raves +4 Jul 18, 2008 02:54PM GMTDid you see all about the Nword funeral? how they burried the Nword My sister didnt see that news? Im thinking it might even be a cable network issue! The news is not getting out! Its being silenced? How can they do this? The only way i see it is if they play that power card and makes them racist and reliable they are then sued for millions?
Tables are gonna turn more than this im sure! The best is still yet to come on this issue?
But we all are victims of that era! Not just the back! and we are all victims of our past! and however far we choose to dig it up! Them bones them bones them ancient bones!

Answered N word funeral jesse jackson Enough is Not Enough
Because he is a hypocrite and so is everyone who is like him.That is like me going around and calling my family dirty jews and then get pissed when someone who isnt jewish calling me a dirty jew.
Or it is like a woman going around and calling herself and other women whores and then they get pissed when a man calls them that. It doesnt make since and it never will.

raves +1 Jul 19, 2008 02:48AM GMTLOL. I think those images are funny. However, I would like to know why it is soooo important for whites to have the freedom to call blacks the N word? I don't understand why it bothers non blacks sooo much. I have never felt left out when I heard my co-workers calling each other "Dago", "Wasp", or "Pigshit Irish". I knew they had a mutual understanding and a connection that I didn't have with those terms. What would I look like going around protesting that it's not fair for them to call each other those things, I couldn't relate to them in that way, and had no desire to, no matter how much I like them. The women who are close to one another on my job, white and black, are often referring to each other as Bitch/Bitches...but no man should feel deprived of his rights if he can't refer to them that way, you can't possibly think he would have that same bond with the women.

The "black" community doesn't use the word as it was intended to be used. It's sad that a word can have sooo much power. We fight amongst ourselves about the use of the word. My grandmother would have been ashamed of our ownership of the word, while my mom and dad, saw a way to take the sting out of it, either way that only proves the case that it has caused pain throughout the history of america.
We have to face some truths, we all seem to be paying for dead mens mistakes wether we want to or not. Blacks have paid for the mistakes of the masters by being labeled with stereotypes, and the dehumanization and criminalization, that didn't disapear with emancipation.
No white american today had anything to do with standing up to the British, establishing this country, they didn't fight in the revolutionary war to win independance, or civil war to free the slaves, they didn't create that great constitution that they believe is envied by the world, "We" make a big deal out of being patriotic as if all the accomplishments of those dead men of the past are ours, holding nastalgic re-enactments of the civil war, puting on large independance day parades, closing businesses to honor those dead presidents,
and at the same time don't want to claim responsibility of the mistakes commited by those same dead men. -
raves +1 Jul 21, 2008 03:22AM GMTI guess your definition of "patriotic" is different than most of America. We are proud of our country and the people who have fought and died so that we can have the freedoms we enjoy today.
In your list you seem to forget the blacks in Africa who sold their own people into slavery. How come no one ever mentions them?
I have American Indian blood and they have been treated worse than the blacks have in this country so should I whine about that forever too? Slavery ended quite a while ago so anyone who wanted to leave this terrible country has been free to leave it whenever they wanted to.
If you think you would be treated better somewhere else why don't you move there? -

your rhetoric is clearly misinformed.
"I guess your definition of "patriotic" is different than most of America."
My definition of patriotic is someone who is inspired by the love for their country. I had the opportunity before 9/11 to insist my sons persue anything but the military, but I guess I, like my brother, my uncles, my cousins, and nephews, and a couple of neices's were inspired by the love for their country as they all serves honorably...I sit spellboung in front of my computer and other media sources trying to stay connected to my babies serving in Iraq today. Three wonderful U.S. Marines.
To think that because one has an issue with the country they love means they are not patriotic is foolish. Parents love their children and when they are good parents they discipline them because of their love for them. Families may have relatives that may be harmful to themselves or others, instead of turning a blind eye, or supporting the wrong the best of them take action to change it.
You want to throw the word patriotic out there to avert from the realities of unjustifiable acts.

How could I forget that when it seems to be the only recourse justifiers of the wrong have to turn to. The justifiers want the conversation to go away with placing the blame on the victims, historically africans, spaniards, europeans, romans, and greeks along with other societies participated in slavery. What the justifiers omit from their explanation is the fact that african slavery was nothing like american slavery, africans took slaves a) to repay debts releasing them when they were paid, b) punishment for crimes, c) prisoners of war...under all circumstances they were never accused of being animals or less than human, they were never stripped from their mothers, fathers, siblings, or offspring for a lifetime, they were never denied their religion, never denied their way of life.
american slavery denied all that and so much more...along with the brutality of torture for nonconformity,...raping of the women...mutilization of the men...I could go on but I'm sure you gave up reading up to this point already.
"I have American Indian blood and they have been treated worse than the blacks have in this country so should I whine about that forever too?"
Seeking justice for a wrong done by someone is not a crime just because others didn't seek it. I have native blood also, not enough to claim native in most eyes but non the less my maternal ancestors wouldn't be the same without it. With that said, blacks who fight for right are not concerned with being called whiners, you speak as if they had something to do with the near genocide of the american indians. I too have native blood, may not be much but my maternal ancestory is traced to chickasaw.
"Slavery ended quite a while ago so anyone who wanted to leave this terrible country has been free to leave it whenever they wanted to."
Like I said, we have to fix what we love, not leave it.
BTW, my family suffered long after slavery "ended", a prime example would be shown through the book "Slavery by another Name" Douglas Blackmon, tells other americans what black americans know and have dealt with to some degree or another.

I do not know what to think! Jackson record of using the 'race card' precedes him as much as others like Sharpton. This time Jesse has used the "N" word, along with some other "cutting" remarks!
NOW, we see the first white guy to survive using the "N" word, as I watched a brand new episode of "DOG" just last night. He is up & doing fine!

If that would have been anyone white that said that... OMG! They would be stoned outside city limits. I believe 110% that the Rev Jesse Jackson and his good friend Rev Al Sharpton are two of the main racist people we have in the states today. They stir the pot whenever they can... and when they can't they have someone else do it. I don't see how any Rev. of any color can back someone who believes in abortion. So, if you look at the way their religious views are told to be, they should be voting for McCain!
Answered All of the above
J.Jackson is disgusted with Obama; I feel disgusted too but will never use those words. Difference between Jackson and me - I will not vote Obama
