Liberals lick their chops about perpetuating hate to the next generation.
My eyes hurt from rolling too much.

It is how left wing politicians survive. Hate. Divisiveness.

If you think politicians of all stripes don't tug at base hatreds for their own gain then you're so cutesy and naive.

Next you'll tell me you trust politicians and jet fuel melts steel beams.

Ok I've got to step in here. Jet fuel doesn't need to "melt" steel in order to cause structural failure.

The hotter a steel beam becomes, the weaker it becomes. The heat required to cause a steel member to fail below it's designed limit is far below the heat required to melt it.

You said I determine what's racist and what's not. So I tell you, go out in the field and test your theory. Insult people using racially loaded words or decide to break with civility and see where it gets you.

I'll buy the wheelchair.

This is what happens when anti-intellectualism takes firm root, the very context and definitions of words become pliable and subject to individual interpretation.

I take issue with this assertion, however I'm way too into the "it's almost the weekend" mindset to articulate the response I desire.

So, if I call a white person the "n" word, does that make me racist?

Because the "n" word is a racial term, regardless on how you say it and to who.

1. It makes no sense outside of its context used as a racial epithet.
2. Lots of whites have come to call themselves the naggers as the word has diffused to being a term of endearment (or essentially 'dude') in *certain* circles. Maybe one day it'll detach from being racially loaded. And the South will rise again.

3. Why even use the term unless you're just trying to be a cheeky tard? Like baiting people?
And now we come to the crux of Spath's (and surprisingly enough, the liberal/democrat's) argument.

It's not racism unless he says so.

Kindof like how people here change the definition of words that suit's their political needs.

Please, call a black person a monkey, throw bananas at a black family or randomly work the word monkey into discussion with a black person and tell 'em Sparthosx sent ya.

Use the liberal conspiracy to shield yourself from the pummeling.

Did it ever occur to you that just because someone interprets it as racist doesn't mean it is so?

Make sure you supplement your racial epithets with a footnote that you don't mean them as racist then.

Yes, the international sign for insulting black folk, calling someone a monkey is perhaps not racist. So why exactly do European soccer fans love it so much? Why not a penguin, a raven, an orca?

I contracted ebola from this thread.

I'm hoping to infect everyone in here then die vomiting up my internal organs. It's what this thread deserves.

If it feels racist it must be I guess. That's the liberal way.

If I feel like a black man I can be.
If I feel like a white woman I can be.

Ive never reported anyone for anything. I'm too busy getting banned from the official FFXI/XIV forums because people cant take some light critique.

A person that misperceives a statement to be racist, is often (but not always) a racist.

Intent of the speaker determines if the speaker is racist, not the listener.

How can that be a real question you have?

If racism is validated by how many people feel it to be, then it doesn't really matter if racism really exists or not. It will forever be a problem as long as someone can make someone else feel it to be.

Racism is a belief. If you believe me to be racist am I actually racist? (Of course not)

So much gymnastics. I'm sorry sweetheart that you didn't mean it, but the whole world knows that monkey used as derogatory term to a black person has the inference of racist remark specifically. Keep up with the universe.

So if someone uses a racially loaded term towards you, you're the racist for taking it on. They could have meant you were a really nice person but because you took it the wrong way, racist!
