And because four black men stood in your way, you walked out, gave the money to someone else and then you come on here to crow about it? To excuse yourself for calling them niggers?
And please spare me the garbage about white people can be niggers too.
That doesn't fly with me.

i never said i called them niggars. and yes; the donation went to someone else because access to the office was refused to me.

i don't care what "flys" with you. this is an opinion board and i voiced my opinion. i'm not asking you to like it. if you took the time to know me; you'd know that i'm taking the extreem side to make a point. i've never called anyone a niggar out loud in public and the best girlfriend i had years ago was black. she broke it off because her family wouldn't accept a white BF.
now; do you want to talk about discrimination?

i'm playing devils advocate here and those that know me know what i'm doing. i've never called anyone niggar out loud in anger. i love everyone that shows they deserve it.

Alright...listen...I looked over some of your proposed threads..I am nosey...asked NKOTB...and this thread's direction seems to be taking a turn not like you.
Why?
To ruffle feathers?
Answer me....in my above post...so you walked out because of these 4 guys?

i agree 100% with you. here's what bothered me. this happened at job corps in phoenix. they helped a friends son and i needed a tax deduction so i had a meeting there where i was going to donate $250K plus 5% of my profits to them. i did turn around and walked out the door; and the donation went to alice coopers program for kids.

edit: i'm still fighting for my life and i'm here because the people of my community donated blood. medicare allows me 3 pints of blood per year. if they remove my bladder and i can get a kidney; i think i can be around for a while longer if i fight.
i'm sorry about your friend. my mum had breast cancer twice so i know what she went through. my thoughts are with her.

...
Well... why didn't you donate the $250,000 plus 5% of your profits? Because yu didn't like the people who worked there? I find that rather silly and quite petty on your part... i mean to basically say, "Screw you recipiants of the donations... i don't like the people who distribute my money". Charity is charity and there are no strings attached... leastwise, in my book. I do it without reservation because i feel it is important... i do not give to a charity in order to shelter me from taxes... I give because i care and really don't care for the write off.
I guess that is where you and i differ... well, that and a myriad of other issues.
...
Anyway... back to my point... you seem to get disturbed about really insignificant bullshit. I don't give a fuck about Dogg The Asshole. my big issues are these... this bullshit War... the fact that people (even those with health insurance) have to fight things like cancer and insurance companies and face their family's financial ruin in the wealthiest nation in the world.. and environemntal issues that will affect the little 3 year old's future.
If I were someone in your situation, i would care less about stupid tabloid shit and focus on the things that really matter.
But, that's just me.

i was walking down a hallway when 4 blacks; walking abreast; stopped for me to move out of their way. the problem was that this was after hours and all the doors down the hallway were locked. so i either had to walk back outside so these 4 people could pass; or bloody levitate to let them by. they deserved it. in fact; they deserved a lot more. they were looking for a fight and should have gotten one.

as for dogg; he can buy and sell anyone on this board so he'll be ok. as for the criminals he risks his life to get off the streets; f*&^ it; let them continue to kill others because his work isn't appreciated.

You say they desreved it??? Deserved what??? What we are left to assume is that you used a racial slur.

Wow, lowest moral reasoning ever. I sincerely hope you don't go to church because that would be yet another nail in the coffin of American religion.

i didn't know america had a religion. does it have a name?

no; i don't go to church. man has destroyed the basics of religion because of greed. i'm spiritual.

dog the bounty hunter has served the public for years. now; in a taped PRIVATE conversation; he used the word niggar and his show gets cancelled.

so now our private conversations are subject to public approval. so what other rights have we given up? are we going to start arresting people for what they say? if so; most blacks would be arrested for using the same word.

so i guess it comes down to a double standard. blacks use the word "cracker" with frequency oh but that's ok. what is this world coming to?

You can be fired from your job for NO REASON AT ALL. Why is it so difficult for people to grasp that?

Oh he's not bothering me. Nor are most of the people on this thread that are busy pointing fingers and making assumptions.
I'm just tired of all the "it's ok if I do it but not ok if you do it" games.
Actually I'm pretty much tired of the pit full stop.

I know where you're coming from.

That sentence was obviously referring to plural faiths but seeing as how you're obviously one of the most childish people who post on this board I can understand you might have trouble reading.

I do the same thing... it's quite easy to pass people... a smile and a simple, 'Excuse me' usually does the trick. Not that big of a deal.
...
Then again.. i ain't carrying 250,000.00 in my pockets. The most they'll get away with is about $15.37... a half a pack of Marlboros and a Bic lighter... maybe 2 sticks of gum... some pocket lint... keys to a 1972 VW Beetle with a bent front bumper and windows that don't roll down that may or may not start... oh, and pager that will let them know that one of our Oracle Databases is running low on server resources.

that's cause you're skyhooks tart.

btw i was quoting the very beautiful brian molko.


now back to the nigger comment. you know any word used in such a derogatory fashion is unacceptable. tis like another word that stirs up divisive emotions(especially from the ladies), if you aim it AT someone thats not cool. if you apply it to someone with malice aforethought, thats not cool either.

Also.. you know what? It is a 'double standard' of sorts... but, seriously... who gives a shit?
I play on a softball team and the black guys on the team call people 'nigger' all the time. but, just because they do... doesn't mean i should. Just as they don't call dudes 'dude' or 'bud' just because i do. It's all fucking stupid and seriously... not such a big deal.
The thing i find offensive? Idiot white dudes that talk like black dudes... shut the fuck up, Federliners... you're white.

Nah, it's because Skyhooks have the perfect song for this occassion. Again!

I know you were quoting the pretty. I'm playing it now!

Words are just words. And they do get aimed at people, both in derogatory and non derogatory ways. Fact is like skin color, facial features and clothing I can know NOTHING about a person by the words he uses OR HOW he uses them. I can only make assumptions. And assumptions make and ASS out of U and I. Just because I object strongly to some of the things that someone says DOESN'T make it ok to attack them. It's a stupid idea and it completely fucks up the process, SO as far as I can see, YET AGAIN, people that I expect better of have managed to get themselves into a slanging match with REALLY poor communication skills. It's no biggy, happens all the time when people interact, but it is MOST WORTHY of Skyhooks!

Yup... that's it exactly. you got these fucking guys out there that think this may offend someone else.
It's like on my softball team... Bill (our power hitting Left Fielder) can say, "Nigger in left is gonna get burned for playing that short"... and i will say, "That fool out there in left is gonna get burned for playing that short". I never feel the need nor want to use the word nigger... ain't my style... i got my own style... I am me.

that bit is grasped. the bit that isn't is that THEY GAVE A REASON. and that reason was because of ONE COMMON WORD he used in a private conversation. if you were sitting over dinner and said your boss was an arse; and your child said something and you got fired over it; you'd understand the point.

just as people can see my scar from brain surgery and make derrogatory comments. they didn't get fired though. the state retired me so employees don't have to look at it.

I agree. It's like I could say what I really think about some of what I perceive as hypocritical comments on this thread but that would just end up with me being banned and still I doubt people would gain any self awareness.

And it's all a waste of time and energy anyway. Because it's all about perception. The world might be able to make it un pc to say certain words and fire people for things they say in private BUT none of that is going to change their perception is it? You can only do that with understanding each others point of view.
