Just don't call me the N word. I mean, you're free to do so. I can't stop you. Just advising you that it's a bad idea. A really, really, bad idea.
One day, when you're like 85, I hope you find and read through this thread and are able to laugh about it, thinking to yourself how much you've evolved intellectually.

I also hope that, in time, this Earth comes within near inches of being destroyed by an asteroid or nuclear holocaust, so we ALL can look back and laugh at how utterly stupid these racial pissing matches are.

I won't make 85. I'm sure of it.

And this isn't a racial pissing match. I'm not mad at all. This is the internet, i don't take it serious. In real life, you and i wouldn't even have this conversation. I would've cut it off at any notion that you could tell this black man what i can and can't say. Especially where the N word is concerned. You wouldn't even be in the conversation.

So you know..

I don't know what any of that is, but I'm willing to try anything once.

I find the 'trash" part accurate but don't want to be restricted to whites. Trash comes in all sorts of races and colors and economics.

Im glad you apparently have not heard of the N-word = black trash.

I am pretty sure the term white trash originated from other white people. It is more of a class insult than a racial insult.
