Obama-Wright controversy

[Bilbo Baggins]

Interesting article that I read. Not saying I think it explains everything, but it brought up ideas I hadn't thought about before.

Radical niggers, both of them.

Ok here's a question: do you think you using the word 'nigger' in any legitimizes its use by other people, even if they aren't black? A common argument is that its unfair that black people can call themselves that, and white people can't just joke around with it. Your thoughts?

It's a word. That's all it is. A word that's been, incorrectly, given political power and preference depending upon who is using it. That's just silly.

The fact is, Obama and his nutjob racist pastor are both dangerous niggers.


My question is: What other word in the English language has the political power of nigger?

[Bilbo Baggins]

But its a derogatory term based entirely on race. To bring up old, nasty history, didn't you take offence to Dag using it against you a CC?

Its just a word , let me tell you a story !! The Blacks around Portland Maine were at least middle class while i was growing up. Most own their own businesses or worked with the family , I did not even think about them being Black we were just friends ya know kids having fun. my point is I believe its all environment because none of these people had hep or was rude etc. My first dealings with Blacks in the Army were also pretty normal. I did end up in a Unit that had a few racial incidents , which scared the fucking shit right out of me , i got over it lol. now my youngest son is married to a girl who in 1/4 black and the kids are fairly dark which brings up a lot of fun and laughs at the family reunion every year, I try my best to instill morals and values in the kids and so far so good they love coming here and visiting with Grampy!!
