I have one thing to say: Wigger is not in the same category as nigger or fagot. Whereas nigger is a derogatory term for ALL black people and fagot is derogatory for ALL gay people, wigger describes a very distinct group of people who generally STRIVE to be that way. Black people don’t choose to be black, gay people don’t chose to be gay.
the faggot thing is out of respect for gay people, because i know some people still don’t accept faggot as a general term.
But i didn’t call those people niggers because under the circumstances and where i was in these situations, i could have ended up in the hospital.
in the end, we can call each other whatever the fuck we want, its the government (at least in the US) who are really the true discriminators, the fact that my uncle still can’t get married and reap the social and legal rewards of marriage in 2010 is absurd.
thats the beauty of free speech though, even if you guys (the majority) disagree with my views, i’m still entitled to share them.
EDIT: who keeps making these flame threads?
Fine then. The black people who act like niggers shall hence forth be called nwiggers. Court adjourned!
I am fairly certain that you understand what I mean unless you have never lived in the same vicinity of a fairly large African American population. If you have not, in fact, lived in such conditions, I will explain.
EDIT! I did not clarify that I meant that in a large group of African Americans there are bound to be at least a few of these so called “niggers”. It would be the same with a group from any other race. I did not mean for that to sound so racist.
And we’re entitled to call you on your asshattery in respose. :3
I agree on the marriage thing, though.
I’ve lived in a community with a 100% black population (myself excluded). I don’t know what you mean. These people were working families (except the ones who were in the job market looking for work). They supported their families. They washed their cars. They went to church (most of them). They listened to music on occasion. They went to sports games (some of them watched them at home; others had no interest in sports).
JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER AMERICAN I’VE EVER MET!
What, exactly, are you talking about?
You can’t act like a derogatory term. The fact that he believes he is a nigger just makes him ignorant and self-offending person, not a nigger.
Also… the Boondocks… Seriously?
That’s a picture of NAS!
NAS! The most socially conscious rapper ever! Most of his songs are brooding explorations of the dark justifications of thug life and calls to action. And others are calls to make something of one’s life.
That fact that you used one of the finest rappers EVER as the image of the prototypical “nigger” shows what an utter ASS you are.
DELETE POST
Because, you know, the Boondocks is the best place to get resolution to your moral dilemmas. Huey would be ashamed of you. The show is satire, it’s a comedy show, on Cartoon Network. It’s not the well-thought out socially conscious ramblings of Naom Chomsky, or Nas, the man who you obviously point out as the a-typical “nigger”.
Crawl back under your rock.
Oscillating, you surprise again!
Not to try to squelch these revelations, this isn’t a topic on derogatory terms or other such themes. Let’s try to head back onto the topic on this:
Faggot isn’t a nice word.
I saw what you had there. 100% of black people? :fffuuu:
I agree. On to the next moral dilemma.
Traps, transvestites, and hermaphrodites. Public opinion? I say they’re just like anybody else. The only thing that differentiate one person from another for me is their apparent IQ level.
Wow… Somebody just got called out.
Being gay is a characteristic, not a character. If you’re going to judge, then judge people based off of them as individuals, otherwise you’re being an ignorant twit who makes baseless generalizations, further causing all the rest of people around you to be complete fucks to people like me who just try and live our lives peacefully. And to be perfectly honest - I’m gay. I hang around a lot of gay people. The majority of us aren’t flamers, and the majority of us dislike and make fun of people who are that shallow.
We’re. Just. People.
Right. Sorry. I get pulled off topic pretty easily.
I’m no fan of the word but I can see it being used in a non-offensive way, depending on context. But if you use to insult anyone I know hatefully, I will get mad.
I wish gay people could just be free. The news from New Jersey put me in a furious mood for over an hour today. I JUST WANT THIS STRUGGLE TO END! IT’S TWENTY-TEN FOR CHRISSAKES!
QUIT HOLDING US BACK YOU FUNDIE SCUMBAGS!!! YOU RELICS OF THE LONG-DEAD PAST! BLASTED, RUINOUS DINOSAURS! FUCK YOU!
Seriously guys, the more tired you are, the less your brain blocks out its less… good ideas, give him (DYLAN) a break on that one. I told him to go to bed, but he didn’t listen, so if you won’t leave him alone… he was warned.
Passionate, Oscillating.

I just hope this thread will say in this ill-maintained balance long enough for me to get some sleep… Some sleep would be nice… Very nice… I enjoy this argument. Give me a chance to try out my… er, diplomatic skills. I just chuckled to myself, hooboy, sleepytimeitis. Er, that’s sleepy-time it is, not sleepytimeitis… Inflammation of the sleepy-time… That’s just ridiculous!
now I KNOW i’m tired. Night world.
I’m just a person, too, and people have hated me for not being black, not being gay, not being asian, not having short hair, having a long beard, refusing to wear the “trendy clothes”, etc, etc, etc… The list can go on forever. Hate is hate, dude. I don’t feel bad for anyone.
A) yes NAS is a very intelligent person. But a picture says a thousand words. in that photo, hes wearing a shirt that says “Nigger”. If that word is so terrible and carries years of oppression like you pointed out here, why is he wearing it? thats like the pope wearing a T-shirt that says “abortion is awesome”
B) how many times have you been robbed at gun point, how many times have you been to the projects? how many racial/class fights have you seen?
you live in an entirely different world. and the fact that i typed the word nigger into Google and the first image was a rapper wearing a shirt that says nigger on it shows that Nasir bin Olu Dara Jone isn’t so uppity as you think. and an ASS wouldn’t be someone who is willing to die for another person, who he may or may not of called a mean name. give me a fucking break. lifes tough, theres always somebody whos got it worse than you, has less on their plate. thats just how life is, we got to get over things, all people need to, and stop dwelling on the past. remember the lesson, not the blame.
i think the fact that civil rights has gotten to this point kind of excuses calling a drug dealer, or a rapper (not NAS) who talks about pussy, money and weed a nigger is not equivalent to the years of hardship that a certain group faced. get the fuck over it.
she asked what a nigger would act like. i found a way to tell her. i wasn’t saying the quote was gospel, just an accurate description of what acting like a nigger means.
The wording in that last paragraph didn’t work right. I think I know what you’re saying, but it’s put together awkwardly.
BLARGH Night. NOW! Please, try to get back on the GLBT topic?
For example, I know that the college I go to has a GLBT Organization, and to be honest, I don’t think they cause a problem with anybody. I’m pretty sure I have a few gay friends here, and to support my opinion that there’s nothing wrong with it and no reason to condemn them for it, they are some of the nicest, normal-est people I know, except sometimes when I’m walking with a gay couple, they hand-touch. And it’s completely monogamous, as opposed to the kid down the hall who has slept with every girl on my floor (that’s less impressive than it sounds, it only adds up to 6).
I’m pretty sure NAS was being sarcastic/making a statement when he wore that shirt.
