Anonymous Coward User ID: 17955073 United States 06/30/2013 02:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why don't they do a special on the C word? Cracker is racist. Oh, thats right, I forgot....that's not racist....it's cultural. Quoting: Seagal695 Hypocrisy Yeah, some friend of that Zimmerman trial witness said that creepy ass cracker is not racist at all, it's just how they talk! Ok. So . . . n***** is just how Deen and other southerners talk. HOW is it different?! What the hell is happening in this screwed-up country?! I'm with you ^ This is all part of the plan. Cause a divide, and watch us all fight. Yes, divide & conquer, keep people dumbed-down, etc. Also, and this a very important point: Blacks keep the pot stirred because they do not want to lose their "civil rights" claims status. When a race admits that true equality has been achieved, as it has been here in America, then they have no basis upon which to make legal claims or perpetuate their complaints. But moreover, it's not really about equality - it's about control. It's always been about control. It's a shame that the liberal whites from the late sixties/early seventies did not have the smarts to realize where their pandering would lead. Mike Stivic from All in the Family - perfect example of the type of characters back then who opened their arms and embraced equality (which should be a nice concept), never thinking about where it would lead or what the true agenda was. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42021534 Exactly. I grew up in NJ in a white town. We watched a video about discrimination in health class in 5th grade. Our teacher said that a bad word would be used but to just be mature about it. After the movie we were all trying to figure out what the word was. The only kid who knew was a new kid from New Orleans. None of us had ever even heard it before! |

Do people realize how racist it is to excuse it as "black english?" She's not a bad person because shes inarticulate. She's not necessarily even stupid. But she is INARTICULATE, and when an entire subculture of a specific race in this country is inarticulate, that is a problem that needs to be addressed. That may be part of the reason why unemployment is so high black communities! Bill Cosby has talked about this, and it was a breath of fresh air to many people, because it was something only a black person could get away with saying, but unfortunately the black community as a whole wanted to hear none of it. |

They are taking part in a crime against the people and should go to jail or be tried for treason and publicly... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42542806 Of course they know what they're involved in! They have committed themselves and their careers to obama and the radical left, and the war is on. They've taken Josef Goebbels's and Edward Bernays tactics to a whole new level. But propaganda immediately becomes meaningless once it's recognized as propaganda. And let's face it, CNN and MSNBC have the credibility of Rachael Jeantel at this point. - except for the Bomos who just aren't savvied enough to grasp the entire concept. And this IS war, don't you know. It's just been bloodless so far. But sooner or later that is destined to change. obama and his ilk are working very hard to make sure of this.

If blacks can't understand that they should refrain and refuse to listen to it from their entertainers and friends,then they are no better than the KKK.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 17955073 United States 06/30/2013 04:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've heard Whoopie and others defending their rights to use the word as an empowerment tool. If she and others could open their minds a little to the problem with her statement I think she would understand. Think about it this, whites used the word for generations and for that time it wasn't even considered a bad word. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 708074 People like Whoopie are outright racists who will justify anything as long as it serves a purpose for their "people". I grew up in the south and everyone I knew used the N word and NEVER did they mean it in a malicious or derogatory manner. It was just a variant of the word negro and used to make a point that the person they had talked to or met was black. Why they had to differentiate between black and white, I don't know, but they didn't have any malice in using that word. Blacks got their rights and this word was thrown out if you were to be a "good" person. White people ADJUSTED, it's been decades. There are more white youth today who don't even see skin color when they play basketball with their black friends. As they get older and are exposed to rap music how is it ever going to be reconciled that it's okay for blacks to say it but not for the white kid to say it? Just rapping along or in general use. Blacks are now actually teaching white youth about racism and not in a historical sense, they are teaching in-equality and double standards which will lead to resentments down the line and heaven forbid white kid moves to a new school and says the word (if his former black friends were okay with it). Quoting: Anonymous Coward 708074 Yes, BLACKS are the ones who've perpetuated the whole concept of racism. If whites can't say it, neither should blacks. It's not about WHY it is or isn't okay, it's about everyone's future. If blacks can't understand that they should refrain and refuse to listen to it from their entertainers and friends,then they are no better than the KKK.

But hey your not black Haven't lived a day in your life as a black person in America. It's pretty easy to be snippy when the media Portrays white as beautiful and powerful and everyone else as second class citizens. The one black friend on the commercial as if black people don't go out, as if we are all hoods and vandals. FYI That's the 1% . That would be like showing white red necks on tv and the news all the time and saying look your people look how ignorant they all act. Pretraining black people as the minority when that's not true at all. Yeah we have some bad apples but they are living breathing people too so we as a people but we embrace them, we don't forget them, we don't ignore them because we share the same history. Never for get it. This is our country White and Black never forget it. The N Word has a Image and a perspective you guys will never understand because its never been beat or pounded or seared into a white persons mind that you are second class. You call our music our media Ignorant and inappropriate and un-conformitive but what choice do we have but express freedoms In a Free Country might I add that we as black people once never had. So yes the N Word is was and will be a big deal Considering the facts considering the history Considering still to this day we "The N Words" are seen as second class Human beings when that's not true when we " The N Words" possess the stronger genotype and Began all human existence. Don't get it twisted forgetting your history it makes you sound stupid. Rise up United like the Flag say We are you and you are us. I'm done. God Bless |
