Are YOU serious that I "labeled him as hating all black people"?

I really do like you as a person and we have a lot in common. But you are really, really wearing on me with your diatribes against Muslims and blacks and other ppl who you seem to hate for some reason. I put you on ignore when you/me first showed up here. I hate to put you back on ignore.... but really. Why is it necessary for you to be such a hater? :(

Inversion fallacy. This is YOUR problem. YOU are the one being a racist by bringing up such models and accusing others of them.

Saying the N word is not inherently racist is fighting words. Don't go there. Anyone who tries that being racist.
I wrote honkey because it's basically funny and to mock the absurdity of parrot guy. That is inherently racist. If I say otherwise I am lying.

Why can't you people be fucking honest for once...ever. Breaking out a dusty tome to defend the N word. Please. YUGE eyeroll.
He knows what he is doing.

The only way you can take that as fighting words is to be racist yourself.
 
Looks to me like there's two completely different sets of rules...and clearly different "definitions"... when it comes to defining "racist" here...how shocking, right?;)

It doesn't. It's just more nonsense from racists who want to pretend that they're not. Anyone who has read any books written in the 1800s or through mid-20th century about the South has seen the word used. Sometimes they say "nigra(s)", the more educated used "Negro(s)", sometimes "darkies," but most often "nigger(s)." It began as shorthand for African slaves, then post-Civil War it became a pejorative. It's part of a lexicon of ugly words to describe those who were other -- spics, greasers, wops, coons, wetbacks, chinks, kikes, dagos, pollacks, krauts, slants, micks, redskins, injuns, gooks, spooks, squaws, honky, crackers, ragheads, towel heads, nips, etc. Racists and xenophobics use the term to make sure that we understand that those ppl are not like us... and inferior to boot.

From Wikipedia: "Nigger / nigra / nigga / niggah / nigguh
(U.S., UK) An offensive term for a black person. From the word negro, which means the color black in numerous languages. Diminutive appellations include Nigg and Nigz. Over time, the terms nigga and niggaz (plural) have come to be frequently used between some African-Americans without the negative associations of nigger."

THis isnt the origins of the word. I posted the origins. Wiki doesnt go into the origins.

You called him a racist for stating the origins of the word.

Why? That isn't racist. Do you do it to impress the other haters and liars here?

Seems when you are asked to back up something, like why you label this poster as a racist and Ms. Michigan as a "fascist", you don't like it very much. You assassinate the characters of others and no one is supposed to question what you base it on?

When someone denies that an offensive racist word or term is racist and offensive, he is pretending that using it is not hurtful to those the word(s) target. I'm sure you've seen ppl here call each other "cunt"... and then argue that it's just a word. Do you agree with that? Does it bother you to be called that word? What if someone in real life called you that? Do you feel like since they're "just words," you'd be good with calling a woman you see in the store wearing a burka a "Muzzie" or "Muslime"? Would you call out to your server in a restaurant, "Hey, nigga, get me some more Coke"?

Talk about inversion fallacy. This is a typical statement by a racist -- "No, YOU'RE the racist for pointing out that *I* am."

You need some new material. This schtick is a fail.

Where did Into the Night say the word is never offensive or ever defend using it? Where did I say words are never offensive?

Please show me, because I missed it.

I guess you can't answer the question?

Well, Mujer de Buho (is that racist) you (and the radical Democrat Socialists) appear to be obsessed with the color of a person’s skin.

From my perspective, it is being used by the left to silence the right or to score some kind of silly points against anyone on the right. I use “radical Democrat Socialists” because it is an accurate depiction of that group. They don’t even deny that there are that.They relish it.

Acknowledged that there are people who judge by the color of the skin, both black and white.I am married to a Latina, a minority, and I have heard those judgements. But only very rarely.

There is no need for an excuse because the Tweets were not racist. He said what most people believe, if you hate this country and want to fundamentally CHANGE our country, you should leave. I am one of those people
Why did Omar leave Somalia for America to change our country?

Most people have moved on from race. You should too, Mujer de Buho. (Is that racist)?

Ah yes, the good old "we live in a post-racial society." Let's see you walk into a gathering of, for instance, black people -- at a game, church, etc. -- and announce that. Bring bandaids.

BTW, when you were 10 yrs old, did your parents give you a say on where the family should live? I bet Omar's didn't either.

Well, Mujer de Buho, my family did not emigrate from a third word country like Somalia to America and then demand that America CHANGE.

If you don’t think that the lives of all minorities have improved, greatly, then you are not paying attention.

Note the unemployment rate for blacks and Hispanics, the lowest in history.

The radical, Democrat Socialists keep racism alive, for political gain.

There are three (3) black members at my club who are on the Board with me. Two are lawyers and one a business owner. Small sampling, agreed, but they do not speak of race, they speak of their admiration for President Trump and what he has done for minorities and all Americans.

I never spoke of a “post-racial society.” I did say that I rarely hear racial slurs.

Are you suggesting that blacks at a game or church would react violently (bandaids) if it was suggested that conditions for them have improved?

Um...that might be construed as...racist, Mujer de Buho.

The theory used to be that the more you mock those words the more their power is lessened. That's of course until the race hustlers got involved and realised that it was an excellent way to intimidate and humiliate.

Nah. The theory was simply shock value to make money in most cases.
