I had a tally friend in school ... I use to call him meatball wonder if he did not like it ... laugh think he would have told me ... and sure I could have seen it if I went up to one of the blacks in my school and said hey N**ger ... I do see a difference in the older generations then the younger ... might be how you are brought up ... as I have said before very happy ...I was in a school with a lot of different cultures... or I might have turned out very raciest to other cultures ...

I was a t my grandmothers house today and she saw one of her neighbors across the street doing yard work. And she laughed and said "there's (her name) haha stupid nig*er" Now my grandmother and this woman get along fine so why would she make a statement like that ?


How would grandma feel if the neighbor turned around and said "How you doing? You old c*nt!"

I am Polish American descent. A lot of people refer to us as Polacks. That is offensive slang. I don't like it very much.

Msharmony it is called reverse racism
Check it out



I wasn't asking about reverse racism, which is a ridiculous term since racism is racism

I only asked for examples of when its politically acceptable to call whites names,,,,,
yes it is a ridiculous term. I will only say this once as I do not want to get into an argument over this.

IEg: f an African American student called a Caucasian student "whitey"....do you think this student would get repremanded?

Now if a Caucasian student called an African American "******"...Inot only would he get his a$$ whooped but the school would also get involved as this would be considered a racist issue.

I am just pointing out that Caucasians have to suck it up a bit and give minorities some slack for all the many years they were treated horribly because of their color and race.


I see your point but most all ethnic groups were minorities and treated horribly at some time ... they all worked up and out of it and melted into the American fabric.

Thru hard work and perseverance.

Take a look at what the Irish went thru, who by the way, were the first ethic group to be sold as slaves.

In those days we were calls " Micks".. we didn't like that term.. still don't and we do not call each other Micks

words are offensive or they are not. And ****** is a offense word.

But like I said, if Blacks like to call each other a offensive word.. a slang.. one that is know to be degrading.. then that's their choice.





words do not offend without context


if I say 'whats up skinny' to someone who believes and are proud they are skinny, it wont offend

If I say' whats up skinny' to somene who believes they are fat and doesnt know me, they may assume its sarcasm and offensive

if I say, 'whats up skinny' to the cousin that I have bailed out of more problems than we can count, whom I feed when they are hungry, and whom I have called skinny since they were skinny,, even if they are now obese, will most likely not be offended because they are familiar enough in their relation with me to understand its context and origin as it pertains to my use'


best rule of thumb, if you arent close to someone,, call them by their name,,

if you are close,, acceptable terms between you will be obvious and well known between you

hey, if I can be told the best way to avoid being killed by a cop is to just do what they say.....


I can share that the best way not to cause problems with people is to call them by their name unless you are close enough to do otherwise


the relationship and common experience of the speaker with the listener makes a huge difference

As of late, the police could've learned much by talking to Elmer Fudd.

He would've been the first to tell them "it ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun".shades

Advice: don't use those kind of terms in any circumstance; even in a private comment and smiling....

Search the etimology and origin of those terms and you will understand much better. Skins are not white,black,red or yellow ;they are human terms invented in history.

folks.. folks.. I think we all learned here that black people can call each other n*****... its o.k... its a good thing between them.

but white people can't call them n****** because its then taken as a bad thing. And we get in trouble for that.

but we can call each other whitey.. if we want to... but nobody does want to, so nobody does.

So.. all is well.
Because only non whites think about people being white... Hhhhaaa... So called white people put things like culture. country. religion. sex first. There is no preocupation with race. Other than being sick & tierd of hearing it or reading it. Yours & the OP's are the only post I read BTW... 4~5 pages of what... here? Keeping the Obama project alive by feeding the beast? The OP left 2 months ago. I doubt this fuss was his intention. I think he saw a difference in the generations..... like oversenativity now.

how did op leave two months ago when he posted it 07/01?

and what you are describing is white privilege,, which of course doesn't exist

being able to live as the 'standard' the 'mainstream' the 'majority',, means not having to think about your race,, or be judged by it in any way that impacts you
