dilemmas of ethics and morals in entertainment

Words dont belong to any group, observe that for centuries the young ones use some words to recognize their group of belonging and take distance from the elder ones ... when the grown ups find the meaning and use of that word the youngs classify as that word is out and find/invent a new one. With gansta words is the similar.
For me there's not offensive word just by itself or by the colour of the one who says it. It's the direction of the sentece what converts a speech in offensive or not.

...To me, it's just a derogatory word for a black person.
People try to tell me Nigga' and Nigger are differnt meanings. They are the same word, one is just slang.
If I don't like a black guy and get into an argument or whatever, I won't hesitate to call him a nigger.
If I am friends with a black guy, I won't call him a nigga'.. I feel it is disrespectful. ANd will only use it to get to somebody. Thats the only time I have ever used it. Or if I was telling a joke or something.

Well if you find that word insulting you just don't use it unless you wanna insult someone that's ok, the problem comes when you use it cause you think it's not insulting but the listener does. i still think is just a word not as fancy as Grone.

That's a good analogy Fap...Yours too, Logic...

Question though Logic...If you are in an argument w/a white guy, and want to piss him off, what do you call him..?

I'd call him susan. the white man hates to be called susan,

and often will actually point out "yo, my name ain't susan!"

then laugh and tell them they were adopted.

then they may likely tell you that they weren't adopted.

and if you say "sure, susan... they just don't want to hurt yor feelings."

the confusion sets in, and you can usually avoid the fight, or get a few extra hits in first.

man, i can't wait till boondocks comes on again. that show cracks me up.

CDR! Indeed, but if you want to be just a bit offensive you can use Susie or Sue, but do never use the Susan!
