Chappelle shatters comedy club endurance record

Saw it the first time. Chalk it up to I don't give a fuck.

 

Chuck, if the offensive the word holds is in its meaning, then how can its meaning change when a different person says it.

I honestly don't understand how that's not a contradiction.

 

But can a black person be a racist towards black people?

 

obviously.

 

Yes. I know a sweet little old Filipino woman who honestly believes whites are superior to Asians. That is a perfect example of someone who is racist against their own race.
Plus, isn't is Chris Rock who has the bit about black people being the most racist because they are racist against themselves -- lighter-skinned blacks look down on the darker-skinned ones (think the Rick James "Darkness!" bits on Chappelle).

 

The dark thing, light thing(in my opinion) is more of an inside joke.
But you're missing the point though. When black people use it, it's used under a different defintion. I think one guy here said it the best. You can call your dog a bitch, but I'm sure you'd get a different reaction you called your wife a bitch.

I just don't think it's as easy as you guys make it. There's a lot of history behind that word and what black people are doing is taking the power away from it.

 

It's wrong in all uses. Period. White on Black, Black on Black, Green on Black.
And if you're too stubborn or stupid to realize that, then everything that has happened in the last week will keep on happening. And I pity you, not that you want it.

 

No need to start calling people names big boy.
I've made my case and you haven't responded directly to my signifying post. You keep saying "It's wrong in all uses. Period."

 

And it is. Your "signifying" post is a cop out.
And I'm done with you on this.

 

buh...buh....buh...

 

I know all about taking the power from it, or at least the concept. However, it obviously hasn't worked. Anymore, it's black people that keep the word alive. Don't you think we would be better off if it was never said?

 

I've been called the n word by white people many times during my time in HS.
