whats funny is that in urban areas, EVERYBODY (well damn near everybody of all ethnicities...whites included) say that shit out here in cali on a normal basis. i dont really get it. i dont use the word unless im joking around and being a total dick to my black friends. and when i do that, i make sure to over emphasize the r in it. lmao. beyond that, i really dont use it at all. seriously, its just not my steez.

exactly. but i don't say it because i'm not an ignorant dumbass who wants to make a big deal over the fact that them and their precious little suburban friends can't say one word in the fuckin dictionary... boo hoody hoo. get over it. there is a historical reason why it is a sensitive word, and i think us not being able to say one word in the dictionary is a little bit trite compared to the REASON why we can't say it. and please, don't say "well i wasn't the one that enslaved anybody" because the answer to that is NO SHIT, thats why its called history. that is still the reason why tenderness surrounds that word in our society... or at least it should. and this is not to even mention the absurdity of the fact that soooooo much discussion goes on over whether blacks should be able to say the "n word" when the majority of blacks live below the poverty line and are the victims of the oppression that has made their culture used to operating in the way it does, and NOBODY wants to talk about that. its such bullshit. seriously, think about what's important and what yall's little middle school mentality asses want to bitch and whine about. |

For an anti racist person, you're pretty stereotypical, and I fucking dig it :headbang: |
^ that isn't stereotypical. I'm in an African American Rhetoric class, and this type of thing comes up a lot... Du Bois, Hughes, Ellison, all of them spoke in terms like Indeph is. It isn't stereotyping, but instead it is a way of generalizing how other communities operate in order to properly observe how the African American community operates. Culture can't be ignored, and how Indeph is really speaking is in terms of culture. Not trying to correct you just because of our argument in that other thread, but that is a really important concept to understand... and i'll explain more what I mean if you want.
PS - I really wish somebody who i was addressing would respond and try to argue against that long ass argument i made. |

I was only refering to when he said asian people worship white people |
^ As was I. White people are the hegemony (the dominant ideology). Therefore, when any other group does not imitate (or worship, or wish to live up to) the ideals of that dominant ideology, they are oppressed. Theoretically, this is true in any democratic capitalistic society. Indeph was saying that in general, Asians in America, in ideological terms, accept the role of living up to that "whiteness." Blacks do not, and are therefore discriminated against (systemically as well as ideologically).
Yall may be studying "debating," but this is what I'm studying :thumbup: |
i once KOed a black dude for bumping into me and raising his arms and saying "nigga what!!"
i pushed him down some stairs and when he got back up i king hit him full strength and he dropped like a sack of shit and didnt get back up...... dude was pretty big too... im 6'1 and he pretty much towered over me, but he was lanky... not that im totally offended by that word, i guess in the situation it was more of a context thing... but at the same time, i do think its pretty gay to call a white guy a nigger... if one of my friends said it to me, id prolly be like .........huh? |

that statement is assuming something though... that black people are "niggers." |

It's still stereotypical to say asians worship the white man. Because first things first, when he says it he's only refering to orientals, which is already stereotypical because there's so many other countries in Asia. And second, because i'm pretty sure orientals in general don't worship white people. Maybe want what the rich ones have, but that's as far as it goes. You guys should actually meet more oriental people and talk to them or something loll. |
Oriental culture is one of the proudest cultures out there man

I'm asian. FUCK THE WHITE MAN! |

arrgh... i realize this, and i realize asian culture is proud, and i'm not trying to take that away from them. what you have to understand is that we aren't speaking on the individual level. we're speaking on the ideological level, and how entire cultures OPERATE in relation to each other and in relation to the dominant hegemony... once again, not on the individual level. most of the time when entire cultures operate in a certain way the people don't even REALIZE its happening, let alone do anything to purposely encourage it. i'm not saying asians aren't proud, and i'm not even really arguing ANYTHING about asians, Indeph made the statement... i'm just trying to help you understand the terms in which he/we are speaking. |
