You aren't allowed to say negro (or ni**er), they blur it out on tv, yet people can say cracker and stuff without consequences. No I don't think that people should say nigger or anything I just was wondering what you thought. This is not ment to be a black vs. white or anything racist.



















I consider it racist. Maybe it does not have the history of the "N word" but that does not make it any less offensive. It's a derogatory slur aimed at a person referring to the color of their skin.
I dint care how you dress it up or down .. Both are racial slurs.
No one says that an Asian country needs multiCULTuralism.
Yet in ALL & ONLY White countries, anti-Whites posing as “anti-racists” demand those countries stop being White and become “multicultural”. This is genocide – the targeted destruction of a group.
Stop watching Faux news and read a few history books. The same fools that claim that so-called 'reverse-racism' is a huge issue would agree that cracker is just as bad or worse.
Posts like this bring out the true racists.
What can we do about this as individuals? Well, we can stop personal bigotry against those groups. That means using language that does not offend or denigrate those groups, or an individual who belongs to one of those groups. If we stop personal bigotry, and don't tolerate personal bigotry from others, we will eventually erode instutionalized bigotry.
It isn't nice, considerate, respectful or decent for people to use derogatory names towards caucasian, male, Christian, heterosexual or able-bodied people, and I believe we should all avoid it, but it does not in any way contribute to institutionalized bigotry or toward keeping those people down (because they aren't down to begin with).
It's a long explanation, but that is why I believe it's far more harmful to use "racist" language when referring to minority groups than it is when referring to the majority groups.
