Finally, I agree w. Samsa on something:
 

many of you here DO use incredibly hurtful language when describing minorities, including Jews, Hispanic-Americans, blacks, and, especially, homosexuals(saying something is "gay" uses a tone of discrimination). Whether the majority of you realize that what you're doing is hurtful is another issue, but can you make an effort to be more considerate? What's scary is that I'm half as old as some of you that I'm directing this post towards...

tell that to the blacks that call eachother nigger

it's "nigga", and it's used to nullify "nigger".

Definitely not the nicest of trends, I agree. I can understand how people who think it's ultra-stupid to call one another that are correct. I can also see how it can be a derogatory term of endearment. Like I could call my friend "bitch", but punch someone else that really meant it. I think I'm agnostic on this issue. hah

it's NIGGAH!

and if i weren't out it would offend me if people said, "OH THATS GAY," but because i am out, i really don't care too much, especially here. some might, though, so watchyaselves!

i fail to see your point.

that doesn't surprise me

why, because you felt like saying something completely irrelevant?

how is it irrelevant

person A says "people sometimes say hurtful things to black people"

person B says "tell that to the black people"

am i missing something?

just because people aren't politically correct doesn't mean that they're racist though. i see a distinct difference between a black person and a nigger, i see a distinct difference between a jew and a kike, and i see a distinct difference between a white person and white trash. besides, you know who your real friends are when you can joke about their ethnicity to them.

it was more like making a topic of "palestinians and isrealis shouldn't fight" and someone says "well tell that to the people flighting in India"

nevermind. it's just a deflection of the point.

uh, no, it's not...

another thing: the usage of the word
"retard" here is ludicrous. MAKING FUN OF THE MENTALLY CHALLENGED is an awful, awful thing to do...

Sure is. And I do it all the time, and should probably replace it.

"you people on a messageboard shouldn't use slurs for minorities so much"

"tell that to black people who say nigger!"

tell me the correlation. the jump is pretty ridiculous.

what the fuck are you on about?

someone said something about racial slurs to, amongst others, black people

i essentially said "even black people cuss black people"

that's the correlation, champ

That's right. It's okay when my friends and I call each other chinks and spicks and stuff, but when someone else calls me or us that, I'd be like, who the fuck do you think you are?

well it's also a sweeping, generally untrue generalization, which makes it even more ridiculous. your counterexample encompassed a whole 5%, max, of blacks. nevermind. you're obviously just not smart enough for this.

the irony

i love how when you're losing the argument you call be stupid...quite beautiful

i didn't generalise about the black gender at all...

i said 'the blacks that call eachother nigger'..implying that it wasn't all blacks, merely a subsection of the population. a fact.

simple enough for you?

tell that to gay people who have AIDS. because all gay people have AIDS. i am extremely relevant and my counterexample rings true.

God, you must be a troll.

"don't use ethnic slurs."

"tell that to a small number of minorities who use ethnic slurs, not everyone here. because as long as a small number of minorities use ethnic slurs on each other, it doesn't matter if we do."

is that what you meant to imply?

no, i meant to imply what i've already indicated about 3 times now...

sorry you can't follow old chap...nevermind

a bigger man would have admitted he was wrong and moved on

but i'm right. your statement had no real point. it was completely tangential.

tell me what a statement addressed to a messageboard about racism has to do with a small percentage of blacks, and i'll concede.

ownt?
