Do you think it is ok to use the word *****.

[SLOWLYbtngU]

I hate how people say "Us blacks use the word because we went threw hard times and slavery thats why we get to use it and you whites dont"

you haven't picked one piece of cotton in your entire life get over it

Lol. Sorry but if that is their excuse then they are just as ignorant as the word implies.

[Dirty Octopus™]

R U f'n serious! look at the state you live in, or the one next to you Alabama, did you ever take any history classes?

and I dont care if it ends in an A or an ER its still derogatory to me.

sometimes i am
sometimes im not
i got bigger dolphins to fry, than worry myself about an age old word as that.

Because Black people want to use the word freely and then get mad when others use it....We are the only race that degrade ourselves and find it acceptable....But you want to get mad when a white person uses said word...

and btw by saying you, I'm not meaning you personally.

i could careless who uses it! just dont beef with me.

hell.. if it makes you feel any better. i use the word Cracka just as much!
now dont get me wrong.

i LOOOOOVVVVEEEEE me some Cracka n¡ggas. but shit. they're just words.

[SLOWLYbtngU]

Was it this supposed to mean?...Some kind of insult?

lol...no.

He is random.

[BobbyFresco]

Not ALL black ppl get mad........

A good majority do....and if you use the word and then get mad when others do, that's hypocritical.....

[Dirty Octopus™]

Was it this supposed to mean?...Some kind of insult?

is n¡gger meant to be an insult?

[Killer]

oh and if a ****** can call me cracka or cracker i don't see why i can't call him ******...

considering racism works both ways and all...

[MrsDirtyOc™]

I dont use the word

i was referring to picking cotton but whatver.....

[blackshine007]

I hate how people say "Us blacks use the word because we went threw hard times and slavery thats why we get to use it and you whites dont"

you haven't picked one piece of cotton in your entire life get over it

Great point. I think those particular black people are retarded. I pay those no attention

[MrsDirtyOc™]

A good majority do....and if you use the word and then get mad when others do, that's hypocritical.....

this is true that is y I dont get mad......

[Shawna]

long story short....

I was hired at a company a while back in which 2 out of 5 girls were white (me being one) the other 3 were black. I sat with 2 of the black girls seperated from the rest of the company( I had no problem with this I get along with everyone) I was called names and made fun of b/c i was white and came from a good family. Joking is all good and fun but they were being serious. They cause a lot of confrontations with me and got in my face often and would lie about me doing the work and taking credit for themselves. I would walk away from they yelling and would get introuble for it b/c they turned the story around. One girl had 3 written warnings and was told she would get fired the next time....the next time I got fired b/c she threatened them by saying if she was fired she would sue them for firing her b/c she was black


sorry I am trying to choose my words carefully so I dont offend anyone

[SLOWLYbtngU]

Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. Ignorance is sometimes misinterpreted as a synonym of stupidity, and is as thus often taken as an insult.

I never said that I would get irate, nor did I say I would resort to violence. I'm a peaceful person. You can talk to anyone and get your point across in a calm manner. I truely believe in that. I'm gonna voice my opinion whether you like it or not. I'm no push over either. I ask for respect. The least you can do is respect my wishes. If not, who knows, I might have to resort to violence; chin checkin'

LOL!!!!

Cute sweetie, but did you at least read where I wrote IF you got to a point of irritation that you DID hit someone...THEN wouldnt you be as ignorant as the word's meaning?

[Killer]

this is true that is y I dont get mad......

LOL your avatar rocks!!!!

[1000cckiller]

I understand all points, but the term ***** started pretty much in the hood, and has been spread around like a business card. Atlhough blacks do say a lot, doesnt make it right no matter what race you are. Some blacks say it to acknowledge each other, and it is a term that needs to be removed, to me to help us better ourselves.

you're just racist. but whatever.

Nah man it's dead.

Just read this article:

[BobbyFresco]

Look, it is like females using the word bitch to one another. A guy says it to us and we flip the fuck out. A girl says it to us in a playful manner we laugh that shit off. Then another girl comes adn says it in a ill manner and we are ready to beat a bitch up. So we shouldnt use the word bitch either right?

I understand what you're saying...But at the end of the day it is still a double standard....

The word n i g g e r doesn't affect me because it's just that...a word...Not to mention the fact that you'd think after all this time, racists and prejudice people would find a more creative way to insult someone.....

My thing is that you can't expect others not to say a particular word when it's part of your every day vernacular....plain and simple.

At that point, it all boils down to respect. That's like we all up at the V and you start sitting on my hood and don't know me. I ask you to get up and you do, and go sit right in my driver's seat. Not having respect for me is the point I'm trying to poke you with.

Gotta love when people play the race card. That sucks babe, and I am sorry you had to go through that.

Thanks

[BobbyFresco]

is n¡gger meant to be an insult?

Yes, I would say so....

[Dirty Octopus™]

Yes, I would say so....

coming from you to me or any other Afican Merican?

[Killer]

you're just racist. but whatever.

yeah, you are talking racism....

people have stated the fact that some/most black people are offended when a white person says n igga or n igger...

why? "because it's racist"

I am sorry that you had to endure all that BS....Not something that anyone should go through......Hopefully you won't base your opinion on a group of ppl based on the actions of a few....

okay.
im not talking racism.
so dont tell me what im talking about.
im not talking racism
you may be.
but im not.
i dont talk racism
cuz im not racist.

[BobbyFresco]

coming from you to me or any other Afican Merican?

I would find it offensive regardless of where it came from..The word shouldn't be used by anyone considering it is supposed to be a huge source of shame, guilt ,and sadness to many generations of Black ppl...

Why would you use a word that civil rights leaders fought against.....?

[Dirty Octopus™]

dude...
i soooo sayd

/thread ages ago

why is everyone still lingering around?

[SLOWLYbtngU]

I understand what you're saying...But at the end of the day it is still a double standard....

Thank you! At some point in this thread something must have turned because this is exactly what I am saying. I am Puerto Rican and I have friends that are from other Latin American countries. There are some words that do not translate appropriately between our different cultures but I can not expect them to change their form of speech or their dialect because the words that they are using are offensive to me. It is who they are and what makes them an individual.

And yes it is JUST A WORD...I personally just feel that those that get offended easily by it need to bring it up to the person using it, but also understand that this person in question should not feel obligated to change their speech because you asked. A polite and caring person would do it out of respect, but not everyone is polite and caring.

if you used it not meaning any harm.
why should i get offended over it?

and i dont think civil rights leaders fought against a word. they fought for "civil rights" (hence the name)

[MrsDirtyOc™]

so how does everyone feel about the Michael Vick S/L?

[SLOWLYbtngU]

At that point, it all boils down to respect. That's like we all up at the V and you start sitting on my hood and don't know me. I ask you to get up and you do, and go sit right in my driver's seat. Not having respect for me is the point I'm trying to poke you with.

Let's say that we are all at the V and I am holding a convo with my friend and you hear me say "*****" and then I turn to you and as polite as can be I introduce myself and ask about your car. Are you going to tell me at that point that I cant use that word around you? Or would you ignore the fact that you overheard me and answer my question because I have in no way disrespected you directly?

[SLOWLYbtngU]

okay.
im not talking racism.
so dont tell me what im talking about.
im not talking racism
you may be.
but im not.
i dont talk racism
cuz im not racist.

dumbass.. Killer ignore his dumbass.

[Dirty Octopus™]

so how does everyone feel about the Michael Vick S/L?

Maaaannnn.... FUCK MIke VIck

how bout some Terry Fator on Merica's Got Talent!

[BobbyFresco]

if you used it not meaning any harm.

and i dont think civil rights leaders fought against a word. they fought for "civil rights" (hence the name)

They fought to be considered equals and not n i g g e r s as they were referred to during that time period.....Hence the fight that I mentioned......

and any variation of the word, however it is intended, is not right. Point Blank....

[Maniaç]

I use it all the time.. Don't care if its to a white/black/hispanic/asian friend. to me, its just a word, just like "dude", "fool", "bro", ect.. those that see it as racist are stupid. And im talking about "N!gga", now if someone says FUCK YOU N!GG"ER" thats another story..

[blackshine007]

Or would you ignore the fact that you overheard me and answer my question because I have in no way disrespected you directly?

I'd ignore you because you were having a conversation between someone else, which at that point didn't involve me. I wouldn't even bring it up because of the dialect you used it in wasn't offensive, henceforth not needed a response about it

[MrsDirtyOc™]

Maaaannnn.... FUCK MIke VIck

how bout some Terry Fator on Merica's Got Talent!

lmao.....u so stupid...... just tried to change the subject it was getting a lil hot in here
