[quote="MR. SPECIAL ED":ea784]Nigger, spic, kike, honkey, jab, etc. - these are all words that have not been around for Centuries, and have taken on a meaning all their own. They are still fresh and refer to events and hardships not even a century old. The word "nigger" and "spic" has NEVER been used in any other context than to offend and belittle the group who this is directed towards. Of course if INNOX or whatever can show me where this language is appropiate, I'll stand corrected.
And to correct you, we dont use the word "nigger" in reference to each other. Nigga was adopted to own the word but not use it in it's entirety thus taking away the power of the word. And that's ONE out of a whole slew of words that have ZERO positive connotation when used in any way.[/quote:ea784]
Well said Ed....even a dumb "skippy" can see the truth in that.
