A word that's culturally accepted and widely used, and widely understood, except among older white men who still think it's synonymous with ****er.

No one is asking you to use the word. Honestly, you probably couldn't use it anyway. Like i said, you either talk like that because you're from it or you're not.

But yes, black people just like being racist towards each other. That's it. Surely.

Culturally accepted between people of the same race. How the **** do you not understand this?

I dont have to go into a store and wonder if someone is going to punch me in the face if I say, "Excuse me sir, do you mind if I slide in to get some cheese?" Why? Because at no point in that sentence did I use a term that is socially unacceptable for me to use.

You seem to think that your group of friends, however many that is, speak for the entire ****ing world. It's ignorance.

This conversation is well past its expiration date, we're just spinning in circles now.

It's weird for you and your friends, it's not for me and mine. Moving on.

It's weird for the majority of society outside of your bubble. I have no idea if my friends would be cool if I used the word, because I've never ****ing asked.

Ok, well my bubble is the bubble that actually uses the word with regularity. So don't bother telling me how it should and shouldn't be used.

I've never told you how it should or shouldnt be used once. You have decided that for yourself multiple times while talking about it.

The original conversation was regarding the difference between "er" and "ga".

No idea what we're even talking about at this point.

That you don't like the "ga" version because it makes you uncomfortable? Because coming from an older white guy it's never going to sound right?

Ok.

And here in SoCal the word isn't nearly as big of a deal and is more or less just a part of modern street slang.

Fact is the word is used with high regularity with no offense taken. If that makes you feel some type of way i don't know what to say.

The entire point is ****er and ****a are two very different words with very different meanings amongst those who use them.

Stop the cap. You were in Pat's thread claiming he wasn't his child's father because she's super light-skinned lol

Anyone who's spent time around black folk knows genes can lead to a lot of different skin color, eye color, hair texture combinations.

Yeah, and I wouldn't ever say that to a black person on the street. It's my opinion, it doesn't mean I don't know etiquette when talking to a random person.

You know, I find something interesting in this.

I speak German as well as English and am familiar with other languages. Many of those languages have proper pronouns and they're specifically used for people of status or people you don't know.

Perhaps we're just too comfortable with being "friendly" to strangers instead of being respectful and polite.

Yep, it's always semi-formal with "yes sir" or agreeing it's " yes, correct" never "that's right" because right is a direction

You can't. Because they don't exist. Because what you posted simply isn't ****ing true.

Just because I see through the hypocrisy doesn't make me a racist nor a *conservative*, though it's probably easier for small-minded simpletons to label me those things, just so they can judge people and compartmentalize the ideas and concepts that don't fit their narrowly-viewed - and, ever-changing, even dependent on the situation, as it were - definitions of how and what they want to believe...which, ironically, the antithesis of what many purport to believe...

Being open-minded requires a willingness to understand that one doesn't have it ALL figured out.
