Doesn't the "N" word have two g's, not one?

I think your right. My Latin textbook has:
Niger, Nigra, Nigrum.

I can't believe that word is allowed in the subject heading of a thread in this forum.

This is the most offensive word in the English language:

Quote from: Jehanne

This is the most offensive word in the English language:

One which is used by blacks ALL THE TIME. As no one takes the time to address me as a European-American or Irish-American, I shall not bother with the PC b.s. about African-Americans.

This is all PC b.s., IMO. I can say "I love you" in such a way that you know I really mean I detest you.

I am a bit surprised, but happy, a PC outfit like Igantius Press still prints Chesterton's works wherein he uses the term.

Quote from: Lybus

Definitions change all the time.

I recently learned that "liberal" actually means "free from physical labor" way back-when. There was the "liberal" man that could work with his head (e.g scholar, poet) and the ones who had no education in which to escape the slavery of manual labor. So, there was the "liberal" class and the "working" class. Today, it has a bunch of weird meanings, like "liberal democrat" or "liberetarian."

The "N" word is no different. It's been turned into an insult (idk if had any other meaning, but w/e). No one in their right minds would call themselves "gαy," to say that they were happy nowadays. I guess that's just how it works. Languages chance all the time.

They also change cross-culturaly. Speaking of 'gαy' the word fαɢɢօt has different meanings to it:
It could mean a bundle of sticks or a British word for meatball.

Black people uses the N word among themselves all the
time. I very seldom hear White people use that word.
It is mostly African American, or Black.
I would never spell that word out in this blog.

I would like to be known hence forth as a European American

The original intent of this topic was to describe some one with a dark mind-- someone who hates truth.

The intent was also as an excercise in the right of free speech and interpretation.

My orig post explaining this was deleted by Mod as can be seen above. Clare understood what I was getting at--- niggers come in all colors.

Actually, Roscoe, I deleted it as a favor to you.

Quote from: Roscoe

Actually Alex is correct-- after my second glass of wine last night I felt a little frisky.

I'm not against controversy on here (as you well know), but if something provocative is posted as a result of vino, then I'm a bit more open to correcting it.

Could explain Raoul's other posting activities......maybe he should mix in some pot w/Roscoe to level out....or skip both if they are problems...... :jumping2:

MO is that the Jansenist heretics in this forum could all benefit from a few hits of Mary Jane-- especially when listening to music.

Why is it insulting to speak about it?
If someone calls me persian it is not ansult.
If someone calls Vladimir a viet it is not an insult.
So, nigger must not be bad too. Slavery is a matter of past, sth that happened to other races too.
