![]() I think it depends on which ones. People often believe that whitey has the power, and it IS true that the power is almost exclusively held by white people. However, it's only a tiny minority of white guys. The rest are just slaves like everyone else. The fact that it's easier for whites to acquire slave status (i.e. get a mortgage) really shouldn't be mistaken for racial priviledge. ![]() The Rev |

Oh for fucks sake people, the word is nigger.
Can we get over the whole 'bad words' bull shit? Watch this and learn.

"If you're white, you're all right.
If you're brown, stick around. But if you're black, get back, get back." --Traditional African-American saying, unfortunately for the most part still true. "The fact that it's easier for whites to acquire slave status (i.e. get a mortgage) really shouldn't be mistaken for racial priviledge." If it's easier for whites to get a mortgage, how is that not racial priviledge? |

He's implying getting a better chance to be indebted is not racial privilege, even though 'the blessing in disguise' still is.

I think the original point had nothing to do with the N word referring to slavery, but a word fueled up with hatred and bigotry. As in, "Muslim", has become a derogatory word in amerika.

So now the president of the United States of America is a Muslim and the Miss USA Rima Fakih too?
Fuck, if I'd be a Christian American I'd start digging trenches and building bunkers around my little piece of the sweet land of liberty. |

THIS is why the "n-word" is offensive. Note the dates.
Google Image Result for http://www.executedtoday.co m/images/Michael_Donald_lynch ed.jpg Reportedly the last word said to Isaih Shoals was NIGGER, before he became one of the murdered students at Columbine High School, Littleton, Colorado, on April 20, 1999. |

One small 'victory' around these parts is people very rarely post 'nigger' as a reply to a post anymore.....
It's a small step, but one that took about 1000 'niggers' a day out of my life.... So great job YaHooka....l now we are basically down to conversations like this now and again. But there is still obviously more headway to make
