12725071, $.02 Posted by bentagain, Wed Feb-11-15 02:19 PM
he just equated every black man's existence before his to a slave.
|
12725082, ??? Posted by Monkey Genius, Wed Feb-11-15 02:26 PM
He's saying when you don't know much about a subject of conversation, focus on one thing and master it. No matter how much of a non sequitur it is.
It's like responding to an in-depth sports conversation about the Bucs with how good Jordan was in '94, because all you know about is Jordan.
That's the joke.
|
12725099, RE: because all you know about is Jordan. Posted by bentagain, Wed Feb-11-15 02:37 PM
in this case Jordan being slavery to Steve's knowledge of history
I don't see how what I said was different
he said that would be his answer for any history discussion
there was an Africa/Moors before African American
he's making a joke/entertainig by being ignorant
which is what I'm assuming Bin is calling coonin'
you're calling mastery of a non-sequitur
$.02
|
12725113, I thought you thought he meant all black people in history were slaves. Posted by Monkey Genius, Wed Feb-11-15 02:45 PM
Which would've been a three question mark interpretation of that joke.
|
12725124, If you take the joking context out of it, couldn't it be interpreted that way? Posted by bentagain, Wed Feb-11-15 02:52 PM
I don't care what era of history you're talking about
that is what he said right?
and then...slavery
i.e., I don't care about anything that ever happened in history before my being because it's all slavery.
|
12725259, Nah, it's: Posted by Monkey Genius, Wed Feb-11-15 04:11 PM
'I don't have anything smart to say about _______________, so lemme change the subject to slavery because we can all agree on that.'
Non sequitur.
|
12725291, ah, got it. I guess I added on with the walking away = Posted by bentagain, Wed Feb-11-15 04:24 PM
being ignorant of any other existence

honestly this is the same Steve he's always been. He's a loud dude that's full of expression. He used to say "SHOW YA LOVE" on Apollo almost the same way except the jazz hands. That's where I think he goes a lil too far but honestly this is tame.

on the one end seems like a jab at US history in general i.e. anything pre-civil rights movement due to that fact that so much US history is tied to systemic racism.
On the other end it's a low hanging fruit/slavery is funny kinda joke.

12725596, Oh I get it now. At least I get the implication. Posted by Starks dunked on Bulls, Thu Feb-12-15 12:05 AM
Some feel this is cooning because Steve's joke supposedly implies that slavery is the only history black people know about it. I didn't get it at first because I kept envisioning the white lady saying that, so it didn't make sense.
*takes my L*
|
12725702, Why do you feel this is cooning? Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Thu Feb-12-15 10:09 AM
I thought it was just an unfunny joke at first, but one simple question changed my mind...
http://yourblackworld.net/2015/02/steve-harvey-said-dont-give-damn-holocaust/
What if Steve Harvey had said, “I don’t give a damn about the holocaust?”
The public has made its opinion heard loud and clear to the team of comedian Steve Harvey after he made some damning remarks about slavery. During a recent segment on his daytime talk show, Harvey stated that he “doesn’t give a damn about slavery.” The remarks were made as part of a joke about how Steve gets out of conversations where he doesn’t understand what the topic is all about. Some took offense that Steve was making the joke to a white woman because many African Americans must work hard to convince whites that slavery is an important topic. Feeling the heat from the reaction, the Harvey team disabled comments on the Youtube video and continued on with business as usual. But we were curious about a little experiment: What would happen if Steve had said “I don’t give a damn about the Jewish holocaust?” Jews are very powerful in the entertainment industry and are very protective of their history and culture. Even the remotest sign of minor disrespect is often met with a furious and powerful reaction. Many believe that Arsenio Hall had his hit show canceled years ago for inviting Min. Louis Farrakhan on the air and letting him speak. Also, Michael Jackson was punished for using one small Jewish slur in a song, even though he meant no harm. So, we wanted our readers to tell us what would have happened if Steve Harvey had upset the Jews the way he upset the African American community. Would the backlash have been any different? Some of the responses we got were pretty hilarious. Here’s some of what they said below. Feel free to chime in with your own responses:
