    Are YOU serious that I "labeled him as hating all black people"?

    I really do like you as a person and we have a lot in common. But you are really, really wearing on me with your diatribes against Muslims and blacks and other ppl who you seem to hate for some reason. I put you on ignore when you/me first showed up here. I hate to put you back on ignore.... but really. Why is it necessary for you to be such a hater?

    You called him a racist for stating the origins of the word.

    Why? That isn't racist. Do you do it to impress the other haters and liars here?

    Seems when you are asked to back up something, like why you label this poster as a racist and Ms. Michigan as a "fascist", you don't like it very much. You assassinate the characters of others and no one is supposed to question what you base it on?

    Saying the N word is not inherently racist is fighting words. Don't go there. Anyone who tries that being racist.
    I wrote honkey because it's basically funny and to mock the absurdity of parrot guy. That is inherently racist. If I say otherwise I am lying.

    Why can't you people be fucking honest for once...ever. Breaking out a dusty tome to defend the N word. Please. YUGE eyeroll.

    Inversion fallacy. This is YOUR problem. YOU are the one being a racist by bringing up such models and accusing others of them.

    The only way you can take that as fighting words is to be racist yourself.

    The theory used to be that the more you mock those words the more their power is lessened. That's of course until the race hustlers got involved and realised that it was an excellent way to intimidate and humiliate.

    Looks to me like there's two completely different sets of rules...and clearly different "definitions"... when it comes to defining "racist" here...how shocking, right?

Anyone who has read any books written in the 1800s or through mid-20th century about the South has seen the word used. Sometimes they say "nigra(s)", the more educated used "Negro(s)", sometimes "darkies," but most often "nigger(s)." It began as shorthand for African slaves, then post-Civil War it became a pejorative. It's part of a lexicon of ugly words to describe those who were other -- spics, greasers, wops, coons, wetbacks, chinks, kikes, dagos, pollacks, krauts, slants, micks, redskins, injuns, gooks, spooks, squaws, honky, crackers, ragheads, towel heads, nips, etc. Racists and xenophobics use the term to make sure that we understand that those ppl are not like us... and inferior to boot.

    From Wikipedia: "Nigger / nigra / nigga / niggah / nigguh
    (U.S., UK) An offensive term for a black person. From the word negro, which means the color black in numerous languages. Diminutive appellations include Nigg and Nigz. Over time, the terms nigga and niggaz (plural) have come to be frequently used between some African-Americans without the negative associations of nigger."
    THis isnt the origins of the word. I posted the origins. Wiki doesnt go into the origins.

    When someone denies that an offensive racist word or term is racist and offensive, he is pretending that using it is not hurtful to those the word(s) target. I'm sure you've seen ppl here call each other "cunt"... and then argue that it's just a word. Do you agree with that? Does it bother you to be called that word? What if someone in real life called you that? Do you feel like since they're "just words," you'd be good with calling a woman you see in the store wearing a burka a "Muzzie" or "Muslime"? Would you call out to your server in a restaurant, "Hey, nigga, get me some more Coke"?

    Talk about inversion fallacy. This is a typical statement by a racist -- "No, YOU'RE the racist for pointing out that *I* am."

    You need some new material. This schtick is a fail.

    Yes, Ms. Racist.... and you would know! Remember your favorite racist joke? Ignatov had to tell you not to tell racist jokes on the forum. Public scolding, how humiliating.
