Every black person I know over the age of 40 does not use the word and they all hate that it is used at all, especially by fellow blacks. They are pissed that young blacks think that by using it "takes it away" from anyone. If you're so stupid to think that's the case, then there's no use talking to you about it.

Then the members of the African American community can continue to discuss it amongst themselves and you can continue to sit on the sidelines and deal with it.

Wait that was a serious answer by you?

I mean, you can keep crying about reality and fighting the good fight if you want.

I will continue to find it humorous that this pisses you and Mili off so much.

Like I said, the debate about the word's use is something that can play out within the African American community.

In the mean time, everyone else can deal with it.

Wrong. Whether you like it or not, this deals with all of society. No section of society, regardless of past history, gets to dictate what other sections of society can say or not say, or state that they alone has exclusive rights to anything. So, you, young white man, are the one who can deal with it.

Actually the debate should be carried out in the American community. And I have not and do not intend to use the word. But unless African America has become an independent nation with an independent vocabulary, then the proper venue is the American community.

Lessons in dealing with it from Mr. I'm-in-My-Sixties-and-still-get-pissed-off-to-the-point-of-calling-people-names-during-online-arguements. I'll govern myself accordingly.

Yep. And America has decided that it's a much bigger deal when a white person uses the word than when a black person does. Deal with it.

Okay, then because lynching. That happened within your lifetime.
Click to expand...
Yep, lynching did happen during my lifetime. Take a guess at what the last word those poor victims heard before they died? You think that young blacks, who never have had to face that sort of fear and outright terrorism, using that word somehow makes it OK to do so?

Buckeye86 said:
Or because unarmed black teenagers get shot to death by police. That happens a few times a month.

Or the white girl who got jumped and beaten by a group of blacks in Baltimore, or the off-duty white cop attacked and shot seven times by a group of black kids? Does that "negate" the black "ownership" of the word?

Your anger about this issue continues to be hilarious.

I have no anger about the issue, but lately I have some anger at the absolutely stupefying idiocy displayed by several members of BP.

The word is heinous...period. Deal with it.

Deal with it? Coming from a person whose sole argument seems to be a person should be judged by their color? (If a person from X race does it, it's bad and should not be tolerated. If a person from Y race does it, then it is acceptable.) Sorry, I was taught people should be judged by their words and actions, not the color of their skin. Although there is a word for people who make judgments based on skin color. Deal with that.

I don't know. That's up to them to decide. Whatever their decision, you get to deal with it.

Wrong, young white-guilt buck. The word is in the English language, which if you happened to have forgotten is the national language. It's not some regional or cultural dialect, nor does it belongs exclusively to any single ethnic group. No person, regardless of their background or history, is going to tell any other person that "I can say this but you can't because of something that maybe some distant relative of yours might have done decades ago to someone who may or may not even resemble me."

:lol:

I don't have skeletons in my closet regarding this issue and don't need to thump my chest on an online forum about how non-racist I am.
