Sean's Slave / Race-Related Comments
Twiggyish | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 08:33 pm     Grooch said.."I also think that if MB is reading any of these Survivor boards, he is now editing all the film to get more racist remarks from Sean to get more people talking. I don't trust him." OH YEAH..you bet he is and I don't trust him, either. |
Tksoard | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 08:48 pm     Grooch, I love Combat Missions too!! I hate Scott Halverston!! I really liked Ozzie, and I'm going to miss him. This show is going to go fast now that the whole team is gone if they lose instead of ind. boots. I'm going to miss it and Rudy. I hope they have a CM 2. I'm just starting to figure out the guys names now, too!!  |
Whoami | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 09:13 pm     Pamy, your story reminds me of a neighbor I had. She was a very petite, very blond white woman. Her x-husband was black. Their son took after his father 100%. One day, the boy was throwing a temper tantrum (pounding the walls, screaming, etc) to the point that another neighbor called the police cause she thought the boy was being beaten sensless (it was a townhouse complex, you can hear lots when someone is punching the walls). Anyway, the police arrived, she told them what was going on, and they accepted her story/ But, they refused to leave until she produced documentation to prove he was indeed her son!! Man, that makes my blood boil even now, and that was over 10 years ago! Oh yea, and to get this thread back on topic, ummm....Sean....Survivor.....um. Gosh, where exactly were we? Seriously though, Sean seems to want to get special treatment because he's black. For example, I worked with a girl who worked for 10-15 minutes, then wandered around the floor visiting with her friends. When the supervisor tried to make her sit back down and work, she'd start screaming "your'e just reprimanding me cause I'm Black!" the supervisor would back off, cause he was scared to death to get a racial discrimination charge against him. Subsiquently, this girl did anything she wanted all day long, cause her methods worked! I see that same sort of attitude in Sean. |
Spygirl | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 10:06 pm     Totally off topic, but my curiosity is up. How was that woman's question in the grocery store offensive? I never assume that anyone who has a child with them is the parent of that child -- race completely irrelevant. I might have asked that same question. Can someone explain this to me so I'm not ignorant? |
Hippyt | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 10:37 pm     Egads,you people have gone crazy! Grooch,Combat Missions is a Man show. Spy,I have no clue half of my family are from Japan,it's a vitual rainbow when I take my kids and his cousins to the grocery store.They hold hands and form a line,blondes,redheads,brunettes,all dressed in the latest fashions. The people of Wal-Mart Love it,as well they should! |
Seamonkey | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 10:55 pm     Sean works in SOUTH CENTRAL LOS ANGELES, not in Harlem.. he's originally FROM Harlem, but he's not there now. |
Weinermr | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 11:09 pm     What is a Man show? |
Nanya | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 12:38 am     I luv this stuff. Sean is a lazy slob, trying to get over...black ...white or you name it. I'm starting to listen to some of the things you're saying and for some people, it seems to be cathartic. That's not all bad, as long as we remember its just another tv show.  |
Car54 | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 03:09 am     Weiner, I was wondering that too. I know about THE Man Show on Comedy Central. |
Grooch | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 04:11 am     Hippyt, what do you mean it's a man show? (wonders if that means Survivor is a women's show?) |
Julieboo | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 09:11 am     YUHURU I think you are right. I think I have been too angry and I shouldn't be...so I apologize to any of you whom I might have gotten too hyper with. (Yu, Whowhere, Square, Jvlle) I think I need to chill. I am going to try to not get so high strung in these Survivor threads. It's only TV, right? |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 10:15 am     Yay, Julieboo! I like Combat Missions, but it does bug me because it's a man's show. Maybe in 1970, the world was like that, but not now. |
Pamy | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 11:26 am     Spygirl....I suppose your right, maybe she was asking if he was mine since he was so good looking!!! haha Maybe I was the victim of uglism! Wow!! I didn't know Sean was a teacher in South Central! My old boss lived in both cities and she used to tell me how South Central/Watts was just like Harlem. Do you know what grade he teaches?

Weinermr | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 05:42 pm     What is a Man's show? What is a Woman's show? |
Angelnikki | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 06:02 pm     Pamy, to me that sounds like she was giving you a compliment but then again thats just how i see it |
Xxlt | Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 10:31 am     underdog..... to me it's better to try and reason before i go to war...the people you mentioned had valid points to make...but you have to take each example individually......yes everyone has to make their stand and get their message out but it always depends on how you do it.....here's a stupid example but i hope it makes my point..... here in so cal you can go to areas where graffitti is everywhere....not only is it ugly but stupid and irritating.....in the san fernando valley we have the 'worlds longest mural' it's painted on the side of a flood control channel and it tells a story.......compare the stupid 'gang moniker' graffitti to the people who decided to take their talents to another level, creatively and legally ......you'll admire a rose before you look at a tumbleweed. the basketball player that i mentioned had the perfect opportunity to spread his message by trying to educate people, maybe going on the talk circuit, starting a foundation, or by trying to change things like mandela, MLK, ghandi...they spoke to the masses and the masses listened and picked up the torch...Mauf suffered for what he believed in-lost everything, that sucks. it seems that the people who worked for change, like Cesar Chavez, Ghandi etc. did quite a bit of talking and tried to make a difference by approaching the problem using words. Could Mauf had made his point in another way? he had every right to do what he did during the anthem, but the scary part is there are some knuckleheads that are going to take offense. the difference between 15 minutes and having your name put into the history books is the approach to your cause, it seems that the people who were patient and willing to educate people about their beliefs were far more successful than the people who approached the change with reflex and impatience. won't go into the abortion issue, can 'o worms thanks to everyone else for the education and giving me the facts..... oops, i forgot.....SURVIVOR.....there i mentioned the show!!! 'nuff said. |
Moondance | Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 11:15 am     Good post X |
Gina8642 | Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 01:20 pm     I have to wonder how much Sean really is bringing race into it. How many times did he really mention race out there? Maybe MB/CBS managed to put every last comment he made regarding race into an episode. We can't know. Sean may appear to talk about race alot. We have no way of knowing if he did or not, because we weren't there 24hrs a day with him. And, even if he did, I'm not going to condem him for it. I did not grow up as a black man in the USA - so I wouldn't have a clue how often it comes to mind for him. Also, it seems to me that many of the times he has mentioned race, he was trying to be humerous. Why can't he joke around? I joke around about my ethnicity to friends. As far as I can remember, the diatribe at Gabe did not include racial comments. It was immediately after when he made the Roots theme music comment (which I took as an attempt at humor - whether it worked or not is up to the individual.) Also, how many "race comments" have been made to fellow tribe members, and how many just to the camera? |
