ITS FOR ARTCOLLEGE LOL. I'll be there for 4 weeks. Internet is available, yet questionable.

So this is my rant.. it's about the word "******." I know I'm not the only one fed up with it. For several decades and I'm sure a few centuries it was used by the majority race to discriminate against Africans as pretty much a piece of worthless s**t.

All of a sudden, after these centuries of those ancestors were destroyed by that one single word, blacks are getting together and saying "*****" this and "*****" that. "Waz up *****?" It's not just an insult to their ancestors but it's dangerously confusing to all other races that don't know "the rules" about who can call who a ****** and who can't. What happens when a niave white girl listens to the blacks in her class calling eachother ***** and wants to become friends, and as she starts walking up to them, tries to be cool and says "Waz up *****?" Now it's suddenly a huge insult and the group obviously has to beat the s**t out of her because she should've known better. What the ******** is up with that??!?!

I honestly don't care what any of you say that is for it because I've heard it. Maybe you think that they're trying to make a tasteless word into something positive that they can call eachother. Maybe it's used for the exact purpose of insulting all other races by prancing around calling eachother that having us know full well that they can and we can't. What ever it is, I honestly don't care.

I think what it shows from the outside is that (a)blacks have given in and lost their own dignity in calling eachother the exact thing that degraded thousands of Africans and (b)becoming more isolated from the other races and even more hostile.

I'm never sure what to believe anymore when a black community is in rage of the police shooting or arresting one of their own because of racial discrimination. To me it's kind of like The Boy Who Cried Wolf. I just can't believe that every single cop that arrests a black is racist, that's just insane. I can understand that their frusterated by having been oppressed for hundreds of years, but I think they're going about this the wrong way. Especially since so many people have accepted them as an equal. Will they ever be satisfied?


Don't get me wrong though. I know a lot of African Americans that aren't like that at all and are actually very friendly towards all races. In a lot of ways I really look up to and admire them, especially when they've achieved a lot given their circumstances. Instead of lashing out at caucasions they put all their energy into becoming an accomplished adult. I remember as a child I actually wanted to be black. There was just something about them that I really admired.

I think a lot of these people need to go back to Africa for awhile just to see how their brothers and sisters are living. So much destruction is happening over there that it makes me sick, but has anyone seen their spirits? It's so inspiring!


Basically I've just gotten annoyed with a lot of them having nasty attitudes and blame everyone else for their failures and mistakes. I am so willing to show them that I accept them, but how can you show it when they won't even let you in? Who's become racist against who now?

AgentPingoX69Oo:

1) Owning a derogitory(sp) term doesn't make it better.

2) It wasn't reffering to their race, per say. The word '******' means an uneducated, unintelligent person, and to the Europeans/Americans who went there for slaves, they were indeed niggers. They managed to use their Tribal hate for each other to have them trap each other. They saw this as stupidity, hence, niggers.

3) Don't say I can't say something you can say.

Whole situation annoys me. People shouldn't bother being offended so much. Takes too much effort. Giving Racists attention is just fueling their fire.

I'll stick to the classics: tequila, rum, and whiskey. I've recently become quite a fan of Cruzan Coconut, though Malibu is also tasty. I guess my favorite mixed drinks are top shelf margaritas and pina coladas. Margaritas on the rocks, not blended.

The problem with mixed drinks is that they're expensive at a bar, but so dang hard to replicate at home.

"But why's all the rum gone?" pirate pirate pirate

Speaking of Pirates, what happened to the LI ones?

I find it entertaining to attempt to replicate a drink at home... You come up with some crazy stuff.

I lost it last night... I walked out of my house, and wandered around for an hour before my best friend came and found me. He drove me out of town and we sat in a deserted parking lot until 12:30, and he just sat with me while I cried and incoherently explained things. My siblings aren't speaking to me today... I don't care. I went and bought new piano music. That should keep me occupied.

I would appreciate it if you stop throwing that word around.... Period. I find it incredibly offensive, and I don't think its fair for people, like myself, to have to see it a million times while we scroll down the page. You've said your point, and since people stopped commenting, clearly they don't want to encourage the topic anymore. So find something else to rant about. Something that's not so offensive.
