Re: When did Bibles play out?
I understand that...
I'm Ghanaian...
Is this advise? Or is this post inspired by something I said? If it's just advise I all ready know this....
Yeah I agree with what you said.......
OK here is where we differ, when I hear Nigger I think of the people it was associated with. The first thing that pops up is the words direct origin like it does with you. I think of the people it was associated with it and suffered and died with this word. Ya feel me?
I don't disagree with anything you said

I've heard the word "niggard" before and i don't think it has any relationship to the word "nigger". If anything, "nigger" is a derivitive of the spanish word "negro", meaning black. "Nigger" is, of course, slang. The word, in and of itself, is just a word. It is because of the history behind its use which makes it such a controversy. Lets try not to dwell too much on these things, though. I don't say it because I understand that people can get offended. But others do say it. And in this day with it being used as a term of endearment it gets confusing. Now, for some reason, a mexican guy can say it with the intent of endearment, and everything's cool. But, if he was white, its all over! And, yeah, before you ask, I am white. I understand the history of "white" people oppressing "black" people. But that still has nothing to do with me. Ok, I guess thats all I have to say.....................
let me get on this again. any racial remark is bad!!!! whether it be nigger, chink, flip, whitey, wetback, any stupid word meant to put ppl down. any way u put it, it hurts ppls feelings. and we all have to share this earth together. we all need to work together so our children wont be talking about this subject. and wont know what those words mean.
people always put blame off and say "it has nothing to do with me" when talking about the past, but as a white person in america you continue to benefit from a racially stratified and biased justice system based on hundreds of years of opression and crooked history. so really, it does have something to do with you. it has something to do with all of us. no one is free if others are opressed.

I have every right to put the blame off. I have nothing to do with “white” people's faulty actions in the past. If you find fault with it because I am white and that history states that "my people" opressed "your people", then you have fallen foolish to the reason we had such abominations in the first place! There isn't "my people" and "your people", never was! As long as we continue to divide ourselves from each other, in mind, we will continue to suffer the consequences. If you believe that I should feel guilty, then so should you. Because you have as much of a connection to a white slave owner as I do. You can attempt to put such foolish accusations unto me because of the color of my skin, but then you would be being racist. And of course, that’s what you’re against. So let’s try not to contradict ourselves. Now, if you are proposing that we, as people, join together to try and help others from the faults and ignorance of racial suggestion, then I’m all for that. A white man today shouldn’t have to feel guilty because of what white people in the past did. Historically, just about every different group of people had been enslaved in some country or another. Sometimes by those of different color and sometimes by those of the same. Lets all feel bad that humans have done such ignorant things in the past. When we keep seeing it as a black or white thing, we keep the spirit of racism alive. Lets transcend this bullshit, once and for all.
