That is irrelevant to this story, you're just trying to deflect away from it.

I'm discussing what happened, you want to discuss other things that are not happening in this story.

It's safe to assume the word wasn't "diet"

The fact that you try to equate those words is funny. Anything to justify your bias

So why do non-black people typically use that word?

she should catch more hell for trying to get an employee fired than she should for using the n word...or is using the n word worse than trying to mess with someones job to you?

I'm white, why would I want to call people honkey or cracker? YOU NAILED IT!!!

Again, it's irrelevant to this story, but you already know that.

They're both reasons to get her fired.

Probably in a derogatory sense.

However, I've seldom if ever, seen it used in direct interaction with a black person.

Now answer MY question: why do black people use it?

So you agree, they use it to be offensive, right?

Ask a black person? That's not relevant to this discussion, why are you bringing it up and why are you asking a white person what black people do?

To be offensive.

Can you point me in the direction of where that occurred in this story?

DEFLECT!!! Your nonsense has nothing to do with THIS story.

quote:

Let me make you look foolish real quick, before you're done with me:

It's NOT said to be offensive

It's said to be derogatory


So basically, this poster thinks that if you use a derogatory term to describe a group of people, you're NOT being offensive.



Poor dude can't keep track of his posts.

People can argue about double standards and whether or not someone would get suspended if they used a certain word, but it really comes down to this.

No matter what you think, just don't give them a reason to fire or suspend you. Someone could say things, that are against policy, all the time and no one seems to ever think twice about it, but if something happens and they suddenly need a reason to fire you.. they have it.

There is the argument "why is it wrong for white people to say the N word, but blacks say it to each other all the time?". It has more to do with the context.... or the perceived context. Then there is the difference between "er" and "a".

It's like the word bitch. If two female friends are talking and joking around and one tells the other "you are such a bitch" and she says "I know" and they both laugh... hahaha... If those same two women were having lunch and some random dude went up to them and yelled "both of yall are dumb raggedy bitches!".. Is that the same?

Nope.

What I said, in essence, is that you're losing your mind over this.


The "nope" was in response to your question as to what I was saying. As should have been clear with my next statement beginning with "What I said..."

I'm afraid it's you that looks foolish here. Perhaps a reading comprehension class would help you?

Says word is offensive, then says one is looking to be offended. Says others look foolish.


You're doing a great job here, we're all so proud of you!!!
