Because their parents are bringing them up to behave that way? They are young and impressionable. Yes, they are acting like heathens in this vid, but so did the mom and the dad. They are just following the examples they see at home. It's pretty sad, really.

And, we're now off to the DC. Goodbye thread.

I feel the same way. I'm white & offended by it too. I've had black friends over the years who said it was ok to call them that as long as it was in a friendly matter. I could never bring myself to do it out of respect for them. I see shit like that and just :facepalm:

I love how the father gets mad at the end for doing that right by his kids. Stupid fool, you should have been paying attention earlier and knew something was about to go down. If you were truly worried about your kids, maybe you should have made them stop acting like brats and got them out of there.

Eh, yes and no.

I have white, Hispanic and Asian friends that call me nig/****a/****er all the time, but they do so in a friendy and/or playful manner. For me, its all about intent. I don't get mad when they say the word because they don't mean anything behind it.

If someone were to call me any of those words and I didn't know them, it'd be a whole different story. But again, not even just because of the word itself, because its really disrespectful. The same way it would be disrespectful for someone to use any word to call you outside of your name.

As a black person, I might be slightly more offended by a stranger calling me a ****er as opposed to bitch, pillowbitergot, asshole, etc because, given the history of the word, the person must be REALLY trying to piss me off when using it..

throw their ass in a time machine and put them in Mississippi or Birmingham for a year in 1960.

bet they would come back and never say that shit again.
and no matter how 'hard' they think they are, they have no idea what it would be like. and it wouldn't be just some white dude with a tazer; they'd have the ****ing house burned down; or randomly scooped up by a bunch of KKK assholes.

Also, I always wonder the difference between the whole "black people saying ****a" argument and pretty much any other offensive word.

Girls, these days anyway, call each other bitch in a playful/friendly manner all the time ("She's my bitch" "I love you, bitch."). They don't get mad when they do it; its almost a term of endearment. Let a man or another woman call them a bitch in a different setting though and it'll be a big issue.

I guess I feel like its human nature to take a word that may be offensive to you and use it amongst yourselves.

I ain't gonna lie. I've got black friends who I call that word, and Mexican friends I say much worse things too. But they're all dudes, and we **** with each other all the time. I've never crossed that boundry until they did it for me, first. Then, it's almost expected. We don't do that shit walking through the mall, or in a restaurant/bar, but in private confines, that kind of ball busting goes down. Usually, they call me ****er Irish, which always makes me giggle.

Somebody owes me 3 Advil. That shit gave me a massive headache to listen to. Like fingernails across a chalkboard. Gawdamn!

I suppose but, I look at it as, either it's offensive or it's not. I would never say it to my friends, eventhough they say it's ok, out of respect. I just think that if a word is so offensive that you would kick person A's ass for saying it then you should do the same to person B who says it in the same context no matter what.

Back when I was in middle school (mid-1970s) I was eating lunch with a friend who was black, and one of his black friends came and sat across from us. My friend started telling some kind of funny story, and the black kid across from us said, "Aw, y'all just a couple of lying ****ers."

Then he looked at me.

"Oh, 'cept you."

:LOL:

lol. nice

LMAO

See that just doesn't make sense to me. You're taking a very volatile word who's meaning could range between friendship and hatred, and depending on your interpretation of "Intent" to determine which. Why bother? It's not worth it. Nobody who uses that word is doing themselves any favors. The overwhelming majority of the uses for the word have negative intention, so what's the point of hanging on to the small window of use between friends? It just makes no sense to me....

you can see the little kids become losers right in front of our eyes. At first they stand there. Then they start screeming just like that idiot mother and her friend. Who the hell would want to have sex with those chicks? JFC
