why get so **** offended when many black people use the word in their daily conversations? (maybe not as often but still)

not only do i hear black people use it, i hear the entire hip hop culture use it. my gf's brothers and sisters use it constantly and they're chicano.

this would be valid, had roles been reversed for this past 400+ years. However, the word you used doesn't have any history behind it. for that reason, you are comparing apples to oranges.

whats your point?

tell me you aren't you serious..

except for the booming bass part, yes i am quite serious. Is there anything wrong with that? Or are you one of the people that agrees we should frown upon people that say "God" in a public place?

it's impossible to argue with someone who places such importance on a single word. i personally don't use the word, more because my daughter is black than that i have a problem with the word. black people sure give others alot of power over themeselves when they get so upset over the use of an outdated word that they continue to use themselves.

I understand how you might think that, but as i stated earlier in this thread, I'm unaffected. I've got a party i'm going to at 3pm, and until then i'm just wasting time...
as for your last point, I refer you to this post where i addressed that issue.

i understand your point, i just think that you're in the minority when it comes to emotional attachment to that word. it's not just the use of that word either. i watched an hour show last night comparing the noose being hung on a teachers door to lynchings on black people. what a bunch of a-holes!! they (meaning the touchy feely media) are marginalizing the terrible things that black people actually went through earlier in this century. it's this kind of thing that ruins our perspective on how bad things used to be.

White people usually use the word ****** to described their hatred of black people.

Black people use it (although in ignorance) as both a greeting and as a description of a person that they would rather not be around.

look at this, and then look at this or this (the second article's length is deceptive, as it is inclusive of other uses of the word cracker as seen on the disambiguation page).
thats my point.

except for the booming bass part, yes i am quite serious. Is there anything wrong with that? Or are you one of the people that agrees we should frown upon people that say "God" in a public place?

On the contrary... my political views would be termed by most as extremely conservative, though I have some liberal leanings (i favor legalization of drugs, i could care less about gay marriage, and though i myself am pro-life i don't oppose abortion within certain constraints.).
I actually agree with teachers having more latitude to discipline students or at LEAST send the troublesome students to alternative schools better equipped to handle them. I also believe that there is an attempt to remove religion from various aspects of life and government based on a principle (separation of church and state) which is not explicitly stated in the constitution. While i am not a strict interpretationalist (is that even a word? lol), it seems to be a big and unfounded logical leap...

so what your saying is if im black i can say n*igger all i want because its differant then if i say it when im white...?

yes, if you were black i would be more comfortable with you saying it, although i'd prefer that you didn't. I'd prefer that no one said it.

what about Michale Jackson? Can he pull the N-word without being called racist or has he gone to far to the other side?

lol... this is an interesting hypothetical, because though he was born black he seems to have some self-hatred directed towards black people or perhaps just his blackness in particular... If i'm correct in that assumption i would be more comfortable with with a white person who is neutral on the topic saying the n word than jackson.
ain't that something?

I very well may be in the minority... While i can understand to an extent how certain symbols could be offensive, I think that people often fail to assume good faith and are too quick to take up arms...

x10

My ole ladys uncle looks almost identical to him and he is the most country man I know. I was not surprised either.

Just gets blown up b.c all the black people *****ed b/c they used the word negro for slaves.

Honestly we go to work everyday and pay the bills to sleep eat and have a roof...

When you think of slavery you think of a white man standing over a black man whipping him as he works. That is BS, why in the hell would you want to beat one of your men working for you? Then he wouldnt be able to get stuff done as quick after he was hurt. So back in the day instead of them saying, this black man works for me, they said I own this black man.. They may have lost some of there freedom after 5 oclock, but it was not as bad as it is blown up to be.

SO ****ING BLOWN UP.. start flaming but its the truth

So let me get this straight. Where you a slave? Was i ever a slave-owner? Im going to say that the answer to both of those questions is No. So why the fck does it matter? I dont see jews btching about what happened in their past and raising hell when they are called names. I dont see the ancestors from the first irish and chinese settlers that moved her who could very well be considered slaves. The only people that i see complaining, is the black community, which none of them lived through slavery, yet they still want something for what their ancestors were forced into. Why should i have to cater to you, when I didnt personally do anything?

Now, if you were a slave, then sure, i could understand your point of view. But to me it sounds like the modern black community is simply trying to get something for nothing, and btch about things to make it seem like everyone is out to get you.
