Default Racism

Now I get accused of racism at least once a day, however I am not racist. I may say racially motivated comments that are in fact true but sound racist. However, there is a big difference between racially motivated fact and racism. Also, If I was racist, I wouldnt find guys of all races attractive, now would I? Also if a black person says '******' shouldnt I have the right to say that word? Also, the word ****** did not originally refer to an african american, however meanings change over time. We must all accept diversity, for example I do believe that if I were to say fa**** or cri**** then anyone would have the right to say that to me, just like black people who use the word '******' are giving me permission to use that word.

And that is? Unless you are talking about stereotypes, the 2 are the same.

Why are you trying to get rid of the label "racist?" Is it because you don't want to be labelled a racist? Well if that is the only reason you are saying this, then you are stupid.
I hate the mob mentality and the people that are led by "what they are supposed to believe", and not what they believe.
I don’t like a person that’s anti-racist just because they think it’s wrong to be racist or were brought up to believe in racial equality.
"OMGEE people are going to call me a racist if I say this or that... " Well, if that's the reason you think racial segregation is wrong then you are pathetic.

Your argument is flawed. There is no such thinkg as a "right" to say something. Its cause and effect. You say it the wrong time, to the wrong people in the wrong place, you're fucked. Cause and effect.

It's also like me calling myself a "stupid fucker." I wouldn't mind my friends say that to me either, but others...
You say it the wrong time, in the wrong situation to me… you will see effect.

The only part of your post, that actually makes sense.

Earlier variants (such as neger or negar) derive from the Spanish/Portuguese word negro, meaning "black",

In the United States, the word ****** was not always considered derogatory, but was instead used by many as merely denotative of black skin, as it was in other parts of the English-speaking world. In nineteenth-century literature, there are many uses of the word ****** with no intended negative connotation. Charles Dickens, and Joseph Conrad (who published The ****** of the 'Narcissus' in 1897) used the word without racist intent.

No. See above.Ue it as much as you wish to. Just make sure you don't end up with a big fat lip.

cri**** = cripple? Since when is "cripple" offensive enough to be censored?

All white people are racist according to blacks/liberals standards. It's a stupid smear word. Some people would consider me racist because I believe some stereotypes about nonwhites are true. Blacks are more likely to be criminals/uneducated, hispanic people are more likely to be lazy/illegal aliens, Asians are more likely to be good at math...

I can be cool with anyone I meet as long as they're chill regardless of skin color. So, whatever.

By the way, I don't think anyone should use the N-word. Even blacks.

You said all black people should be sent to the moon, so no murder occurs.

You also point out quite often how they are cause of major problems.

Please tell me how the fuck you don't find that racist?

I infracted you for that. Not for what you are claiming.

****** originally meant 'ignorant person', but was then translated to the way it is used today. But like many words, a word can mean two different things when used in certain context. Just watch what you say and when and around certain people.
