There is a video of her in OP and it says she goes to ASU. Blond girls, and not too bright ones, are all over ASU.
Don't know why people are so upset about not being able to say the "n-word". You absolutely can. And like everything else in life, you deal with the consequences from the context you say it in. It's just a sound that comes out of your mouth. If you're not smart enough to recognize the situation you're in and the people you're around then it doesn't matter what you're "allowed" to say. Everything is context-sensitive.
To me, I don't care to use it. I just dislike the hypocrisy by blacks who get offended by it when they're the ones keeping the word in vernacular.
Hypocrisy in general. In this situation, it's particularly blacks who have created the double standard.
Mexicans don't call each other wetbacks. Asians don't say "sup, my chink". Was there a logical reason this word with such a horrible history became a freely used pronoun?
True true! If everybody was exactly alike there would probably be some type of prejudice amongst the crowds.
The double standard right now is that it SEEMS the general public is much more sensitive to the word ****** than everything else. Let's just take this board for example. ****** is like the only word that's censored. Why? I mean, I would censor it too if I ran a board, but I would probably also censor a few other words too. Did Steve Kerr lose his job when he let slipped a "Chinaman" while commentating that Rockets' game? No. Do you think he would have lost his job if he said something about black people? You bet.
Yes you can't get upset when Party A changes the meaning of a word that Party B used to suppress Party A. Party A uses it the term as a meaning of closeness, compadre and fearless for those that which he cares about, while at the same time Party B gets upset because they can't use it in the same suppressful way. Don't get me wrong you have the right to say what you want but you also will be held accountable for what you say.
Thank you everyone, asides from the expected useless contributions from Lil Pun and pgabriel, for participating in this thread. It's always nice to gauge opinions on topics that aren't regurgitated from last month's Newsweek or CNN. Without forcing you to think outside of your comfort zone, you would hopelessly ride out your lives to the ebb and flow of the crap your respective political party spits out as puppet happily controlled by an all knowing puppeteer. And while most of you cling to the framework you've been spoon fed to believe is acceptable by corporate standards (aka "American moral values" according to mom and pops), let us not be afraid to break from that equilibrium once in a while when we see hypocrisy or viewpoints that aren't logically conducive. Otherwise, the strings attached to our limbs will forever tell us what to do. He didn't prove your point at all. You forced him to think of a racist term and jot it down as an example of slang that is almost obsolete now because of their respective races not directly addressing it. The world is evolving, people are becoming less and less ignorant due to globalization and the media, which has made assimilation into a politically correct mindset the norm. There is no such thing as a rebel without a cause anymore. Promoting the word only exacerbates the issue, whether you want to admit it or not. It also has a lot to do with the differences between "new money" and "old money", as 50 cent raps about in "How we do". But mentally, you aren't programmed to digest this kind of information.
