You flipped the script, that's cute. I stand by what I said, no more no less. By the same token, some blacks do act like clowns, not going to deny that in the least.

Oh, but the word isn't clown. It's n***** and there's nothing cute about it or *****. It's hypocrisy unless you're really taking the position of being a respectful, classy black vs the alternative. I wouldn't buy that for a second.

This just proves the point you think using the b word is ok, wasn't it you that said "where did I say its ok". Its obvious you condone it.

And maybe it is just where I live but I do see it. The other day I saw these guys call a random women in the street in work attire (skirt, blouse) nothing revealing and yet these guys said "Wow that ***** is hot!". The word is tossed around constant today, it doesn't matter how you act.

Another example, michelle obama and ashley judd. From what I see, very classy women. Carry themselve with respect, yet I remember a group of colleagues who just didn't like the obamas and said "obamas wife that ***** annoys me". Ashley judd, you have heard her controversy on rap music, she spoke about it, guys that didn't agree said "That b**** doesn't know what she's talking about"

Like I said, how you act is irrelevant, its just to degrade period

Besides the obvious definition of a female dog, a b*tch to me is a female who is malicious, not just in selective actions but in her personality.

-Of course there's nothing cute about n*****, which is why it's ridiculous that some blacks replace it with *****, as if it's going to take away the negative history behind it.

I don't condone the use of the B word, but let's be real: If a woman acts like a B, she will get called one. In your example, those guys are lames. You're definitely right that the B word is tossed around like a salad. Sad to say, a woman can respectfully disagree and will be called a B***h. That's crazy to me, but that's the world we live in I'm not saying it's right, but it is what it is.

I feel the same about women that use the word b****. It's also ridiculous that you would choose not to use one bigoted term, but freely yap another. Folk that use either word clearly position themselves on one side of the bar when it comes to class and couth.

Apparently it's someone who has some taste. From about 6:15 to 6:50:

There are some more Brat Packers for you, temptation.
