shrug . . . I never saw the original posting, never saw any repy to such a posting (other than the one in question) and there's no [comment deleted].  My guess is that it was made up.  Either way, it's very revealing and indicative

My year-old niece is offended by everything Karl says.  Since this a happy family site, should we get rid of his posts?

If your referring to the deleted post, and the quote I had, of kefak1337. I saw it, the reason why it's not there now is staff deleted it(I'm assuming), and henceforth I removed it from my post didn't need that to stay around fueling the flame

   Ok, I think we made a mountain out of a medium sized hill here. Face it, there are people that are just ignorant and were brought up that way. That guy who said it is probably watching these posts and laughing because of all the attention this topic is getting. Hopefully, he got his in the end.

The thing is, Karl, you've decided this is a cut-and-dry issue, and because you're obsessed with making everything about you, this is your cue to wade in with the definitive statements about what is happening in this topic.  But, this entire discussion is far from being obvious, as the extensive literature on word usage, jokes, slang terms, offensive terms, even community and belonging, and then etc etc, should attest to.  But you just have to jump in and whine about yourself, rather than addressing the topic.

  Reb, that's why I try to avoid conversation with people whenever possible, because everything these days is offensive to someone somewhere in some kind of group. I don't trust people and I never have, and probably never will LOL

   LOL!!! I just saw that clip the other day and I had to watch that again just now. it's hysterical. I know Prodigy is huge in the UK but he was only a one hit wonder in the states.

Yeah ... not to open Pandora's box again, but how many forums have been dedicated to the true meaning behind "good game"?  And how many of the posters found even that to be offensive?

LOL, in this topic?  It should be deleted anyway.  I've never seen so many N words before!


But as a previous post pointed out (and pardon the alliteration), there is a distinction between using the word as the focus of the discussion and using it to insult someone.  Without such a distinction, how could one even convey what it was that was said?

ChessMarkstheSpot

  Reb..LOL!! It does make you feel..weird doesn't it? Everytime I see that guy do his little dance and rubbing the little mini mohawks he has, I just start laughing incredibly hard.

ChessMarkstheSpot

  "Boys N the Hood" and "New Jersey Drive" ...every other word is that one, or every Tupac song, you hear that

RedSoxpawn

Just Tupac songs?

All the blacks I know take that word as an insult no matter what the context.  And I have known a ton of black people in my time.  BTW, they also hate being referred to as African-Americans.  They just want to be called Americans!  Or people!  We really need to get rid of all the racial labels if we are truly concerned about getting rid of racism.


 Would this mean I would never again be called  honkey, white trash, redneck, hillbilly, inbred, gringo , etc ?
