im not racist..., i just have a color tv! Options

[xLil SweetnezZx]

i agree wit the topic starter. thats all I'm sayin.......ok mebbe not.....

Tboltzbabe-way to go! U totally took the wrds outta my mouth

if you call yourself bob, i will call you bob. if you call yourself mohammad, i will call you mohammad. if you call yourself mary, i will call you mary. if you call yourself stupid, i will call you stupid. if you call yourself fat, i willl call you fat. if you call yourself nigger, i will call you nigger. got it?

I'm half n half on this part of the argument(sp???) There are personal names, names u use just for ur self like how ur mom cud call u poo-poo(Yes my mum calls me poo-poo) or something but if sumone off the street sed it, u'd take it into offense. Then there are names everyone calls u.....a nickname or ur birth name(Alana is usually wut evryone calls me). And then u may even have a religious name (like people in the mosque call me Medina) So....I guess sum ppl can call othr ppl one thing and....ACK! Lost my train of thought but I hope u ppl get the idea......god I'm rambling

AND Indians and Middle Easterns and Africans ("my people") were taken (willfuly n forcefully) by the British to work in plantations and u don't see my family or "my ppl" going on about it. My great-great-great-great-grandma worked on a plantation but that was a long time ago so as much as I mourn over all her suffering I can't take it personally cuz I didn't go through all dat

I'm juss putting my 2 cents in-thats all

[BlondE x Babii]

ok something that just came to my head
how come black people get offended when someone of another race calls them a nigger but alot of them go around calling other people (whites in the example im about to give) crackers and were supposed to not get offended? i dont think its really fair but maybe its just me?

[LaRevolucion]

what da heck is a wetback?

A "wetback" is a racial slur for a Mexican. It's basically trying to say that a Mexican is a "wetback" because he crossed over the border, so an illegal Mexican is what it is. Hahaha....I think I've been called that before even though I'm not illegal.

I have another thing to say. Do guys remember that Jennifer Lopez did a song with Ja Rule and in the song she said the "n" word. It was all over the news because people got offended. Then they started calling her a wetback. She's Puerto Rican not Mexican and that just shows how ignorant those people were in calling her that since Puerto Rico is part of the United States.

[ComradeRed]

Two words: WHO CARES? Here's a thought: If you are against the word 'nigger', 'wetback', etc., don't say it. Got it? Good.

[F_L_I_P]

Daym you guys say those words as if you can say to the persons face as if you are racist.

PLZ stop w/ the statistics people...we have our OWN encyclopedias..

Perhaps, but apaprently you don't read them, because if you did, you would know that they aren't great places for detailed statistics.

^^whoever said they judge ppl by what they wear..is that supposed to sound better? that's f'ing stupid

I love how you refer to me as "whoever" or "someone".

Of course you'd think what I said was stupid, even though it made more sense than what you've been saying, since we obviously disagree. But I guess you haven't been living in the real world much to know that people judge you on what you wear. Oh well, I guess you just need sometime to have a look at reality.

Notice that I said "reality", as in the present, the 'now', today, in our contemporary world, where most slave owners have been 6ft under for quite some time now. And yet, many people still live in a past where they think a White person is discriminating them because they got fired due to their own incompetence.

Racism exists, sure. But it's because of dumb people who keeps on saying "it's because I'm Black/Hispanic/Asian isn't it" that make things worst off than they are.

don't forget that people also get discriminated against because of age also... i remember when my boyfriend and I went to this restaurant to have dinner... we received some really bad service... but older people received better service.. I guess it's because they think that since we are young that we don't have money and won't tip well... so when we left... we left a 17% gratuity tip.. and a note saying "don't discriminate us just because we are young, we have money and know how to tip.." something like that...

[Chlorie]

I think that blak people should not even realli be saying the word nigger because it is a vulgar word pretaining to ourselves as blacks and that's why it's that much more racial when other races say it. I believe that blak people shouldn't be saying it to each other but for as long as they do...we shouldn't have white people saying it also. I think that leeeza702 needs to read a black history book...or at least go thorough the black struggle...uz' when you are blak most blaks have to try to be ghetto...they have to walk, act, dress, and even eat certain things...go to special stores to be cool or hip or w/e!! You people don't understand the pressure it can put on some people...cause to white people we are atomatically labled "urban" or "hip-hop" or even "ghetto" But that's not all blak people...

Cute! And yea, sure, people can discriminate a person for anything and everything these days... i.e hair, fashion, attitude, hobbies...

i didn't read anything else you wrote..
sometimes i don't want to go back and look at the username
nothing personal

Of course, of course, just making an observation. But I tend to read everyone so that I can understand their point of view... but even that's hard sometimes.

I've never recieved bad service on account of age... Hmm...

Once in a Salt Lake City sandwhich shop, me and a friend tipped $2.00 on a bill that was less than $10 (in other words, over 20%). We gave 8 quarters, and arranged them in a smiley face. It was fun.

i think that you need to go read read all of the previous posts!!!!! And exactly why do I need to read a black history book??? I never said anything about the black struggle??? the only thing that I have been talking about was... the whole "nigger" word... (which I am not trying to start up a convo about again).... and I'm pretty sure that they don't have in history books why it's okay for blacks to use the word and not others.... so please... shut the hell up... you are late, we already established the whole "n" word situation... so screw you...

[sikdragon]

hey? maybe it's because we black people didn't enslave white people and then treat them like shyt after slavery was over..

Brownsugar u did say that don't try and argue with me, Cuz im right. The egyptians didnt just treat the jews like shyt, they have been trying to slaughter every last one of them since forever. i.e. the 6 day war.

you guys are just stupid. quit arguing and read my post, its on the top of page 7. Maybe y'all has forgotten Tupac, he aint dead so remember what he fought for.

[ComradeRed]

Sikdragon, Israel attacked Egypt first in the Six-Day War...

[sadolakced acid]

why is it stupid to call you what you call yourself?

if you call yourself your royal highness, i will call you your royal highness.

it's simple. racial slurs are degrading. if you use it on yourself or use a slur that applies to you, then i will use it on you.

if you don't respect yourselfs, don't expect others to repect you (pl.)

[LaRevolucion]

Maybe this doesn't really apply, but people tell me that I'm trying to be asian just because of the fact that I like anime and I have asian friends. It's ridiculous!

[kandi-chan]

you guys are just stupid. quit arguing and read my post, its on the top of page 7. Maybe y'all has forgotten Tupac, he aint dead so remember what he fought for. 

lmao tupacs dead. but hes da best!!!! and who exactly were you directing ur stupid comment to?

why is it stupid to call you what you call yourself? and blah blah

its as this person said>>

There are personal names, names u use just for ur self like how ur mom cud call u poo-poo(Yes my mum calls me poo-poo) or something but if sumone off the street sed it, u'd take it into offense. Then there are names everyone calls u.....a nickname or ur birth name(Alana is usually wut evryone calls me). And then u may even have a religious name (like people in the mosque call me Medina

and whoever sed that comment about there are some ppl who fit those specific racial slurs or whatever..thats not true..no1 fits the word "nigger" or "chink" or "spic" or "wetback" or anythin like dat..NOBODY.

and brownsugar is right about BlondE x Babii..ur kinda late there

and I'm pretty sure that they don't have in history books why it's okay for blacks to use the word and not others

well i'm sorry miss, all the history books i've seen don't explain that... and you too should read the other posts ... you are late also, we already established the whole "n" word, I was just replying back to that person's comment... everyone that's been active in this topic understands already... oh, and when you put... are "prolli" uhmmm.. if there ARE books.. then you shouldn't have put PROBABLY it's either... there ARE books (when you know there are books)... or there probably are books (when you're not sure if there are books)...

actualli yes i meant there probabli are b00ks on dat...but actualli there ARE. and actualli im not late about this whole n word situation and i dont need 2 read back to the other posts because maybe u dont remember that i was debating with you on that whole issue. so hmm maybe u need to read back to refresh your memory? but anyway okeydoke.

First of all, I wasn't even trying to carry on about the whole "nigger" thing... I was just responding to your comments from earlier...  and about my whole b*tches and hoes comment... I guess it might be different where you're from, but over here (Las Vegas) a lot of girls call each other that as a joke... not because they were/are one (b*tch, hoe, or slut) have you ever seen "13 going on 30"???... they do that bit also, they would call each other "biatch"... whenever they were talking to each other... so that is what I meant. I was just stating (NOT TRYING TO CARRY ON THE CONVERSATION) that that situation is kind of like the "nigger" situation.  

oh aight my bad 

yes I remember that we WERE debating on this issue... note the word "were"... notice how after that post above, I stopped talking about it (carrying on the conversation)... but then you come along and start saying.. if you don't understand then you'll never understand again... when i thought we already established that I DO understand you guys have said...but I still think it's dumb...

I was only responding to Chlorie's lame comment about me needing to read a history book... and going through the black struggle... because the only thing that I've ever talked about was the whole "n" situation, and I didn't think there were history books about that... because all the history books i've seen/read didn't have that... but hey.. since there are books on it.. I'm not afraid to admit that I was wrong... so my bad on that ... but it still pissed me off how Chlorie said that I need to read a history book... I'm a junior in college... i've had how many history classes already?? 2 in high school, and 1 so far in college... I've also done a research paper on segregation in schools against blacks... (Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education) I know that I may not know a lot about black history, but I do know some things about it...

[BlondE x Babii]

send us a book and well all shut up

[kandi-chan]

I'm not afraid to admit that I was wrong... so my bad on that

its cool...its cool

send us a book and well all shut up

oh yeah rele..ima waste money sendin a b00k out 2 each n every one of yall? makes sense doesnt it? how bout u go get off ur butt and go l00k for one if you still need 2 kno the answer. but then again..have we not established that everyone in this topic understands alredy? anyhow...im just sayin there are b00ks about it. u wanna read em..den go find em
