do they? i don't! people can think what they like about me.others thoughts are their own.so your not a racist ? you just like calling black people niggers.Mmmmm...personally i'd consider anyone that calls black people niggers to be thrash.unless of course its two black people calling each other niggers,thats a whole different story.
I consider this way of thinking to be a crock of shit. "Racism will continue to exist until the color of ones skin is thought of in the same manner as the color of ones eyes" -Jimi Hendrix I look beyond skin color. It seems that you like to focus a lot more on what color someone is. Am I racist because I used a word that makes you uncomfortable? It takes a lot more than just being black for me to call someone a ******. Just like it takes more than being white for me to call someone white trash. Would you prefer I just say "black trash?" I suppose I could, but I've never been comfortable with the idea of banning a word because it makes some people uncomfortable. "There are no oppressed words, only oppressed minds" -Bob Dylan
personally i'd much rather have someone be an up front racistor bigot than be pc so i know who i'm dealing with. growing up in the south as a cherokee/irish breed with cousins who were black/cherokee my pa taught me niggers come in all colours and trash is as trash does....
i have always thought the way jim describes.eyes, skin ,hair color.ect.the color i focus on the most in everyone,is the color of their souls.personality.the word you used did'nt make me feel uncomfortable at all. thats way to mild to describe it.just made me feel the way it always dose,a bit despairing,like jim hendrix and bob felt,that until the day comes,yes there will always be racism.no uncomfortable is not the word.just in awe that in the year 2013 people still use words and labels that were put on people out of nothing short of plain nastyness and badness so many yrs ago,when black people were taken from their homelands and kept and sold as slaves.they called negros niggers purely to offend,belittle and demean.and this thread is about racism towards all people whatever their race or culture.and do you really believe that theres one black person in here that would'nt find the use of the word ******, even in a pisstake, hurtful towards them and theirs?but of couse like any minority,its not a priority.once the masses go along with it,well that ok then is'nt it. i can feel jim and bob rollin' in their graves.but hope still lives.one day people will wake up and see the color of everyones eyes,cos humanrights workers will never give up the fight.
i've had this conversation wih elders of the black panthers and black members of jimmy's household and the thing we agreed on is that pc only gives racists a blueprint for disguise. if a man is thinking ****** and saying 'african american' he's dishonest and you best be ready for the knife in the back bro.
so would i ranger.thats what the threads about.i'd have a lot more respect for a real racist that admitts ta being one than those who would'nt.also they could then explain to others exactly why they are racists.anyway no upfront!ones yet.define the word ****** in your fathers and your definition.
Read the last few pages a couple of times and still can't figure what you three are talking about. A REAL racist - unlike NP - wouldn't concern themselves with being politically correct. I would wonder why two people who say they are not racist would use a racially derogatory word, and also say it takes a person more than to be black to be called it. Personally, if I want to call somebody anything I don't have to prefix it with a colour. Try it, Ranger and LetLovinTakeHold. E.g: You mother fucking piece of trash.
when i was growing up my dad used the term to refer to trash of whatever color. trash being thieving, dishonest folk of whatever color.
so what did he say then? i read it again and saw the same thing. yeah, that's pretty much the standard usage these days, at least in my experience. especially when i was living in the city. now that i'm back in the country, i still occasionally hear an older person saying it to refer to any black person.
I think the term is too firmly embedded in the history of American racism to be used generically to refer to anyone of any skin color who is a thief, dishonest, etc.
I wasn't saying to you:You mother fucking piece of trash. I was saying that is an e.g of 'name calling' with out the prefix of colour. That might be true. So you and your black 'brothers' would call certain people 'niggers,' while all your black 'brothers' were all being called 'niggers'? Very strange behaviour.
i think if a man is thinking ****** and saying african american,that he's just a piece of racist thrash.
