Wow makes so much sense that its thought as a term of respect. I guess when black people were slaves back in the day the owners were just trying to be respectful by calling them that.

Damn media always spinning stories to fit their agendas! We weren't oppressing them, we were actually just nice guys trying to help blacks out by giving them a place to live and a job! We've been smeckledoorfed!

Then why do blacks beat the shit out of white people who say the word? Just because it is a term of respect between you and your pal.....Doesn't mean that is the accepted ideology of it.
Where I'm from, and who I hang out with, I can say *****.

If anyone knows my past, they should know I'm good friends with quite a bit of black people. Most of my best friends are black. Do I get beat up for it? Nah. Sure I don't say it to anyone, but when I say it, it means you have my respect.

So this thread has quickly turned into a back and forth discussion about the proper usage of racial slang.

I think it's best off we leave this discussion because it's going nowhere fast.

Welcome to the SHL.

I for one agree with both sides. I can see how some find it disrespectful and I can see how some see it as a simple way of saying "bro" or "buddy". Black people say it amongst each other all the time! Everyone is right here imo. It can be used as a very hateful word and no one would just walk up to someone and say it, not even a white person simply because it's a poor, negative word. It is, however, used amongst alot of todays youth and black population as a slang for "Brother" or "homie" etc.

I agree that we shouldn't be throwing the word around here. I hope we ban the use of "cracka" then too. I hate seeing one side always bitch and complain because there's hate towards them. For example, gay pride parades or things for that... why don't we have "straight parades"? Another example, everyday I see posts on facebook about the "not so pretty girls" who are judged, are fat or ugly etc. What about the guys...? The guys who are self conscious about their bodies? You never see that shit and that's just how the world works.

It's honestly sad but that's how it is. Society and those in power pick and choose what is good, bad, acceptable and not in this world. We just live in those guidelines.

Anywho, alike Tanner, this is my only post. Shit storms are no longer my forte. Smile

I do have to ask, what, I can't call someone a cunt now? I see people calling each other fucker, bitch, dumbass, and all kinds of other derogatory names. How far is this going to go? Cunt is just another word. Who gives a crap.


Than calling someone a ***** shouldn't be offending as well, lol ;D

The argument could be made that one is an attack against a person, the other against a race. I understand the argument being used from both sides, but while some people are ok with it, others quite clearly aren't.

I agree with that 100%. I agree that some kind of reform was needed on the boards, but I think a LOT of these penalties are a bit too much. Most of us are relatively grown adults, there really shouldn't be a need to censor certain words here just because people get upset by them. If it's legitimately meant in a super derogatory and... attack-y? way. I don't like the idea of having to watch my language online, tbh.

to be fair, EMS's post was offensive to anyone appreciating decent grammar...

Aren't you supposed to capitalize the first letter of a sentence? Tongue

And the argument against cunt is that it could be used as an attack against an entire gender.

COULD it be used like that? Yeah. The question of "is it" is what should come into play here, but apparently that's not the case anymore.

Still can't believe someone calling someone ***** warrants a suspension but saying that an entire race of people deserve to die and meaning it isn't.

I realized this with a lady GM, I felt pretty shitty about it actually. Have refrained from using it since or any personal attacks if I can help it.

I like Birks, I don't agree with the comment but if someone says something like that they obviously harbor some deep resentment. Is it ok for him to feel that way?

Yes, but letting go would be better. Some of my best friends growing up were German, I have no issue with them on a personal level and their country has been rather model since and my friends have admitted to be quite embarrassed by it, so I hold no grudge, what exactly did they do to me.

I am not sure what exactly causes Birks to feel that way personally, but I agree comments like that have absolutely no place on a public forum.
