RIT Protest.. - Page 2

***VamPyroX*** · 04-02-2007, 10:09 PM

I know who led the protest.

He was interviewed by the news. First, he said that she had no right to speak that way. Then, he said that he believe in freedom of speech.

Boy, talk about contradiction!

Well, there's freedom of speech and slandering. There's two different things. It is one thing to openly criticize certain groups for their poor qualities but it is another thing to slander them by claiming they are doing something terrible which they haven't.

There's also freedom of speech and excessive badmouthing. Lisa Lampanelli, while making herself clear that she's an insult comic, stills crosses the excessiveness. It's not something that is seen as morally "okay".

Yet, he goes around slandering hearing people?

I really don't know who you're talking about though. I only know one girl who led this also: Noella Kolash.

Agreed. I think the protest should have never happened, period. It just shows how hypocritical some deaf people are.

And is it ok to have your arms up in the air bitching about Ms. Lampanelli when everybody stopped caring the very next day? It's silly, really.

Everyone that protested her comedy should have chosen to IGNORE her like I did. I mean, NO ONE forced them to protest an insult comic. The freedom to make choices was there all along. USE IT.

It's that simple.

That's immature and morally wrong since it is the hearing people who gave us everything we all enjoy in the real world.

The article says:

Quote:

"People who aren't familiar with her comedy, it's easy to get offended by it," McComb said. "She loves everybody. She's not hateful in her act. The reason she gets away with things like that, people know when you're hateful about it and it doesn't work."

However, it seems pretty hypocritical of the agent to try and defend this comic considering that she didn't know about the deaf students at RIT. It wasn't like she knew she had a deaf audience and was doing her act; she just made a bunch of insensitive comments not knowing it was really the wrong place to be doing that.

But I agree that freedom of speech applies here. What she said wasn't hate speech (which is not protected under the First Amendment); it was just obnoxious. Unfortunately, there's no legislating against jerks!

Ah, seems like this guy removed his name from the group after Campus Safety found out he was involved.

***VamPyroX*** · 04-03-2007, 11:01 PM

I heard that Lisa insulted a short deaf black guy during the show, everyone enjoyed it.

After reading what she had to say about Lisa and her views on Deaf Culture, she seems to be suffering some kind of "deaf psychosis".

One comment she said was that a deaf person doesn't really know what it's like to be deaf if they come from hearing parents. Now, that's pretty insulting!

Yiffzer · 04-04-2007, 01:52 AM

It's too easy to ignore Noella. I like confrontations once in a while. Gotta spice up my life.

I prefer to ignore deaftards. They aren't worth debating with because I know they will say something that makes them look like asshats. Example from October of 2006:

Deaftard: You know the government in America supports Marijunana as a drug?
Me: No they don't. Do you have evidence they support it?
Deaftard: No, I just know they do support it.
Me: Then how do you know they support it?"
Deaftard: The proof is in the Republicans.

And I walked away from her and her friends. See why I don't hang out with deaftards?

I didn't know anything about Noella until a few hours ago. That first post I made about Noella was a few minutes after I looked her up.

I didn't go to the show. I had a date, which was worth it. I've never gone to any concerts, shows, performances, or anything that they had hosted at RIT. I've heard about a lot of stand-up comedians, a lot of bands performing, a lot of random interesting stuff, etc, etc... but I've never gone to any of them.

From time to time, I will pick up on information regarding the outcome of the shows based on what I've read and heard... and they're often interesting.

Foxrac · 04-04-2007, 08:42 AM

It look like part of hate crime, when make fun of people that who is disability.

Also, that's not nice.

Trust me, your date was worth not going to the show from what I've read all over the net about the protest. Imagine you would feel if you were there witnessing the protest. I know I would feel embarrassed knowing that one or more of my friend were going to protest a performance.

thanikeprincess · 04-24-2007, 10:02 PM

let me clear things up- we did not have protest against lisa lampanelli AT ALL.

we had protest against CAB and RIT that who hired Lisa.

the reason why we did this... is
1. we pay student actvity fee
that fee pays lisa, i dont want to give any damn penny to lisa at all.

2. CAB lied to the students there were survey proving that many students want to have extreme shows on the campus- i did do my research work. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SURVEY.

all people who went to the show were 90% whites, few blacks, few deaf,and those type of people..

i dont see lisa insulting white people, she insults BLACK people the most. but few blacks went. it make sense to say "EVERYONE" enjoyed the show.

becareful what you say about the protesters.

Think maybe she said it on a radio show becasue she figured no deaf people would be listening to the radio so there would be no backlash?

So, you watched the show?

SnAzZyStyLe2002 · 05-13-2007, 01:53 AM

I laugh at Lisa's comments because she doesn't mean that way, you know.

If everyone takes that seriously, I quote Lisa Lampanelli's words, "If you can't take a joke, then simply leave the room." I'm bi, but I still laugh at her "insulting" gay jokes because, like I said before, they are just jokes and meant to be that way.

I pity those idiots that try to sue Lisa.
