None of these guys use the N word, they're just heated that Paula Deen took an L over the use of the word. They want to believe so badly that black people set her up when we had nothing to do with her firing.

They could boycott Target or the Food Network, but they don't wanna do that. Maybe that's too hard. So they want to lash out at black folks over an incident that has nothing to do with them. Same old scapegoating.

White people in their minds shouldn't EVER have to face consequences over something that could be interpreted as offensive to blacks....even if blacks didn't engineer those consequences one bit.

That's just how it is. Too easy to see though.
i would agree that the majority of racialist white posters on this forum arnt hardcore like they pretend, but are trolling because they have nothing else to do.

ive mentioned in the past that the easiest way to get 100 replies and 1000 views is to race bait.

some whites need that attention, and race baiting gives them that attention they dont get in the real world, which satisifies them.

And while lynching black people was a tool frequently used, I'd challenge you to prove more blacks than anyone else were lynched when for over a century "lynching" was the preferred vigilante punishment. Hell, thousands were lynched for rustling, rape, murder as well as being used for intimidation or sending messages to rivals...

And lynching does not solely include hanging. It also includes burning at the stake and shooting...

And it isn't exclusive to the US...
AnonymouseX, you bring up an interesting point of view. I’ll start by addressing your statement regarding “offense”. My original meaning addressed the quantity of individuals offended not the emotional levels or reactions by said individuals. So you obviously missed that point entirely when drafting your response. You also mention, “There is an ethnic group that was oppressed far worse than blacks.” But for some reason you didn’t elaborate. That reason is absolutely clear because the “nameless group” you’re referring to doesn’t exist. Other groups throughout history have been oppressed etc. but nothing comes even remotely close to the Maafa. FACTS do not lie… And there are many history books that will reinforce my assertion. All you need to do is pick one up.

I’m going to have to take your challenge with a grain of salt as well. Because you’re not only challenging me but also recorded history in proving blacks [in America] were lynched more than others. The concept you’re struggling with is actually common knowledge amongst most [including grade school kids]. There are many books on lynching’s but I’ve included an interesting piece of work that you can start with if your willing to tear down the logical fallacies you’re basing your opinions on.

I happen to agree with your three other statements “And lynching does not solely include hanging.”, “It also includes burning at the stake and shooting...” and “And it isn't exclusive to the US”. I’m not here to argue against common sense like some others… I’m only hear to smack down the falsehoods and stereotypes regurgitated by NEO-CONS…

They don't care about the use of the N word. I mean, when have white people ever given a damn about what black folks say? It's laughable.

From where they sit overall as a race, they should be ignoring anything blacks do and say. What power do we exert over white people? If i was white, i'd feel safe in the knowledge that i could generally ignore just about everyone else. I most certainly wouldn't get my hackles up over a silly ass word like N*gga.

And i should be clear that i'm not talking about all white people, just the ones that can't stop looking for something to complain about.

We already know that you don't go out of your way to use the word (around black folks anyway). And you'd do good to continue that practice.
Why would i go out of my way to insult nice people?

The fact remains that there are "nigg***" and there are black people.

Allen Iverson is a "nigg**", Jimmy Rollins is a black man.

As long as there is a set list of words and all the hate words against whites are on it as well.
What sort of world do you live in that you have ever heard of someone "legally" murdering another over use of a slur?...
