So if I can't see the post over there, does that mean I just got owned PG style? If any of you fuckers say yes, I am kicking your asses at Indy...

NtS, as bad as it is, that is pretty funny. I have tried to tone my language down and now just say nig-nog most of the time, but am trying to quit.

I still find topics regarding race interesting in that I don't understand the issue...perhaps 50-75 years ago it would make a difference...but these days i think most of us dont even see color or race...just people...
thats a step in the right direction, unfortunatly as long as everybody else still sees it you'll be subjected to it. One thing i cant stand is the issue of race and comedy. One of biggest reason racial stereotypes are perpetuated.

Vague, and not to their face doesn't make it any better. Or any less racist. Just food for thought.
I can admit it because im not a biggot, or a racist in any sense of the word. But i am a realist. the statistics showing the amount of crimes committed by black males against any other race is just enough to make me think twice about a shady character on the corner. You wear your seatbelt because crash statistics show its safer just like you lock your doors when rolling through the ghetto because statistics show that that demographic is prone to violence.

the "N" word is truly no different than many other names that are commonly used for other nationalities...

ex. Trailer trash - white folk
C***k - asian nationalities

and the list goes on and on...

the meaning of the word however changes depending on intentions...

as for this comment : you're a tool if you think its improper for me to use the term but we can play it on the radio and blast it in our cars driving down the street.

i feel i must agree...it becomes more than a double standard when others use it in a derogatory fashion but are offended when someone other than themselves uses it...

should any of these terms be used? no, they shouldnt, but they are nonetheless...

also remember...depending on whos using it and how it is said makes a huge difference...

as in "my n***a" versus "you n****r"...

my adopted family (PR/Doms) can use the one without repercussion, whereas I as a white person cant...again double standards, but anyway...

just a thought i had...
I'll disagree, but only to a certain extent. White people can take a thrashing with name calling because, well, we're white. Black people take their disdain for the word nigger from the centuries of oppression and degradation it represents. Just like the oriental are offended by gook because of American foreign policy after WWII (Korea, Vietnam, etc etc), just like Mexicans are offended by derogatory names because it symbolizes americans disdain for their culture and immigration, just like Irish americans are offended by names due to their plight and low social status beginning in the eary twentieth century through the great depression, just like middle easterners are offended by Americas rabid "anti terrorism(which translates to anybody Muslim, dark skinned, or with an accent)" point of view, and it goes on and on.

White, middle class folks like me have nothing on us. somebody calls me a cracker, or white trash, its just like eh, so what, at least im still white.

So are you suggesting that using racist terms like n***er are justified because of crime statistics? If that's what you're getting at, then please elaborate. Seriously, I'm just trying to get an understanding of what you're line of thinking is.

I think we have bigger problems than goofy combinations of grunts, moans, and wheezes... Words do not bother me. Then again, why would they... I'm a fat middle class white guy...

No, im saying that a lot of the negative stereotypes (often associated with the n word) about black people are only perpetuated by the abundance of statistics that surround their race. Yet very few find it offensive that media geared towards the black community, instead of trying to disassociate itself with these negative stereotypes, insists on feeding it.

osp has it right on. Words themselves carry no meaning, its the thought behind them that in lies the real message.

You know what makes me want to euthanize entire maternity wards?

'Disrespect'

"He disrespected me..."

Grow the fuck up. You're punkass probably disrespects 99.9% of the people you come into contact with, but for some fucking reason you are somehow entitled to extraordinary levels of respect just because you inhale O2 and exhale CO2.

Every time I hear someone freaking out about being disrespected I just want to slap the gold teeth out of their retarded faces.
