WTF?
I’ve never even heard of those words before so how do they equal the same as something as widely known as the “n word” with a relevant social history less than 20 years old?
Of course they don’t get upset if it has almost ZERO significant meaning today.
LOL!!

But that being said, why nit understand why it offends blacks? It’s not polite talk and every with an iq over six knows that. So don’t say it. You wouldn’t say fuck in front of grandma or your minister. Grow up and learn done social graces regardless of race.
I know my father didn’t tolerate any racial slurs. They’re just not necessary .[/quote]
Who the fuck are you talking to? Big and I have both written that we and our friends don’t use it…so who are you speaking to?
If I ever do use it, you can bet the context and the company I keep when doing so will be respectful of the word and situation.

Relevant or not, there’s nothing wrong with talking politely. Also, comparing who was the greater victim never amounts to anything. You weren’t around 50 years ago. I wasn’t around when some of my descendants were humping it in mines in the 1920s. Back in the day when your dad died and they dumped the body on the front porch with a bill for his damaged equipment and gave you three days to come up with a son to work there or the family was out on the street.
Boo hoo, life sucked for great grand dad. I have to slum it in my office and stress about my bills. He stressed about a mine shaft collapsing on his head. Not quite the same.
I don’t care what people say to each other. I have other worries than racism. Here’s a hint, you’ll never fix it if it exists. And if it doesn’t you just carry an unnecessary weight around. It’s like trying to run a sprint with an 84 lb x vest on. Good luck with that.
I’ll stick to worrying about my kid’s health, their grades, my business, taxes and other stuff. These are things I can help with and maybe change. Race I can’t change, attitude I can.
the most racist people I have met are the bottom of the barrel lazy ass fill in the blank low lifes. Mexicans who don’t work here hate the Dominicans who don’t work who hate the Puerto Ricans who don’t work who hate the whites and blacks who don’t work. It’s a battle of the scumbags.
The family types worry about their jobs and families. Kids need to get to soccer practice. Homework needs to be done. Bills have to be paid. I had some welfare low life in my office complaining about the niggers a few years back. These piece of crap had four kids from three guys, welfare, and home made prison tatoos.
People here who have decent lives don’t worry about the dirt bags. We have other things to do. There’s a life lesson for you. Drop the chip from your shoulder and be a doctor. Be a good one. People will like you and will use your services. The people who don’t like you based on race aren’t worth your time. [/quote]
This ia actually a very valid point put up, I am a chinese so I may never full understand the issues behind the “N” word eventhough I have read about some related stuff (aparthied, affirmative action etc". Was getting more and more confused as I read on until this post offer me a moment of clarity
