^Hey, you asked why we can't forget slavery didn't you I told you. I don't have it out for today's white folks for slavery, I have it out for those not sympathetic to slavery, and it's consequences. Like, when you say "get over it", that shit burns me up, because we're still suffering from those reprecussions to this very day. So how can we get over it. If someone chops of your arm, and years later the same people tell you to get over it, is just plain ignorance. You can't go back and replace that arm, so the least you can do is try to understand why & how we do things with our handicap....

^ ^ what does that mean?

Anyway... I was walking home from school today and I got to the conclusion of someones question dealing with the derogatory term "nigga".

There are 2 definitions.

Nigger is a curse and Nigga is equivalent to "Dude".

Dude can be racial too, for instance if a black guy walks up to a white guy and says "DUDE this or DUDE that" people observing this would presume that that Black guy is trying to be racist.

And consequently if a white guy walks to a black guy and says "NIGGA this and NIGGA that" people observing would presume that the White guy is trying to be racist.

But of course a black guy dressed in a surfers/skateboarders fashion saying DUDE this or DUDE that is excused as oppose to a "gangsta" dressed person.

And a White guy dressed as a "gangster" is excused in many cases as oppose to a buisness man saying "Nigga".



Oh and for the answer to the statement about forget slavery.

Forgetting slavery would be the stupidest choice to ever make. Being a black person and being taught that stuff from elementary through JH and I'm gonna again in HS. I think its not something to forget. Especially since there was also discrimination that lives on today. People playing this game look at the whole black population as the target. Not really ghetto people. When in fact black people like me are far from ghetto. I can't even dress the way I do without a stranger assuming I have a gun or staring at me excessively until I'm out of sight.

Ask your self this. How would you like that if black people were counting money and you came by they walked away or heightened there shoulders to block your view.

How would you like it if somebody off of the streets asked you how does weed taste?

How would you like if you went into the bank and all eyes are staring at you and all you want to do is make a deposit?

HOW?

^ good point, altough in Chicago we call people dudes all the time... it's more like dood, more than the caucasiac dewd. So that's strickly geographic.

Hey we've been doing good though, just play it safe and don't say it (N word), cause theres a chance you could get your clock cleaned, or maybe worse. All that pinned up anger, some ignorant folks is lookin for a reason to bust somebodies ass.

And with so much racial struggle and tension, why fuel it by coming out with a game that profits off of racial stereo types? Why is it not wrong? Just cause theres a nigger on the front and it doesn't say "this is a nigger" under it doesn't mean it's not offensive...
