We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Holy cow. After enslaving blacks, creating the KKK, Refusing the rights to Blacks, Preventing them from even engaging in the D day invasion, Creating Jim Crow laws, so many voted against their civil rights, then lying they are voters of the Civil rights, being such liars, who trusts anything said to us by Democrats? Democrats did not create the rights above anyway.

Don't be so modest. Republican judges ruled the Civil Rights Act of 1875 unconstitutional and nationalized Jim Crow in Plessy v Ferguson. Recently, they gutted the enforcement provisions of the Civil Rights Act and only one Republican congressman voted to restore it.
 
I demand the right to say the N word, we can not if we are to be civilized allow word usage to be decided by genetics....this should be obvious even to the Dim Wits, of which we have far too many. ,

We are to be equals, therefor I demand that I not be treated as a second class citizen, as one who is not allowed access to the same language the chosen people use..the victims.

I am not now nor will I ever be second rate to the victims.

Victim Culture advocates be damned.

You're the one here sounding like a victim. You're free to say that word all you like, you just might not like the consequences.

:shrug:
 
A media tempest in a teapot. With all of the 'dog whistle' circumlocutions available, I don't see what all the commotion is about.

Really? No need at all? ;) Then I shall spell some out for us gratuitously, like nigger, negro, wop, wet back, spic, and dago. I love those words. Very powerful to use especially in person. :cool: Now days most people just look at me like I have three heads when I say them, they are in shock that, I, your typical well browned Caucasian/ Mutt would use them freely and willy nilly, all because I can. I recommend saying these kinds of words with a smile and cheerfully to get the complete discombobulated effect. Its entertaining and educational what's not to like?

Nigger is originally defined as a synonym of negro in Spanish or Portuguese which was defined as black with the latin root niger.

No need because we all know what those words are. They are names made up to dehumanize a group of people, mostly so we could kill them during war time and not feel like we were killing fellow human beings, also so we could give them second class status in one way or another.

Dishonest title.

What he wants to say? Doh!
Where in the world did you come up with such stupid bs?





At no point did he express such interest, let alone in a "so much" way.




Wut?
The right wing? Of what right wing? The political right wing as a whole certainly doesn't have a problem with those words or their intent.






Wrong as usual you are.





You mean those black people who owned and sold other black people to those willing to buy them?
Those folks? Or perhaps are you only talking about those who bought, kept and bred them after the fact (which included black folks as well)?

Regardless; no. He clearly doesn't want to use it like either group.




Revisionist history that also shows no understanding of the time.
It was not made up specifically to dehumanize the already dehumanized "slave". The root meaning of the word is in the color black of which they referred to the black slaves as.
And they were not pretending at the time. They actually thought of them as lesser beings, inhuman, etc...
Click to expand...

yes, the root is from the Spanish word for "black." The word was used to describe a sort of farm animal who looked a bit like people, but had no human rights at all. A century ago, blacks were not considered human by a large sector of our white population.

There is a reason why few understand it. It doesn't exist. FDR named Hugo Black to the Supreme Court, a former Klansman, mind you. And he becomes, quite possibly the strongest defender of civil rights in the history of the Supreme Court. And LBJ finishes Reconstruction by passing civil rights, voting rights and housing rights laws.

They had a funny way of showing that they didn't care for Blacks.

They also grew up in the early 20th. century when the N word was far more acceptable than it is today.

Slavery was an established concept for millennia. The Romans were famous for it. Only the right wing prefers bigotry and racism.

Sums up Trump supporters perfectly. Racist, bigoted people who are mad that minorities have rights, gays have rights, and that they can't go around berating, beating and discriminating against minorities anymore. It's just not fair, they should have the rights to **** on everybody not a white, christian conservative! Who else are they to blame for their own failures and ****ty life? Who else can they harm to make themselves feel better about themselves?

Not all Trump supporters are racists, but most racists are Trump supporters.

Not much?

That was many, many moons ago?

We're talking slavery in the year of our lord 2020?

So... are you okay with Blacks enslaving other Blacks then?
 
I lose a good deal of respect for anyone who uses the 'N' word, white or not. YMMV. :shrug:

So. If I insult you, am I not wishing to demean you?
