If I didn't fear the consequences, you guys would never see me write "black people" on this forum.
Why?

I prefer the alternative.
Is it a Southern thing?
Possibly. I'm going to start a thread on this at some point in the proximate future.

I believe there was also discussion of the n-word in the Mexicans thread and my gratuitous use of the term in my own private life. I don't entirely remember how we got there, but I can assure everyone:

That may have gotten AnnaBenedetti and the rest of the political correctness crowd in a bad mood. :noid:
Yes, the times have changed and almost nothing is politically correct anymore. People get offended by the silliest things. I have an old story book called "Little Black Sambo" that would be blacklisted today. Even Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer aren't safe from the PC crowd. But, blacks can call themselves the "n" word all day long and it's just fine. Just as gays can call themselves the "f" word all day long. Here I am, unable to even type the word lest some reader have himself a hissy fit. :nono:

It's actually no big thing.... I come from a family of loggers, construction workers, and red necks of all kinds (here in Oregon). I even have family members who have married blacks, and none of us have made "names" a big thing. But then, the liberals started creeping in and well, things change. :idunno:

Thank you, sir. I've been wanting to do that.

Disgruntled ex-Catholic. Now..."other." I, for one, couldn't care less what "other" means in this case, it still amounts to what it amounted to before.
Yep.

I think bigotry is very funny. People get stupid about all kinds of things. Dems are the biggest bigots around, they just try to hide it, and most Republicans aren't bigoted at all, but they're accused of being bigoted. Yeah, it's really pretty funny.

I got jumped on here once for saying the word "squaw", and I'm a quarter Cherokee. Go figure.

At least there aren't any Catholics. :chuckle:
Now that's bigoted. :sozo2:
What do you call the half-n-half ones, Trad?

Do you find black people to be inferior?
Why does it give you satisfaction to use the n-word gratuitously?
But to Anna's point. Even if you have severe moral failings, that is preferable to people who block dialog. To keep the website going, you must have dialog. Keeping people around with a keen moral conscience won't do that especially when they stir up trouble because they can't get along with the people they deem to be lacking a conscience.
If I know they're half and half?
I'm going to plead the fifth on that one.
If I don't?
I just call 'em like I see 'em. One drop and all.

Hello, Traditio.
Do you dislike black people?

That's a topic for a different thread. :idunno:
