Two Cops Shot, Sitting In Car, In Brooklyn

I'm going to deviate from the main argument to address this point here. I do not use the terms I am about to use in my normal vocabulary, and they are not intended to be offensive, but educational.

In today's usage, the word nigger is used as a noun. As we all know, it comes from the Spanish/Portuguese adjective negro, meaning black.

Amother variation is niggardly, meaning stingy or poor.

The word nigger derives in part from old mountain man spelling niggur, meaning black.

Well I hope you educated some people. I already know what the word and its derivatives mean.


My point is, i am not going to go around calling people or things nigger, or niggardly, because it is offensive.

There is nothing offensive about using the word niggardly unless you don't know what it means and use it as an insult.

The use of white privilege is equally offensive.

It's an ideology. If you want me to stop using the term white privilege, then talk to your friends about using the term racism.

There's nothing offensive about the term. The majority just doesn't like that people would dare say that they have certain societal, political and economic privileges just because they are white.

It is a term to describe a white person with a supremist attitude, consciously or not. A feeling of entitlement, or supremacy.

Like the statistics, you're speaking to something you obviously don't understand.

It, like nigger, is based on skin color and attitude.


Wrong again. As much as white people like to say that, white people didn't start calling black people that because of an attitude.

Using the sentence "those niggars" is akin to using "white privilege" in a sentence.

Umm, no it isn't. I supposed you can jump to that errant conclusion. But referring to someone as something does not equate to an ideology. So if you don't like white privilege being mentioned, then let's do away with racism and race baiting too.

It is broadbrushing an entire skin color unjustly, but more than that, is highly offensive.

It's not broad-brushing anything. It's speaking to the reality that people with white skin are afforded certain unearned privileges just because their skin is white. You don't even have to get specific in terms of jobs and housing. There's the day to day subtleties like when white people aren't automatically presumed to be incompetent when applying for a job. Unlike a lot of black folks, whites are presumed competent until proven otherwise. Especially if you're a white male and went to the right colleges.

Why is it that you never hear the crimes committed by white people attributed to some white culture pathology whereas when Blacks commit a crime,it's generally attributed to some problem used to encompass the black community?

The economic disparities exist because of white privilege. So you can not like the term. But the ideology isn't going anywhere because it exists.

Some of you are constantly talking about Blacks taking responsibility. Well it's time that Whites accept responsibility too for the part their white privilege has played and continues to play in race relations in this country.

I ask again that those who are using it to stop its usage.

You get people to stop using racism and reverse racism and race baiting and I'll toss the concept of white privilege.

I don't agree with everything Zaac posts, he's not posting anything heretical or against God's Word.

First we do agree you are a troll as he is. Second this is News ....not christian theology. Hate speech calling people white with contempt and "white privileged" is offensive as the "N" word and if he wont relent should be banned.

Save the hate speech stuff. You're starting to sound like those liberals you despise so much.

I despise racist like you....pretty simple.

You feel free to keep despising whomever you want.:thumbs: Gosh, my feelings aren't hurt that in the culture of FOX News that another white person's response is that somebody else is a racist.

Must be the new popular politically conservative thing to do. :laugh:

I'm sure you are with all that white hate built up inside. Your pal Shallow Al might hold your hand.

You sure with all this talk about hate speech and calling people racists and hating people that you're not that secret DNC operative the Rev likes to speak of?
