Is "white boy" a racial slur?

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I don't think it's so much a racist thing as you're going around calling people "boy". That's condescending and an insult to anyone.

No way!

So now you're saying there's something "inferior" or "derogatory" about BOYS?

Try again, Girl.

Woe are the white people. Will the oppression against them never end?

 

[Erzengel]

You crackas are krazy.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

If black boy is then white boy is. People love equality and that seems pretty equal in my view.

 

[Batty for Bats!]

Where's Redskull whenever you need some entertainment?





I never really understood why white people (i'm white) get their panties in a twist. and besides, nothing REALLY derogitive was ever really thought up about white people. Someone calls me a cracker.. or a honky ) my fav), there's really nothing that I could say back, cause I'm just not offended by it.

Which really brings us to the point; words only have power if you give them that power.

Yes, you see, those meaningless combinations of clicks and sounds can easily be ignored. Or you can change the meaning. For instance, if a woman says "Go away, ugmo" to me, I will change the meaning of "go away" to "**** me NOW" and "ugmo" to "you handsome Robert Mitchum lookalike".

I'd get sent to jail, but hey, the meanings were CHANGED

It's not just the way you look at the word. Someone can call you the most inoffensive, innocuous thing. If someone has hateful intent behind it can have power.

it's not about changing the meaning...it's about acknowledging that the words themselves aren't the problem...it's the racist ******* who is saying them that you should be worried about.

we let words effect us in how we choose to...

Shonuff,

You are too tense. Here have some candy from my country.

lol, I'm picturing John Cryer or Drew Carrey saying, "Words only have power if you, like,...give them, power."

lol

I always use to make up my own.

When you are propositioning a hooker, take a look at her hands and her neck. If she has man hands or a huge adam's apple, she's a tranny.

I'll break out in hives and crap for a week straight.

But the thought counts.
