CABL Forum - Re: who is the real racist

I agree and what can we do? We can call them on it, show their ignorance and let thm know it will not be tolerated. Some guys here want to pretend that the acial slur I was called by goodsky is not degrading. Many guys post oh I have black friends bbut think its cool to call them Ni--a. I have just have friends and their race doesnt matter. They prove my point because they think that the word n--ga is the only racist put down. As I know there are many others like "kike" for jews, wetbacks for spanish slanty eyes for asians but they want to be able to use to word n--ga so flipantly. I guess they feel calling they feel like those races would be racist for calling them out.

I know that there is racism and the support for racism. I do not know whethere its ignorance or they just do not know that using he word is just plain racist. If they had any black friends they would know that black people now do not feel good using that word towards each other. I choose not to converse with them because they feel my opinion is inferior to theirs because of my color. Therefor the conversation will go no where so what the use if it has been ingrained.

Its good to know that all the guys here dont feel that way bit the one who do have exposed themselves and now are mad because they are being called on it. I look forward to posting and debating anyone who wants to keep it civil and not digress to call people racisl slurs. Dont listen to some of these guys. Some of them have called me {and possibly you) every name in the book and I replied back. but when goodsky called me a n--ga thats way over the line and I will not accept that. If I did not call them on it now then you will see them just throwing that word around and many more if we accept it. The cable biz has all races and I dont want them to feel comfortable using racisl slurs to me. Its me today it could be you tomorro. Thats my point and now they are mad because I do not accept being called racial slurs, these conversations do not rise to that level to me.
