Society will never stop using offensive words by race,nationality ,religion,ect ect.This isn't Canada where their "thought law" makes it illegal to "offend" or "cause harm to another's feelings". We can't force people to be nice and polite. Being nice or not is each a persons choice
Because MERICA!

There wasn't anything offensive about Darcy's picture. My handle is more offensive than what the picture read,
It's ignorance that offends. On one hand That word in question now a day has been reclaimed and desensitized, a term of endearment,a homeboy.
Then you turn on the tv and see shit like SC flying the confederate flag at their state house. The confederate flag at one time meant freedom, now whether we want to admit it or not represents opposite.
Smh that should gives us all something to think about,

Well said.

Maybe upon further self thought, Im more embarrassed that you said it than offended. I can't imagine myself using the word and not looking like a reject extra from mailbus most wanted. You don't seem too urban yourself and it just seemed ignorant IMO. The majority of clients don't want to hear that. All my post was meant to accomplish was giving you what u wanted : an honest answer about my feelings like you asked for. Feel free to include " no pretzel hoes allowed " in your next post if you don't want me to respond.

I didn't and still don't have an issue with u personally. You don't have to agree with what everyone says to like them right?

All the little sarcastic face palms and bouncing laughing emoticons in your post made it clear u weren't actually looking for constructive criticism. Like" omg hahaha this bitch answered me honestly what an idiot!?" Aaand that's why I called u cunty. Its cunty to say "hey does this offend anyone? Yeah? Well fuck u just don't be sensitive"

The comment "you don't seem to urban yourself and it just seemed ignorant" makes you sound very prejudiced towards those of us rural folks who grew up watching HEE HAW, Green Acres and the Dukes of Hazard, I still wish I had a car like the General Lee.

Omg I loved Green Acres! Really! Lol

Either way, if ignorance is what people think it is, I must say the old adage is true, "Ignorance is bliss." Why would people choose to be angry instead of happy by focusing on all the negative from the past? We are only human I suppose. I like to focus more on the happy things in life which is why I say we should have some laughs!

Anyway, you can call me whatever you want too I know who I am and who I am not and I am not bothered by it at all. I'm totally ok with the person I see in the mirror. I don't need other people's approval.

If u don't need others approval what were you looking for with this thread?

You used emoticons in your direct response to me because something in a different thread was funny?

Yet again I said I actually like u why the sarcasm?

You asked for opinions I gave mine you obviously got worked up over it.

My bad! Let me explain what I meant. It was not sarcastic at all. I just found it funny that after all the posts where I said I don't care about what other people think, you brought up the issue on what the men want to hear in an earlier post. So I was like, didn't I just say I did not care? Lol It was not meant to be sarcastic, although I added the little laughing person cause I had an omgeee moment! It was more for the general public as well. But if it is better this way, I will refrain from adding emoticons on this particular post so you better interpret what I was trying to convey. And I don't have any issues with you, nor did I think you did with me. Did you like my opinions? No and that was that. Several of us just have to agree to disagree. I still stand by mine as I'm sure you still stand by yours. I have always laughed more than gotten angry in situations like this. I was not always that way, but you get to a point where you just think, ahhh fuck it! lol

I've always been amazed by language and words and the power that these made up utterances have over people. Is it a breast a boob or a tit or a hooter? Just utterances. In over a hundred languages. I have never been offended by a word of any kind. I have never had an emotional attachment to a particular word.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

These racial words seem so controversial. But what about spic or greaser or kike or wop or anything? Why is this N word thing singled out among the dozens of derogatory racial words? And what if me and my friends have a derogatory hateful word to describe a race and you don't know it then we can use it all we want? What if I say the N word to a guy who only speaks Farsi? Then I am not a bad guy.It's not about the word it's the about the listener obviously.

Lenny Bruce said there is no such thing as dirty words just dirty minds.

I used to hang out with a real Swami who used to say "We are hurting ourselves constantly by reacting to and accepting suggestions from the outside world". What he meant is that when you know who you are on the INSIDE you will not be affected by what people say about you.

Like if I said NikkiWhite I think you are sexy and gorgeous and smart (which BTW I think she is) does it make her feel good? How about if I said Miss X I think you are hideous and gross and an idiot? Does that mean she will be hurt? Well if each of them knows who they are on the inside then neither comment will even have an effect. The people of color who have been able to rise up and shine in our racist society have always had a deep conviction about who they are on the INSIDE and that is why they have success.
