Why would I give tlc or tlb the benefit of an honourific.

I completely understand. Where I live the racists call us 'macaques', yes I am a north-african immigrant in Europe, it is not as heavy loaded as the n-word, but it still is hurtfull. So under Moroccans we call eachother like that, it is a stupid thing to do and I agree with Silence's analysis on the matter, cause it is the same situation here too.
One day a Belgian friend of mine called me 'macaque' after hearing moroccan friends call me that. I immidiately told him: If you want us to stay friends, never use that word again - he understood and felt without explaination why he was out of line.

@Thousand:
Doesn't affect my point in the slightest. You post the normal thing, people would just think it's a reversed swastika. Even though the "reversed" one came first.
What people is this?
Cuz clearly they are idiots.
Might want to change the people you surround yourself with…or educate them in the matter.
Because it IS relevant to our current nigga/nigg** issue.

No matter what though it still hurts being called it and assumed that you are one no matter how old you are.
-
:P I told you i don't say or write that word…
sips tea from his ginormous mug
Nigga.
-
Haha! >:D
I'll get you to say it.
-
I have very little hate in my heart…
My time in the military showed me that.
-
You don't have to have hate in your heart to say "nigger". :getlost:
Nigga.

Oh please Rican. Don't tell me if you see this,
The first thing you'd think wouldn't be a swastika.
@Darkstorm:Why would I give tlc or tlb the benefit of an honourific.
Chan is technically an honourific too.
@Silence:Basically TLS's argument is
everything has attributed meaning
nothing has inherent meaning
if everyone ignored the inherent meaning of every offensive object, and instead walked around speaking to each other in a made up, IMAGINATION language where words are instead rainbows and stars, then we would all understand each other! god, i don't even know why the swastika, or effigies of black people burning on crosses, or the n-word even offends anyone, because if you look at the scarecrow of a black man being lynched at a public rally and are afraid, you are giving it power. in truth, there is nothing to fear but fear itself
:D
Hey, hey, hey now, Silence. Since when was I NOT speaking in idealistic terms? I even said so myself, that shit don't apply to real life. I believe that symbols and words shouldn't be given power for what they are but for what they intend and mean but I'm smart enough to realize that that just don't cut it on the street.

In MY case you do…
Nig.

Thousand Lion, how would you feel if I called you a… "nigger"?
In MY case you do…
Nig.
In MY case you're weak… you need moar hate.
Nig-ger.

That treats you like you're five.
I'm happy with that.
-
I've got nothing of value to add to the debate you all are having, but i'll just say this much, i find it absolutley fascinating.
In conclusion… black people are weird and just don't say the fucking "N-word" around them, for sure if you're not black.
Just DON'T. Please. Black people are fucking violent as hell. ESPECIALLY the ghetto ones. They're retarded and violent and that's a killer combo.
So if i ever find myself in harlem would i according to the black white race relations rulebook be allowed to watch and laugh at the boondocks in front of black people without being thrown out of a fifth story window by some black guys?:ninja:

You should be fine since it IS funny.
Just don't start quoting shit in front of them.
It COULD turn ugly.

Basically TLS, you are idealistically proposing a BUBBLE WORLD. I agree that people shouldn't let a single word hold power over them, but the problem is outside of BUBBLE WORLD there are no people who are not affected strongly by certain words. I'm going to go out on a limb and call your argument hypocritical on the face of it, because I am almost 100% certain that there are words that you can be called or words that your friends might be called that would make you angry and lash out. i.e. if someone called your girlfriend a cunt to her face.
Hell, you're proving it right now in a way, getting all out of sorts because someone is refusing to call you -San instead of -Chan. It's just a word, why get so bent out of shape about it?
…See what I mean? Your BUBBLE WORLD of no words having any real meaning is a fantasy. If words don't have power then language has no power and speech has no power. You can't divorce some words from their histories - it's just not possible to achieve your theoretical reality. But you seem to understand that -- so why make the argument at all?
-

I'm happy with that.
Or implies you wanna get in my pants.

Wouldn't care actually. But that's just me.

This is why I love the Boondocks…

Thankfuly i couldnt do a good imitations if my life depended on.

I can't use the N-word. I'm the whitest cracker you'll ever meet. I have exactly zero ancestors who are any color other than white. And I'm of German descent…. so yeah....
No racial epitaphs from my mouth

I hate the N-word, my cousin uses it all the time and his little brother say it freely….But hell these 2 also call me a "Jew" and seig heil they dont take much shit seriously. But man its just a disgusting sounding word that it shouldnt even exist.

BRING THE BEAT BACK
@Thousand:
Anyone that's bothered by the simple word nigger is an over-moralistic pansy. There's nothing wrong with calling a black man/woman a nigger. It's the CONTEXT that matters.
Just wanted to put the past couple of pages in context.

Hey now, if someone called my girlfriend (who doesn't exist by the way) a cunt face, the meaning of their words would be clear as something extremely offensive. Let's say my girlfriend was black and some stranger came to her face and called her nigger. The naturally thing to assume (especially in a country as racist as mine) would be he was using the word in that way. So of course I'll be pissed. With that said I call my best friend's girlfriend who he's definitely gonna marry a bitch in front of his face all the time and he just laughs with me because he knows I mean it in a funny haha gangsta shit way and not that I actually mean it.
Hell, you're proving it right now in a way, getting all out of sorts because someone is refusing to call you -San instead of -Chan. It's just a word, why get so bent out of shape about it?
That's just a running gag of mine really. I don't really care what suffix people use.
…See what I mean? Your BUBBLE WORLD of no words having any real meaning is a fantasy. If words don't have power then language has no power and speech has no power. You can't divorce some words from their histories - it's just not possible to achieve your theoretical reality. But you seem to understand that -- so why make the argument at all?
I'm not saying you don't have a point because you do. You're pretty much right in every aspect. BUT I just want to make clear that at the end of the day people are bothered by words like nigga because of the meaning they themselves give to it because of the social environment of where they live. Which makes for some crazy shit like how it's okay for black people to say it to each other's face like Saurus was talking about. I just wanna point out how dumb forcing words and meanings together is.
-
I'm sure there's a N-word that you blond blue eyed germans can use:ninja:
Naw, they wouldn't take me. I look about as German as a Ford Mustang.
S7evin is such a badass.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but that's going into my sig
-
You're not black.
Because every black person is the same and there's a rule in the black book of blackness that you have to be offended by it for the sake of the people.
But yeah I'm NOT black. BUT, I kinda look like one which is what matters at the end of the day isn't it?
-

Funnily enough since 80 percent of Chappelle's Show was written by THE WHITEST DUDE IN THE PLANET ya'll get SOME free passes.
Mostly of the Rick James/Prince/Samuel Jackson variety.
Episode one stands as an unquotable ep for white dudes… cept for THIS gem: "Did that dude just call me a nigg**!? AWEOME!1!!!"
I do a MEAN Uncle Ruckus irl... :V then again I also do Gollum/Jar Jar Binks but that's mostly cuz I was all about being a voice actor when I was like 14... that dream has slowly faded away.

NO. :getlost:
-
Hey man, you couldn't tell the difference unless I told you. So I get that free pass right?
-
I'll think about it…
-
I'm apparently 2 pages too late to say this in the middle of flared tempers, but.
Given that this is the BOONDOCKS thread, and only because it is the Boondocks thread, and the show itself deals with race relations and uses the word nigger, I'll allow this discussion to keep going. But I've been pmed complaints.
If you can keep a civil discussion going, fine. But there's a bunch of hotbed topics being tossed around and tempers can flare easily. I'll ban folks and close this thread if I think it needs doing. Only warning.

You could just state what you are or post a real pic and we'll be the judge of that >=P

No offense, when I saw you, I knew some shit was going to happen.
I was like, I know Robby doesn't watch The Boondocks…

What the hell?
We're having a nice conversation.
Whoever PM'd you is a dumbass.

It's not all about looks, it's about efficiency.
And you got right to the point, that's a german if i ever saw one :p

Wish i had your talent man, i'd kill to be like Frank Caliendo.
-

Nah, I don't want my face to be known. Even just showing the color of my skin would be a hassle because I'd have to find my camera and stick the disk into my computer and all that tedious stuff.
I'll just tell you this, if I had to compare skin color, I'd probably be on the level of Obama.

Oh lewl… the Evil N word was tossed by... Robby O_O'
Oh Jesus!
My day... has been made.

Just great now the man is trying to bring us down but back on topic Huey's 'Eh' is definitely Aaron McGruder opinion on Obama.

Boondocks is hilarious. The Martin Luther King episode was particularly brilliant.
I just don't have anything to say about it beyond the fact Riley and Huey shouldn't have the same voice actress, they sound too similar at times.

MLK's speech at the end of that episode about "Niggas" was the best thing Cartoon Network has EVER aired.
