Why Can't Whites Use the Term, "Nigger"
Hmmmmm, I blame humans in general. I blame them for being human. Jeferson declared "All men should be equal" whilst 'owning' 200 black slaves.
I agree that we seem to be in a society (United Kingdom and no doubt America too) where, whites cannot do enough for Asians/Blacks/Chinese - pretty much all non white people! Why? Because of how our past white leaders have demoralized non-white people.
Its not about a white guy calling a black guy a nigger. Its about how aboriginies were classed as animals up till the late 1960's, and all the rest of it, how white people practically own Europe now.
1000 years ago whites were doing just the same thing in the middle east as they are now in 2004, taking the f**king place over, but hold on...
2000 years ago, the black people of the middle east were fighting each other over their "differences" in religion, just as they do now! I think I see a pattern here! Yes, HUMANS are to blame, for being so f**cking STUPID.
Whatever skin colour or culture/zany beliefs they have. To me, a black person being "offended" by getting called nigger is just as stupid as the person calling it them, and they need their heads banging together!
Political corectness has gone too far and its pretty much how Thor says it is. I think people should accept other peoples beliefs no matter what they are, as long as they dont impose those beliefs on others, which when some faiths (whether their members are black or white is not relevent here) force their children into marriage you can see how other faiths would oppose this totally.
Thor, I know what you mean about KC and 1994

It is a common misconception to be utterly hygienic, but this is not necessary. When you are too hygenic you have little immmunity to diseases. Yet someone unhygenic would be labbeled a "dirty bastard" or something and how much would it hurt that person? Its the same as racism.
Racism is an illusion, the focus on black/white, good/evil and nothing in between - thats the illusion. Bill hicks once said something just great to his audience...
"You morons, you FUCKING morons"
Sorry if that offends anyone. He also said we are a "virus with shoes" which sums humans up quite well, we are ALL greedy, white, black, yellow, greedy humans living in a materialistic world of complexity where endless racism and discussions on racism can take place. If we are going to generally be this way as humans then what the f**k do people expect?! Too much greed in the world for equality.
