Scary thought, but I can't disagree.

okkkkkkkkkkkk
and I know what I was saying about Snoop and BET supporting him, they even have a tv special coming on about trying to help him out. I wanted something to say to prove that I would walk up to somebody family that Tookie killed and say that he should be freed. It's not like there are only one person in the nation that thinks he should be free.

Ok, well, I was thinking about this today, and I really would like an answer: Why do black people call each other "niggers" or "niggas" when they find that word discriminating and offensive? I think that question was raised a few times, with no answer.
Cuz I'm thinking that's one of the reasons why there's so much discrimination against black people - that their own race is abusing it

Anyone care to answer that? Preferrably a negro? I'd really love to hear what you have to say about that..

I like the fact that if a black person is racist towards a white person, it's called "reverse racism"
Sun Dec 11, 2005 4:25 am
Blakc people are racist, more than maybe white people right now. Black people call white people crackers and shit all the time, ok maybe not all the time, but more than a white person says nigger or nigga.

You cannot generalize like that, personally I believe it is al based on the individual's level of education.

Which encyclopedia did you read that in? 
OK, lemme attempt to answer cyanides question.
Ok, this is gonna come out kinda rough cuz it's hard to give a to-the-point explanation on this, but nigger has hardly ever been used to describe someone other than a black person. So when a black person calls another black person a nigger, it almost immediately eliminates racism for the possible reason that he was called a nigger; mainly because he is no different than the person who was called a nigger.
So basically,
Ruff Ryder: Whats up nigger
Mafia: You aint no different (so it doesn't matter)
If you can understand that...
BTW, Riot, do Xbox 360s play pirated games?
Sun Dec 11, 2005 6:13 am
that really doesnt make a difference to me. Honestly, I don't give a shit if it's a black person or a white person, I'll kick either one's ass if thye call me a nigger (well, maybe not a black guy's teh first time cuz he didnt know, but after that he's gonna get an ass whoopin). I don't know if it's just the word's history with me personally or maybe I'm the only black guy with the common sense to see that it's retarded to treat one person differently than another when they call you the same word, but it pisses the hell out of me.
Sun Dec 11, 2005 6:29 am
guess also depends on how the society is and stuff.
never heard of this tookie guy though

I would kick someone's ass too if they treated someone different because of their skin color. But calling someone a name isn't excatly treating someone different.
And I don't know if Xbox 360's play pirated games...why?
Sun Dec 11, 2005 8:41 am
no, I mean most black guys treat the people who call them the name different. Black people don't want to be called nigger by a white guy because it's racist, and racism is treating a person differently because of the color of their skin. but really they're doing that same thing when they get angry at a white guy who calls him nigger than a black guy says it and he doesn't care.
Sun Dec 11, 2005 8:51 am
Ok answer this: Why is it racist when an asian or white person calles or says nigger to a black person?
Why do Latino people get to say or call a black person nigger? I mean Pitbull (the rapper) says nigger he's Latino.

That's exactly what I mean.

Got it. But it doesn't eliminate racism if a black person calls a black person a nigger at all. All it does is acknowledge the other person is
black by calling him a nigger, but you're singling out that person as black or as a race rather than acknowledging him as a person. Why not say, "Hey Joe" (acknowledgement by name) or "Hey man" (acknowlegement by person) rather than "Hey nigga" (acknowlegement by race). By doing that, black people are actually being racist against their own race, which has been flying under the radar for so long since people hasn't been recognizing that. You don't hear white people calling each other crackers, or Asian people calling each other chinks, because they're smart enough, no offense, to recognize that calling each other in racist terms is idiotic in itself.
Sun Dec 11, 2005 10:36 am
Thanks cracker. (That's not racist) Huh huh huh huh cuz we're both white huhuhuhuhuhu but wait here comes a nigger (that's racist) cuz im not fucking black. But hey look there's Jerome the black guy calling his friend smokey (another black guy) a nigger.. shit that's fine tho!

In Australia, the same kind of thing has happened with the term "wog". It's a racial slur but a lot of folks of Greek and Macedonian descent here in Australia use it to describe themselves in the same sort of way. I'm white so my perspective on the whole thing is basically guesswork, but I always assumed it was sort of rebelling against racism, attempting to render the slur useless by making it a term of belonging (affection?) within the group of people it was meant to offend.
Sun Dec 11, 2005 12:07 pm
hm... its not offensive if u use it on urself or people who are the same descent.. or smt.
cause i make jokes to my asian friends and they are fine, but if someone else says similar things to them, they go off.

Funnily enough, if it was meant to render the slur useless, then it shouldn't cause offense regardless of which race says it. In other words, I see the intent to render it useless, but it fails because it still remains a degragatory term.

That's what I mean. If they're ok with the same race saying it because it's "not racist" but they go crazy if another race says it, then it's hypocritical because it's the term that's offensive regardless of what race says it. And if it's not offensive
because of the race, then that's racist in itself!

I agree completely, though perhaps I'm wrong about the motivation.

I sort of agree, though I'd guarantee there's alot of college educated people who are racist as hell. I mean I've heard of judges being in the KKK... things like that.
Sun Dec 11, 2005 2:10 pm
Judge in KKK is just wrong. Id kill that judge straight up.
