Just another day at the orifice.

I'm gonna go ahead and pretend this never happened.

Just need a bit of magic. Who's got the magic?

Six points ahead of where we were after 12 matches last season and five points behind the 2011-12 season. It would take a pretty robust collapse to go down.

Points. Three of them. Ballers, puttin' numbers on the board!

What side was he on?

Hey Germans, break out your Jew jokes. It's okay now!

What is your point? People generally don't respond to jokes about their perceived lack of ability or undesirable characteristics with random observations about the color of things. Rather, they respond with similar jokes about the other's perceived lack of ability or undesirable characteristics. For example, I don't respond to jokes that I'm a loud, fat, stupid American by telling the other person that their shirt is blue. Taylor was teased by teammates about his lack of facility with the French language. He responded with a joke about them being black. Perhaps he's a slobbering imbecile and responded to a jibe about his French with a random observation that they are black. I don't think so. Whether he realized it or not--probably not--underlying his observation that his teammates are, in fact, black is the presumption that there is something undesirable about being black. Whether you like it or not--and it's clear that you don't--based on the historical treatment of blacks by whites, it's not appropriate for whites to joke in this manner. Alternatively and entirely conceivably based on the fact they work together and speak to each other every day, probably enjoying banter as grown men do, there is a lot more to that Taylor response than meets the eye, i.e. it may not just be the mindless, non sensical, non provoked race reference it appears to be at first glance. I also object to the notion that racism is something white people do with regards to black people, as was also inferred in your earlier post, and which was what I pointed out when you claimed I missed your point. There is plenty of racism between other races, also towards the caucasian race. And finally I have a problem with the political correctness of it all, yes. To me, there is no subject so touchy that it couldn't be joked about in principle, as long as it doesn't cross certain borders like inciting violence. A lot of what we're seeing here is people being offended on behalf of others, who probably just laugh this non-incident off as any sane person would. Edit: That was a stupid response I just wrote. We're just coming from fundamentally different places on this that really aren't reconcilable here.

Maybe Republicans are unwittingly the solution to race relations.

You've missed the point.

Christ, man. He responded to jokes about not speaking French well by resorting to a joke based on blackness. He wouldn't respond to white players saying he doesn't defend well by joking about their whiteness.

So he posted that in response to jokes that he's bad at French. And his response is to make a jibe about them being black. I'm sure he's really just a dimwit, but nonetheless it plays off the notion that there's something undesirable about being black. Otherwise it's just a nonsensical observation about colors in response to a jibe.

It's the stupidest form of attempt at humor. They're black? No fucking shit.

I believe the appropriate term is "PC enthusiasm".

"Hey, you guys are black! HA!"

We needed a performance like this badly.

I AM ERECT!!!!!!

Pardew's milkshake brought jotenko to the yard.

I do not understand this feeling I'm feeling.

Players clearly not used to having chances.

But no, I still wouldn't move there.

Not much different than Baltimore, tbh.
