Lens Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 calling someone a "guy" was an insult in england traditionally, a "guy" was a model of a man that You would burn on bonfire night, symbolising burning Guy Fawkes until Americans started saying "nice guy" etc we then copied it from American mainstream media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLEAZE BALL Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Although I don't feel the same about the word as Gunner I respect his rationale. I do agree that whether the word is used, abused or not used it wont change racism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ag. Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Children do know colour they arent blind( unless they are blind). They just learn the so called positive and negative assiciations that have been attached to them. I have a 5 year old. To Him For the most part, Green means go, red means stop or danger. His mum according to him is yellowish brown, and i am brown. He is also brown but not the same brown as me, although he will acknowledge that we are different hues but just say we are both brown. But me, his mum and his himself are all black. But not the same black as charcoal or my black coat. Pink means for girls. Yellow is his favourite colour, i dont know why maybe its the sun or the characters from Dispicable Me. I dont know what he associates white with, or the other colours. i echo what Venom has said. Piers Morgan hasnt made this with any real sentiment or caring for the word or anything related to it. He just jumping on the psuedo caring bandwagon to elevant his American Appeal, same way he bangs on about Gun control in the USA too. At least a man like Tim Wise acknowldges his privilege. I dont like the word, dont use it, was more militant be4 about not using it, now i dont tell or go on at my peoples for using it or calling me it, just a polite reminder to them that im not a nigger, never have been, so dont call me one, same way you arent a table or a worm or a cardboard box or a kanagaroo. Or any offensive term. And the normalisation of the word and the passiveness that is sometimes often spoken, and used as a rationale because the speaker didnt say it with any malice is something that i particulary dont like and a point hat i think many people miss. Nigger wasnt JUST said in a nasty malicious degoratory way. It was more often than not said in a normal way, matter of fact way. Same way you call a piece of paper a paper or identify or classify something as a particular thing, black and darker skinned people/Africans were classified and referred to in a matter of fact way as NIGGER or nigga (if in southern USA due to accent etc). This normalisation and classification i dont accept one cos i know what it means; Less than a human. Property. Something to be owned. In similar fashion, i dont call Children 'Kids'. Some people think im being pedantic/extra. So as matter of fact, i dont like or respond to being called nigger or call others such. Yes i do blank out that word when singing Rap songs, i just replace with ''Bredda'' Said passively/casually, to offend, by whites, blacks, so called ''Niggers'', whomever, i dont accept it. And saying it, or not saying it wont change racism. i know a lot of things which means that i know that i know only a little. reel tark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badman Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 It's the same with black on black killings and crime nothing is hyped, until a white person commits murder against a black person and its a fuking sh*t storm of "they killing us out here" dumbest post of 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badman Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Also I do agree that this article seems forced and there's no evidence to suggest he cares about the subject matter let alone racism Wouldn't mind him talking about it if its something he really cared about, he just made a logical observation without considering the complex implications of using the word and how it developed socially. Very careless and showing great lack of respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it simply crime...afterall how could it be racially motivated? So why label it with a colour? For the record the word nigger shouldn't be banned. Every one just needs to learn that they shouldn't say it Agreed but I'd be interested to see what would happen if a black cop killed a young black man I think the contrast between that situation and the other ones would be very different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badman Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Those examples were hardly a case of 'white person commits murder against a black person' both were very special circumstances and isolated compared to the majority of white against black murders Your comment was very generalised and hardly relevant to the subject matter what was the point that you were trying to make in relation to this thread?

TheKingOfRome Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 stop being offended by the word nigga when your own culture glorifies it, its ether all offensive or its not, you know when the word is being used in a malicious way and when it isn't, my reason for bringing up that was because it's similar in what you choose to be irriate about and love it when there's any indiction it was racially motivated, whites do it well in england any time there's an excuse to hate pakis it's tooken and driven into the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
