Admin, Please censure OklahomaTuba

[soonernija]

I find his signature offensive and I am sure 60% of OUr players, who by the way are African Americans, do too. We keep screaming that African Americans should “do the right thing” and when they do—when they go to the best schools in our country (Harvard and Columbia); stay married to their first wives; love their children and immediate family members; and attain the highest office in our country, we go ahead to castigate them as interns holding their first jobs.

This is not a political board and I think it is wrong for anybody to push their ideological views on this board. I am sure a similar signature pushing misinformation about Sarah Palin will be offensive to some people on this board and would probably not be condoned.

His signature

Less than fifty years ago, African-Americans were barred from public universities, restaurants, and even drinking fountains in many parts of the country. On Tuesday we came together and transcended that shameful legacy, electing an African-American to the country's top job -- which, in fact, appears to be his first actual job.

My response

Hey Tuba: We are not interested in your political quote. This is a football board. Please take your politicking somewhere else. It's ok for you to disagree with our president-elect but it is absolutely ignorant and downright annoying for you to claim that the presidency is the first job of an 11-year University of Chicago professor (UC is much better ranked (academically) than OU, by the way), an 8-year Illinois state senator, and a 4-year US senator.

You may have issues about the fact that he is African American, but please don't tag the rest of us on this board with your ignorance by claiming that the presidency is his first job. I enjoyed my time at OU but I also know that my doctorate is less impressive because people like you keep devaluing OU and everything it stands for.

Please take this bile off OUr board.

[SoonerPriv]

jeez dude.. chill out.. turn OFF signatures if it offends you so much.. I can't believe you made a thread about this.

[85sooners]

:rolleyes:

[OKLA21FAN]

and you posted this on the FOOTBALL board?


the duality of it all :gary:

[1890MilesToNorman]

Censorship???? He has the right to have any sig he wants, don't read it if it pisses you off. Move on!

[budbarrybob]

stupid thread...

[My Opinion Matters]

You're obviously new. The signature is probably the least offensive thing about Tuba.

[SoonerTroll]

:pop:

[colleyvillesooner]

Just to be clear. After a year of mostly positive experience, in which I had decided to become an Elite Sponsor, I started the Hollis Board, I had a 46,000 spek rating based on real spek not betting over two season and 1500 posts, in the last four weeks I can see this bri is a person I don't want to be around or patronize. There are two other posters which I believe have at least equivalent football knowledge without the abusive environment. I am taking my business elsewhere.

John W. Helander
President & CEO
GrayBox Services Ltd. &
eState Auction House Ltd.

Tuba didn't even write that.

[soonernija]

jeez dude.. chill out.. turn OFF signatures if it offends you so much.. I can't believe you made a thread about this.

I made a thread about this because it is my life. I come to this board to discuss OU football (my only link to my alma mater) and find it annoying that we condone this overt ideology-driven crap. I am an African American college professor at one of the best schools in the country. I went to OU on a full academic scholarship and find it unsettling to think that seven years from now someone could say that i have never had a "real job" because i was just a college professor.

OU football exists because of OU professors! Signature like OklahomaTuba's denigrates us!

[SouthFortySooner]

What is this signature thing you are referrring to? Board clutterer. :cool:

[Breadburner]

Have we not heard enough crying from Texas fans.....

[tommieharris91]

Please move this thread to the South Oval.

[soonerboomer93]

This will not end well...

Can you please press the pause button for atleast a couple weeks on this. We already have the entertainment from horn meltdown as it is. This promises to be atleast somewhat entertaining for a slow week.

Way to perpetuate the stereotype that all of us liberals are nothing more then whinny, pussified bitches who cant take a joke. I don't agree with what he says, but its a message board....just chill. We WON the election...no need to get caught up in petty fights on the internets.

The biggest issue is HE IS TEACHING OUR KIDS!

South Oval please?

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Give the guy a break. He only has 187 posts. Maybe he doesn't know all of the board nuances and culture.

[C&CDean]

This thread cracks me up. I'll move it where it belongs, but it says so much about our world.

I'm sure that would be just fine by you right?

what's weird is I remember it being fully red before he made the first comment about this in the other thread.

[Howzit]

Too bad. A ninja perfessor would be, like, uber cool. You'd probably need a doctorate in throwing those star thingys, though.

[1890MilesToNorman]

I teach your kids thermodynamics: do you want to pull him/them out of my class because i am too libruh?

Yes! and I would demand a full refund for the class! :D

[MrJimBeam]

I'd me more worried you'd censure my son/daughter for saying something that might offend you. Censure them with an F.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

I'm gonna change my name, too.

SOONERNORTHCANADIAN

Howzit's lack of a signature offends me.

[HappyClappyMackBrown]

Thermodynamics? Sounds like some of that communist engineering talk to me.

[SoonerInKCMO]

I can't decide if all this talk of 'censorship' annoys or amuses me. Y'all do realize that the OP wrote 'censure', right? And you do know that 'censor' and 'censure' are different words with different meanings, right?

If VH1 ran an hour long special called "20 Stupidest Non-Celebrity Threads" this would be number one.

Oh My God, SoonerInKCMO, It never occurred to me that my audience would think censure = censor. That explains it.

Yep, it's a football board.

Oh and also:

In other words take away his right to say what he has to say.

More evidence that in the years ahead, political dissent will only be allowed when it comes from the left.

I went to OU... so the answer to your question is no...

A public reprimand would be funny though.

[1890MilesToNorman]

Johnny come lately, this started in another thread and in post #1 of this thread he refers to Tuba's signature as bile and wants it removed. Keep up boys!!!

[Veritas]

If you're referring to his "Please take this bile off OUr board." statement at the end of the original post, that appears to be directed to Tuba himself and not to the HMFIC. <> censorship.

The only thing worse than signatures is the people who write their name under their post.

I have signatures turned off because I have the amazing ability to read the person's name next to the post, I don't need you signing your post.

Admin, please censure whoever writes in their name after their post.

What'd you win? That's what I don't really, truly understand - how people can get so worked up over one party "winning" the election. Unless you're Mr. or Mrs. Obama or one of the kids, your life is probably not going to improve that much over the next four or eight years. I'm thinking of the lady who claimed a vote for Obama would mean he'd pay her mortgage and fill up her gas tank. People can be funny sometimes in that regard.
