Yes. That's the entire point. 2 different words that sound similar, but have very different contextual meanings.

Words have power. Like it or not, that is the simple truth. I'm not saying anyone needs to be thrown in jail or something like that. But there are things that people can say to you that would make you upset as well. That goes true for everyone on the planet.

Why does this matter at all? Why use a word all the time that is basically a word you're supposedly offended by all the time?
Black culture doesn't even really pronounce words that end in "er". Have blacks say "gangster" out loud, or "toaster". "Gangsta", "toasta".
People are just done, man. Society has bent over backwards for blacks for generations now and we still get blamed for the ungodly levels of degeneracy among a massive subgroup of blacks. Instead of trying to fix those problems, through shame, through responsible behavior, or through any other means, the apologists for this kind of behavior continue to shift the focus to something else that has literally no impact at all on the continued degeneracy of this subgroup.

You cannot possibly tell me that most blacks don't think "white privilege" is a huge reason blacks are disproportionately committing crimes, unemployed, poor, having kids out of wedlock...
When's the last time you've see the Democrat party (who blacks support by over 85%) condemn the actions of blacks for their problems?

Because we know what word we're using. We know what the word means. There's no confusion on our end.

And now you're just making up stuff to try and fit your narrative. Yes, certain cultures/areas of the country, people speak with a certain dialect or accent. This goes the exact same for white people as well. This goes the exact same in most countries with their languages as well. This has nothing to do with the N word in particular, nor is this something that only applies to black people.

So you agree. Words do have power. If you're married, I'm sure you already know there's certain things that your wife can say that would really annoy you/piss you off.
I'm not being weak minded. I'm just being honest and not trying to pretend as if I don't have emotions and I never get mad over anything, etc.
I don't expect you to find the N word offensive. That's fine. You don't have to understand. But people who pretend as if they have never once gotten upset over what someone has said before. They are either blatantly lying or just delusional.

So when Chris Rock was talking about it, what did he mean by "****s"?
It's the same exact damn thing that other people mean when they use the hard r.
Completely agree about other areas of the country not using ER. However if a white guy from Boston said "look at all these ****hs" you'd lose your mind right?
Just be honest; the word itself doesn't bother you. it's only when certain races use that word. It's just another way to inflate the completely backwards/made up victim mentality so many people in this country have.

Actually, there is no word a person can fling at me that would anger me. Most people don’t let others have the power to anger them with a word. They recognize the ignorance of the person using it, and then go on about their business.
Posted on 5/6/25 at 3:47 pm to QJenk
The only person that can make you mad is yourself. You allowing others actions to affect your emotions at the end of the day is your own fault. You cannot/should not allow someone to dictate how you feel day to day. No one can control you and your emotions but YOU. While I do not condone anything this woman did, you can't let someone (who most likely you will never see again) get under your skin. Who cares what some tatted up whitey said at a playground.
Like they taught us in the 3rd grade sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me mentality.

Don’t like a word but using a knife is all good.
Little dominique cannot stop running his mouth about father of Austin Metcalf who was murdered by his client. He is also backtracking on some items while mostly getting defensive about criticism on how he handled the situation with the father and his old mug shots.
In the middle he had to share that he didn’t care what others said about his past criminal records by actually saying he did care literally by using a double negative and figuratively with a overly defensive post stating way too many times how he doesn’t care while also referring to himself in the 3rd person once.

quote:
In Monday night's video, Alexander doubled down on those attacks and said his organization never called the police on Metcalf. They were there before Metcalf arrived, he said.
"This press conference wasn't organized by him," Alexander said. "This press conference wasn't about him. This press conference didn't invite him. Yet at the end of the day, it's a criminal case y'all."
"It's literally inappropriate, not only ethically, but it's inappropriate for that family to interact, and we don't know what we don't know," Alexander said. "And at the end of the day, I have to ensure that the safety of all of the parties are intact. Just someone showing up at our press conference, we can't just have that. We don't know what it is."
"One of our security people asked [Metcalf] to move back," Alexander said. "He looked at him like he was entitled, or like he didn't have to move, whatever it may be. I said, ‘Who? What?'" said Alexander. "[The media member] was like, ’Yeah, that's Austin's dad.' I said, ‘I know you're lying.' Like, 'What? He can't be here.'"
"And so what we initiated was making sure we secured the facility," he said. "How do we know what he came here for?"
In the middle he had to share that he didn’t care what others said about his past criminal records by actually saying he did care literally by using a double negative and figuratively with a overly defensive post stating way too many times how he doesn’t care while also referring to himself in the 3rd person once.

I really, quite frankly, don't. If you know me, you know your attacks towards me only do one thing: boost my ego. The reality is, I really don't, quite frankly, give a damn."

Do you want to know why the N word is offensive? If you want a real answer, here you go. It's because there is a lot of history associated with the word. Black people were brought over as slaves to this country in the 1600s. For 200 years, we were forced to be slaves with no rights. Even after slavery ended, we still truly didn't have rights until a century later. N...er was a word that white people would often call black people during that time. We were seen as second class citizens. We were seen as being less than the dirt under our shoe to white people. N...ers weren't just for certain class of black people. It wasn't just for people who broke the law. No, we were all seen as N...ers. No matter your occupation, age, race, etc. Nobody wants to live their life and to be subjected to violence and mistreatment their entire lives, all because of something that they cannot control. But that was the reality for black people for a very long time. N...er is a word that is remniscent of that entire time period. The word holds a lot of symbolism.
N...a is a word that was derived from N...er. Black people started using it for each other as an empowering move after we had zero power for so long in the country. Just like a large variety of words in the English language, it can have a couple of different definitions. You can decipher which definition is being used by context clues. Majority of the time, it's a term of endearment, basically another word for friend, homie, buddy, etc. It can also be used to refer to men, in general. A 3rd definition, it can be used to refer to ghetto folks. The type of people who don't have any home training. The type of people who you have to worry about shooting up the party, when you and your friends just simply wanted to meet girls and drink, etc. As I said, the 2 words are completely different with completely different meanings. One word was derived from the other. Despite what a lot of white people like to throw around, no, black people do not go around calling other black people N...er. We don't go around calling each other the word that our ancestors were beat to. It sounds similar, but it's not the same word.

Personally, I wouldn't. I can tell when a person is being racist or not. I can understand context. I don't care if you say N...a. I only care when you're being racist or have racist intent. But then again, some black people don't feel the same as I do. That doesn't change the fact that they are different words.
I have a feeling you care more about being right, and less about intellectually engaging in this conversation. I hope I'm wrong, however.

I can get on board w this. Wish more people were like that
Do you agree, though that when Chris Rock was talking about n******, he was just expressing what most people think when they say n***** with a hard r?
You also bring up a point I forgot to mention earlier; the legacy of slavery. How long is this going to be milked for? There was a lot less single motherhood, a lot less illiteracy, a lot less crime among blacks in the 1920s than there is today. How can things be getting worse for blacks in a social sense if slavery caused these pathologies?
Again, this overwhelming focus on the boogeyman of racism is doing literally nothing to improve the lives of the people these anti-racists supposedly care about. In fact it just makes it worse. You don't get rid of cancer by ignoring it and then throwing more glucose down your neck, yet these enablers are doing exactly that with the pathologies in that horrible subsect of Black culture.
Anecdotal story here; my mom and dad divorced when I was a kid and I didn't know my dad until I got back in touch with him in my very early twenties. I was still a good guy but I was irresponsible as s*** for most of my life... Until my dad and I got close again. I still goof off and have fun, but I'm way more responsible now because I saw the example of my dad everyday busting his arse and being organized to make a good life for himself and his family. Those are the kind of real life examples that are needed on a macro scale to improve all the problems going on in society, and it is happening in every racial group. Just happens that blacks are the worst of these groups.
I'm almost positive you and people like you mean well, but the focus on racism sn't helping anyone, bud.

Sure, i get what you're saying. I hear you, I really do. It's not like I'm walking around in tears everyday because of this woman. I just recognize that she's a racist a-hole who doesn't need to be defended. Just because I'm not afraid to say that out loud doesn't mean that I have no control over my emotions.
quote:I enjoy the quote, too. I try to live by that. But I also recognize the quote is not absolute truth as well. Everyone on the planet has a breaking point. Everyone on the planet has been hurt by words before, and will be hurt by words again.
Like they taught us in the 3rd grade sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me mentality.
For example, if a stranger was to walk up to my wife and call her a "stupid bitch". I would be pissed, and I'm going to respond in some way. I don't have kids, but if someone was to walk up to my child and say something very disrespectful or degrading. There's a very good chance that I will try to beat that person's arse. Perhaps you're different than me and this wouldn't move you at all. But I suspect otherwise.

Same with player as playa. It's lazy pronunciation better known as ebonics. The words, wether "a" or "er", mean the same. They will never admit it because it takes away their last refuge for cultural failure blamed on everyone but themselves.
