hasa diga victor hugo: indigenous-rising: so using offensive language is more important than...
so using offensive language is more important than groups of people’s feelings to you. Okay. It isn’t your place to deem what is and is not offensive. You are not entitled to justify and declare what is good enough to qualify as a harmful term. Instead of fighting for…
typical. you are the entitled person who gets to define intelligence, racial slurs, and harmful language. what a hard job you have. i asked you the same question over and over because you refused to answer it and it is the important question to be asked. why is using a word that hurts people more important to you than the people offended by it?
(via myrtlewilson)
it derives from a racial slur which means it is still harmful. Why is using that word more important to you than the people who are offended by it?
spooky was first brought into use in 1850. the slur spo*k wasn’t put into use into the 1940’s. in order for a word to derive from a slur, the slur would have had to come first. i literally cannot make this any clearer and you do not know what you’re talking about.
I am not sure if that is true I will have to look it up. Anyways you still haven’t answered my question. People are offended by the word so why does using that word more important to you than their feelings?

hasa diga victor hugo: there are people out there that are claiming that “spooky” is a slur...
there are people out there that are claiming that “spooky” is a slur because back in the 50’s the word spo*k was used as a slur against black people. if we’re going to use that approach to things, then i guess we can no longer use the words pike, beanie (like the hat), brownies, oreo, crow, spade,…
you care more about using a word than the feelings of who the word may hurt? why? what does using that word do for you?
you say that me telling you that using racial slurs is never okay is pushing my beliefs on you yet you find it okay for you to use racial slurs that affect an entire group of people? that doesn't make much sense. what you do is harming people. what i am doing doesn't hurt you.
the-holocauster-deactivated2014:
that affect an entire group of people?
Oh my God, it’s like you have no brain cells. It doesn’t affect an entire group of people. It affects one, and whoever else chooses to be offended. Not every black person says “omg :’( She said nigger. I’m so sad” not every Hispanic says “She said spic :( That means me, and not the individual she was referring too:(“
It doesn’t have to hurt every single person from that group to make it harmful. Racial and ethnic slurs are dehumanizing. When a group or race is viewed as subhuman violence and oppression towards that group is inevitable.

indigenous rising: Reverse racism doesn't exist
It doesn’t exist because there is nothing “reverse” about it. Racism is the dislike of a certain race. White is a race. If you are black and you hate white people, this is not reverse racism… This is racism. Racism isn’t specifically towards people of color. Racism includes…
Racism is the intolerance of a race.
That isn’t even my point. My point it the term “reverse racism” is racist itself. There is nothing reverse about racism. It black people can be racist towards brown people, white people can be racist towards brown people, etc, etc. No matter what it is, it’s still racism.I agree that reverse racism is not a thing; however, I maintain my statement. Racism = prejudice + power, and because White people are the oppressive power that means they do not experience racism. Prejudice is having a bias, a predetermined opinion, about someone just because of their race.
AGAIN, this is not the point I am trying to make.
There are colored people who hold more power than many white people. I hope you know that. You’ve obviously never been in a place where colored people outnumber white people, which is in quiet a few places. (I’m not saying that just because poc are higher in population than white means that there is racism.) Overall, yes, white people may have more power, but it is not the same in all cases everywhere. Saying that someone cannot experience something based on YOUR definition of it is ignorant.Can you please not use the term “colored people”; it is offensive. That term derives from a time period that used that term as an insult. Having some people of color hold positions of power does not change the fact that White people are the oppressive power; nor does has it changed the fact that institutionalized racism and systematic racism are still set in place.
OH MY GOD. Literally. I have friends that constantly refer to themselves as people of color, and I’ve never had one give me a single shit for using it. 99% of the people that get offended by that term aren’t even PoC. Like what am I supposed to say? Am I supposed to name out all the different races by their politically correct term every time I want to mention a race that isn’t white? Like I’m not going to go through that much effort for a discussion on some stupid tumblr post. Like I don’t even care about your opinion, and it won’t change mine. Anyone can experience racism no matter who the fuck they are I don’t give a shit it’s inexcusable either way now take yoself on somewhere else I’m out.
there is a difference between the terms “people of color” and “colored people”; you used the latter term, which is offensive. And I wonder about people who don’t mind using offensive terms because they don’t want to make an effort to learn correct terminology. It makes me wonder why you value other people so little. Makes me wonder why are you so selfish.
You are still mistaking prejudice for racism. Hopefully you will take at least one sociology class in the future so you can learn the real definitions of the words you are ignorantly misusing.

oh so it’s okay for black people to call other black people nigger
oh okay.
lol. life.
people from an oppressed group can reclaim slurs used against them. If you are not Black you have no write to use the N-word.
The best randomness around!!: my view on the words 'nigger' 'cracker' 'spic' 'fag'
they’re words.
they only have meaning when you put meaning to it.
so gtf over yourselves. lol. everyone.
You compared the word cracker to actual racial slurs…
Black person > Nigger
Hispanic person > Spic
Caucasian…You ain’t doing no one any favors. You are just upholding White Supremacy and dehumanizing groups of people.
How do you figure? I dont have a single problem with black/brown/white/yellow/people or anyone at all UNTIL they start acting like their race’s stereotype. I hate crackers the same as I hate niggers, the same as I hate spics, the same as I hate chinks, and so on. And I hate to tell ya, but the only people keeping racism alive are the NIGGERS, SPICS, CRACKERS, CHINKS, ETC. NOT the people who REFUSE to let themselves become those stereotypes. It all lies on the shoulders of the people who think that its cool/ok to be lowlife, non contributing, pieces of shit.
The people who are keeping racism alive are the people using these slurs and believing that someone who fits into a stereotype is a lesser being. The people keeping racism alive is the oppressive group (White people) and the people who give them support in their oppressive behavior.
Do you realize how stupid you sound? “People keeping racism alive are the ones using these slurs (white people).” So you’re racist to white people? Blame the white man for all your problems in life? Next you’ll be telling me the white man owes you something for some shit that happened to your ancestors a few hundred years ago. Im so over this. Hahahaha here I thought this blog was about meaningful intelligent debates and discussion…not some racist blaming racism on other racist by using a racist mentality. Lolz goodbye Hoonchuck.
Recognizing an oppressive group is not racism. White people do not experience racism; and it is certainly not racist to say that White people are the oppressive group.
People of Color are still being oppressed today.
How can you justify using racial slurs and homophobic slurs? Slurs are dehumanizing. When a race or group is viewed as subhuman violence and oppression towards those groups is inevitable.
my view on the words ‘nigger’ 'cracker’ 'spic’ 'fag’
they’re words.
they only have meaning when you put meaning to it.
so gtf over yourselves. lol. everyone.
Why do white people always feel so entitled to speak on how we should take racial slurs when historically, THEY were using them against US..? White folks don’t deal with racial oppression so they damn well shouldn’t be trying to tell US how to deal..

I fucking hate people now
Bitch we hate you too.
You’re still running around here as if you know a damn thing about the word Nigger itself.
You’re a privileged white girl who thinks she’s being a rebel/grungy/totally hip chick by refusing to care about black people that clearly told you not to say that word.
Stop acting like you know anything. You’re just attention grabby now pls quit it.
