[QUOTE="Speedyd718, post: 846171, member: 554898"] man i sat here and read every post because i'm into the whole race thing i've taken quite a few black history courses. i feel sorry for those that have skewed beliefs of another's race based on small events. i'm african american and i've had a lot done towards me by whites(been called a n!**er at a JV football game back at home in cleveland we beat the sh!t outta them but it was still wrong). it's all in the principle the word is said, i know some white guys that i wouldn't care if they said the n-word because i know its not in a hateful way. it's all in the content of what you're sayin. we say it to each other as a way to talk to one another like no else can. similar to women friend who can call each other b!*ches and stuff and don't get mad. it's cause u know it's not in a hateful way. but don't listen to these old fogie blacks that act like the n-word is just our generation that stuff started with our parents. i know plenty of older blacks that say it. and it's all in the older black movies from the 60's and 70's. but to cover a couple things i saw. first we prefer african american because that's our heritage just as some one would want to you to know they are irish-american. difference is that we don't know the countries of our ancestors because of the lack of records. so all we have to claim africa (the whole continent). and on the slave thing, we complain because sure in africa blacks kept blacks as slaves but not in the same sense that it was when we were brought here. slaves in africa wasn't to beat, ****, or demean anyone. it was apart of the culture their you weren't treated any different like they weren't human, or not allowed to learn. but when it came here it got all f**ked up. and you better believe there is a double standard today BUT. before we could have our own movies there were stereotypical sh!t that happened years ago (or does no one remember sambo and black face white actors). or even the f**kin little rascals and the black kid is named buckwheat because of his hair and he the only mutha f**cka that can't talk straight (ooohh tay). but lemme calm down. i wished that everyone would open there eyes and see things from our perspective sometimes, it's pretty rough being the minority. opportunities and life in general isn't they same. do some research because everything that you "learned" in school ain't what it is. sorry for the long post guys i just had to get that out.
