yeah, i thought it was hilarious.

the teacher thought i was making light of the holocaust, and apparently her mother/granmother or some shit was a survivor. when the reality was i was just trying to do something other then a report on ned kelly, because thats what most people were doing.

the blackboy/grass tree thing pisses me off though. and then someone abused my granparents because they have a gollywog hanging in their garage as a sort of car stop so they dont hit the back wall. apparently gollywogs are a no no these days, its ridiculous.

I can only imagine why these r considered offensive

i think that yeah they couyld be construed as racist, but its not like tehy had it on display. it was sitting in their garage. and i mean they are from a different time, and you know the old saying. you cant teach an old dog new tricks.

my grandparents still say things that i consider racist, but at the same time i dont expect them to changeand i unerstand teh context they mean it in (nigger in a woodstack type stuff).

i think most people do realise that this kinda stuff will die out when they do, so theres no point making a big fuss over it. just ignore it and it will go away in time.

Nigger in a woodstack is new to me. Is that similar to nigger in the wood pile? The expression meaning someone has black descent somewhere down the line in them? The only racist expression I've commonly used in my life is nigger-rigged. My black friends say it's ok so fuck sensitive jerks who say it aint lol

haha more or less the same thing.

'my one black friedn says its ok for me to say nigger, so dont worry its not offensive'

hahaha

ive never heard nigger rigge dthough.

eenie meanie miny mo, catch a nigger by the toe!

Yeah thats a real common term around here too. or jerry rigged if you are around brothas

If somebody was taught all their life that it's okay to fuck children you aren't just going to let them fuck children, are you?

Stupid excuses. Still bothers me how so many white people love being racist but hate being accused of being racist.

LBT, I didn't know that black people dictate whether or not something is racist. I don't give a fuck if I got "black approval" or not I say what I want because I'm not racist. When you need a black man's permission or approval to say something you are probably racist and a coward. That whole "I have a black friend" bullshit is just a crutch people use to be racist. It's fucking stupid, doesn't make you any less racist. I know skin heads that hang out with black people. They are still racist.

I'll be honest, I use the word nigger same as the word fuck. If I try to pull on a door I'm supposed to push on I usually call that door a nigger. Just out of habit, a bad habit. I do not and will not censor myself. You'd be surprised how unstereotypical black people can be, they are people they don't all think in unison, what offends one black man may not offend another. One black man can not speak for the whole race. I know black dude that is offended by the term "African American" because he was never born in Africa neither has he ever lived in or even been to Africa.

Think for your fucking self. You should know if it's racist or not. If you wouldn't say it in front of a black man don't say it at all.

I guess that's a bit different. Too many people think they need permission to say something.

What's funny is using a racial slurr in public around your white friends.

Or when ever a white person makes a racist joke around a black person all the white people look at the black person to see if he's offended. It's quite funny.

Wait, I thought jesse jackson was the emperor of black people?  Personally I will only use the word rarely around friends to be ironic. I wouldn't use it around a brotha because I respect people. The me that yall know here isn't the same way I conduct myself in public. I don't cuss like a sailor and I say yes maam/sir. thank you/your welcome etc...

 

I reckon that makes me a hypocrite but aint we all sometimes?

Basically this. My comments about getting permission were entirely joking. Slum got the joke, good for him
