read down to up as its straight from the shout box........
->~*SeaMaiden*~: actually I am well educated, and you need to take your personal feelings out of the issue and look at whats right
~*SeaMaiden*~: you would never understand it. you don't know how it feels and im not about to sit up here and continue to try to explain it to you. all i can say is-educate yourself and be more open and empathetic. you're 31 yrs old and you speak with ignorance
->~*SeaMaiden*~: NO word, is above race.......... and what IS ignorant is to think a word can be used by one race and not another, personally i dont like the word at all, I dont think blacks or whites should be saying it at all........ and it IS racist to say blacks can say it and whites cant, and it makes no difference what the meaning is because its the intent with which its said that counts, not the word itself
~*SeaMaiden*~: the "n" word? its really sad that in 2009, some white ppl don't realize how offensive that is and when it's said between black ppl to each other, they know where each other is comin from, and they try to turn it into somethin positive
->~*SeaMaiden*~: could it be just humor though? what makes a racial joke ignorant? particularly if its said in good humor in a joking way?
~*SeaMaiden*~: when ppl make jokes like that, it doesn't always mean that they truly are racist, just ignorant
->~*SeaMaiden*~: or say the same things a black person would say and being told they cant say it cuz its racist.... which actually is racism itself
->~*SeaMaiden*~: i do realize that, dont get me wrong, im talking in terms of balance........it used to be a lot of whites were racist, now a white person cant even make a racial joke without being called racist
~*SeaMaiden*~: even though I've experienced racism from the majority of white ppl, i wont say that white ppl are more racist than black ppl. yew have to realize that there are just racist ppl out there in every color
->~*SeaMaiden*~: its not ignorant if its based on life experience
->~*SeaMaiden*~: what im telling you is what i see and hear more lately
~*SeaMaiden*~: thats really ignorant to say. there are racist ppl in every race. yew cant say one race is more racist than the other
->~*SeaMaiden*~: what martin luther king did and what happened to him should always be remembered, dont get me wrong
->~*SeaMaiden*~: dorry I have the opinion that the pendulum swung a bit far in terms of racism, the only racism i see or hear comes from those of colors other than whites
~*SeaMaiden*~: it doesn't matter WHEN it happened, it matters that it DID happened and it made a huge difference
~*SeaMaiden*~: whaaaaaaat dude???
->~*SeaMaiden*~: well i dont think its good to sto0ck too much emotion into something that happened before you were born, but remembering what happened and what it means isnt bad
~*SeaMaiden*~: im not like, ballin my eyes out....i aint no sissy or nothin (~_~) but yea
~*SeaMaiden*~: the pic explains it all ^_^
->~*SeaMaiden*~: lol, so how come ur um..... emotional?
~*SeaMaiden*~: turkey bacon of course -_-
~*SeaMaiden*~: uhhhh...bacon?
->~*SeaMaiden*~: ya lol, whats shakin?
~*SeaMaiden*~: hewwo? lol
->~*SeaMaiden*~: hewwo
THIS is why racism was fought against so fiercely..... people like this who think their race is better than others.
All races are equal people.
no one person is better than anyone else, no word is to be used by one race and not by another, and NO amount of prior racism towards one race justifies reverse racism towards another. This is what MLK fought so hard for.... equal rights, opportunites and treatment.
Just because your race was mistreated in the past, doesnt mean it gets a pass to do the very same thing.
Im not without sympathy towards any race, hell, I've dated women who are native, spanish, and asian. (not all at once lol) On the same token, no one gets a pass either.
I will treat you all equally..... I would hope you do the same.
P.S. she turned her SB off to avoid the debate, thats the last I was able to talk to her.
