Hey Dallas guy... are you sure you're black?

GODDAMMIT, I hate these fucking racist threads! We have more than enough shit being thrown at us because we are adult webmasters! We don't need any of this shit!

At least one good thing came out of this thread though ......

Bump! Bump! Bump! Another fucking racist bites the dust!

I cant see the difference.

boobmaster prove your sainthood.

LOL! I'm sure!!

That could be a much longer and more serious conversation if we had the proper characters online right now.

Dude, I asked a question! That's it! Nothing more....nothing less! Chilout!!

You got it right nigga :P

BAH! Sorry dougeetx, but anyone darker than my cracker ass is just another spear chucker to me. *ducking* and very much kidding!

LOL, I've often wondered the same thing as you asked in your thread starting post. I understand there are many underlying issues but I really feel that many of those issues are caused by either mis-information or dis-information that has been propagated over time. Without launching into a lengthy debate on the facts of history, et. al. I'll just say that much of the information being spewed by many is pure bullshit.
Bottom line: Words are only as powerful as they that hear/read them and allow them said power.

While it is a disparaging term derived from Negro, it's origins are very questionable and most likely not from anything that happened in the United States of America. If memory serves, and many times it doesn't, it came from the misinterpretation of what African slave traders were saying to the European traders that landed on their shores buying people for use in the slave trade.
The USA gets beat up on a daily basis for being the originators of slave trade. Guess what, we've only been a country for um... 383 years (and that's only if you count the landing at Plymouth Rock in 1620). Slavery was well in force long before this time.
The trade is well documented dating back to the ancient Egyptians that made it a practice of enslaving their very own people. The African people have a Huge history of slave trade on one level or another for at least one thousand years and it continues today. The Asian people have a penchant for selling their women into slavery, as do the russians and anyone else that has participated in "indentured servitude". The USA merely got slammed the hardest because our open media format and free speach rules of government allowed it to be talked about on an open forum.

I know I kind of drifted from topic here by talking about the actual issues of the usage of a single word, but at the same time I have to ask folks this: Do Italian born or Irish born or Asian born people make it a complete and utter grandstand display of disdain when someone says the terms "wopp", "mic" or "slope"? These people are also major victims of slavery (or have you not noticed the trains spanning this continent and the rest of Europe?) They may take it harshly, but they also know that that is merely part of life. People are idiots, so to speak. People of African heritage seem to feel singled out here, and in some ways yes, their hardships were very ugly - I give them that bit of credit.

But, people of African heritage also tend to slander their own credibility by calling each other, in jest or not, terms like "nigga" (which IMHO is nothing more than a cop-out way of calling a friend a ******). "Nigga" or "Niggah", to my knowledge, has no base in any language other than English slang; it wouldn't seem to have come from any African language, according to the OED or any other comprehensive dictionary on languages.

dougeetx, while I think these terms are what keeps our races verbally segregated, you can call me honkey and cracker any time you want. It's a commeraderie thing, and in this case a show of friendship. :D

Peace out, you <insert racial slang for fun here>'s.

Does that mean you don't want to be my butt bitch?

What a putz you are! Too fucking funny! Just because a catholic priest might have taken you over the alter when you were a lad doesn't give you the right to be a prick.

See a therapist. You need one!

Only if I can slap it up, flip it, and rub it down! Oh yeah!!

My problem isn't with you!

Thanks for your information and knowledge! I really appreciate it!

Work it nigga!

keep dancing.

i like the way you move.

Ok!! Ok!! Now, let's just look at this beautiful Latina woman and break off the harsh feelings!!






And on that note, I will say goodnight! It's almost 4am here and I need some beauty sleep!

Gutterboy

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...114338#2114338

You are an idiot! A funny one though!

But you're actually funny and have some interesting posts!

this coming from the oxymoro0n of the day children.

an adult christian webmaster.

his god gave his life so he could think about cumming on girls faces.

people like this redneck are the reason christianity is a joke.

he doesnt even know how ignorant he is, thats how blessed he is!

hashahaha

liar...black people never have nothing good to say,except pass the blunt

Man, you get STUPIDER ever time you post. I asked you to point out were I ever said I was a christian. You never replied bescuse you can't find it. Because it was never said. I'm starting to wonder if you can read at all!

Some of 'em don't even do that. Niggas can't count. Puff puff pass. How many puffs is in that? Two. But when a nigga counts it's more like 4 then pass. I can't stand niggas. I only like black people.

Yes but you WANT me to ignore you -- so I won't, just to piss you off!

andi:



Another damned whitey here who agrees with ya! At least you replied with some sense - more than the load of white trash so far.... excluding Fletch XXX of course!!

doesnt make me a fuckin difference anyways...******

See what I mean? ..... funny posts!

LOL! THis thread is funny shit.. check out my sig you haters..

Media

Its all about the tone of how you say it.

There's ****** and there's ****** and they have 2 distinctly different meanings.

Funny shit, I had a black dude, with a case of road rage, who I had cut in front of on Hwy 1 recently, zoom past me and he called me a fucking ****** and I'm white so go figure. In today's world I don't think it is referrencing the black race anymore. Its gone beyond that.

lol.

There are some serious GFY n00bs in this thread.

here's the deal... many people may not agree... but a large portion of the back people use the term "******" among themselfs in this day in time... I would say that 10 years ago.. the word "******" would have been a racist term for sure... but now the meaning is deluted..

Now being white, I'm not going to go up to a black guy and call him a "******" now that would be racist.. but if it's a back guy I hang with then it would be ok to say "hey what's up my nigga"

But you can't take a word and allow one group of people to use it, and it's ok.. but if another group of people use the same word..then say it racist...
What you can say is racist is how the word is used...

refer to Tokyo Breakfast

*bump*

YOU as a person not a whole group,just becasue some Blacks says 'nigga' doesn't make it cool.....i for one rarely use it...and when i do it's foe anyone

******-is someone who's ignorant so that applies to anyone...

what's more funny is that when someone say's '******' ppl assume they're racist cause they think they are reffering to someone who's Black

to each it's own..say what you want,raise yo hand to me,i'll put you on yo ass and stomp the shit ouuta you....

'****** ****** ****** ****** ****** ****** please - ya treat it like a fucking disease.'

The word Nigga has become a part of everyday vernacular. I think what's important is to look at the motiviation or context in which the word is used. To say that you don't recognize differences in people of a different race is unrealistic. That being said, I think treating someone differently (not giving them the same chance of being a friend, proving their worth to you as a fellow human, etc) because of their ethinicity is wrong. If you are intolerant to people because their a different color, or have a different background as you then you are the only one who is being sold short, by yourself.

I say it's a word.
Society says it's an insult.

There are racial differences. For example, black men have a strong tendancy for darker skin. It does not make me a racist for acknowleging this difference. Black men have a higher suseptability to sickle cell anemia, too. Do you want the medical community to ignore that fact in the spirit of political correctness?

I'd be a racist if I said "Those darkies sure are stupid." The difference is that I'm then judging their worth based on their skin tone.

******

Honky!

Pale Peach!

Cracker!

Casper!

White Devil!

We have many more that we can use. So, if that was your best shot, it was weak!! Now, to my new compadres out there that are "pigmently handicapped", much love to you still!

You convinced me... I'm in!

Used as a disparaging term for a Black person: ?You can only be destroyed by believing that you really are what the white world calls a ******? (James Baldwin).
Used as a disparaging term for a member of any dark-skinned people.
Used as a disparaging term for a member of any socially, economically, or politically deprived group of people: ?Gun owners are the new ******s... of society? (John Aquilino).

I own many guns, i must be a ****** too! WHOOO!

I have an opinion on this if you would like to hear it.

I think both races should put the term away for good and try to concentrate on getting rid of stereotypes.

It bother's me that blacks can call each other ****** all day long but a white man saying it gets beat up. I would understand that, if they didn't call white people "cracker", and many other names that are not racially blind.

They (Not all) talk all day about racism, (and mostly the only ones who do) but are very prejudice against whites.

I tried to date a black gal once down in New Orleans and got beat up by her family. Prejudice goes both ways.

You are younger than 30. Try going up to any black man over 30 and call him a ******, and see how far in the ground you just put yourself.

Sure, in your tiny circle of young pups it may be ok. Just be careful when you get out of high school. (J/K) You may find out it's not so acceptable still yet.

I do agree with you that that is how it should be for the most part. I would be happier if everyone quit thinking of skin color as a reasonable judge of character though.
