Stop the bitching about the mods

According to my very white friend who just attended a jay-z/kanye west show in NC a couple of month ago, not a single African-American person within an earshot of him opposed his usage of the aforementioned colloquialism when used in a singalong context.

This is my only experience with this word other than my African-American friend in college who taught me to correctly use the expression "n***a dang!"

The way I see it, the word was created to dehumanize slaves and justify their subjagation. Today, it has been coopted by black culture to be the equivalent of "person" just like I would use "dude" or "man" which is cool.

That said, I'm far too white to use it myself, and if I did, even in an ironic context, it would be the most awkward sounding thing ever. Maybe it would be good if society removed racial connotations, but I'm not going to be the first honky to throw it around lightly.

Note: I'm talking in general, not on a forum or anything. I personally am done with that whole thing.

I'll bet y'all good money that I'm not the only one on here who agrees with DK, I'm just stupid enough to do it verbally. As it were.

TBH, I stopped reading the serious posts, but from the little bits I read, I think I dig what he was saying. Basically it's one of those instances where some people are caught up on one thing and others are talking in more general terms. Everybody is more or less right, just making different claims that aren't directly opposed to one another.

no, if someone doesn't like being called something, dont call them that.

do unto others as you would have them do unto you ^^

Alright I read page 8 of this jank and I have a few things to say.

We are individual, particular people. We have unique personalities, views, opinions, music, fuzz pedals, etc. To call a transgender individual an "it" or to us the N-word towards a black person is to take away their identity. It is to take them and put them into a group that you can refer to and generalize. Or even worse, in some cases, it is to take away their humanity. Let me fucking emphasize that, THEIR HUMANITY. That leads to dangerous ideas and thoughts that separate them and their hurt from our own hurt. We don't want that on this forum. When a woman cries, it's no different than when a man cries; when a straight person screams of pain it's the same as a homosexual screaming. When saying fag, n.igger, it, etc. you need to consider who you are talking to and who is hearing it. It's being a decent person. Yes, everyone has a right to say what they want. But having a right to freedom of speech doesn't mean jack shit to someone when you're stepping on their feelings, humanity, or ethnicity. It's not about rights, it's about being a decent person and respecting others. If you don't believe me go into a bar in a small county in Michigan where you don't know anyone, blatantly call them "rednecks," and see if you get out in one piece.

Just the same, we're not going to ban dubkitty just because he has a different opinion. That would be disrespecting him and his right to speak his opinion, no matter how similar or different it is to someone else's. However, we will stand by our policy, this isn't America, this is I Love Fuzz.

Now lets talk about how single coils are way cooler than humbuckers even though we know humbuckers are the shit or something super I Love Fuzz-like.

[D.o.S.]

Can we bitch about how the mods only read 8 pages of a 12 page topic before they post?
