It is. It's better to avoid a bitch-fit over something so ridiculous.
--- Quote ---I would say that while it's ok to joke with your close friends about your and thier race alike in ways that puts everyone at ease with each other by shrinking the elephant in the room into a humerous and non-threatening miniature, the exact opposite is true for getting together with people of only your own race in order to make fun of those from another.
The former brings us closer together by taking ourselves less seriously and equalizing us through neutralizing the minute genetic differences that cause such problems while the latter only widens the divide between us through separation and strengthens an inability to communicate like humans when faced with people from another race.

You yourself are making gross generalizations. Just because two white kids joke about the stereotype of black people eating alot of chicken they're immediately going to be racist and unable to communicate with said race. Why can't it also be just for just humour?
--- Quote ---Words like 'cracker' are also offensive and racist if used in a offensive and racist way. But do we have that problem here? according to you if anyone used that word here that person would probably be white themselves, so who cares right!?

someone missed the point here. I'm obviously talking about when black people are racist, no one jumps and says "NO, SHUT THE FUCK UP THAT'S RACIST AND WRONG!" In fact, the opposite happens. No body says a word and everyone moves on. But the moment a white guy says something racist there's nothing short of a bitch-fit normally.
--- Quote ---It works the same way with the word in question when black people use it amongst themselves. The only diffence is that there is no history of black Africans enslaving white Europeans, certainly not on the industrial scale the reverse happened on, so I wouldn't compalin.

No african american or white european of the slavery years is alive today.
No one has a right to use that sorry-ass excuse that their ancestors were brutalized by another race, as the current generations were never the ones that had to endure it. So yeah, we're never gonna get past that until we put the big boy pants on and forget about it.
--- Quote ---I don't care how many times you have moved, you have not met every black person in 'your country' and saying that every single one of them does anything besides grow skin different from yours is a gross generalization and in itself pretty racist imo.
--- End quote ---
I don't believe I said anything like that?
All I said was that virtually every single african american I have met uses the word Nigger, yet expects the white man to never use that word in any context because he's racists and he's the guy who enslaved your great great grandma or what-not.
I am just really..... really tired of the obsessive oversensitivity to race and political correctness in this country, (along with everywhere on the internet just about as well.) and the bull-shit that goes on just because of past actions on a race who's current generations on both sides have nothing to do with what went on.

And two, they use the word themselves all the time.
Don't give me some bullshit about not all of them do. Because they all have at least once, and I know for a fact the majority use it on occassion, having moved across my country to many places and all use this word regularly.
yet practically everywhere nobody gets pissed and defends the white man for being called a cracker, etc.
So yeah.

But that's his own problem whether something he does on his forum is legal or not.
