    you stirred up shit. i capitulated nothing. there is no need to capitulate when the evidence against you is so overwhelming that your denial makes you look ridiculous.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

Explain a context in which using the word would be respectful, appropriate, or innocuous being used by a white person.
    More white privilege ("I can say, do, think anything, because I'm white), on your part. I'm here to short-circuit that shit.
    What's a "white nigger"?

    Me, saying it to another black, is a universe apart from you saying it to me. If you can't get that...I can't help you. Why do you feel the need to say it, in the first place? That's the question. I'm roughly 1/6 white, which is more than your 1/16...does that enable me to be a member of the "good ol' boys" club, or to exercise "white privilege"?
    How do you figure you are 1/6th ANYTHING? You have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, 16 great-great grandparents. You can be 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, or 1/16... I don't comprehend how you could ever be 1/6th, unless there is some pretty kinky shit happening in your family tree. Which of your ancestors was white? Maybe I can help you figure this out?

    Back to the argument... I don't feel the need to say the n-word, I was just curious as to whether I could, and not be considered a racist. Does it go by your actual skin color... if you look black enough, it's okay? Or is it your bloodline? And does your bloodline have to be pure? I'm just trying to get my mind around this... you claim it's not a racist and offensive word in some cases, and in other cases it is reprehensible... I'm just trying to figure out where we draw the distinctions?

    As for your membership in the good ole boys club.... if you know of such a place and they won't let you join because you are black, the ACLU will be glad to take your case pro bono, as this would be a flagrant violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Also, if you know of any business or institution exercising "white privilege" this can be litigated as well. I wasn't sure you were aware of the new laws, they've only been in effect for the past 47 years.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Since we are doing complicated genetic mathematics... What would you be if 4 of 8 of your Great Grandparents were 1/4 Native American each, one of your Grandparents who were their issue marries a person who is 1/2 Native American... Then your parents meet... And create you?

    That's easy.

    You'd be 1/3

    Excuse me? What black people? Gangster rappers? Uneducated "hood rats"? No one in my circles use the word. I condemn anyone that uses it..black people et al. What makes you think that most black people aren't appalled by its' use? Seems like the only ones using it, are the refuse of society, on both or all sides.

    Dammit... We all know 1/3 doesn't exist! (For those who haven't been here long this is a longstanding board joke).

    If one of your parents was gay, would that make 1/2 gay?
