I was called A N(##3R

[SlowEG9]

it's stupid for anyone to say it. no matter the race. it was a derogatory term used in a time that was completely racist. in that time, it was like the lowest thing you could be. it's ironic, as previously stated, when black people are calling eachother it when it was a demeaning term. i highly doubt slaves were calling each other it. and i doubt MLK would be pleased seeing people calling each other it.

just my

Hit the nail on the head...

I'm going to preface my next statement with the following: Im not racist and have black and foreign friends

BUT

For people as a whole race who constantly want to bitch about "equal" rights, Then continue to do this shit is rediculous. You can have NAACP but wheres the NAAWP? That would be considered racist. Or how about the fact that every time I apply for a job, I have to answer the shit of what race I am? Or the fact that at most colleges (hell even high school) you can get a "minority" scholarship because you are "non caucasion".

I'm all about equal rights but if you want respect, you have to earn it and using a slur from the pre1860's instead or a "hey, whats up?" is not the way to do so.

you have the naawp its called the us government. the only reason you have all these race related laws, affirmitave action, etc.. is because of the gross racism the us has displayed to black people in general for almost its entire history. i dont have a giant chip on my shoulder or think that white people need to pay or anything like that but i do understand the reason these laws exist. 50 years ago we couldnt go to certain schools, get certain jobs, i couldnt talk to white women lol...do you think this was all gonna change with an appeal to everyones conscience to do the right thing? heck no. laws had to be made and enforced to give us an opportunity. now everybody has a chance. i still dont think its equal but i think there is no excuse for anyone in america who wants to succeed.

Very valid points to an extent but either way you get props for the last part...Couldnt agree more with it.
