honest talk about the negro coffee fetcher

[shnkrmn]

So yankee is a hurtful term now...

You are ridiculous....

That is what is wrong with this country,We are scared to offend peope

LOL. I wasn't hurt.

But was it meant as a compliment or an insult? Doc111 says context is everything. So your INTENT in calling me a yankee needs to be considered. You say it is not hurtful, so it must be neutral or complimentary, right?

I am ridiculous; I reserve that right. I find it pleasurable.

What's wrong with this country is everybody running around all the time saying there is anything at all wrong with this country. On RIU, those are the people who abuse this emoticon the most;

 

[Mindmelted]

I refuse to talk racist ... I also refuse to talk PC.

Both are offensive.....

Agreed.......

 

[doc111]

i disagree
any black person that says they dont mind being called a nigger by white are lieing
and the same for latinos and being called wetbacks or what ever

words or powerfull, people love to say words should not hurt you but the truth is they do hurt

Disagree with what? That it depends on who is using the word, how sensitive is the intended target of the word, and how the word is being used? You now have me completely baffled my friend.

 

[jeff f]

words don't cause pain, silly. that's the whole issue. you all need to get over it.

why do you post this poisenous christian crap? his next sermon is probably where he tells the little kids to murder nonbelievers in their sleep. ( toungue in cheek)

 

[fdd2blk]

One inner issue would be not wanting to be called a name that is universally considered impolite, not a compliment, aggressive, hateful.

Words are what all social interactions are made of. If you think a social interaction can be productive when the words used are not equally pleasing to the participants, I don't know what to tell you.

as a mod on this forum, i get called names all day long. if you let it hurt you, you are weak. sorry, that's how i feel.

As a mod on this forum it goes with the territory. Besides I'm talking about real life. And I'm talking about race-based discrimination, not forum rats calling you a cunt

An eye for an eye and all the world will be blinded.

if you are black and a white person calls you a nigger and you cry over it you are a bitch.

there, any more clearer?


sticks and stones will break my bones but names will NEVER hurt me.


grow up. sheesh

i dont think that you will ever understand
as a mater of fact i know that you do understand and you are just playing slow,,,, fdd you are way to smart to not understand its more then just name calling - that one word is the most powerfull word on the planet
its an american word created by white slave owner to demean & demoralize a whole race of people

you walking past me saying what's up bitch
is totally differant then you walking past me saying what's up nigger
yes both will get you fucked up

but one makes you a dickhead racist and the other one makes you just a dickhead
both were used to push me over the edge
but you already know all of this

some how bitch has lost some of its sting, but it is still there, call a female that you dont know a bitch and watch what happen , she's angery and ready to fight
the same with gay's, call a gay person a faggot, same as above. it invokes hurt and pushes a person to the edge

see words do hurt ,
but because people who look like you invented those words they dont hurt you. they were not made to hurt you, but to do the reverse, these words empower the white man, makes him stronger puts a smile on your face to see those in the path of these words coming out of you mouth in pain

words are very powerfull

the weak ones are there to justify the strong!!!

Words only have power over you .... if you let them. Strength through indifference.

That is too true.
Therein lies the fatal flaw of the misguided notion of Political Correctness.

Nice try hanimmal

So how does using the word Niglet make you racist!!!!

You should know I don't care that you are a racist. But to see you posting in this thread I think it is fair to call you out on it. Every thread I have seen you post in that is about some sort of racial issue you put out some very bigot ideas.

Are you one of those people that think because i use a rebel flag i am a racist...

Yup, and add to that using the word niglet, and it continues to prove what I am saying.

So the cross is bad because hitler used it huh...

Just because some asshole white people started using it for hate does not make the symbol one of hate does it.

What about the swastika?

Because i know the origin of the flag,that flag does not bother me at all.Was it used to do evil,yes it was.But does that make the symbol itself bad!! No it does not.

But you know damn well what that guy is thinking that it means.



Well, maybe I am being a tad strong with calling you a racist. Maybe you are not, but I am fairly certain you are like a lot in my family, and tend to blame a lot on minorities when you are in a group of white people, and will say and laugh about some truly racist shit. And everytime you get called out on being a racist you will pull out the token black friend card.

You say that it is because everyone is PC now, but really when you use the words 'niglet' you lose your ability to be able to talk about race without being called out as being a racist.

IF words cannot hurt, then why do people use them as weapons?

No, perhaps names will never hurt you. YOUR invulnerability does not make it the universal paradigm.

That 5hit said it better than me. If the word nigger isn't a weapon in the mouth of a white man, then neither is that negro's baseball bat flying at your head.

So if a word offends somebody, should they retaliate or would that 'make them a bitch?'

What's with the 'grow up, sheesh'? This is a debate. 5hit and I are both a little surprised at your position. I said you were being obtuse, he said you're just playing slow. I don't think those were insults so why attack my maturity? I was born in 1958; if I haven't grown up yet, I'm not gonna.

Ppl use them because enough ppl still let it affect them. Some folks are emo, some are not. the emo's are affected, the others nil or none (like me).

Some of the old sayings are around for a reason ...

Sticks and stones may break ur bones, but names will never hurt you.


I was taught that lesson early on in life, and once I saw that it was true, it changed my perspective.

Now, I don't bother shouting ppl down. i either out think them, or flank them and leave them behind. life's too short to get caught up in emo talk that goes nowhere.

PC and racist talk weakens a person, but not the receiver ... it weakens the sender, if it falls on deaf ears.

Move past the low totem thinkers on both sides, they're not worth it.

Always cut WITH the vein, not across it kidz....

 

[shnkrmn]

Well, it's not my place to argue with a bunch of white guys about what people of color think about being called names anymore. Trotting out sticks and stones might have worked in Mayberry if Opie was bent out of shape, but we don't live in that world anymore (fortunately).

 

[Illegal Smile]

this should be the only flag flown on US soil by true american

You know, I agree. BUT, for the same reasons that flag can be burned, other flags can be flown too, and the right to do so should be protected.

 

[hanimmal]

Yeah but then we should be able to call them out on why they are doing it.

Most the people that fly a swastika will fly the rebel flag. And if they are that proud of their place of birth, why not just fly the actual flag, why the rebel flag unless they are trying to send a message?

Exactly. The stars and bars is explicitly divisive and sets the bearer apart from all those who do not share the same response to the value set which they attach to that flag.

Yes, everyone has a right to display any flag they like. That's our country and that's good. But no one has a right to say what that flag means in the absolute sense. It means heritage to some and subjugation and shame to others. In a free society no one can insist that only their meaning is the correct one.

So there are consequences to the choice of flying that flag. Most of those consequences are desired, some are inescapably not, like being named a racist, for example. Establishing or reinforcing divisions in society is desirable to some, but probably destructive to the nation as a whole.

It's not the same as a 'kiss me, I'm Italian' bumper sticker.
