I think Sambo and coon are pretty offensive.

the real question is which would you rather not see on your journey's receipt apparently

that shit blew my mind today

no. The N word is not just a f*ckin word with a definition.

umm...not sure what you mean by that but thats fine.

Who said Coon? That ones pretty good, yeah I think that works. Brooklyn? What about Coon?

^ I said "coon."

I know! Damn, I should make a topic on it in News or something.

Anyways, to make this post relevant, I agree with those who've said that you can't ban "n****er" because you can't technically control the things people say.

Let me beat you every single day with rocks, sticks, fists, and a whip 5-10 times a day for the rest of your life. And I'll only call you by one word and one word only each and every single time I beat you. One day when you're old and useless to me, I'll wrap a rope around your throat, hang you as I call you by that term, and laugh at your death. Then feed you to my dogs or just throw you away. And that a lone is NOTHING compared to the origins of the "N" word.

@ carrie yeah you should. i was amazed.




hmmm, i mean it doesn't personally for me. i guess it varies from person to person though. i wouldn't like being called coon either, but in my mind n****er is still worse.

Eh, the only reason why n****er is more offensive is because it's used more. Coon is just as offensive.

But nothing happens to my penis right? Then okay, could be worse.

Are you trying to make us "feel" for the other side in this debate? What's with all the feelings these days. You know, it's feelings that have plaid a major role in what has gotten us into this "economic crisis" in the first place. When congress forced our lenders to make bad loans to poor families that couldn't pay mortgages, because everyone "deserved" a piece of "American Dream" pie. It will be feelings that reward and bail out these poor irresponsible people who took these loans. It will be feelings that have elected a failure for a president if this stimulus bull-shit doesn't work.

You need a dose of cold hard truth. Fuck your feelings. This is America; not f*cking France. The government doesn't mandate an official language in our country. We aren't pussies yet, but with all these ideas floating around regarding our right to free speach it really makes me wonder (Look up the "Fairness Doctrine/Equal-time Rule"). Feel good fuck-faces like yourself are going to ruin this country. Some of the worst things have been done with the best intentions.

I'll paraphrase what the poster above me said,"It's not that bad if I still have my balls, pussy."

f*ck my feelings? f*ck your existence. I hope one day you let a racist remark or term slip out of that mouth and you catch a bad ass beating half to death. That'll teach you a lesson for being an ignorant f*ck.

Can everyone debate in a more respectable manner without having to bash each other?

This topic has gotten quite of topic... [if that makes sense lol]

Here's another question for you all to think about:

If you are walking one day and decide to stop in a restaurant and have a bite to eat and that place blatantly says no and calls you a n****er or a cracker or any other offensive racial slur, how would you react? It seems as though everyone is still stuck on "it's just a word." If this is so, than Im sure your answers to this new question will be quite interesting

I'd laugh. There shouldn't be anything to get butthurt over.

To be honest, I would beat the shit out of them. But does that mean that the word should get banned? No. Because you can't control what millions of people say.

Im sorry but I find that so hard to believe. You're basically saying that if a stranger called you out of your name, you'd be perfectly fine with it. I just cant understand your way of thinking



I understand what you're saying about it cant be banned and I must admit that the wording of this topic was somewhat illogical, if that is a word lol. But would you say that its okay for people to use racial slurs?

9001 is white. that's basically all you need to know to understand his thinking.

i don't think it would be a good idea to even try and ban the word. it would just give stupid people a reason to use it even more just to rebel. i agree with Carrie. there's no way to stop everyone from using that word or any other word. i've heard of some cities fining people for using racial slurs but, i don't see how that has changed anything. i don't like racial slurs. even when they aren't directed at me or other people of my race i still get offended.

It doesn't physically hurt anyone. It's mean, but it's name calling. It's not like I'm in first grade.


Don't be so mean/truthful.

Edit:

Banning it would give it more power. Part of why I don't find racial slurs offensive is that they're used all over the place, and therefore hold no power.
I believe if it was banned, more people would get butthurt if it was said.

Wow

To be honest, I think that is bullshit. [no offense] No self-respecting individual can go around with someone calling them by racial slurs and not be offended. However, if you really are serious, I feel bad for the way you must get treated.

Ok, just assume I called you a n****er, spick, chink, whatever.

Any lacerations? Cuts, bruises, bumps? Broken bones? Dislocations? Death?

Hmm... most likely yea. Just not on me. Think about it

WHAT THE f*ck ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF? I'M NOT THE f*ckING KKK.

Set you up.

lol. no but really, those are fighting words. it may not hurt someone physically but it's disrepectful. it could hurt someone emotionally and possibly mentally.
