If it was that easy it would of been done by now.

Which i think is rather strange. If they find that word to be offense when white and other people say it, then why is it okay if they say it amongst themselves.... it makes absolutely no sense to me.

It doesn't make sense to anyone other than Blacks apparently. They think they are the only people in the US to be allowed to be racist because their ancestors happened to be slaves over 150 years ago. Meanwhile, they also expect that their race deserves special treatment just because they're black. According to Blacks, whites should only be given welfare if all the blacks who need it get it first. According to Blacks, even if they are less qualified, they should be given jobs instead of more qualified whites and employers should be forced to do this or be punished by law.

It just shows how political correctness regarding racism has actually turned into reverse racism and complete and utter hypocrisy.


Yay, Obama won. Let's thank his supporters:
-The compliant mainstream media for their pro-Obama propaganda.
-Black Panthers for their intimidation of voters.

This is sad. I really do believe that the denizens of this form will gain a respect for me in retrospect when I predicted a grand Race War.

I can only say, "I told you so."

I love how you speak out for the entire black population of the United States, great job.

There's a jab in there towards afirmitive action. The way the system is built to work is, the "underpriveledged" get consideration but wihout excluding other groups unless that is the original intent of the system. If an employer intended to reach out to african-americans and a white guy applied, the white guy would be turned down because the intent of the program is to employ African-Americans. However, the white employee could file a grievance at a later time if the employer is exclusively employing African-Americans and constantly excluding others. Abuse of anything is intolerable and abuse of Affirmative Action is no different.

So anyway before I go on a tangent, I do agree the Affirmative Action system is slanted towards the "underpriveledged" or the "minority" but it does that on the basis that it is trying to counter-balance the imbalances of the past which had high and exclusive favoritism of the priveleged and the majority. It's like if you fucked up real bad and it would be expected of you to give an apology, yet you never gave one or tried to make ammends for it. But just how much counter-balancing and equalizing is necessary is a whole other can of worms. To draw a solid line on such an issue would definitely be a challenge, but I think society should be moving progressively towards an age of actual balance, no favoritism at all towards certain groups and the gradual phasing-out of affirmative action.

FUCK AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND FUCK THE PAST!

I HAVE NOT EVER been racist. (I may say things that are racist but I don't MEAN them)

So answer me this, why should I be affected by what my ancestors 150 years ago did?

Why should a black perosn get a job before me if he is less qualified? That's what affirmative action does.

Why should a woman get more college funding than I if we have the same grades and ACT score? That's what affirmative action does.

Why should I be pushed down as an individual and have someone else who is equal to or inferior to me elevated? That is what affirmative action does.

(Note: To all you idiots who think I'm saying that blacks are inferior to me, shut up. I don't care about race, I care about facts and individual choices.)

Affirmative action is a system put forth far too late. By the time it hit people were well on the way to being equal to each other. If it had occured 100 years ago, things would have been different.

If a population is 10% latino, then why should a school NEED be 10% latino? Shouldn't things be based on merit instead of skin color or gender? Isn't basing government grants and job distribution on sex and race what we call RACISM and SEXISM. (You know, the two things we're apparently trying to stop with the program)

Tell me how Title IX and Affirmative Action stop racism and sexism. Try. Just try.

(On topic, I got no problem with the word Ni99er. My only demand is that either it is inappropriate for everyone to use it, or everyone can use it.)

It's not about the word itself its about the history of the word. Unfortunatly the "n" word was used as beyond an insult. A way of people making other people less than human. If you look at the racial slurs in context its pretty disgusting. I've been on the end of racism despitie being white myself and I can tell you it's no fun. So quit insutling each other and go about your buisness.

Sounds like something personal...

You're not necessarily racist if you're against afirmative action, chill out man. However, you can't say a black person who is less qualified than you will get a job before you because of affirmative action. That's not affirmative action's goal and you're damned straight you have a right to complain and take action if that happens. Now if the guy were just as qualified as you and he were hired, then yes I could definitely see how it would get annoying real fast. But still, he was just as qualified as you so... it was a 50/50 chance either of you would get the job anyway. Of course then it could be said the employer went with him anyway in order not to seem racist, but hey that's the reason for affirmative action, because people still make decisions based on prejudice. One such issue is with college admissions as you pointed out.

Still though, I agree that Affirmative Action shouldn't be as bold and as obvious as it is and should be removed eventually. If minorities start to complain on the removal then it shows they had a dependence on the system. However, if they don't complain, and employers begin once again to hire mostly white males for the most-desirable jobs, then the minorities will have a right to complain and your whole view on affirmative action would have been flawed and brought about prematurely. That is to say, if that happened because you thought affirmative action was a thing of the past, clearly you were wrong. There's no real way to tell though until it's tried.

Anyway back to the 'N' word. It's a double-edged sword if you ask me and if it's going to be used freely by blacks then it should be used by everyone. And if it won't be used by everyone and exclusively by blacks, then it probably shouldn't be used at all because sooner or later someone will have a slip of the tongue like the Kramer character. Just out of curiosity can I say wetback in here? Or is that permissible because I'm Mexican?

They should go along with this ban, but I don't think that Paul Mooney and J-Jax are going to be able to pull it off. So many rappers and ignorant fools love spewing that word, and I don't think 2 people and their followers will change it. Jesse Jackson hasn't ever gotten much significant done.

To the guy above me, it's not about toughing up or any of that garbage. It's such a disgusting word with such a bloody past nobody should use it. I don't blame people for getting upset about it, it's just one of those words that shouldn't be used. I don't know if we can "ban" it, but people need to look at the past and realise this word and others like it are just a repeat of a bad past.

Well, here's how I understand it so far. If someone within an ethnic group uses it within itself, the word's a term of endearment. If someone OUTSIDE it uses it, it's a major insult.

Good evidence of it: The Jackie Chan/Bill Bellamy movie "Rush Hour." Bill's character is going to his hangout in tha hood, and sees his buds. And they swap greetings: "How'z my n1??a?" "How'z my n1??a?" B-D

Then Jackie decides to use it... "How's my n1??a?" ^_^y
The others: "WHAT?!"
Jackie: "...how's my n1??a?" o.O;;;

And of course, one big protracted fight breaks out.

And there's the infamous Saturday Night Live skit where Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor do a job interview with a word association test... which degenerates in a hurry.

Search YouTube for it, it's a hoot... but caution, there's racial insults a-go-go there. Viewer discretion, blah blah blah. (And true, there's an edge to the audience laughter, but the SNL studio's still standing... so...)

In short, USING the word on someone else is a BAD idea. Erasing it from our history would be even worse, though.

I think me and my fellow honkies oughta be cool with that. ;-)

Quiet honkey! :P

And I highly doubt that if you were black, and you couldn't go through a single day without being called an N or a porch monkey, or blue gums, you would get pretty damn tired of it, and pissed off too.

I for one would punch someone (If I was black) and I got called fat lip, or darky. And you most certainly would too.

I used to get called honkey or cracker all the time when I lived in a town that was 60% black. Did I get annoyed? Yes. Did I go on a rampage about how they shouldn't use the word because it hurt my feelings? No.

Honkey isn't that bad of an insult, and cracker isn't either, as a matter I call my white friends cracker because it's hilarious, but you do have a slight point.

But when it's obvious that a word offends somebody so badly, why use it? Sure, people shouldn't bitch about it so much, since nobody uses it anymore anyway, but that's still no excuse to go around calling someone bubba brown.

But I do have one small question for black people. Actually it's more of a statement. If you don't want white people to call you an N, don't call each other an N, that's just common sense.

Honestly, if the blacks would start holding their chins up, show integrity and a respect for themselves and their condition.. I might even begin to respect them in return. I'm sick of hearing them lay the blame on "da white devil" and "da man" who supposedly has it against them. If Whites hadn't shown them mercy they'd still be tilling the fields like cattle.

Weakness of mind, lack of pride, integrity and culture... those aspects of the race disgust me.

Equality and respect? Earn it. Stop bitching, get educated, stop wearing your fuckin' pants around your ankles, speak proper english and look me in the eye when I talk to you. If you should stand at my level, I would have no choice but to respect you.

Does anyone follow my logic?

Yes, I really am Black. I just don't buy into all of the racial pride and ghetto culture. I try to be realistic, and I tried to succeed, but it is impossible for a Black to succeed (and no, I do not want AA or welfare or any of that; I want respect, which cannot be attained by a Black).

I feel u! Ignorant racist people will see 10 blacks and if 1 of the 10 act ghetto they'll remember that one and categorize all of us as ghetto. But don't let that get u down cause they are only hurting themselves. Hate eats a person up...on the inside.

Not really. Non-Blacks are successful and get along well. Blacks are downtrodden and will most likely always will be. Only Blacks like Blacks, but being around only Blacks does not appeal to me.

Sorry, I forgot to add this bit to my last post.

However, it is the truth, no matter how much it hurts. Different races will never get along, and only fools and infants believe in racial peace. I used to be a fool, but now I am enlightened. There will never be peace. Things will only get worse and worse until we have a race war on our hands. I predicted this many months ago, and now I see it all coming to fruition.
