Thread: Racism

Yes, it's a bugger. I was with me mucker from Cameroon today. I just made a casual observation that "that cloud over there is as black as fook", and immediately blushed.

That's because the goal posts keep moving.

First nigger was bad, call them negroes.
Then negroes were bad, call them blacks.
Then blacks were bad, call them Africans, or African Americans.
Now, I believe the correct term is black (been rehabilitated), or, African American.

I'll call them what ever they like as long as they stick to it.

Becuase it puts us too close to people who are happy to call a black person a "******" .

Cue Blackgang and his ilk.

But how the fuck do you know where one is from. Are we supposed to ask the subject in person before we refer to their origin?

All you can do is be yourself and if people don't like the way you handle the cross cultural thing so be it.

I find that when I watch my P's and Q's around people of different skin pigmentation I normally but my foot in it.

Just call a spade a spade!

Oh fvck did I just type that?

I always referred to my fellow worker as a black man. Same for my best friend back in the states. Most people referred to them as african americans. But the black ladies that worked with us referred to most other blacks as "that fu--en nigger" or that "black as-sob". Seems that the black ladies in the states really talk bad about their own, but, don't you try it or you might get cut. I worked in Gainesville, Florida then. Mostly with black people. Over here I don't worry too much about it.

I worked with for and around Blacks, I was in school with Blacks, two of my best have been blacks, one when I had never seen a nigger before and he went to school with me and came to my house, which was across the street from the school and fucked off there til his mom, who was a welder in the shipyards, came by my house on her way home from work and he would go with on home.
And my other black friend is a merchant seaman and lives in Tacoma and we shipped together out of SIU Hall in Seattle, Last I heard of him he was mate on the tug Warrior for Foss out of Seattle.
It is confusing for you folks that are piss weak and afraid to say what you think, I personally got no use for a split tongued MOFO, so to keep it sorted you can call em niggers or negros and fuck the ones that don't like it.
They are the most racist bastards anyway, take a look at the Rev Jessy or the Rev Sharpton, so you will never be in the right so fuck em. do not worry about it..

yup.

one or two racists mean all Black people are the most racist.

I always considered 'coloured' as the nicest term until I was told that I should use 'black'.

In my little town race wasn't really an issue and still doesn't mean much to me; we were all English. Went to the same schools, had the same jobs and shagged the same chicks.

Same with me, when at home we had nothing but whites and some American Indians at times, we were close to a couple of reservations so we saw em but none lived in out little valley, then when I was about 7 I actually talked to the first Negro I has ever been around in Stockton Calif. where I went to 2nd grade.

Then I went back to my grandmas house and when about 12 I worked for my second cousin and her husband on a ranch about 70 miles from town and on this ranch there was an old black man that had been there for years I guess, and then a few years after the end of the war a Chinese cook went to work in one of the bars and he was a fine cook and did a great business and then after years he got his wife and son out of China and he took them and went somewhere else.
Other than that there has always been whites in my home town and no one ever even thinks or talks about color or race, cept we hardass square heads and polocks.

^ That's coz we're smarter...

F that jigaboo! Mofers have figured out that this gives them language power over whitie. Jews do the same thing with the antisemitic rubbish. Maipenrai, except for jews I live in an all white town. Blackie town is 5 Km away, an easy drive to get some decent food

dont think I ever said that.

bout sums it up.

I got most of my racist slurs from playing cards with a slant-eye, a nigga, a white trash, and a wigwam welfare bum (funny, his name was Ray Kerry). I was the ho. Man, those boys sure taught me how to cuss and name call. Not like I use any of them words now, of course.

Point well made. Except, It is not all American Negros, just vociferous minority.
Problem with generalizations, we then have to add so many fuckin qualifications. Really gets hard, this describing things and people with any accuracy.

There are African-Americans, Polish-Americans, Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, whole heaps of hyphenated Americans, though, I've never heard of an English-American.

we won't claim 'em
