Topic: Since my last post, we were almost killed due to some NIGGER! - page 2. (Read 18539 times)

^^This^^

I couldn't have put it better myself(minus the N-WORD).  Ten pages of "disccussion" on why it is and isn't ok to use the word NIGGER, how exciting.  I could see this coming a mile away once I finished the first post and I"m still somewhat amazed by the amount of attention this thread has received for the wrong reasons.

I could care less that the OP uses the word NIGGER.  What bothers me is the N-WORD honestly. I find it childish and has no need being in a adult discussion or even in a discussion for children IMO.  Maybe our society is not as mature as we'd like to believe... Discuss...

Even though OP made it clear this NIGGER bashing was not about race from the start I personally have strong doubts that the OP would read the same if the NIGGER in question had a lower amount of pigment in his skin.  As I stated I don't care and others shouldn't too it is his choice.  Not a good choice from my viewpoint, just like giving out his address online was a bad choice online IMO. Flame on folks or grow up your choice, cheers.

None of my threads ever get this many replies.

I need to start using me some N word 

Well, i'm from Arkansas so i think that makes us mortal enemies, atleast during football season...

Can i chime in.

No one should have to apologise in advance what words they used.

No one should get upset, take offence over any words used.

For "The word is not the thing". Become like me ladies and gentleman, boys and girls. Evolve using higher intellect to become an advance human being and leave the bog standard humans behind.

Alfred Korzybski: The word is not the thing.

The word “cat” is not a cat. The word “hate” is not hate. The word “sad” is not sadness. When we read these sentences, we say, “of course.” There is a distinction between word and thing. This is obvious. The “word” is a sound conveying a symbol. The “thing” is an existential reality in its own right.

However, when we are embroiled in our lives, the reality of this distinction can often become lost in the heat and energy of our living. Think of racial epithets, and the anger, frustration, pain and sadness they provoke. Think of the hate that drives them. Think of being labeled dumb, stupid, cowardly, lazy, thoughtless and a host of other negative slurs that sap our self esteem, and often hurt us deeply.They are just words after all, but the emotions they evoke can be both deeply limiting and very painful.

Although there is always a gap between the word and what the word refers to in the world, it is easy for all of us to lose sight of that fact when we are the butt of someone’s viciousness or meanness. We cannot so easily slough off insults and angry words directed at us. It is all too easy in such circumstances to forget that “the word is not the thing.” And when we forget that, words are not just “symbols,” they become instead weapons that others use to inflict pain and sadness on us. It is a mark of our personal awareness and equanimity to not let “painful words” become painful things in our lives. What someone says of us does not make it so. Learn to filter what others say through your own inner locus of judgment, and you will free yourself from their verbal abusiveness. Always remember, the word is not the thing. It was Korzybski who first said in the early 30’s: The map is not the territory. You can’t get any nutrition by eating the menu.

Posting off topic bullshit is simply not tolerated on some threads. The thread you posted to did not belong to any racist pigs, either.


Any sources, quotes, or evidence to back that up?



Any evidence that our organization is racist? We have donated to charities in US, Europe, Asia, and Africa. I'm pretty sure they would all be very surprised to hear that we are racist.



I'm 34  

Also, I get it. You wanted a $1,000 donation from Bitcoin100, and we turned you down, because your organization was too new, and looked very sketchy. We can't be sure that it's not a scam. And I understand that it's upsetting to get turned down. But you don't have to get so hostile and attack us for it.

Oh look... a closet racist supporting another racist

Well I'm a white guy who doesn't give a shit but +1

ITT:

Two okay black guys and a bunch of white guilt.

I don't think people like Bobsurplus are behind, I think they're on auto-moron mode and are never going to listen to a word anyone says, I admit, I did find it incredibly funny when I called them illiterate and one of them started writing incredibly badly in response . Don't bother responding to them, part of me thinks they're just doing it for the attention and appearances, these people can't be reasoned with and will keep this thread going for as long as they get responses which is why they started attacking you in other threads until you began responding again here.

You be signing a different tune if your ~100lb niece was beaten by a...wait for it...NIGGER.

Reread the OP to get back up to speed, for you're behind.

No problem man, we all have our days I actually apologize for misunderstanding you; I originally thought your comment was directed at me but I see I was mistaken, my bad. I defend everyone's right to free speech, even if I don't agree with what's being said. Free will dictates this. Also, being in Customer Relations for 5+ years is an excellent resource

If you are ever around Greenwood, SC, drop me a line and Ill serve us up some cold beers and some hot and spicy ribs No hard feelings

Phinnaeus, you have no class and you have racist-bigot bones inside you. Its that simple.

Wanna kick my ass, you know where I live.

You may not be able to fathom it, but it occurs daily, if not by the minute somewhere in the world: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl0DwApnjEY Obviously, this black guy was comfortable with using the term, albeit I wouldn't have used it that way, and we were basically in the same camp at the time.

I have no problem with Obama being in the White House, and I don't consider him a NIGGER or a nigger. I may despise a lot of shit he represents, but currently he is my president of these United States, and I would take a bullet for his black ass (not meant unkindly).

I have no problem with anybody calling my daughter a WHORE. In fact, I could easily do it myself. BTW, she has brain cancer, probably caused by too many drugs and...wait for it...whoring around.

BTW, guess which person correctly guess which movie would win Best Picture for 2013: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/place-your-bets-on-12-years-a-slave-to-win-an-oscar-or-two-or-418869

I would love to see that movie, for the trailer still gives me goosebumps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUQNjfhlREk

You may dislike for a myriad of reasons, but racist shouldn't be one of them.

A bunch of non-black bitches in the west with slightly darker skin tone pretending to be down wit da brothas

Black people think you are bitches to the core, and they are right.

GTFO bitch made punks/

A better comparison would be calling a woman a cunt, as a whore is a synonym for prostitute which can accurately describe an individual's profession, ergo a sentiment which can both be an insult and a descriptor.

With that said, imagine a scenario where a woman runs over your daughter, keeps driving while flipping the bird, you call an ambulance and describe the situation as "my daughter almost died due to some CUNT!"  Now, women of all kinds attack you for using that word, paying no mind to the fact that a woman just ran over an innocent girl without a second thought.  You might describe the individuals who ignore the actions of the woman driver, ignore the daughter, and instead attack you for using a word they didn't like as, themselves, soulless cunts.

We can see, then, why some people take offense to "nigger", and why some do not: it's the same reason why cunts don't like being called cunts and, to a much greater extent, why evil cannot bare to hear the truth.  Are all women cunts?  Of course not, it's a gross over-generalization to presume half the world is this way, and to call a nice woman a cunt is very bad form, to which they deserve the defense, to which people would ask that the individual who muttered the obscenity swallow their words and offer an apology--this, I find fair.  But when a woman is a cunt, only those who are personally offended by being called a cunt--a revelation of truth--will come to her defense: only evil has an incentive to mask evil.

So, with this sorted out, we can clearly see whether Bruno is being asked to apologize for calling a decent man what he isn't, or if evil is defending evil.

@Phinnaeus
It's all that newfangled thinking.
Integrate society, they said.
Them people as good as white folk, they said.
Ain't nothin' wrong with savages sleepin' with our womens, they said.
And now look at Us -- darkie in the White House, rest of 'em hopped up on goofballs, rapin' our womens in broad daylight!

calling a black dude a NIGGER is like someone calling ur daugther a WHORE it's offensive i'm sure to u. It was cool to call a woman a WHORE in the past but it's not cool anymore

If this was 1800's and ur NIGGER forgot to pluck the last few cotton buds i would say go ahead and WHIP THAT NIGGER, but guess what it's 2014 u need to adapt and not call people NIGGERS.
