Once again I man the mic, I take a bite, maybe more than I can chew, but thats the price. Gonna exercice a fundamental right, opinion, say what I like. Say what you will, but think twice, not a black thing, a black choice, four hundred years, there's no denial, why must every white man stand trial?
Here I go again, put pen to page, the fat lady soon to take the stage, oppression, not just a black page, a white plague, impressions I get from the black's rage. So many Jews, with too few saved, learn from the tools, fools, in God's name, learn where to look, and who to blame, insanity best decribes the frame.
Time to fix what's broken, this road leads to hell. I chose not my colour, underneath this shell.
Outspoken! You bet your life, ain't gonna take what you won't take from whites.

I don't. I say it all the time. I consider it a general derogatory term for a black person I don't like. I'm not a racist but I will call a black person a nigger if he does something I don't like.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if it weren't for the slave trade, black people would almost all still be in Africa with AIDs and living in poverty?
Not that I'm saying Slavery was a good thing, it was horrible, but it's something to think about.

Yeah, you're really, really wrong. Heres some quotes from the fist couple of Google hits I found:
"the Ancient civilisations of Egypt, Ghana and Mali among others – some of which grew over 5000 years ago – made enormous discoveries in science, medicine, astronomy, mathematics, philosophy, and architecture long before they were known in Europe. Africans had crossed oceans by the time Europeans made their first journey to Africa and some of the European visitors to Africa recognised that societies were just as advanced or more so, than their own. In truth, contributions from Africans and the African continent to the shaping of the modern world are enormous and denied only because of the development of Eurocentric and racist views."
"The peoples of West Africa had a rich and varied history and culture long before European slavers arrived. They had a wide variety of political arrangements including kingdoms, city-states and other organisations, each with their own languages and culture.
The empire of Songhai and the kingdoms of Mali, Benin and Kongo were large and powerful with monarchs heading complex political structures governing hundreds of thousands of subjects. In other areas, political systems were smaller and weaker, relying on agreement between people at village level. As in 16th century war-torn Europe, the balance of power between political states and groups was constantly changing.
Art, learning and technology flourished and Africans were especially skilled in subjects like medicine, mathematics and astronomy. As well as domestic goods, they made fine luxury items in bronze, ivory, gold and terracotta for both local use and trade.
West Africans had traded with Europeans through merchants in North Africa for centuries. The first traders to sail down the West African coast were the Portuguese in the 15th century. Later the Dutch, British, French and Scandinavians followed. They were mainly interested in precious items such as gold, ivory and spices, particularly pepper."

Not that I'm saying Slavery was a good thing, it was horrible, but it's something to think about.
Actually, the slave trade brought a lot of diseases to Africa and greatly depleted the civilizations (not just "tribes") that lived there in terms of population and resources. Then the nations doing the slave-trading placed their colonial systems (and their neo-colonial systems after the independence struggles) that stripped the continent of resources that could have made African nations wealthy and capable of dealing with issues like AIDs and drought. Slavery's consequences were disastrous, as were most of white people's self-interested dealings with that continent

true enough, but not in all instances. the asante, the kongolese, etc., actively participated in the slave trade, but often only after coercion (economic and military), and without selling people of their own ethnicity (usually captives from territorial conflicts)

that's true. even so, the slave trade that the europeans (esp. the british) were involved in was devastating to west and central africa. i was responding to the argument that african american ancestors of slaves are better off than current africans... actually, on average, they are considerably better off, but largely because of how much the european powers fucked the continent while and after exporting slaves

Are you suggesting that all of America's problems are caused by black people? If not, what problems specifically do you attribute to black people
Quote:

Actually, blacks were brought here against their will, and had to struggle against unimaginable bigotry and oppressive laws to have any kind of rights whatsoever.
Quote:

I would imagine people get angry because the word was used by white people to insult black people. In the time when the word originated, white people in America were a lot better off than black people, and were actively involved in enslaving black people, so the word "nigger" just added insult to injury. That's reason enough for white people not to say it, even jokingly.

we can only speculate, but i think that african peoples on the whole would be better off today minus all of the west's introduction of disease, exploitation of resources, and interference in politics, yes. 'better off' in a culturally relative sense - by those peoples' own standards, not the western ideal

So you guys are saying that if we left the Africans to themselves, absolutely NO OTHER CULTURES would have visited their country bringing disease, despite the theory it would have flourished?
And just because it flourished doesn't mean it wouldn't have been depleted of the sources, etc... I mean look at the Middle East.
The real question should be, why do most (not all, but most) black people act like the stereotypical violent, poor, uneducated, gang-banging, "niggers"?
I once asked a black friend I have why she spoke like she was uneducated and why she liked gangster rap, and she said she was proud of her heritage. I really didn't want to get into the conversation more, as I felt I was rude enough asking her that, but why would you want to "preserve" the negative characteristics? Why do they want to speak as if they don't have an education? Why do they want to dress in fashions that originated from prison clothes? Why are rappers like 50 Cent heroes to black children instead Dr Martin Luther King or Malcolm X? All black children hear is the white devil. How their great-great-great-great-great grand daddy was a slave. They are teaching hatred towards whites- meanwhile whites are teaching their children to be tolerant of all races.
Someone in this thread asked "why is it us vs them"?
I don't know, ask them. They segregate themselves. At my job all the black people sit together, talk to each other, and are flat out RUDE to white people when we try to talk to them... one black girl even made a comment to another black girl about how she had no-one to sit by in class because she was the only "sister" in the class. They have this instilled paranoia about white people, which I feel is extremely racist.
I'm not denying there are white supremacists, but a very small percentage of white people are white supremacists. In contrast- a very large percentage of black people are the stereotype. And the black people who do deviate from the stereotype are outcasts in the black culture. The other blacks make fun of them and accuse them of trying to be white.
anyway, a thread like this gets made about every two weeks, and the racist flames fly. so I'm not sure why I even took time to voice my opinion, as it'll probably get me labeled racist.
That's funny, a racist who's gay, lives with a Muslim of Middle Eastern decent, and has a wide spectrum of friends of creeds and color.
so whatever. let the quoting of my post sentence-by-sentence with some debate commence.

i personally was arguing solely from an 'if left to their own devices' standpoint, not arguing about the likelihood that that is possible in a world of aggressive materialist societies. i agree that someone else would have fucked it up, but it's a poor excuse. non-natives i met in hawaii often said about the hawaiian islands, 'the japanese would've fucked it up if we hadn't'. great, so that gives us the right to destroy their system of agriculture and their way of life, bring in foreign plants and animals that destroy their ecosystem, and turn the natives into paupers. 'if we hadn't, someone else would've!' sounds pretty pre-schoolish to me

hmm... this is a big generalization that can't be demonstrated. gang members don't need to act poor and uneducated because most of them are. the violence and all of the negatives result from poor education, poor standards of living, and poor role models, imo, not the inherent flaws of an ethnicity of people

exactly, because they ARE uneducated. There are white people who are uneducated and violent, but whites don't act or glamorize that way of life. There are several black people who are educated and make decent money, but they still act like they aren't. why?

I don't know if you've noticed, but in America, there is a sub-culture wherein it is extremely cool and stylish to pretended to be an ignorant retarded fuckwad. Not limited to any race or social class.

that's right, but you have to agree the "gangsta" movement is much larger.
That's a very weak comparison.

You asked why whites dont glamorize that way of life.I said they have their own version.Size had nothing to do with this.It just might seem larger because of the entertainment buisness. Seeing as how black people are only 12% of the population.

wow...you guys are smart...almost 60% of the words I had no idea what they ment....but I do agree with StonedShroom on that there is so much racism with blacks to whites and in a sence its ok .... it might seem more because of the Gorilla in their genes...and yes Nigger can be any person a white, black, asian, gay, muslim....whichever..it means Ignorant Fuckwad...but for the most part blacks are more racist then whtites...but its ok and even these days more and more stupid shitholes are populating us...every race now it seems is turning "nigger" and I mean that in the non racist sense

My family was huge in into slavery before the Civil War, and I don't owe them shit. That being said, I had a 16 year old white guy call me a nigger (I'm white) the other day. I don't care if you are black, white or whatever, don't call me that shit. Ebonics is NOT A FUCKING LANGUAGE. It's a convenient signal to me to stay the fuck away from you. I once asked a black guy (Who I called Toby, he called me devil worshiper.) what he though of the subjects of "ebonics", and "African-American" and he said ebonics IS self segregation, and since when did it become so bad to be black we had to give it a better sounding name? (I also heard a BLACK man call Nelson Mandela an African-American. No shit.) In conclusion, Black people DO segregate themselves through speech and many other methods. Reparations are retarded, fuck you, thats my money. Cry me a river about all the shit YOU never went through. Black people have WAY higher crime rates. That is why there are more of them in jail. I live in suburbia in the bible belt, and black people get the same education everyone else does, no inner city bullshit here. There is NO EXCUSE to talk that way. Now for the part where everyone calls me racist. Wait for it.... Black people are not as smart as white people. Yeah thats right. Everyone is getting all pissed off at the Human Genome Project because it's reporting findings that some races are smarter than others. Don't like it? So fucking what. Asians do math better than white people, and white people do politics better than black people. When I told this to my friend Damian (Toby) he replied, So? were fucking all your women so we'll breed some stupid into you soon enough. Damn, good answer...

Funny story:
One time I was having dinner with three other Shroomerites at the Outback Steakhouse on 23rd street. It was me, electrode/Burke Dennings, MeatSpace, and Krishna, and in the booth next to ours sat a black family of about eight having a good old time, as were we.
Then we got to talking about the Shroomery amongst ourselves and we were discussing the Pub, and the rules in the Pub, and whatever. And we ended up talking about the situation where there's a thread in the Pub about the word "nigger", and how some people overreact and can't even have a discussion about the word because they don't want the word spoken.
Well anyway, one of those moments happened. Those unlucky moments when you're saying just the wrong thing at just the wrong time and the entire restaurant quiets down as you say the word nigger. Oh man. I heard the patriarch of the get together drop his silverware and all this murmuring start. I felt awful. And of course I didn't feel that I could just say to them, "Oh, but, i was just discussing the word nigger!"
