2013 Official NBA Off-season Movement & Rumors (Merged threads)

I dunno. I just typed it as "******" because I don't use that word.

 

Yep.

Ok to say

Cracker
Whitey
Honky

Not ok to say

******

 

Dude naggers are way too derogatory man

 

I don't see why we can't say ****.

 

What is that? Cock?

 

No, that's OK (apparently). I'm guessing it's a female body part (****). Double standard? I wonder if the system censors 'squaw'? It's the same thing and really just as bad.

So why is it that the most offense terms for white people are allowed, but not for black people?

can I say

chink
wetback
spic
camel jockey
dune coon
injun
kraut
rag or towel head
slant eye


just not ****** I guess?

 

Lmao yeah that can do it

 

Did people report that the Lakers have signed Chris Kaman? Cuz that's just AWESOME. They're just GOADING Mike D'Antoni to quit.

 

This has crossed my mind.

By the very fact that it can never be said, gives it more "power".

Fuck, on the news , in the paper, almost any print, with the "special exception" of those in Hollywood..its "THE N WORD"

They put that motherfucker on a pedstal.

If some brother wants to do a recording, and sling it..well...its ok.

Some (fill in the blank ) says it in a joke twenty years ago? fire that bitch, cut ties and run for cover..

What a chicken shit, over protctive society this hs become. It is not the black man doing this, it is all the do gooders who have emasculated you.

 

Ok this made me giggle a little

 

I assume you've never heard of Lenny Bruce.

 

The guy who played Kramer pretty much ruined his career when he responded to some heckling by some black guys during a stand up routine, and went with it and took the kind of risks comedians take to be edgy. It's probably the only word in the english language that will pretty much destroy your life, regardless of the context. If you are white. I mean, a news reporter can't even say: "The local school Board passed a resolution prohibiting employees from using the word ******." They would have to substitute the actual word with "The 'N' word". I find it to be pretty bizarre, really.

 

Paula Deen - is that you?

 

LOL. Not that I could tell her from a rhutabaga before her 'incident', but as I understand it, she was accused of using "the term" with her staff in derogatory manner. More than once. Being as she's from the old south, old habits die hard, I guess. Her judgement was swift and final. I don't fault her employers/advertisers for looking out for their best interest. But in reporting all of this, I don't think I saw a single instance where the folks doing the reporting used the actual word she is accused of using. Did they? I'd be surprised if they did. And a little relieved that the oppression is lifting, even if just a little.

 

Hated Sheed, but this is seriously funny

I asked Andre Drummond who is the biggest trash talker in the NBA. He thought for a second and said, "My new coach... Rasheed Wallace."

For the record, she also wanted a wedding at a plantation catered entirely by black men, wearing white suits and black bow-ties.
