Is NEGRO considered offensive?

another nofx idiot

Ofcourse it's not as offensive as NIGG*R, but... I think Lyndon B. Johnson used the term "negro" when he was in office.

What, it's a legitimate question, fucktard.
Go back to your xbox

NIGG*R is the most powerful word in the english language.

Who keeps track? Changes weekly anyways.

I think it's one of those "If you have to ask" type situations.

Not here

negro means black in spanish...

Then there is negro spirituals etc etc etc... Ofcourse it depends what way it's used, but is it really THAT offensive?

pardon? got some beef you wish to settle with me?

imho, it all depends upon the area in which you are located.

if you say 'negro' in north america, you'll run into trouble fast

if you say 'negro' in south america, its socially accepted and not typically viewed as a derogatory term.

I think it would offend any African American if you said it to them... Unless you know them and can play around.

Another really powerful one is hahahaha. Women hate the word hahahaha.

I can only assume you were trying to say c-u-n-t, and yes, it's a great word.

oops... you were correct. Didn't know that was a banned word.

If you say negro in Mexico, people will think that you mean black. If you say N i i ger in mexico, they think that you are refering to an LA gangster.

negroid is funnier

No the word negro is not offensive - except to the little politically correct wimps that live in the "United States of the Offended" as a famous radio pundit puts it - of course theyres lots of things that are offensive to those idiots anyway - so doesnt surprise me one bit this is one of them

Btw - saw a great article on a school where instead of xmas trees - they are having "holiday trees" with decorations from all religious faiths LOL



Its all a bunch of BS to go along with making everybody feel good about themselves - sorta like the trophies they give the losing team at kids soccer tournies - "no one should have to feel like they are a loser" - bunch of loser parents raising them it sounds like

Must not be too offensive with the United Negro College Fund still in existence..

Blacks don't know what they want to be called. They take offense to anything.

That's funny I know what hahahaha is because I've tried to type hahahaha in here and it always come out as hahahaha.

It only offends me if someone is saying it in a really fucked up manner. Otherwise, someone just saying it describing a woman's hahahaha in general doesn't bother me.

its all how you use it...it can be offensive to some so it's better to just say black..its not like we ever use caucasian when referring to white peeps..

I think I'm more offended by what this idiot said then the actual post. "Blacks" isn't a race furthermore I'm sure "we" would like to be called our names.

Im offended that anyone in the US would have to ever think about what they were saying as offending anyone - that is just censorship and against everything we have ever stood for in the US. And all cause we dont want little Johnny to grow up getting hurt or called names - it might give him a complex that will last for his whole life - Get over it and live with the fact that not everyone is exactly the same - some people are just better at soccer than others - and some people study and learn better than others - what a fucking joke this generation has become

Very interesting book written by Prof. Randall Kennedy. Word use IS political. The act of choosing your words has political impact. Kennedy explores whether it SHOULD have that impact: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/037...books&v=glance

Why do I call myself a hahahahahaha, you ask me?
Well it's because motherfuckers want to blast me
And run me outa my neighborhood
They label me as a dope dealer
Yo! And say that I'm no good
But I can't find jobs so hahahahahahas wouldn't have to go out
Gave up some dope on the corner so they could show out
When the cops came, they gave a fake name
Because the life in the streets is just a head game
So therefore, to make more
A fifteen year old black kid will go and rob a liquor store
And get shot in the process
He ate up a nine bullet and now he's put to rest

A young brother who don't give a fuck about another

Why do I call myself a hahahahahaha, you ask me?
Because police always wanna harass me
Every time that I'm rollin
They swear up and down that the car was stolen

They throw the shit out my car on the concrete
In front of a residence
A million white motherfuckers on my back like I shot the President

Why do I call myself a hahahahahaha, you ask me?
Because my mouth is so mother fuckin nasty
Bitch this, bitch that

In the mean while my pockets are gettin fat

Makin more in a week than a doctor makes in a year
So, why not call myself a hahahahahaha?
It's better than pulling the trigger and goin up the river
And don't I get called a hahahahahaha anyway?
Booked as a motherfucker and locked away
So... so, cut out all that bull shit
Yo! I guess I'll be a nigga for life

But, cracker say hahahahahaha not to fuck up
But I got to be a fast hahahahahaha
Not to be the last hahahahahaha
Or I have to beat your ass, hahahahahaha
In the city you see action first
Then hear about it later
In a verse I curse
Because I [?] with this to keep my shit straight bumpin'
Murder created by the streets of Compton
I get it from the underground poet
I live it, I see it, and I write it
Because I know it
And if you think I'm fucking your wife
Your mother fuckin' right
Yo! Because I'm a hahahahahaha for Life

hahahahahaha, this

The actual fact is that I'm black
And bound to attract
The attention of another
I mean the other
But I'm a mother fucker that'll have them running for cover
You see, I don't give a fuck about nothing
Except getting paid, getting bitches, and [?] with stitches
Which is all needed to read it and find a rhyme
And then it's time to say
The hahahahahaha's here to stay
But what about the fake hahahahahahas, the house hahahahahahas
To get paid quick they gotta suck a fat dick
But NWA is outta your mother fuckin' range
We ain't gonna change a mother fuckin' thing

I call myself a hahahahahaha 'cause my skin won't whiten
I call myself a hahahahahaha 'cause the shit that I'm writing
Hypes me, hypes other mother fuckers around me
And that's the reason why they want to surround me
And ask me: why do I call myself a hahahahahaha-o
Ain't none of their fuckin' business 'cause I'll let the trigger go
So get out of my presence, and get out of my sight
'Cause MC Ren is a hahahahahaha for Life

You're a hahahahahaha 'til you die
If you're a poor hahahahahaha, then you're a poor hahahahahaha
If you're a rich hahahahahaha, you're a rich hahahahahaha

not sure there, but here depends the tone you use. can be despective or not. Also depends on de persones, some consider it offensive and some not.

Depends which negro. Some of them are offensive, some of them are not.

Words by themselves arent offensive ( or shouldn't be ) , how they are used can be offensive regardless of the words..

If i said " get out of my store you watermelon eating, wife beating, crack smokin, cotton slave "

would probably be twice as offensive as me saying " the negroes in this area seem to smoke newports "

Your not going to ban the word "watermelon " or "crack smoker" so its not going to help anything at all. If anything it will hurt the situation by making people pick actual insults instead of bland catch all racist words..

I never feel myself offended when somebody calls me "hahahahahaha"

but considering I'm white makes my opinion valueless

who called my brother?

I just ate some negros for lunch.

negro is very 1950's-1960's. there are other terms so you don't sound so square.

Square is so 1960's-1970's. There are other terms so you don't sound so unhip.

(someone want to continue?)

I have the feeling that the thread starter made a TYPO .... did he mean neCro .... fucking the dead?

well do you find the name "midget" offensive?
