    Too bad their ancestors used up all their n-passes.
    But it really doesn't sound good coming from any other races, either. No offense.

    there are words that we r all not supposed to say in certain situations...
    yet the fascination does not exist... shall i list them?
    ? , ? , ? , guinea, polock, ? , ? , ? , etc...

    I use all these words on my friends.

    They are just words.

    say them to your boss or strangers and report your findings...

    That's different. Different situations.

    How can you use that as an argument?

    I did used on a stranger and it didn't go well for him but for a boss?

    I'm trying to get paid and I'm a different man at my job.

    You can't be yourself all the time, absolute certainty.

    that word been lost the power it once had when it comes to me. I greet the white lady at the 7-11 i frequent as ? . The first time i said it to her she was baffled but now she just smiles and sparks conversation with me.

    I have a dream of a utopia where the word ? is used as a greeting for individuals of all nation and creeds.

    oh so it is about respect... thanks for playing...

    No, a job setting is different.

    That's my career, my life, and etc

    WTF? Why would I go offend my patients and my co-workers for?

    You got some real childish thinking right there.

    this reminds me of that scene in bamboozled when the whites were uncomfortable to laugh and applaud at the show only until the blacks did it first.

    Last year, I cursed the ? out this white woman on the red line for calling her boyfriend a ? repeatedly. She was so ? loud, obnoxious, and coked out as all hell.

    Pathetic ? --it's a pity I was on a train.

    Any other time, I would have just whooped her ? ass and called it a night.

    So you respect the rule more than the person? Which is it, you don't want to offend(disrespect) the people or you don't want to offend(disrespect) the rules? Cuz you did say people to begin with.

    I guess. But for the most part I'm offensive.

    I can't be 100% offensive that is stupid.

    You know no sane adult who insult their clients on the job.

    I apologize for dragging this far. So, I guess stopitfive ethered me

    True, but those words aren't half as popular as ? . We glamorized it and profit from it by owning it. If other races did the same,forbidden words wouldn't exist. we would recognize that each race has a wild and sometimes embarrassing sub culture that is a part of them.and they would be named accordingly.

    I think its ? up that the only thing stopping you from disrespecting others is a loss you might suffer. Like if there was no rule at work about offending people in such a fashion, you'd offend them, because you're offensive.

    But it's about knowing your place and coming correct.

    If you respect a people's history, then saying words that have historically been emotionally and collectively offensive to them would be completely out of the question.

    Let me clarify. The bold text is me talking about the popularization of the word.don't take it so literal.

    As for collectively insulting a people's history? I guess it depends on what level you take offense at. Personally i'm offended to hear other races say ? on the level of possession.that's our ? . I have about as much respect for other race's history as they do mine.as a matter of fact they don't have to know anything about my history at all.the first time is a warning, the second time is a throat check.

    the general act of them opening their mouths & saying the word doesn't bother me. it's the sense of entitlement & fascination with everything black people do that i can't ? with.

    if you decided to be one of those white people who say ? because you wana be down, say the ? & keep it movin. but have enough ? to not switch it up when black people come around.
