I was sitting in ?go baseelim waiting for the next game to start so I got into a discussion about racism in one of my chats. Since it will be a long time since the next elim game starts, I decided to view my opinions to the public.
In my opinion. Racial words are ONLY racist to the minds of those who suppress it's use. Therefor, those who suppress racial slur are in fact the TRUE racists.
Those who use racial slur know that they only say it for fun and jokingly. Even if it's use to attack someone verbally, it's use shouldn't differ from the use of "fuck" or "bitch". If I were to tell someone that they are a "bitch ass homosexual cracker" and that person only take offense to "cracker" and responds to it, wouldn't that be racial? Those who take offense to it are the ones creating the racism.
Blacks for example. They say the "N" word freely when ever they want, especially to their own race. But when you see a white guy saying it to that same guy IN THE SAME WAY, it's considered racist to that black guy. Why? Because that black guy is racist, not the white guy. He does not see a person infront of him talking, he sees a WHITE guy talking to him. Therefor he is profiling him racially. The white guy is simply trying to be a friend and trying to fit in but gets his ass kicked instead. This scenario will bring the white guy to using the same racial word but not around blacks anymore and instead of using it in a friendly manner, he will start using it to ATTACK them verbally.
Wouldn't it sound logical if racial slur was freely expressed and those who take offense to it get in trouble? Think about it. There will never be an end to use of racial slurs because people will always use it. But if these people open up their minds, we can all speak freely. And what's better than freedom of speech?
Here are two scenarious and YOU tell me which sounds better:
White_guy> What's up my ***!
Black_guy> What? F U! GTFO!
White_guy> What? I'm just saying what's up!
Black_guy> Shut up you cracker!
Black_Gang> Lets jump this white trash!
White_guy> NOOOO!
White_guy> What's up my ***!
Black_guy> What's up my lil crakka
White_guy> lol. i'm coo. you?
Black_guy> hah. just chillin.
White_guy> that's great.
Would it be better for people to be up tight about what they say and end with everybody mad? Or when it's all fun and great times where RACISM doesn't exist?
RACISM ONLY EXISTS ONLY BECAUSE WE CREATE IT!
Here's another scenario:
White_guy> yah i was walkin down the street when i saw the *** homie! I said wassup and it was all good.
Authority> Warned for being racist.
White_guy> How was I racist?
Authority> For saying a racial word.
White_guy> Who makes "***" a racist word? YOU DO! YOU'RE THE RACIST!
Authority> arrested/banned/fined
Think about it. JUST THINK ABOUT IT.
