Am I the only one who finds the N word offensive anymore? - GoFuckYourself.com

emmanuelle · 06-08-2004, 06:23 AM

You know, I cant even type the word- It is filled with so much hate.

You guys who think you are cool throw it around like a fucking frisbee. Do you stop to consider just how many people here (and potential clients) that you risk offending? I know that it's 'cool' to be anti-pc, but guys, think about it. Thousands of people are watching your behaviour. Since the net offers limited avenues on which to form an opinion about a person, how you carry yourself should be of paramount importance.

you mean nigga ? my best friend is a nigga and i call him a nigga

slapass · 06-08-2004, 06:26 AM

It is good that this word looses its power. No one should be that offended by a word.

Grammar Police · 06-08-2004, 06:27 AM

What did you expect? A good number of us don't have any clients so people's opinions don't really mean shit to us.

I don't have anything against ******s though. In fact, I like ******s. I think everyone should own one.

Helix · 06-08-2004, 06:30 AM

I find it offensive as well, and I must say that the level of stupidity/immaturity on this board has far exceeded my level of tolerance as I find myself stopping by here less and less. It's too bad.
You sure can tell schools out.

This board has slid from being a great place to network for business to being a latchkey program for retards.

i'm done ranting now.

Nice to see that you've already planned your future in this industry...

See, I make my money from surfers. Other webmaster's opinions of me are irrelevant. I'll bet you wish you were me, don't you?

Not for a million dollars would I want to be a 20 year old kid again.....

llabtaem · 06-08-2004, 07:04 AM

Extremely offensive IMO

The word is going to end up becoming a "hahahaha"

EviLGuY · 06-08-2004, 07:05 AM

I am desensitized to it now.. at least online.

So you mean to tell me it's better to be a holier-than-thou asshole with a pretend niche program? Somehow I think I am happier being a 20 year old kid who LOVES ******S!

Grow up kiddo. Our program generates more in one day than you ever will in a year with that attitude.

Pretty funny. You'd better make sure you know who you're talking to before you make a claim like that!

Tam · 06-08-2004, 07:28 AM

I find it very offensive as well, so you aren't alone at all on it. I can't say it and I can't type it.

In fact, I just moved out of an all white county because of this racist shit, where the KKK still meets every Sunday. Racism makes me sick on so many levels.

I have no issue with friends calling each other "nigga", and don't ask me why, but that doesn't bother me......... but THAT word makes me crazy. I guess I just can't see my way around the hatred it implies....... and that's how this one is usually used, as a form of hatred, and it is just plain sad to me to see it thrown around like it is nothing.

Call me crazy too and put me on your crazy list, but I don't like it and I am offended by it as well.

NBDesign · 06-08-2004, 07:31 AM

all predjudice offends me...

People should be allowed to live THEIR life as anyone else and not get harrassed because of color, height, weight, sexual orientation etc...

That's just my opinion...

It's all the fucking idiots that throw the word around... most of which aren't making any money and have nothing to lose. It displeases me so to arrive at the board this morning and see it 100 times on the front page.

Why can't y'all just go back to posting some good XXX photos for fun instead of being dickheads? Then we would be thinking..

Cheers,

Brad

kowntafit · 06-08-2004, 08:29 AM

I think it's more the context in which it is used.

bizmak · 06-08-2004, 11:09 AM

i'm not fond of using that word

HeatherF · 06-08-2004, 11:19 AM

I agree with you emmanuelle it is a nasty word in my eyes....

Psytonic · 06-08-2004, 11:31 AM

I never use it myself, it's pretty nasty. Heard it way too many times over the last 24 hours

I hope more of the people that throw racist remarks around like they are no big deal read this thread. I got into an argument a few weeks back with someone who owns a webmaster program in his name and he refused to see beyond his own simpleton viewpoint that if it didn't seem offensive in his view, than it was fine to spout it out and anyone saying different was just being PC and encroaching on his freedom of speech.
