Aladinn:Mr. Man, I created a topic on freedom of speech and expression. Check out the topic to know where I stand. Insulting someone's mother or joking about LGBTQ is a fundamental human right. It's called freedom of speech and expression. Using Jesus or Muhammad to joke is a fundamental human right. The fact that snowflakes/liberals/SJWs/religious extremists throw tantrums and call for the crucifixion of those who say or joke about things they don't like doesn't make such human rights invalid. Ebiye meant no harm and was simply trying to catch some fun. Grow some thick skin and stop seeing offences where they don't exist. |

genq:If someone's joke about your skin colour makes you change your skin colour then you must have a low self esteem and the inability to think independently and maturely. Ebiye meant no harm, intended no racism or hatred, and was simply getting some fun. You can only get offended if you insist on being offended. |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Martinez39(m): 6:28pm On Jul 23, 2019 |
Deepfeel:Ogbeni, did Ebiye refer to Lupita as a black monkey? A harmless joke without any intention of hate became offensive because soft people took the luxury, afforded them by the easy times they live in, to be offended at inoffensive things. If someone called me a black monkey with racist intentions, I will simply ignore the person or call him a white monkey(if he is white). If it's simply said with no ill intentions, I will laugh it off and reply with a nick name. |

Ligxy:Lol. Even if he didn't mention any name, people would still be offended abi you are living on planet Neptune that you have forgotten that, thanks to our easy times, we have a generation of snowflakes who have the luxury of taking offence from inoffensive things? Ebiye meant no harm, he had no racist intentions and was simply catching some fun. If Lupita were my wife or sister, I wouldn't be offended. |

Martinez39: Don't mind them. I laughed so hard at the joke. And learnt of a new comedian Ebiye. Doesn't make me look down on beautiful Lupita. The whites now decide how black people REASON. So bad. |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Deepfeel(m): 8:24pm On Jul 23, 2019 |
Martinez39: The joke was more of a mockery to her black skin, like her dark skin is unattractive and dirty in a way that anyone who makes love to her will feel dirty People react to things differently people read meaning to things differently, a joke you might laugh off another person will pick offense and fight, but this particular joke is a sensitive one sensitive because that's exactly how racist white people paint their faces black anytime they want to make mockery of our black skin, we Africans are always preaching to those bleaching to be proud of their black skin, making a joke of someone who maintained her natural black skin is offensive, he should have made the joke in a positive way, like the darker the berries the sweeter the juice the darker the skin the deeper the roots, that sounds more positive |

Deepfeel:Hahahahahaha. This is a misrepresentation that your mind invented. There are no mockery and degradation anywhere. People react to things differently people read meaning to things differently, a joke you might laugh off another person will pick offense and fight, but this particular joke is a sensitive one sensitive because that's exactly how racist white people paint their faces black anytime they want to make mockery of our black skin, we Africans are always preaching to those bleaching to be proud of their black skin, making a joke of someone who maintained her natural black skin is offensive, he should have made the joke in a positive way, like the darker the berries the sweeter the juice the darker the skin the deeper the roots, that sounds more positiveOga, if someone's joke about your skin colour makes you change your skin colour then you must have a low self esteem and the inability to think independently and maturely. Ebiye meant no harm, intended no racism or hatred, and was simply getting some fun. You can only get offended if you insist on being offended. The fact that people react to things differently doesn't mean that it is right to vilify anyone who means no harm and is making use of their right. Intention and context are what should define racism not symbols. What if I justified Islamic terrorism and blamed critics of Islam because "people react differently, criticism of Islam is sensitive and they should have been more understanding"? |

Martinez39: Don't start an argument here, am only telling you why people reacted to that joke the way they did, it has nothing to with me, i live in a world of my own with my rules my beliefs my principles and my religion you saw their reaction didn't you? Just telling you that joke was a sensitive one, many people might interpret it like the example I gave previously, it's a joke yes , but he should have passed whatever message he was trying to pass in a way black people will be proud of their black skin , the massage was passed negatively I will say he lacks creativity |

Martinez39:if the joke was about u trust me u won't find it funny |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Martinez39(m): 9:15pm On Jul 23, 2019 |
natsuflame:If it were about me, trust me, I wouldn't be offended. |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Martinez39(m): 9:23pm On Jul 23, 2019 |
Deepfeel:@black This is the problem with you folks. If someone's joke about your skin colour makes you feel bad about your skin colour and makes you change your skin colour then you must have a low self esteem and the inability to think independently and maturely. Ebiye has no obligation to align himself with people's standard. If inoffensive things make you offended then either you toughen and grow up, or you remain a baby with a soft skin. No one owes it to you to please you and flow by your standards. @red Negatively? Well, I say it was harmless and positive. He was a bit creative. He can't please everyone. |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Deepfeel(m): 9:39pm On Jul 23, 2019 |
Martinez39: Very good many people got low self-esteem and get easily offended no doubt, If you say that guy has no obligation to align himself with people's standard then he shouldn't be a comedian in the first place, if his a comedian and gets paid by making people laugh then his under some type of obligation as a comedian to make people laugh, the people will tell him when his jokes are funny and will tell him when his jokes are dry and offensive that's just what those people who reacted just did, the guy is in the entertainment business People didn't find his joke funny and creative so he didn't do his job well a comedian who can't make people laugh is not a comedian at all |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Martinez39(m): 9:56pm On Jul 23, 2019 |
Duggedised12:Lol. The skin colour of the person telling the joke or making a statement is not important instead it is the intention and context that matters. Imagine if a 5 year old caucasian were friends with a 5 year old black and the caucasian smeared his entire face with black paint because, according to the caucasian, "he admires his friend's skin colour and wishes to be like him", would you call the caucasian kid a racist? Mr. Chukwudi used a black ink to mimic the Yoruba tribal mark out of the desire of contempt and hatred for the Yoruba race while Mr. Okonkwo did it for comedic purposes and, in addition, to star in a film. Who is the bigot and how do you judge the bigot? By the way ,what does too dark even mean? If your are black, you are black, you dont see white people making mockery of themselves for being too white,do you?There is racism in its boldness still going on around the world and for a black man to even have the nerve to tell another black person that they are too black is the stupidest joke ever. Like bro you are black to the white man, there is nothing like not too black in their dictionary. Lol. Black is black, no doubt, but if someone says "Mr. A is too dark", it should be understood by anyone with common sense. Beyonce and Lupita are blacks but Lupita is DARKER IN COMPLEXION. Who cares what the white man thinks and what is in his "dictionary"? |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Martinez39(m): 10:04pm On Jul 23, 2019 |
Deepfeel:He did his job and I laughed but people were too sensitive. If someone is funny and people decide to be sensitive and easily offended, what else do you want from that person? |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Deepfeel(m): 10:14pm On Jul 23, 2019 |
Martinez39:A comedian that gets 90% of his audience offended by a joke he believes will be funny, didn't do his job well a comedian studies his audience understands how their mind works and manipulates them with his jokes in a way they will laugh, |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Martinez39(m): 10:25pm On Jul 23, 2019 |
Deepfeel:No. A comedian's job is to tell jokes. The fact that the audience do not find a funny joke funny does not mean the comedian has failed. Ebiye shouldn't sink so low to please snowflakes that might even pick offense at the sun rays. |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Deepfeel(m): 10:33pm On Jul 23, 2019 |
Martinez39:Lol you can't be serious a comedian will do anything to make people Laugh that's their job, any comedian who gets booed and insulted for his jokes is a failed comedian, do you think the guy is happy with himself right now, every comedian finds joy in making people laugh |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by delishpot: 2:20am On Jul 24, 2019 |
Martinez39: I like how ignorant folks just quote shit to support their baseless theory. In that America, black face is seen as pure racist joke and nobody gives 2fucks about the intention of the black face wearer. Secondly, What right have you got to decide who is "too" black? Are you God's assistant to tell us who good accidentally added too much paint on their skin? Blacks are more racist and evil towards blacks yet we shed crocodile tears when people of other races talk shit about us. Everythibg is a joke to the typical black buffoon |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Martinez39(m): 2:45am On Jul 24, 2019 |
delishpot:Nobody gives a fvck about intention and a lot of people see "black face" as offensive, how is that my business? Are they the one to set the standards? In labeling people as racist, intention and context are what matters. Imagine if a 5 year old caucasian were friends with a 5 year old black and the caucasian smeared his entire face with black paint because, according to the caucasian, "he admires his friend's skin colour and wishes to be like him", would you call the caucasian kid a racist? If people insist that intention doesn't matter and they insist on being offended, that's their business. Secondly, What right have you got to decide who is "too" black? Are you God's assistant to tell us who good accidentally added too much paint on their skin? Blacks are more racist and evil towards blacks yet we shed crocodile tears when people of other races talk shit about us. Everythibg is a joke to the typical black buffoonNo one assumed the right to determine who is too black. Lupita and Beyonce are black women but Lupita is too dark in complexion. The meaning of that should be clear to anyone with an average IQ. If you insist on picking offence, that's your business. Everything is offensive and sensitive to the deplorable snowflake. |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Duggedised12(f): 6:21am On Jul 24, 2019 |
Martinez39:obviously you lack common sense for replying me with such lengthy rubbish. You are used to clowning around ,that you feel it is normal. But let me tell you, being stupid is not normal and i am glad people dont find it funny . Now the context and intention is mockery and ridicule stop feigning ignorance. This comedian is not a five year old but a full grown foolish adult who knows exactly what he is doing. If you have experienced racism before,this will hit different when its a black man bringing the foolery to you. Go on foreign forums and see what people with even Beyonce's type of skin are experiencing when it comes to racism,so where does that leave lupita,if a black man is the one to give her to the wolves just for jokes. If a white man is to follow suite and do same to her, it will racism, but you think its OK to mock her because its coming from a black man? I say again,you don't have sense if you still don't see the point everyone has been trying to make. |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Duggedised12(f): 6:42am On Jul 24, 2019 |
Deepfeel:you have said it all , cc Martinez39 this is the point everyone has been trying to pass. If you disrespect your wife or husband in the presence of your friends or family, they too will loose respect for your spouse. Lets respect ourselves if we want other races to respect us. The black face joke was a targeted at mocking blacks,a black man seeing it as a joke to mock a fellow black person for being too black shows we too are discriminating our own people. 1 Like |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Martinez39(m): 6:43am On Jul 24, 2019 |
Duggedised12:It's not lengthy rubbish, just say you can't reason properly and I would understand. The fact that a lot of individuals are snowflakes and too sensitive like you doesn't mean you are right. Number is not validity. Truth is not by democracy. Now the context and intention is mockery and ridicule stop feigning ignorance. This comedian is not a five year old but a full grown foolish adult who knows exactly what he is doing.Whether he is a five year old or a ninety five year old, the same still stands. Intention and context are all that matters. As long as he doesn't mean any harm or degradation, he should never be considered a racist. If you have experienced racism before,this will hit different when its a black man bringing the foolery to you. Go on other forums and see what people with even Beyonce's type of skin are experiencing when it comes to racism,so where does that leave lupita,if a black man is the one to give her to the wolves just for jokes. If a white man is to follow suite and do same to her, it will racism, but you think its OK to mock her because its coming from a black man?Everything is not racism. The fact that you have suffered racism should not make you lose your senses and brand as racism what is not racism. Whether it's a white man or a black man, intention and context are all that matters. No one was mocking anyone, Ebiye was simply catching some harmless fun. I say again,you don't have sense if you still don't see the point everyone has been trying to make.Majority is not validity. Truth is not a democracy. Grow up and toughen up jare. Good day, if you insist in being offended then there is nothing I can do. |

Him father.... See his ugly face and okpolo eyes Na people like him de make dark skin feel inferior even though Na very beautiful skin tone. If you know then you know. Dark skin rocks |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by bolayei: 6:49am On Jul 24, 2019 |
Martinez39: Your comprehension is good but your exposure is not. Any sort of discrimination, jokes based on someone's skin colour is racism. Stop coming across as a typical uneducated literate person and shut your gob |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Duggedised12(f): 6:58am On Jul 24, 2019 |
Martinez39:people have been killed for their skin color and you keep saying "snowflakes". Lol, seems you just heard the word somewhere and decided to run with it. Yeah, racist people catch fun too. But just because its coming from a black man ,its now harmless.Go and check what black face means and stop being ignorant. Wait you still insist his intention was not to ridicule? ![]() |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Duggedised12(f): 7:02am On Jul 24, 2019 |
bolayei:honestly i am exhausted trying to enlighten the guy. It is easier to cure the ignorance of an uneducated person than that of an ignorant literate . |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Martinez39(m): 7:08am On Jul 24, 2019 |
Duggedised12:There is no disrespect in Ebiye's joke except you insist on being offended. People should toughen and grow up instead of having everyone stooping so low and limiting themselves to what every Tom, Dick and Harry deems offensive and sensitive. A lot of muslim men find mini skirts and criticism of Islam offensive, should we ban women from wearing mini skirts and people from criticising Islam? If you say that this analogy is inappropriate because people have the right to wear whatever they want, I would ask if Ebiye doesn't have the right to make such jokes? |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Duggedised12(f): 7:19am On Jul 24, 2019 |
Martinez39:it doesnt even correlate. One is religious belief and the other is race. Racism is taking place both in Arab countries, Europe ,Asia, America both in countries where mini skirt is allowed or not. This shows you are very ignorant. Bye. |
Re: Comedian Ebiye Color-Shame Lupita Nyong'o, Blasted On Twitter by Martinez39(m): 7:20am On Jul 24, 2019 |
Duggedised12:Those who kill others for their skin colour are the real racists you are supposed to be fighting not Ebiye. Did Ebiye kill Lupita? Simple joke, you guys are losing it. ![]() Yeah, racist people catch fun too. But just because its coming from a black man ,its now harmless.Go and check what black face means and stop being ignorant.You keep making the very same mistake over and over again. Is anything wrong with you? Did I ever mention that Ebiye's skin colour is important here? Didn't I say repeatedly "it doesn't matter the skin colour... intention and context are all that matters" ? What the hell is wrong with you? ![]() Wait you still insist his intention was not to ridicule?Lol. If you and other snowflakes insist on being offended at everything, that's you guys' business. One thing I won't stand is spineless toddlers with adult bodies trying to limit other people's freedom of expression because of what they find offensive. Ebiye and I are not assh0les and we owe it to no one to please them. No one has the right to not be offended. |
