Disagree.

Pretty funny. However, I stick by the original point. There may be a few individuals, but come on, if you’re trying to sound like Ice T,and you’re white, and you grew up in a deprived environment chances are you are simply white trash which is indeed unfortunate. Poverty is’nt funny, however wanting to sound as uneducated and retarded as possible considering less than fortunate circumstances is a bit puzzling. At that point you’re trying Yo…ya feel me dawg? No, I dont, and stop wearing your hat sideways tool

Cromwell, I agree with you for the most part, but let’s remember youth have always been fascinated and drawn to excessive exaggerated flaunting’s of rebellious macho attitudes. In my youth in the eighties it was Motley Crew or Slayer and such. Today it’s the exaggerated excess of rappers from the hood flaunting the same old thing their excess’s, money, women, toughness. Same bragging different packaging. Who knows what it will be twenty years from now. Bottom line is, and I include myself when that age, is most youth are stumbling and bumbling awkwardly trying to find their identity. Now I look at high school pictures of myself as a long haired metal head and laugh.

I don’t mean to stir the pot more here but the last several posts made something click in my head a little. Wouldn’t calling someone a white nigger, or a wigger actually be non-racist? If racism is purely defined by hatred based on skin color, then calling someone who is white, a (w)nigger would either be one of two things, the person is insane or colorblind (just blind, Clayton Bigsby?) or the term does not mean what it used to and now more accurately classifies a subgroup with similar behaviors, mannerisms, slang, attitudes, etc…

I mean if white people can now be called niggers also, isn’t that what black people ultimately wanted? Equality?

Ok I know I am going to need to clarify that, so let me try to be pre-emptive. Say I see a chinese dude dressed in all Ghetto, gold chains, saggy pants, swaggering around, doing the whole yo-yo homie, sup my dawg, etc… Now what if I called him a Chigger? Would that be racist? How would it be? Am I calling him black?

What would make me think he is black? Do all black people dress and act like that? No, not even close. Sure some do, but as we have identified in this thread, so do some white people. Would I be being derogatory towards him because of his skin tone? Or would it be because he was acting like a fucking douchebag? I can still be deragotory towards douchebags right?

To further put a personal spin on why I have a pretty strong opinion and willingess to talk about this. I have two cousins who are a couple years younger than I am, we grew up together, roughoused at every christmas, thanksgiving, easter, holoween, etc… We spent most of every summer rotating whos house we would be at, I mean we were a pretty tight trio.

So one of my cousins goes away to school on a football scholarship. Gets in with a wrong crowd, gets into drugs and gets kicked off the team, shortly he gets in trouble with the law and gets kicked out of school and comes home. This happened over the time period of approx 2 years. Now I had seen him sparingly and I didn’t like what I saw over those 2 years, but it really struck me one day when he was back home for good. (he is a big kid too, much bigger than I am, though me being older I have always had the upper hand on him).

So anyways, we are sitting there one day, our first real one on one time and he’s all "yo son so you shoulda seen the bitches me and my niggas fuckin down at school yo… My jaw hits the floor. I’m like what the fuck did you just say to me? He responds with “What son what you talkin bout soooon…” I looked at him and said “motherfucker if you ever speak to me like that again it is going to be on.”

He started getting a little red and I could tell he was mad and he was like. “you this is who I am now” I responded with " fuck you, I know you, I grew up with you, this is the shit attitude that fucked your life up and you are going to come to me like that?"

Anyways, he wouldn’t knock it off, we wrestled, luckily I caught him in a gilloutine and made his big ass tap… I didn’t talk to him for about a moth. Next time I saw him. "hey whats up. … Nothing hows it going. … “good , hey sorry about last time and all.”… Oh no problem, yea what an asshole I was, fuck,… And that was pretty much the end of it. I don’t know if this story really has much to do with anything above, but hell.

It’s why I for one am not fond of the attitude that I associate with those two derogitory words we were discussing in this thread. Has nothing to do with skin color.

Well Vegita, like I alluded to in most cases whether it’s an effeminate emo kid, a hard core gangsta wannabe, a pumped up jock, or a pierced all over the face metal head, it boils down to kids wanting attention, validation, and to be seen. And, with males most want to be views as hardcore tough SOB’s not to be messed with.

He was a 6’1" 235 Lb linebacker playing on a football scholarship. I don’t think most people would be messing with him in the first place. I mean hell I have a couple Busta Rhymes Cd’s I listen to rap on occasion, It’s not like I’m some white hick who sits in his log cabin spitting into a spitoon playing on my banjo. I just hate the little ganster gangbanger mindset. Especially because 80-90% are fucking pussies and I would rip thier arms off and beat them with them, and the other 10% would shoot me dead for looking at them wrong.

Even when a kid is ‘big’ and can bust most people up the youthful mindset can still prompt them to want to exaggerate it for affect. Again, to my thinking kids even when 6 foot 1 235 pounds like to identify with what’s cool. And, in this day and age for most of them rappers are what’s cool. Some kids only listen to it and slightly dress in that mode for the most part, while others go full bang behaving and acting like their from the hood. At my age any posturing exaggerated behavior just looks silly to me and is only truly pathetic when I see people my age trying to act that way, like kids.

In any event it’s fucking stupid and I didn’t like it before my cousin pulled his shit and I really fucking hated it after. But again, this has nothing to do with skin color, so if i’m watching a goup of these idiots of any color and I make a derogatory remark, like what a bunch of fucking losers, some black guy is going to call me a racist. And he is going to be wrong, yet now other black people are going to pile on and so on and so forth. SOME are too quick to defend anything to do with thier identities even if it is something they don’t directly identify with. This is what X was complaining about earlier, that any time a black person complains about racism, they are labeled cry babies or whatever, but it is true as much as it isn’t.

Yes, I agree it’s youthful stupidity and that’s how I choose to look at it in an age based way not race. You can choose to make race the main factor if you choose, that’s certainly your choice. I choose to age discriminate in this case which to me is more benign as we’ve all been eighteen and dumb but we all haven’t been black or white or brown etc. etc. In the end people have a right to dress or act as stupidly as they want if their not hurting anyone and for most of these young white kids it’s a phase they’ll pass thru. But, again, if calling them ‘wiggers’ soothes your furrowed brow over it all then you must do what gets you by.

Oh, one last thing, think if you called any group whether they be farmers, fishermen, or Chinese acrobats, fucking losers, they’d probably be a little offended and say something back at you. If’n I see a group of people I think are ‘fucking losers’ that usually stays as a thought in my head as I don’t particularly like getting into altercations with people.

See THIS is why you don’t get it…

WRONG… We will say true of course he’s a loser that’s Vegita’s cousin…
But if you said “What a bunch of losers because they are acting like all black people”… then we would call you racist.

This is what your doing when you call somebody a wigger…
Like your “Strong Island” Friends… You ever stop and think that they are acting like “Statin Island” white kids, instead of white kids acting black? or if it’s the gangsta part of them you don;'t like 50 came up with a new word… “Wanksta”!!!, but Wigger… well that implies that All Black people act like the white kids your claiming.

Rockscar:
Far as black people calling black people “nigger”, it was only affectionate as a slang term between 85 and 05… 20 years… White people have been using it for 300, we have a right to be mad, get over it. Black people with half a brain don’t even use it anymore, black people that do we call them ignorant… and guess what?? we call white people who use it ignorant too…

Well said. I will only add that “hip hop” styles are NOT related to race at this point. Anyone looking at “hip hop” style and calling anyone who dresses like that a “wannabe black person” is clueless about the world around them and how it has changed.

A Latino dressing hip hop is trying to be black? Really?

Most of you who call this style “ignorant” or whatever other derogatory names you have for it are obviously pretty fucking far removed from the culture that inspired it…which means fundamentally your opinion means NOTHING.

Most of you seem to be judging people based on outdated assumptions that would only be half true if this were 1990.

I suggest many of you wave at the world as it passes you by because if any of you judge me based solely on what I wear on a Friday night according to these purely “bleached white” concepts of pop culture, just keep it to yourself. You don’t have a clue.

I like snoop dog new album ‘‘ego trippin’’

Just for clarities sake if I was included as a target in your statement, I am more referring to the behavior of kids when acting hard and or mimicking the behavior and attitude and yes sometimes dress of those from the hood, generally latino and black youth. Acting as if they are a hardcore gangster when they live in an upper middle class suburb. I.e. the posturing behavior.

Style is style and is as varied as anything else and, yes the hip hop style is what is predominant in our culture right now for most people thirty and under and living in America. A trip to any local mall whether in LA or Pine Bend Utah will bear that out.

You are completely correct and I’ve seen many upstanding white, latino, black, youth who dress in a very stylistic hip hop fashion. My main points again being towards what I thought Vegita was complaining about white kids who act as if their from the hood hard and menacing as if the come from a hard and bleak existance.

Latinos were involved hip hop before the word was coined, they had as much role in the development of the genre as the black community. So a Latino dressing hip hop is not trying to act black, he’s trying to dress hip hop.

However, whites are not wiggers because they wear hip hop clothes, they are wiggers because they idolize and try to portray negative stereotypes of the black community.

As if these cultural depravities and inequities, are enviable cultural accomplishments worthy of mimicking.

So tell us, genius, how are homeless white people idolizing and portraying negative stereotypes of black people based on clothing alone?

You yourself made a negative comment about a do rag. Is this now a “negative stereotype”? Something that is common place in any urban neighborhood across the country and has been since the 60’s at least?

Okay. Du Rag. What purpose would a caucasion hobo have for wearing a du rag? Other than mimicking black cultural memes. We all know why and where Du Rags come from, a white has basically no reason to ever wear one, unless he is trying to become a part of this african american cultural phenomenon. I think that is a fair assessment.

This hobo can also be assessed to be a wigger, by his slurred “ghetto” afro american speech patterns, and his attempt to sell me CDs from predominately black artists.

I have friends who wear one just to keep shit out of their hair during the day until they go out at night. You are saying this act is now race specific? You even mentioned tank tops before (something you, for some strange reason, still refer to as a wife beater). Again, I am referring directly to your comment about NEGATIVE BLACK STEREOTYPES.

By your own assessment, you have now claimed clothing itself as a NEGATIVE BLACK STEREOTYPE. I am asking specifically what are NEGATIVE BLACK CLOTHING STEREOTYPES.

You do realize that by claiming it is NEGATIVE that it is now up to you to show how all hip hop clothing is NEGATIVE and STEREOTYPICAL of most or all black people.

I just remembered I had a white friend in Florida who wore one under his motorcycle helmet (for obvious reasons). I didn’t even know I should have been degrading him for trying to be NEGATIVE AND BLACK.
