Racial Slurs

[Mr. Flopnuts]

We're having some posts being reported for the use of racial slurs in this forum. While it is widely known that there is some racism that goes on in this forum, those users have found a way to dance around the issue enough that the majority of moderators of this website have deemed the behavior fine for now.

It's really not okay to me at all. I don't believe that people of color should be subjected to that shit over political affiliations. That said, I'm a firm believer in a majority consensus so it is what it is at this point.

That said, overtly racial slurs will result in bannings. It is a bullet point in the TOS of this website, and not much is out of bounds. One user has already been banned, and another one has been warned. If you insist on trying to dance around racist comments, please be prepared for a vacation if you use a term that is deemed racist by the moderators. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Think Tea Party.

But many black people think it is ok to call each other ****er just like us white people don't mind calling each other cracker, honky or redneck.

Right, so when a Black person calls a White person a cracker, it's a racial slur.

I'm glad we agree.

And this is the part I think the mods would have a hard time policing.

I think everyone could agree Cracker is not implied in a complimentary way. However, no one in my family or generations of family were persecuted for the color of my skin.

It is silly to compare the plight of the poor downtrodden white male with sand in his vagine over getting called a cracker and someone who knowingly uses the n word and all that history implies with that word.

What about Tea Bagger? That's definitely a slur.

If your ancestry is in Virginia, they may not be true. We landed in Jamestown in 1635 and mated with the local Indians. Those offspring were subjected to disadvantages due to their color of skin and/or origin. My point is, you never know.

But...

WTF does that have to do with today?

[BucEyedPea]

Yes I know. That's why it's derogatory.

It's silly to think that your family should be the measuring stick for this or to think that treating races differently is a good way to bring us all together in a spirit of equality.

I'm talking about a political group. Not sex. You're being sexist. Besides, you don't know that.

I'm just saying it is silly to equate the same depth of feeling to Cracker as the n word. I don't know if any white male with his own set of balls who could give a rat's ass about that word or its usage. We have never been the oppressed in this country in the same way that the blacks and that word's association with that oppression.
