Good…call him back over, call him a “nigger” and see what he says.

Now you most be bullshitting with this right?

The only thing I agree with you about is that it was fuckin annoying getting referred to as “white boy” on the basketball court when I played in a black neighborhood. Doing the reverse would definitely be seen as racist. But everything you wrote above is based on bullshit.

Nope, I don’t say that word. And after I discussed this with him, neither does he.

Now we’re getting somewhere! As long as you agree with the crux of my argument, we’re good. The hypocrisy IS fuckin annoying.

No, I’m not bullshitting. I’m considering going to Grambling where I can get a minority scholarship for being white. Buuuut…then I’d get called whiteboy A LOT.

Solution to the problem? What problem? Why would a white person ignore all of history that is so recent people are still living who experienced it just to say a word out of context? I don’t use the word and haven’t in many years. I also know that I see many guys using this word who are NOT black when they are with their friends and no one says a word in opposition.

I also know that we had some guy complain that white comedians can;t joke about black people…which is complete bullshit today. There are MANY white comedians who do whole skits on the use of that word as well as make fun of black people and no one says anything.

Once again, you seem to be living in a perpetual 1985 unaware that the world kept spinning.

It is not a word used in a professional setting so until we hear what exactly was said in this meeting some guy got fired from, quit jumping to conclusions.

The word will eventually lose any power it has…but my MOM still remembers Colored only water fountains so how fucked up is it that you are willing to ignore this as if HISTORY isn’t the reason for the double standard?

Blame YOUR PARENTS, not the black people who were the fucking victims less than 40 years ago if you want to blame someone at all.[/quote]

What problem? How about the fact the the civil rights movement strove for equality but there’s still injustice at the local basketball court? The fact that I’m not allowed a certain word BECAUSE I"M WHITE. Or that whenever I ball my identifier is “that whiteboy”, but to respond in kind is what gets labeled racism.

No, blame the 20 year old kids that use the word who have no idea what it means to be discriminated against and are pimping the race card for all its worth. Yes, it was 40 years ago…not yesterday.

What history am i ignoring? As I’ve said before, I’m not lobbying to use the word; If I can’t, NO ONE SHOULD. Maybe using the word jokingly is what’s really spitting in the face of history.
Blah blah blah black people take a bad thing and make it their own, whatever…that could be true for another generation, not this one.[/quote]

You also can’t become pregnant, so shut the fuck up.

I would and did reply “black boy”. And if we gotta fight, we just gotta fight.

THE WHITE MAN’S ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO UTTERING THE WORD NIGGER OR NIGGA:

If you have to ask, if you have a doubt, if you hesitate…DON’T.

Gentlemen, it really IS that simple. If you can use it, you will know. If you can’t use it, you know. If you are doubtful, you shouldn’t use it.

You are fucking insane. An entire racial category was beat down for over 300 years in this country yet guys like you want to make an issue because, in spite of having a clear social advantage 99% of the time even today because of being white, you can’t do EVERYTHING a black guy does because of dreaded double standards.

My guess is, if the average black guy could avoid being treated like a potential criminal just for walking in a store for not being able to scream the “n word”, I am betting most would choose to let go of the fucking word.

No one is crying for you here.

In fact, just the opposite.[/quote]

Now who’s living in 1985? Your worldview is outdated. If white people have clear social advantages that much, I’m PISSED b/c somehow I missed out.[/quote]

Move to the Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, Houston, Kansas City, or Phoenix. You’ll find it, I mean it’s pretty much segregated in all those places, in the North more than the South as everyone in the South is pretty much poor.

I wasn’t that tough. 6ft 150 lbs and I’d usually hit the courts by myself. I really didn’t want to get my ass kicked by 9 dudes. I put up with it because it was a whole different game than the ones I played at the courts where mostly white people played and it helped my game.

If I did get jumped and they said “fuck that white boy up”, I bet it wouldn’t be a hate crime. But vice versa…

Lol. I can see it now.

Jimmy4inches: Hey br-br-brother, wanna come over for beers and the game?

Black guy: Motherfucker, you think we’re friends just because I painted yo house and we play basketball?

Jimmy4inches: Um, Yeah…I mean Yes, sir. [In overly pronounced words] I was thinking we could drink a couple of brewskies and watch the Oregon and Auburn game on my new 104" Plasma.

Black guy: Aight motherfucker, but you buying the beer, weed and wings.

Jimmy4inches: Oh, oh. Weed? I do not have any narcotics in the house except Tylenol.

Black guy: Aight, I’ll bring some over but you got the rest.

Jimmy4inches: I gotchu nigga.

Black guy: Motherfucker, what you say?

Jimmy4inches: I will have all the things you have requested, sir!

Black guy: That’s what I thought I heard you say.

Black guy shows up

Jimmy4inches: What’s up my nigga? You got that kush?

Jimmy4inches wakes up an hour latter with his mouth on the edge of a curb with various teeth knocked out and pushed up into his jaw, going inside to find his new black friend and call 911 he sees his TV is missing as well as his watch, necklace, food, and beer.

Because it just ain’t fair that I can’t call people I don’t personally know racial slurs.

Stop posting.

The problem I have with this whole “context” thing is that color of your skin shouldn’t be part of context. If it’s part of context in your opinion, you’re a racist. Period.

People assume far far to much based on skin color. Being white doesn’t make it inherently easier. It doesn’t mean you’ve never been systematically discriminated against. It literally doesn’t mean anything. The same way being black doesn’t.

You don’t know anyone’s life story based on color. A black guy could have grown up the son of a rich politician in Africa on a 1000 acre estate in a country of 99.9% blacks. A white guy could grow up son to a poor white farmer in Mexico and been discriminated against for being white every day of his life.

The experiences of life both within this country and in this world are simply too diverse to make any assumptions about anyone based on skin color. Color simply shouldn’t be a part of any evaluation.

Spades will be spades. Blacks should not try to run away from what they are. They are always speaking languages created by the white man, but shun from some of the words.

Many languages carry an equivalent of the N-word, which is similar to its latin ancestor. Those languages have been chastised into abandoning it as well.

Getting all uppity about being called a spade (while going around being a spade) just adds to the suspicion and lends further evidence for the common understanding that certain groups are impulsive and violent. I don’t give a hell what someone who is not my kind thinks of me. He can call me any name he wants, as long as he leaves me alone. Call me various synonyms of ‘white’ until you’re out of breathe and it makes no difference, because I’m happy to be. Could it be that some have an inferiority complex about what they are and thus they get angry when they are reminded of it?

Damn. In their natural inhabitat these people (where they would have stayed forever because they never invented anything like ships, not to mention aircrafts) are fighting for their lives, even resolting to snorting human feces from a bottle to get high and forget about their misery. They are happy to get some rationed food and a shelter to sleep. Over here, their brothers are willing to bust caps (protected by the white PC police, and with the guns invented by whites) for having their name mentioned.
Mixing alien species’ just does not mix.

In Utopia maybe. Unfortunately, this is the real world and it exists. It even exists in the animal kingdom. As soon as we’re old enough to realize we’re not the same, we start to question.

what are these differences you speak of? and how do you use them in the real world?

Wow. I actually respect you for expressing yourself and making your feelings clear, even if I don’t agree with them. Nothing worse than a hypocrite. That you are not.

The differences are obvious. How you choose to “use” them in the real world is individual choice and conditioning.
