Ridiculous

Repeating a word that is ebonics does not make someone a racist. Using a racial slur or insult does or say beating someone up simply for being a certain race.

But saying ,yo thats my homegirl does not make me a racist. Sorry.


You are the very 1st person that I've ever spoke to that thinks using ebonics makes someone a racist.
Mocking ebonics is racism. You know that as well as I do.

No its not. I think its rather strange that you think it is. You are the only person I've ever seen think that. YOu have the absolute lowest standard I've ever seen for what makes someone a racist.

I'm in a biracial family so it doesn't bother me much. I just wanted to share that though. I think we can all throw the "there are no racist Tea Partiers" argument out the window..

Yes I know there are a few Black Tea Partiers, and Yes I know there are Black Racists too. I just wanted to post this. Cause so many people are blind to the people they hang out with.

Grow up. Stop trying to find excuses for your failures and instead devote your energy to learning from failure such that you can prosper.

Losers are comfortable with failure, as long as they can be assuaged with blame. Do not take the easy path of accusations of "racism" (the opportunities for minorities are limitless in America), take responsibility for your actions, and you will do well. Fall into the trap of being comfortable with failure and the self assured notion that it is the result of "racism" and you will always fail.

"Racism"- the refuge of losers.

Giving a definition to ghetto- speak AKA "Ebonics" is racism to begin with.

Agreed!

Some people cannot accept the fact that the REAL racist are among your group.

The perfect example is the loser bum thug black panther who was in our streets yelling to kill white people. This is what a REAL RACIST looks like.

He needs to be arrested, deported. We do not want this kind of racist trash in America to bring us down.
Anyone who thinks and acts like he does needs to sent right along with his sorry lifelong welfare butt.

I have yet to see one single tea party person who has acted like this black panther idiot. He is the liberals poster child for what a real racist looks like and acts like.

Thank you for that very much. This poster is not being sincere at all and I'm glad it was pointed out. The other poster basically said they knew what it meant and intended to say it all they wanted.

It wasn't a "defintion" from some dopey online dictionary like many here on CD use to define words such as "racism", it was a link to an article, which is obvious by clicking on it.
