Stick Cult Unspoken Autonomy.	Posted - 2010.08.20 19:39:00 - [1] If it was directed at you, in a racist way, then you would have all right to be offended. But if he just said it, in a joking manner, and not even directed at you, it's the same as if he were to say "mother**er" or "got". It has no racist implications, it's just a bad word. I won't even get into the whole "double standards" thing that it's ok for a black person to say it, but anyone else it's suddenly the worst word in existence. No offense, and I'm not accusing you of it, it just *es me off. Originally by:** CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.

Text I can ignore but the annoying squirelly voice of a shut-in going on about teabagging and pwnage just makes my ears bleed. You, sir, need to join a better corp then. Yea, my vent is full of people insulting each other sometimes, but at least it's funny, and they don't talk about teabagging and pwning and that other cancer of the internet stuff. edit: Well, at least PSN is better than Xbox Live.

I just don't understand, please enlighten me. LET ME ENLIGHTEN YOU (moron) There's this moment in American history when white people enslaved black people. Later on they freed them and oppressed them. During this long history when a white person said the N* word towards a black person, it was meant as a threat, purely racist remark or worse. Nowadays you have more nuance. You have black people who use the word. However when a black person uses the word, CHANCES ARE THEY"RE NOT IN THE KayKK! However when a white person uses it, it makes a black person suspicious, confused or nervous at their intentions or context. I'm black. If a black guy says n* I can assume he's probably not a racist set out to destroy me. When a white person says it, I have to immediately understand context. If I can't understand context (for example, if a stranger says it) I become upset or suspicious of them. THERE YOU GO! Then you're paranoid. Chances are most white people aren't the the * either, so grow up. Quote: During this long history when a white person said the N*** word towards a black person, it was meant as a threat, purely racist remark or worse. Yes. And this period of history is over.

Stick Cult Unspoken Autonomy.	Posted - 2010.08.20 22:48:00 - [9] I know there's racism still, and there always will be. Forever. There will always be "that group" of people everyone seems to hate, although the FOTM will switch every now and then, and you'll always be able to find some other group who hates someone else for no reason. It's human nature. My point is that you shouldn't be offended by a word, there are much more important things to be offended about. Also, I was referencing the period of history when black people were openly discriminated against. (ie, denied service at a restaurant, on a bus, etc) Of course there will always be people who will generalize about groups, but that goes for every group of people. Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad.

Enlighten me, please. In modern context, yes, it is just a word. And to just be a total *****, I say I do have the right, as guaranteed by the 1st amendment. I wouldn't, but I can.

Google the civil rights movement of the 1960s if you want a modern explination of it. The 1960s and 1970s weren't that long ago, but of course with the ADHD children of today, last year is ancient history now. And that little part about having the right to say that to John Lewis, you are an ingnorant bastard if you think it's ok to call that man a n**. That man has lived through things that would make you curl up in the corner and cry for mommy. Show a little respect. Making segregation in schools, the workplace, government, etc illegal?
