At least we know now that "creepy ass cracka" means a security guard and isn't racist.
"A bull fact"? Well, at least you know it's a fact.

I never said it wasn't racist. I said, the n-word is just on another level because of the historical cruelty behind it.
do you not think that is only your experience as a black man? and that people of other said races aren't just as offended by the slurs directed at them?

I don't think so. They may be offended but, the offense is not equal. When people say the n-word it implies that the person approves of the cruelty and barbarity of what happened long ago and not so long ago with Jim Crow. Some of us still got sweet ol grandmothers still alive that suffered through those times and it upsetting to be reminded that a person so sweet was subjected to that.
I wonder what the media's narrative would have been had the roles been reversed and Zimmerman called Trayvon a 'creepy ass ******'. LOL media. And LOL people who take it for more than the farce it is.
Bull . Slurs are slurs. They all are all equally demeaning and de-humanizing. Of course the word means worse things for you. You're black. But I grew up as both a Jew and white guy in a town which had a population that was 99% Hispanic and Catholic and had slurs thrown at me all the time. I never once thought "well it could be worse, at least I'm not called a ******".
They are not all equally demeaning and de-humanizing. Yes slurs are terrible and should be done away with but the n-word stands on it's own. I'm not changing my stance on this. Agree to disagree.
If you don't mind me asking, what was the racial epithet they threw at you?
I guess you're going to stand by the Holocaust being a non event compared to what African Americans went through. This is my point about people not being a champion for a cause. Just "their own".
What's the slur?
that makes a difference somehow? Maybe you would be more familiar with it if Jewish people referred to each other by said slurs...
sup, my !
That's the word? is on the level of "coon" but not the n-word.
I looked it up and it looks like the word comes from when Jews came to America, they signed their names with a circle? Doesn't say anything about the Holocaust.
The source of the term is uncertain. According to Leo Rosten,
The word was born on Ellis Island when there were Jewish immigrants who were also illiterate (or could not use Latin alphabet letters), when asked to sign the entry-forms with the customary 'X,'* refused, because they associated an X with the cross of Christianity, and made a circle in its place. The Yiddish word for 'circle' is l (pronounced KY-kul), and for 'little circle,' leh (pronounced KY-kul-uh). Before long the immigration inspectors were calling anyone who signed with an 'O' in place of an 'X' a l or leh or e or, finally and succinctly, .[2]According to Rosten, Jewish U.S. merchants continued to sign with an 'O' in place of an 'X' for several decades, spreading the nickname wherever they went as a result

As a Jew the word " " or any other Jewish slurs some to creative to even remember that I've heard are no more de-humanizing than the word "cracker", "******", or "******". They're all bad and equally de-humanizing. But believe what you want.
Well Mingus, good thing that " " isn't a direct connection to the Holocaust, while the n-word has a direct connection the slavery, rape, and lynchings because that word would make you feel even more ty.
The worlds dumbest argument.
And if it was it wouldn't make a difference. The idea that a word is worse because it historically connotates something doesn't make sense to me. It's all about intent. And no matter what slur you're talking about, they all have the potential to alienate and de/humanize just the same, which is what I tried to articulate in my first post in this thread.
I agree with Creepn here. N!gger actually is worse than all the other slurs. It hurts way more because unlike all the other slurs it is aimed at people who actually are inferior to other humans. It is dehumanizing because it reminds Creepn that he's somewhere between a little and a lot less human than non-n!ggers. Aimed at his kids, every time uttered it taps the brakes on whatever hopes, dreams, and ambitions they might have had, reminding them that those things will fall beyond their reach because people who were born smarter and more capable than them will grasp them away.
I means that I, a nobody on an internet forum, have power to hurt him and his family, just by saying n!gger. Damn that's fun.
lol nice try. I actually have the power over you that everywhere you look, you have to face the people that makes you your pants everynight. On Tv, the grocery store, music, and almost every facet of your life. Your fear is everywhere.
BOO!
If you really believed that, the Zimmerman verdict wouldn't bother you. I can say a word on the internet and it's like a boot in your face. You say whatever it is you say and you're just a click of an X away from not existing.
There are no white people scared into thinking it's "open season" on whites. If they really were scared, they would organize. Instead, they gripe on the internet and then go do whatever it is they are going to do.
Blacks are scared that it's "open season" on blacks, that white people can shoot them and get away with it. They try to organize because they really fear it.
True. You finally got something right.
Well I would put your commentary overall these last few days as being some of the most ignorant I have read in a long time.
But hey a black president was elected so the doubled unemployment and poverty rate as well as the quadruple incarceration rate for possession charges should be ignored. Blacks are 'flourishing' right?
Nevermind that drug use amongst the various ethnicity is fairly uniform and disproportionate.
