Transtic Nerve Posted September 8, 2001 Share Posted September 8, 2001 I guess it goes back to the idea of Politically Correct. Which so many people lack.... But there are levelsof Pilitical Correctness. Peopel should come to terms with them and leanr to be politically correct for the most part.... even if politically correct may seem to be stupid to some, it is well liked by others, and liek I said, there is an extent... you don't need it for everything, just certain things.

Seifer Posted September 8, 2001 Author Share Posted September 8, 2001 Yeah that helps but for the most part if people would just think before they speak. Dont do something cause everyone else is doing it. Sometimes you even have to question your own parents. In example again from American History X.

Seifer Posted September 8, 2001 Author Share Posted September 8, 2001 I think so, I really cant remember but I think I know what you all are talking about.

Kuja Posted September 8, 2001 Share Posted September 8, 2001 [SIZE=3][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]well i agree... i made it to the first 5 posts then gave up... lol but at work the other day one of the girls said "boy go do... something" i didnt hear what she said... all i heard was the "boy go do" and i am white... but i grew up w/o all those race lines... i mean i would date a black girl or a hispanic/asian anything else if we clicked... i mean a girl is a girl right... she still got that cute butt and a good figure weather she is black white or even purple right? i admit the girl who said this to me was an aussie (no offense people) and i dont think she realized that i take offense to most every racist remark... the only reason i didnt deck her where she stood was my boss was there... if brandon (the only black guy that works when i do) would have been there... i dont think he would be working w/ us anymore... cause he is a cool guy i dont see him (or anyone) as black... but he does have pride in his heritage... and being called a boy is degrading cause of the stupid slave owners back a 150 years ago... well less but still... i take offense to anything from that word to white trash to asian remarks or anything... the only thing i dont take offense to is like... country remarks... like ausse yankee brit thou... some of the ones in TX for spaniards are pretty mean... thou i wont repeat them... but yea that doctor was racist...[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seifer Posted September 8, 2001 Author Share Posted September 8, 2001 Yeah I agree with you, I ca not stand remarks about being a redneck or southerner because to me thats classifying me with all the real ones who hate black people and jews and whatever else. Thats why I become very poed when some says that to me. Its every where here. We had a guy a hurch one day thator preacher made leave cause he was in our class telling us that all blacks where bad. One girl said she like this asian guy at school. He said why would you like one of them sand ni$%$'s. Its everywhere. The only thing you can do is either ignore it or stand up to it.

MysticGohan Posted September 8, 2001 Share Posted September 8, 2001 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by *GaLxY-GiRl* [/i] [B][COLOR=purple]How come African Americans can call each other and themselves the N word....but get offended when someone of another race calls them it???[/COLOR] [/B][/QUOTE] You must be an idiot. I am sorry, but that's the stupidest question I've ever heard in my life. Seriously, think for a minute. African Americans don't call each other niggers. There are like this: " what up nigga " or " what up nagga ". No African American calls themselves "niggers". Eh, you people make me ill. Yes, it's okay for African American's to call each other niggers or whatever they like to call themselves, that's just me. But I do find it quite bad if a white person calls an African American a ****** because the white man has been quote on quote: " brought up by people to call blacks "niggers". The white race has been the dominate color and will further do so. I am nor black nor white. You can call me Asian , but eh, I am not true to my heritage. I am what you can say a "desi", but not as dark as most. I do use racial words only between my close friends and I. I am always like : " ****, coach ain't playing me because I am black " My black friends don't feel offended by this and nor do I. And when I am with my Japanese friends, I sometimes use some of Japanese racial terms. They never seem to mind,because they know I am just messing around and don't mean it. There's a line between being playful and being serious. I am never say racial terms to offend someone. That's not me. So, you see, there are times when it's okay to say racial terms, but sometimes there aren't. But from the most part, please don't say anything too racial to someone else with a different race. They'lll probably kick the **** out of you and a bit more. I strongly suggest you only say SOME racial terms to your good friends, but only when you're playing around... Well, with that said, I am going to go. I hope you all get a different aspect of racial things to come. :) - Zo Syed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxmagentaxX Posted September 8, 2001 Share Posted September 8, 2001 this is one of the biggest issues in todays society.. not just racism but discrimination in general.. like the popular kid making fun of the nerd.. or the rich kid making fun of the poor kid.. or the straight guy making fun of the gay guy. and a peson making fun of someone because they are different.. uh what are oyu blind everyone is different..... i see it happen everyday.. and it's disgusting.. it makes me sick.. and ithink that all of this is just BS and it needs to stop..

Shagoky Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell, as long as the "N" word isn't meant in a bad way toward me then I'm perfectly fine wit it. Me and my friend would play around where he would call me "****** Girl" and I would call him "Cracker Jack". All in good fun I assure you. But it kinda depends on who you know too. Like MysticGohon said, "say SOME racial terms to your good friends, but only when you're playing around...". And as Far as J-Lo saying it, I really didn't see what the prolem was. A lot of Latino people say that to each other too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cecil Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 I HATE all people that are racisit or they dont like sumthing cause it isnt "normal" but that may just come from the background I comefrom, My Moms a pure Mexinac, my dad's parents and Grandeparnts are all German, Both of which have beens prosecuted at some time in history, Like during world war2, my grandapa was living in a small town where everyone was german and running a fram, than the Goverment came around looking for young guys at the right age to fight, and my grandapa only knew German, think about the problems, and right now, the americans dont like hispanic people cause they think they are taking their land because they want to immargate and get a better life, even the ones that have lived in the south west before anyone was there are being prosecutted. At my school there isnt a problem with racist, cause I go to an american over seas school whcih belongs to the us military. Like for an example their is a girl in a few of my classes who dad is an american and her mom is japenese, they met each other when her dad was stained in japan. But at my school there is a big problem with homo/bisexuals. Everyday i here people calling each other gay and stuff like that. They just go around calling everything and everything gay. It is just so stupid. BTW, i have no clue what N-word you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term "boy" isn't at all racist here in Australia.
