You can't post this graphic up enough. I hear I could care less all the time. In a way tho it is ok because we all know what is meant when it is said either way.Pistonsbeneath wrote:whighzeguy wrote:I could care less but I have crossed paths with a dude who developed a fake British accent b/c he said he was spending some time in England getting his record label going. That was a trip.

wtf did you actually read what i wrote at all ?seckle wrote:have you ever said that to a black person in america to his face? i think a lot of europeans watch too many rap videos and movies, and then have some notion that its become acceptable language.Brave Sir Robin wrote:that kinda shows that only retards care about that word any moreseckle wrote: i have big problem with people taking it lightly as if its nothing. you use that here in NYC in certain situations, and you can get yourself killed.
I'm sorry but it's almost 2010 and n word or not if you kill somebody for using it... well what can i say pathetic really
I never used that word but it still shocks me how people react to it and let's be honest those people have no clue about the whole thing just a reason to bang their chest about something they heared stories about
sure, some might think nothing of it, and shrug it off, but others might send you to the hospital. just depends on the situation. i've seen here in NYC with my own eyes, a whole bar explode into a massive fight that went into the street, cops etc...... because one black guy called another black guy a "n" over a billiards game, and he wasn't having any of it. it was a situation that went from a discussion to violence in about 30 secs. there's black people that want nothing to do with that word at all, and then there's black people that want ownership of that word, as a way of turning its negativity around. jay-z, nas and biggie we're about the latter. two very different perspectives all over one word. which is right, and which is wrong?
so, if you're willing to navigate all of that with a shrug of the shoulder, i suggest you think about the consequences in saying it here in america face to face with someone. maybe read up about the civil rights struggle a bit. its real easy to say on the internet and take lightly, safely behind your screen.
) on my part to spell things correctly for the cultural audience since I deal with a split of UK & US all day long.I think you'll find that we're correct.chrish wrote:My employees pick up British accents and slang, and I have to coach them out of it. I manage a team of [Americans] that provide telephone sales & service to the UK, so after several weeks of working in the middle of the night spending 8+ hours a day dealing with UK accents & slang they eventually start using it without realizing.
For me, I inadvertently spell things with an 's' as opposed to the American 'z', and I write cheque instead of check, etc. It takes a conscious effort (see realizing above
yeah i agree with you, in some ways by giving the word that much wide a berth and 'respecting' its use like it legitimizes people reacting so violently to it. I am aware that it is a word with lots of history, but in this day the word has been used so much in popular culture by black people (and obviously i know this doesnt represent all black people, but it definitely gets noticed alot more) that it has confused the appropriate use of it. Its hard to know how to deal with it because you cant get rid of the tension that the word will cause because of its history, but at the same time that is also something that needs to be moved away from.Brave Sir Robin wrote:wtf did you actually read what i wrote at all ?seckle wrote:have you ever said that to a black person in america to his face? i think a lot of europeans watch too many rap videos and movies, and then have some notion that its become acceptable language.Brave Sir Robin wrote:that kinda shows that only retards care about that word any moreseckle wrote: i have big problem with people taking it lightly as if its nothing. you use that here in NYC in certain situations, and you can get yourself killed.

I'm not saying people don't use it. I'm saying that the people who kill someone for saying a word or "make a bar explode" are just as retarded as the people who say it.
Looks like you actually look up on the people who would send someone to hospital for saying that shitty word.. lol why do i even bother
