as racist.

see that's racist.
exactly. just don't use it in real life use. only use it around people that understand. if you choose to use in real life someone might be offended or maybe do you bodily harm. so all i wanted to say with this thread was be careful with that joke, understand it, and don't use outside of this fandom, in real life or around people that don't understand and will be offended by it.

Where did this situation happen? On this forum? On another?
IMHO, this is one small instance in all of life. Just because one person uses the joke in a bad way not mean it's going to spread to the rest of the world.
I am black myself and i am very disappointed and upset that you made this ridiculous thread. I am black and i use the " Urban " joke myself sometimes. Does this make me a racist? Definitely not. You don't have to take everything seriously that people say. This is the 21 century, most people are educated well enough to understand that racism is stupid and people on this Forum that are using the " Urban " joke are definitely not racist.
After so much hate discussions recently, a little " Urban " joke here and there is more then welcome. People are just trying to enjoy the time they are on this forum.
i'm sure it won't but i'm just letting people know whats gonna happen if they choose to.
say whatever you'd like it doesn't matter words are words but understand in certain contexts words can be offensive and you have to be ready for whatever comes at you for it.

i know its a joke and i know they don't mean it but i made this thread anyway.
i'm sorry i go on rants and get very angry and into it but know i don't care anymore.
people can say whatever i don't care.

Many members of this community would not use this term in real life scenarios. I certainly wouldn't. There are a few stupid members of this community that misunderstand and misuse the te and will hurt some people because of it. But it's not going to be that much of a big deal that it gets to the point that every time the term is used people call the person racist. It just won't.
it was on this forum.

I do hope this thread dies soon. Two potential flames in one thread is gonna start a bonfire. Kenny's assumption was just a inside thing. To use it in other places is not to be taken seriously. Mostly everyone knows the joke and don't ever use it as a way to describe black characters in insulting ways. It's a light joke, get over it. As for race, that has already been concluded and does not need a thread to be discussed with as that leads to unneeded arguments that have occurred in the past.
well i'm sorry if you didn't like this. seriously i am. when i wrote this it meant a lot to me but the more people comment i start to care less and feel bad for making it which i shouldn't. it'll die down like all the threads do. maybe i shouldn't be on this forum. i figure most of you hate me anyway.

" i figure most of you hate me anyway. "
Nobody here is hating you. Peope are just trying to make you realize, that creating this thread wasn't a good idea.
I am sorry, but that simply isn't true. Smart people can admit the mistakes they made and try to move on. It's the stupid ones, that stick to their false statements.
maybe it wasn't the best idea but at time and even know a little i think it was.
i said what i said and i have to stand by it if even it wasn't a good idea.
"Many members of this community would not use this term in real life scenarios."
Just because you don't say something in real life doesn't make it right to say on the internet regardless. Frankly I get that urban jokes are jokes. I take no offense from it because I know you guys mean no harm (at least from what I have seen). Not a big deal some can be a big deal to others I guess. That's all.

It's quite astounding how ignorant and misguided some people in this thread our, not to mention offensive. But Kenny is a Redneck so you know what that might entail.

If only thats the way the world really was but people have been dividing each other since the beginning of time.

Butt hurt, annoyed, irritated, mad. It really does not matter. People should be considerate of other peoples feelings.

Do you have any instances of people using the term in a racist way in real life?
that's all i've been trying to say but people keep twisting my words trying to make me sound like i don't know what i'm talking about.
that one example i told you and based on that i worry that it'll spread into real life and that's very bad.
