Remember.....this thread is for serious discussion....it is NOT an excuse to recount all the lame jokes you know using the word.
Yeah, that's mostly just me. I'll stop.
Well, one more from Chris Rock:
They are two types of black people! There's --
No, nevermind. I'll just stop.
I dont even care if I get called racist for this because nowadays, everything a white person says about a black is racist...but here we go...the n-word shouldnt easily offend so many people today. It pisses me off that black people can get off with ANYTHING. They can say ANYTHING they want to a white person without it even being remotely racist. While white people can't say **** to a black person without it being racist. The n-word shouldnt offend every single motherbeeping black person on the planet, when they use the very same word every single day. The word should only offend people that were affected by the racist mindsets that white people had a few decades ago. Today black people still act like they need to "overcome" the racism that still supposedly goes on today. When in reality, they have just as many chances as any one else does. I do not consider myself racist, and I even have many black friends, but black people should be much more desensitized to "racism" when in reality, they are imagining racism.
Racist.
No, seriously. You're probably not racist. You
are bitter, though. You can't just turn a blind eye to racism and say that black people are always imagining it. Yes, okay, there are a few people that do imagine racism where there is none. However, that doesn't mean real racism doesn't still happen. The incident in Jena, Louisiana wasn't that long ago, and that was just a
highly publicized instance of race relations deteriorating.
Oh, and by the way, not every black person uses the n-word. Like I said earlier,
I don't use it. Even when I follow along rap songs and quote the movie Blazing Saddles (which is one of the funniest movies of all time, by the way), I tend to skip it. The word actually makes me uncomfortable to
say. So, yeah, I'm gonna get uncomfortable when I hear it outside of a comedic or artistic context. Yes, even when I hear other black people say it.
Nobody in my family raised me to use that word.
