African American, Negro, Black, People of African Decent...All those words and you chose to use the "N" word....Times really havent changed..I need a :smoke:


I think his choice of word makes a real point, and he got the reaction he was looking for.

I doubt at the KKK rally they said "Let's go find us some People of African Decent" The people that used the word "******" as part of their everyday vocabulary, and of course those that still do, are now considered insolent bigoted morons. However, in a free society, we must tolerate the insolent bigoted moron point of view. I believe that in order to illuminate how insolent those old views are that we do not sugar coat their actions, words, or expressions. By whispering it or trading a more tolerant word in its place, or the stupid "N-Word" expression, we take away from the fact that hate, bigotry, and intolerance cannot be made to go away just because we don't want to say the words out loud.
I don't say that the John Deere workers at the Waterloo Blackhawks hockey game called me a "fraternal brother with feminine characteristics". Those bastards called me a "frat pussy faggot". Because I repeat what they said does not make me less of a person for using the words, it shows what assholes those guys really were.

There are times when words we hate are appropriate to use. I do not think Tropixxx choice of words was intended to hurt but to illuminate a point.
