Can't say that down here...

White guilt is a helluva drug.

over-privileged sorority girls cannot.

How can you beat the racism drum as loud as you do and say shit like this?  That is blatantly racist.

[wesfau2]

You had me until this.

You keep beating this drum and it makes everything else you say fall on deaf ears...

How about we substitute "shitty non-black people who are for some reason hung up on the fact that they can't say this one word"?

I liked your post for two reasons.

1. You’re stirring up shit with Wes. Who couldn’t like that?

2. I figured it would piss you off if I Liked it.

You can still read my posts if you’ve blocked me, right?

Hello? Token? Anybody?

Hello?

She'll transfer to UGA where that type of behavior is encouraged.

Sounds to me like you are pretty hung up on who can or can't say it.

You’ve known him a lot longer than me. Has he always been a nagger?

He's also hung up on the belief that all white people are overly privileged of which I'm highly offended.  I considered a protest against Wes next week but then I remembered I have to work or I can't eat.

Good post. But let’s not go over board. You have a government position.

It’s not like it’s actually work.

I like wes just fine personally. He's a good dude.

But politically we're just at opposite ends, esp with this stuff. I don't think anyone is gonna change anyone else's mind on this one. I just thought it was noteworthy to point out on that specific statement.

Any time your argument is that it’s perfectly fine for THIS group or person to do something but it’s not okay for THAT group or person to do the same, you have devolved into some “ism” whether it be racism, classism, sexism, or some other.

It’s heeelarious to me that it’s usually the liberal left that attempts to make these ambiguous distinctions and apply these arbitrary labels. 

She’s white. She’s privileged. She’s a woman. She doesn’t have the same constitutionally protected rights as a poor black man.

That’s ridiculous.

That's why I replied to it. I found it hypocritical.

First, the "a" vs. "er" distinction is one that has been discussed, so I know none of you actually don't know the difference.

Even if it was phonetically the same word, you can't possibly not see any difference in a black rapper using the word endearingly and a white sorority girl saying QUOTE:

"I love how I act like I love black people because I FUCKING HATE N----RS. So that's really interesting, I fucking hate n----rs, but I just saved the fucking n----rs by shutting that water off"

And then double, triple, quadrupled down and in her non-apology video by angrily shouting "I don't care if it's Martin Luther King day, N----r N----r N----r!"

This isn't an issue of her forgetting to censor her self while doing Jay-Z at karaoke. Jesus...

But if it's been deemed a very bad word. Very offensive. Very hateful. Why is it ever ok to use? By anyone.

There is no "a vs er" distinction.  The word is used interchangeably in rap songs. 

If Jay-Z can say it, so can a sorority girl.   It's either off limits or its not regardless of context.

Again, if we were having an intellectually honest conversation about if it's ok for white people to use it in the editorial sense, or when regurgitating rap lyrics, or putting it in a script a'la Tarantino, we'd have a lot of common ground to agree on.

You're not being serious if you're refusing to recognize the difference in the way it is used by this bitch and Jay-Z.

She's a Yankee...who needs her collards stirred.

Doesn't matter how it's used.  You can either call somebody that or you can't.

It's either offensive enough to expel a girl from college for saying it, or it's not. 

When you start drawing distinctions over who is and isn't allowed to say something based on their color or upbringing you're defining the very nature of racism.  You're embracing it.

I'm drawing a distinction on the context, not on their color or upbringing.

If our new AD gets fired for saying "I love how I act like I love white people because I FUCKING HATE CRACKERS!!!", I'd be ok with that. If he gets fired for saying "Could you please pass the saltines? I like putting my oysters on crackers," I would not be ok with that.

Why is this hard?

I know why.
