I am glad the thread is going the direction it has gone, it was what I was getting at  Seems many share the same point of view.

Don't relate the word to black people. Problem solved. The word wasn't invented to describe a black person. If you want to attatch the word nigger to a black person, keep it to yourself. If you use the word nigger as a descriptive word for something of less than good quality, go for it. The people that have a problem with that word obviously still think that to be a nigger means to be black. Or to have a niggered item, is to have a black(?) item...... So, if you are one of those people, just keep to yourself while the rest of the country moves on with thier lives. Past is in the past. Dwell on it if you must, but do it quietly, because in all honesty, dwelling on it, and playing the race card is a WAY BIGGER problem than racism is anymore. That's the truth right there. |

This thread reminds me of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vofXcC0rj4 Fast forward to 2:45 for the relevant part. Personally, I don't use the N word or any other racial slur. It's offensive, demeaning, and really does nothing but cause further tensions as seen in this thread. I feel the same way when people of any race use a slang word for their own race. The English language has so many words, there's much better ones to choose from. |

Rig rocker, You seem like a nice enough guy and I wasnt questioning how stand up you are. I was mearly pointing out how sensitive people are anymore when it comes to being PC. In the thread he didnt use the "N" word to describe a person he used it to describe his poorly engineered base on the drill press yet you took offense to it and made a big deal of it. He didnt mention anything about a black person in his thread nor did he say he doesnt like black people but you made him out to be a racist. Think of how many ways you can use the "F" word. To me it seems the same thing anymore. If people wouldnt make such a big deal about it, it wouldnt be a big deal anymore  Last edited by dominator1; 11-26-2010 at 04:15 PM. |

It's not hard not to use the word is it. I mean it's not like it's the start of society crumbling because a few people have asked that a certain word not be used. Thing that gets me though is it's white people standing up for something that MIGHT upset a FEW black people. We've had a black guy come on and say it doesn't offend him, if your wife or daughter come on and say it offends them then fair enough. In my experience though people second guessing others causes far more problems than any 1 word can. But then i'm a Brit so all this sort of stuff just seems a bit crazy to me. Had one American mate upset because i called him a "yank" He said it was a inaccurate racist remark |

Ok it's not factually or historically correct as he's not from that part of the woods, but what i'm saying is, if people want to get upset they'll find something to get upset about. | |

I know I was joking. And yes you are right. Almost anything can be taken the wrong way by someone who is looking for a reason.

well i think and this is my opinion is that we should SHOOT and KILL the soft poeple that give this country a bad name,like all the people the over react and complain about everything.if you think this is a bad thing to do keep ur mouth shut no one wants to here it . thats my opinion well im getting off topic so.. well my black friends dont mine me using the word they fine that word a discription of a tipe of a person that the word was thought be be true of the blacks, but wasnt. so we use the word as if u would ''jackass'' or ''dip shit'' not a hate word tord black people more of a hate word tord stupid ****s lol i think people should interpit it that way it works well and bty i ant no hippi im a gun totin white trash american just an advanced one. you can stack it berry it or spreed it around but u still wind up with a lot of shit
