Have you heard about this? http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-04-30-n-word-funeral_N.htm?csp=34 The NAACP and the city of Detroit , their so called hip hop mayor had a funeral for the word nigger. Let's talk about Bullshit and media hype. Detroit, like they have nothing better to do then bury a word. It burns me up that the so called African American people of this country that are actually repsonsible for high drug use , murder with firearms and using racial slurs still are the ones accusing people of racism.

You think that the rappers and hip hop artists are going to stop using the word nigger in their lyrics? These are the same people that refer to themselves as Nigger just in casual talk. What other ethnic group uses slurs for themselves? I don't walk around to my neighbors and say "What's up Cracker". I've never heard a Mexican refer to each other as the wetback across the street. The list goes on.

Let me end this little rant by stating that I am not prejudice. I just feel the racial problems in this country are still alive mostly ( Not entirely) from the black communities complaining about themselves.

Very good post. It's a shame there's nothing better for Detroit politicians to do.

BTW, the word "African American" really gets on my nerves. Not all black people are from Africa, and not everyone from Africa is black. I'm a white guy, a black guy is a black guy, what's their problem, anyway?

Let me end this little rant by stating that I am not prejudice. I just feel the racial problems in this country are still alive mostly ( Not entirely) from the black communities complaining about themselves.

If the Mayor was elected a community leader...and the Mayor was asked to make some gesture reduce the racial strife in that city...and the gesture was intended to be received by blacks and whites and all others, what is so terrible about it? What is wrong with it? Are they supposed to do nothing about it because they are black? They are citizens like anyone else, with concerns like anyone else.

The Mayor in Detroit has no responsibility for what happens in the world of rap music, drug addictions, or anything else like that. You say you are not a racist, yet it almost appears that you leveled some accusations at the black community. The truth is, not every Black person in America follows the stereotype that you present here. There are other races committing crimes and singing raps and using the word Nigger as well...blacks dont have the exclusive on that, and not every Black person permits that sort of behavior in their home. Insofar as your reference to crime....being a criminal is either something you "are" or you "arent." It just depends on whether or not you happen to be committing criminal acts at a given point in your life. Crime really doesnt have any racial lines to it, unless someone chooses to ascribe racial lines to it for propaganda, or to swing an election, or some other subversive purpose. No one wakes up in the morning, looks at themselves in the mirror and says "I am black....I must commit crime today because I am black." No one does that, and it is wrong to put forth such nonsense.

Perhaps the Mayor's gesture was meant to send a simple message to all people. It may well be that in Detroit, the Mayor and others would like to see a change in the way all people behave and treat each other. Symbolicly burying the "N" word might spark a movement designed to let the word and the concept pass on into history, and have little or no place to occupy in our future. Bury the word....bury the stereotypical aspects....bury negative behaviors...create a more peaceful co-existance. Nothing is wrong with any of that.

I remember Detroit. I spent much of my time there. My family is there. I remember in the 60's hearing "Stupid Pollocks" "Stupid Wops" "Kikes" "Coons" "Spearchuckers" "Krauts" "Nips" "Chinks" etc...etc...etc ....... such words were common place among the citizenry in Detroit at that time. You see, Detroit was a real melting pot of racial hatred in those days and it was not limited to the blacks by any means. In time, racial slurrs went away....only the slurs directed at Blacks and Jews seemed to remain steadfast, but now, they too were somewhat fading away. The City will one day not be divided along racial lines in connection politics. I am sure that the Mayor grew up in Detroit and saw and heard some things, and he may have vowed to be instrumental in effecting a positive change.

In time...with the help of symbolic gestures and a public that slowly grows away from the concept of negative racism, the words "Kike" and "Nigger" and other derogatory racial slurs will fade from the "normal" scene in American, just like other such words have left us in the past. It will open yet a new era for us to explore. Things might just heal.

Maybe there were other ways to do this besides holding a funeral for the "N" word...but I can appreciate some things in the gesture. I certainly dont think that gesture was made to spark a riot.

If you have African blood in your veins, then you have a right to refer to yourself as such. You dont have to be African born to be African.

I happen to be of a German Mother and Polish Father. I speak quite a bit of German. If I want to, I can claim Polish or German, or BOTH for that matter. My Son was born in the old country....he lives here now....and he is not required to forget who he is or where he comes from, or how his family came to be in the World.

If we subscribe to a "WHITE" and "BLACK" exclusive labeling system, then next you will want to pass City Ordinances against all these little towns that hold "German Fests" or "May Fests" or "October Fests" at which Lederhosen is worn, and German music and beer are the order of the day. I have drank beer with blacks at those festivals. If they want to have an African celebration, then that is just as well. I just worked part time at a Nigerian Reunion Festival in Dallas a few nights ago. A few thousand black people showed up. We had not one fight, and no one was smoking dope in the parking lot or the bathroom. The drinking was much more moderate than it was in the German Fests.

I tell you that times are changing from what they were....society is moving ahead of the negativity that was there in the past. It is not yet gone....but we are better off than we were. Let the progess continue. Dont hamper it by pointing fingers.

this is what i find troubling...people are unwilling or unable to realize that words only have the value we give them....no matter what ya say, guys...it ain't gonna keep us from finding derogatory things to say about each other, and with the first amendment, it should be that way, imo....blacks, negroes, niggers, coons, etc will always be in the vocabulary, if only in certain areas....just like kike, cracker, honky, spic, etc....personally, i don't find words offensive, only the intent behind them....blacks will continue to call each other nigger regardless of what the laws state, and i can't wait to hear about the aclu coming to the rescue if the local government tries to make it illegal....

Walter you've obviously completely and totally MISSED what I was saying.
First off , black people DO NOT have the right to call themselves niggers and then get pissed when someone else does I don't care who it is or what race. If you believe that then you've fell into their little game of ignorance thinking that it isn't prejudice.

What I was saying (If you'd go BACK and read it again) that they cause problems doing these things. I don't like anyone complaining about something they do themselves.

Want to solve racism ( Which would never happen ) then you have to be fair about how everyone acts about it. Your WRONG Walt, they don't have a right to call themselves NIGGER. Honestly the black people of this country need to stop complaining about slavery too , it's over and it's been over for a long time GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON!

By the way , your stories were irrelevant again. I have black friends and they feel this exact same way. They also can talk about it rationally without telling me I'm racist.

The whole thing is a very stupid idea that pre-empts our basic right to free speech. As long as I’m not walking up to someone and attacking/abusing them with racial slurs, I should be free to talk shit about Niggers, Wetbacks, Gooks, Spics, Degos, Sandcoons, and anyone else I want to shit about.

Consider this... it starts with one word, then the control branches out to other issues, before you know it, we are in Soviet Russia. Why not use common sense about when and where you speak, just to be polite. I’m sure there’s not another race out there that doesn’t get frustrated with white people and talk amongst themselves about how stupid crackers/whiteys/honkeys, etc. behave.

WALTER WEISS REPLIES IN BLUE TEXT:

What happened to your concept of free speech? Is that not a right you demand? Are the same black people using the word Nigger, the same ones that are getting pissed? Anyone using the word NIGGER regardless of whether thay are BLACK or WHITE and hiding behind free speech as an excuse for their immoral bullshit behavior in using the word is WRONG!!! By the way, "NIGGER" is defined as slang for "FOOL" in some dictionaries. In others it might be indicated as a racial slur. Which is the right of it?

What I was saying (If you'd go BACK and read it again) that they cause problems doing these things. I don't like anyone complaining about something they do themselves.

People in general cause problems. We have problems in these chat rooms and foums. Problems are forever. Many white people use the word "Nigger" and then they get pissed off if they catch a black person using it or complaining about it. Yes...the word "problems" is an apt description. There are many problems in the world.

Want to solve racism ( Which would never happen ) then you have to be fair about how everyone acts about it. Your WRONG Walt, they don't have a right to call themselves NIGGER. Honestly the black people of this country need to stop complaining about slavery too , it's over and it's been over for a long time GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON!

There is free speech in this country...so they do have a right to call themselves Nigger, which is the label and moniker of an ignorant slave. It is not a good thing to use that word, or generate unreasonable complaints from it. However; I do know that many black people have never uttered a word of protest about slavery, as they consider it acts in history before their time, and they live without issue of it in this country in our society today. I for one believe that all slave owners are long dead and passed. All slaves are long dead and passed. Black soldiers fought alongside white soldiers in the civil war, and Lincoln guaranteed a black soldier equal pay to a white soldier. Many whites and blacks died upon the battlefield. When the war ended, a black was immediately elected to Congress. Slavery was outlawed, and all should have moved on. Slavery has been dead for 140 years...the shame of it was paid for in blood of the slain Sons in the war of the rebellion. It is over. I agree with you wholeheartedly that it is over.

By the way , your stories were irrelevant again. I have black friends and they feel this exact same way. They also can talk about it rationally without telling me I'm racist.

Some of your posts seem racially motivated because of the contents. You give the appearance that you want free speech, but you seem to want others to have limited speech because they are black. You think because they are black, they should not be allowed to say Nigger, or get pissed when someone else says it. They have free speech dont they? You expect blacks to act a certain way, and then ignore behaviors of non-blacks acting in the contrary. Hard to understand your irony. Racism will never be totally cured, but it does not have to be prevelent in society either. We no longer have "white only" signs posted in this country. We no longer have city ordinances requiring blacks to give up seats to whites on crowded buses. We are progressing in our time. Some signs were still here in Texas in little communities right up into the early 1980s and they are now long gone. So you see, racism does not have to be prevalent. It can AND does improve with healthy thinking and actions.

My responses to any posts belong to me...and I have free speech....just like you....and if I want to mention some things in my posts that are important to me, but seem irrelevent to you, then I can and will do so, just like you are going to do. I dont have to meet your standards on post-structure anymore than you have to meet mine. You can either enjoy, or be annoyed...it is purely up to you...or you can make every effort to kiss my German-Polish azz.

The biggest double standard is you having a brain and it not working correctly. It would seem that you take a lot of what everyone says here , make up your own meaning and then preach about how we are all wrong and then adding that we are Democrat losers. I think we are a bit sick of your God Damn preaching around here Walt.

Not once did I say that anyone shouldn't have free speech, I said about being fair and what is good for the goose is good for the gander , but you can't see that can you Walt? I said that race should not matter because you should not use racial slurs even to describe yourself or your people, can you understand that? I'm guessing not....

You seem to be playing the racial card lately Walt, wonder why? You also seem to support racial slander all in the same breath. So which is it Walt?

Walter Weiss Replies:

Racial Slander Moron? I dont "do" racial slander Moron....I AM WELL KNOWN AS ONE WHO SPEAKS OUT AGAINST RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION, AND YOU DAMN WELL KNOW IT....THAT IS WHY YOU HAPPEN TO BE ANGRY WITH ME TODAY. I respond to it, because this is an open forum, and I have the right of free speech AND A RIGHT TO DEBATE. IF YOU CANT RUN WITH THE BIG DOGS, THEN KEEP YOUR LITTLE AZZ ON THE PORCH.

You are a moron that screams for free speech, yet you attack others for exercising it. You are racist in many of your posts, you hate being challenged on any issue, yet you participate in debate forums, you seem to believe in your own racial superiority, AND YOU WILL PROBABLY NEVER GROW BEYOND THAT AS A PERSON.

I havent played the RACE CARD as you accuse me of, and you know it. YOU YOURSELF PLAYED THE RACE CARD, AND WERE TRUMPED AND BEATEN BY THE COMMON-SENSE AND MORALITY CARD; AND YOU DID NOT LIKE IT. SO RATHER THAN DEBATE THE MATTER, YOU LASHED OUT AND ATTEMPTED TO PORTRAY YOURSELF AS SOME SORT OF SUPERIOR BEING.....THE PORTRAYAL OF SUPERIOR BEING IS WHAT LEAD YOU INTO RACIALLY MOTIVATED POSTING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

YOUR MENTION OF THE DEMORAT BUSINESS....IF IT HAPPENS THAT YOU VOTE DEMORAT.....(I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU VOTE).....THEN YOU ARE REASON ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO CONSIDER VOTING REPUBLICAN. I WILL TELL YOU THAT THE BASTARDS IN THE KLAN AROUND HERE IN NORTH TEXAS TELL US THAT THEY VOTE DEMORAT TO A MAN, SO I AM NOT SURPRISED AT YOUR NEGATIVE RACISM BEHAVIORS. I HAVE HEARD BULLSHIT LIKE YOURS SPOUTED AMONG OTHER RADICAL HATE GROUP MEMBERS, AND I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WHEN I SEE YOUR POSTINGS.

AMERICA IS ONLY FOR YOU, RIGHT??? EVERYONE ELSE BETTER KEEP THEIR MOUTH SHUT WHEN YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES ARE AROUND, RIGHT??? FREE SPEECH JUST FOR YOU, RIGHT?? LIMITED SPEECH FOR THE BLACKS AND EVERYONE ELSE IN YOUR ENLIGHTENING HOLY PRESENCE, RIGHT???? SICK OF MY PREACHING, RIGHT???? DOESNT THAT AMOUNT TO YOUR TELLING SOMEONE TO SHUT UP ON A PUBLIC FORUM??? IS THAT BEHAVIOR IN CONFIRMATION OF YOUR BELIEF IN RIGHTS AND FREE SPEECH???? YOU YELL AND SCREAM WHEN OTHERS PRACTICE FREE SPEECH....BUT YOU WANT THE RIGHT FOR YOURSELF EXCLUSIVE....YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT DOUBLE STANDARDS MORON? YOURS IS THE DOUBLE STANDARD CHARACTERISTIC OF A RACIST HYPOCRITE.....IS THAT FREE SPEECH ENOUGH FOR YOUR AZZ??

AND LISTEN MORON, I NEVER, EVER, CALLED YOU A DEMORAT LOSER.....I CALLED YOU A MORON......AND NO ONE NEEDS TO CALL YOU A DEMORAT LOSER. SO GO IRON AND STARCH YOUR KLAN ROBE AND HEAD OUT TO YOUR WEEKLY CROSS BURNING. MAYBE YOU LEARN ALL YOUR SORT OF WITTY THINGS AT YOUR CROSS BURNING TO COME BACK IN HERE AND POST ABOUT OTHER RACIAL GROUPS I WILL BET. WHEN YOU GET DONE WITH THE WEEKLY CROSS BURNING, YOU CAN COME AND KISS MY POLLOCK/GERMAN AZZ....WHILE YOU TELL ME HOW SUPERIOR YOU ARE, AND TELL ME WHAT A SUBHUMAN I AM....

FREE SPEECH.....DONT YA JUST LOVE IT??

I completely agree. You do not see white people going around and calling each other "cracker" do you?

As for the slavery issue being brought up as a reason for black people to justify doing something wrong or why they refuse to get off welfare (granted, there are a lot of other races on welfare, but they have excuses as to why they are on it), no one alive today owned slaves. None of the people using it as an excuse were slaves. So that issue should have been dead long, long ago, but it is still brought up today.

I received a joke in my email the other day that is so true. It stated:

"Jesse Jackson walked into Sears one day and noticed that all of the washing machines were white. He complained to a sales associate and started getting very vocal and angry. He asked to speak to the manager. When the manager came out, he asked Jackson what was bothering him. Jackson told him that all of the washing machines were white and he thought it was racist. The manager said 'Rev. Jackson the washing machines may be white, but if you open the lids, all the agitators are black.'"

LMAO , loved the joke. I could see myself saying that to Mr. Jackson myself. He is another topic altogether isn't he?!? Claims to fight for African American rights but really only keeps the slave hate and prejudice alive. This is a man that NEEDS there to be racial diffrences and problems to be in the spotlight of society. What kind o fman is that then really? No Mr. Jackson , I 'm not judging you by your race buy by simply your character.

Either way Mrs. Jim ,Great post.

WALTER WEISS REPLIES: No one, regardless of their politics, can honestly say that the act of hating or discriminating against another human being based on RACE, would be a logical thing to do, or even a kind and decent thing to do. RACISM is wrong, whether you are liberal or conservative. Being a racist is not a qualification that you have to meet to be a Republican party member or supporter. RACISM in anyone's society is destructive, and it leads to an overall devaluation of human life. Racism has at times in our modern history culminated in acts of mass genocide.

What good....for anyone....ever came from Racism?

Racism victimizes everyone...and any black person that would claim only blacks are victims of racism, is a God Damn Liar. People have been attacked, beaten, raped, and killed solely for being "white" in many places throughout modern history. Many have suffered the same fate simply for being black. Tribal and Indigenous peoples in various places on the Earth have been hunted for sport in modern history, and shot down like rabbits in a clover field for the shear joy of killing. Genocide actually took place in accordance with law during the lifetime of my parents! The incidents of racial hatred and racial discrimination will reduce in number in proportion to the education of younger generations about the damage left in our history by racism. I doubt it will ever be totally eliminated, but I do know it can improve.

I also strongly suspect that what must be worse than a racist, would be any person or organization that capitalizes on racism for personal gain. I suspect some of the agitators of doing just that in our country. It makes my heart glad when I hear some of their very own race turning away from these agitators when they begin to recognize their agenda as a fraudulent one. THAT I truly regard as TRUE PROGRESS toward reducing negative incidents arising from racism.

I do certainly agree with you, Wally, it's just not something you'd normally expect to hear from such a right-winger. I mean, we all know George Bush doesn't like black people... :D

WALTER WEISS REPLIES: No one, regardless of their politics, can honestly say that the act of hating or discriminating against another human being based on RACE, would be a logical thing to do, or even a kind and decent thing to do. RACISM is wrong, whether you are liberal or conservative. Being a racist is not a qualification that you have to meet to be a Republican party member or supporter. RACISM in anyone's society is destructive, and it leads to an overall devaluation of human life. Racism has at times in our modern history culminated in acts of mass genocide.

What good....for anyone....ever came from Racism?

Racism victimizes everyone...and any black person that would claim only blacks are victims of racism, is a God Damn Liar. People have been attacked, beaten, raped, and killed solely for being "white" in many places throughout modern history. Many have suffered the same fate simply for being black. Tribal and Indigenous peoples in various places on the Earth have been hunted for sport in modern history, and shot down like rabbits in a clover field for the shear joy of killing. Genocide actually took place in accordance with law during the lifetime of my parents! The incidents of racial hatred and racial discrimination will reduce in number in proportion to the education of younger generations about the damage left in our history by racism. I doubt it will ever be totally eliminated, but I do know it can improve.

I also strongly suspect that what must be worse than a racist, would be any person or organization that capitalizes on racism for personal gain. I suspect some of the agitators of doing just that in our country. It makes my heart glad when I hear some of their very own race turning away from these agitators when they begin to recognize their agenda as a fraudulent one. THAT I truly regard as TRUE PROGRESS toward reducing negative incidents arising from racism.

Walter, it is already the law that anyone who violently acts upon a person for any reason (race included) can be brought up on charges. If I were to haul off and punch a Mexican in the nose, I would be in jail right now for these actions. What the NAACP is implying through its propoganda was that if I was out tonight partying with my buddies and said "that damn nigger at Wal-Mart pissed me off..." that I deserve to go to jail as a result... this inflicts on free speech laws, and specifically targets anyone for speaking their minds (refer to my post in 'News and Politics')... which should be illegal unless we are a communist country (which we are not)...

If you disagree, then ask yourself what it would be like if the goverment had such strict control over our lives... the food we eat, the amount of water we use, the car we drive... we do not want government intervention, that's why Soviet Russia stays on the other half of the globe.

Actually, that's why we totally kicked the Soviet out of Russia's ass. The USS Russia has been stripped of rank and dignity. Take that, commies. http://forum.bullshit.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Now, how is it you can claim to know that for sure? Is Condi a WHITE WOMAN???

Did Massah George jump up in front of you and order you to get all the black boys out from in front of his car???

Where in the hell did you get that nonsense? That family has several personal friends...some of them hand picked Secret Service Agents...that are blacks.

WALTER WEISS REPLIES: You are talking ancient history, and an ancient law. IT IS ILLEGAL for ANY PERSON to recklessly engage in verbage or gestures in a public place that would tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace, in that the actor was wantonly reckless in his action as to who might be offended by such an act. Everyone has a reasonable expectation of peace in a public place. Anyone walking into a restaurant, and loudly referring to the occupants as a bunch of stupid wops and niggers would most certainly and immediately incite an immediate breach of the peace, and others present would be likely to be offended by such an act. It would culminate in a brawl that would injure others. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FREE SPEECH. THIS HAS TO DO WITH DISORDERLY CONDUCT AND ILL CONCEIVED BEHAVIORS THAT UPSET THE PEACE FOR ALL PEOPLE PRESENT. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FREE SPEECH. IT HAS TO DO WITH PUBLIC PEACE. FREE SPEECH IS ANOTHER MATTER, UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. FREE SPEECH DOES NOT GIVE ANYONE THE RIGHT TO BE ABUSIVE TO OTHERS IN YOUR MOVEMENTS, GESTURES, AND VERBIAGE IN A PUBLIC PLACE, AND THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO IN THE USA IN EVERYONE'S TOWN.

DONT TWIST THIS INTO SOMEHTHING ELSE.

FURHTERMORE....IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ILLEGAL FEDERALLY TO ATTACK AND ASSAULT ANOTHER PERSON SOLELY FOR THE REASON THAT THEY ARE A DIFFERENT RACE THAN YOU ARE. If you cant prove that element of the crime, then the local establishments will simply charge you with common assault. If you plan to attack someeone, and then attack them because they are of a certain race, in an act of racial oppression, you have violated federal criminal law. If you attack someone for a non-racial issue, then it is assault. YOU ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED WITH A VIOLATION OF LAW IF SOMEONE HAPPENS TO BE A MINORITY. THAT IS JUST NOT TRUE.

After Katrina, some black guy got on TV blaming Bush for his failure in New Orleans. He said an infamous line, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." I was just poking fun at that.

You are talking about hate crimes, which are indeed illegal, stemming from the days of the KKK and all that.

I was not defending any form of unnecessary violence. The issue on the table was not allowing someone to say a word that may offend another person (ANYWHERE!) ... If someone doesn't want to be offended, they shouldn't offend me to the point that I make an offense. Respect is a privilege, not a right. If someone wants my respect, they should respect me in ways like speaking English in my presence, turning their stereo down to a reasonable volume, and not stealing or vandalizing my shit. Once they cross that line of respect, they should expect none in return. I am not unreasonable, but I may be vendictive at times.
