What's up with the N word? Keep it out of the Podium please.

i disagree.

those who do not know the difference are the ignorant ones because they are the ones that get offended.

urbandictionary.com - it's in there like how bostongirl and i explained it, yo.

i didn't read the whole thread but here's what i know.

"nigga" is the slang for "censored" used in a friendly way amongst friends. kinda like "yo homie or hey bro"

whilst "censored" is the derogatory and offensive term op speaks of.

How do mods come down on the word "faggot" since it means a cigarette in some cultures?

Do you think if either were used by say.... a white person in a position of power.... the media would correctly point out the difference?

The really educated blacks I work with never use either. I generally hear this from the youth and little educated AAs. I'm no fan of Obama, but I'd be even more disappointed with him as a person, as a husband, and as a father if he uses either in private.




That is correct.

In a court of law, I think a judge and jury would see no difference. We can debate that all day long, but they're both racially charged words.

I'm curious how the mod staff would rule were people to begin using the word "nigga" with frequency everywhere on SD considering the position that you are in.

well considering Serra and the others are just mods and don't make the rules around here, they are entitled to an opinion just like the rest of us..

Please don't podiumize this thread.

mods are peeeeeeople too

QPLR and I doubt that anyone could learn very much from you, if anything at all.

To avoid getting banned, I'm just going to keep my mouth shut.

Fark off.

Fark off.

So... you object to men using the word "rape" casually yet you casually suggest prison rape as an appropriate punishment for doing so? Really?
