I don't see Native Americans very often. I see real Indians all the time. I see black people all the time too.

Ah, so you suffer from a severe communication disorder where you can't retain the context of the conversation for long enough to respond intelligently so you instead babble incoherently about unrelated issues and pretend that others misrepresented said incoherent nonsense instead of admitting that you have this severe intellectual incapacity.

Gotcha.

This statement is ignorant, insensitive, not necessarily "racist"....We do have a ton of work to do in our nation....I'd like to see our education system upgraded to handle these problems, IF we have people who can handle this....

Its about time I have read something like this...
As for me, I see people all of the time.....insensitive ones, impatient ones, less than intelligent ones, very intelligent ones, hard working ones, lazy ones,all kinds....

.I could care less about national origin and trivialities...

I have run into American natives...I expect some hatred, considering what we have done to them in the past, instead they seem to forgive and forget which causes me to respect them all the more.

Why, what've you done to cause an entire group of people to hate you?

jigaboo:

The funniest sounding racial slur known to man. Used mainly by whites to disparage black people.
"You ain't nothin' but a jigaboo, boy. Now shine them shoes!"

The list goes on and they all reference for the most part slurs against blacks by whites. I have no idea where you got your meaning from...

Urban Dictionary: jigaboo

Have you ever heard a white person say this to a black person? In the past 20 or 30 years, have you ever heard of a case where a white person used this in any way against a black person?

I think I may have heard this word before this particular topic, but it certainly was not in any racist way. I think most white people have forgotten this particular racial slur. Many probably never knew about it, which should be a good thing.

You people are all wrong. It's a special fishing lure that is to be only used on Halloween. :lol:
 
Is it racist to call white people "spear catchers"?
 
theplaydrive said:
That's not true...at all. There are different racial epithets for each race. Calling a white man nigger is not the same thing as calling a black man nigger. The idea racist words are the same for each race is nonsensical.

It definitely could be considered racist if you used the same benchmark that we usually use for borderline racist comments by whites. There is no doubt there is a double standard but as far as I am concerned it wouldn't bother me either way. If a white man wants to be offended by the remark he has every right to be offended. It is just not going to get much traction as a racist remark by the PC police. He is not calling a white man nigger so that comparison doesn't fit.

Tolerance is a virtue up to the point where it becomes a liability.

Apparently the "American natives" you have "run into" have evolved past the point in time where you remain stagnant.

You have no responsibility of guilt. The NA's know this but you do not...Move on earthworm.

But what you are describing in the lower section of your post (last paragraph) has more to do with what society believes is ATTRACTIVE (or what the media outlets inform you IS attractive). I have serious doubts that this changes based upon the race of the individual involved.
Click to expand...
What society finds attractive is one type of societal attitude and societal attitudes have been the topic of my posts. The example of heavy/skinny women is one example of societal attitudes affecting people. And considering that there are certainly racial components that go into societal attitudes towards attractiveness, I don't see how your point contradicts mine.

I would guess (as you are only doing yourself) that black women that are trying to look more like white women are doing so because the man or men they are interested in find white women attractive.
Click to expand...
I would be guessing if my arguments were based on something other than knowledge. They're not, so you're wrong again. I do agree that some women hold certain attitudes because of the men they are trying to impress, but again I don't see how this point contradicts my own since it rests on the fact.

Another societal attitude other than attractiveness is behavior. I'm sure you've heard the somewhat popular phrases "acting white" and "acting black". The former is often associated with 'successful' traits and societal superiority whereas the latter often has the opposite associated with it. These are examples of societal attitudes that are internalized by some blacks which cause said people to value "whiteness" over "blackness".

Just like some women and men internalize negative societal attitudes about their gender, some blacks and whites internalize negative societal attitudes towards their race.

Ha!! You don't even know what jiggaboo means. Probably never even heard it, before I posted it. It's not something white people say. It's a black on black insult.

My Dad used to use that term. He probably learned it from his 20 year Air Force career.

Heard of a case, no. Experienced it, yes. I have heard it and other slurs used to describe inner city blacks.

I agree. Your comment though has little to do with my response as it was and still is a racial slur.

When? And how typical do you honestly think this is that a white person is going to use this word to describe a black person? Especially a white person below the age of 40 or 50.

Since this was a comment referring to my direct experience, the answer is kind of lacking.

It is not a common racial slur and is most likely used more, especially nowdays, by blacks than it is whites.

Origins of Racist Terms

Very dark-skinned Black people. Usually used among lighter-skinned African-Americans to refer to ones of very dark complexion. Used in the 1975 movie "Cooley High." Often shortened to "Jig."

Racial Slurs Database

The overall point is that few, and fewer every day, white people use the word jigaboo. You could probably blame that on the education/intelligence level of those who would use such derogatory words against another person to begin with. My bet is it is just easier for some ignorant racist white person to use the n word than to use other words. Everyone knows that the n word is derogatory, some might not get that jigaboo is.

It kinda reminds me of the word "kaffir". I think it was on here or perhaps some other site a couple of years ago that someone said that it was racist and there were lots of people that had no clue that it was a racial term because it is mainly used in South Africa. The only reason I knew it was is because I love the Lethal Weapon movies, and the Dutch guy says it to Murtaugh (Danny Glover). The context and reaction inferred the racial connotations, not any prior knowledge of the word.

Thats so racist!!! I suppose after you get wasted you are going to beat your squaw and have sex with your daughter too. Shame!!!
 
.....so.....uuuhm, on that show Bridezillas.....did the black newly weds get "white boy drunk" or not?
 
I don’t know, but what I know is that all you have to do is look at me and you will see that I’m a big dumb azz white cracker redneck that has used ever racist slur that I know at one time or another. Did that make the people I was using the slurs against in some way less than what they were? I don’t think so it only showed my ignorance. I think people have let their skins get too thin. You can call me anything you want but a son-of-a-b*tch and not make me mad, and the only reason that would make me mad is you are talking about my Mama not me. So let’s all get white boy drunk, Chinese eyed, and be black boy lazy. Damn, that’s as f*cked up as a football bat. Get over yourself.
 
Kali said:
I was watching Bridezillas on TV and this black couple had just gotten married and was asked in interview what you want to do now? The black groom replied get white boy drunk. Do you feel that is racist or not?

I do not cause he did not seem to say it in hate and there is that whole song about getting white boy crazy. What do you think? One my white friends say it was racist but she said the Bridezilla was lucky he showed up at all.

Yes, it is, (turn it around if you doubt...), but I really don't care much.

You think that's them just trying to be "gangstas from the 'hood". You know, just acting cool, rebellious and what not?

If Rick Perry went out on stage and yelled "Wassup all you niggaz?!" do you think everyone would think it was okay? That he was just being hip?

I would guess he would get his ass kicked.lol Which I would not mind seeing:lol:
