FYI I changed the title of this article. It no longer is a word at all. It should be politically correct now, right?

--Gene Nash-- So what you are saying is that it is OK to use the word nigger, even on publicly broadcasted radio. Dego is not nearly as offensive as the word nigger. I would bet that there are more people black and white that would be offended hearing the word nigger on the radio than the word dego. The origin of the word is in essence where it derives its meaning. On the other hand the word dego is not in the dic
--Gene Nash-- As an adult I can decipher the difference between the two but adults are not the only ones doing this. I hear it at my nephews elementary school on the playground. Now this is a problem, you see. Kids, white kids, come home saying that word and they should get their mouth washed out with soap, but black kids, their parents think it's OK.
--Little_Whip-- ...and anyone else who may be intrested I've enclosed a link to a web site that gives the origin of the word nigger. The word if used in propper is offensive. My point here was not to offend, but to seek clarity, and express my thoghts of the subject. Link
--Manopeace-- I know my U.S. history and enjoy reading up on it, especially southern history. I don't think slavery should have ever happened, but it did. The black persons heitage includes the word nigger and although today it is used as slang as in mada_ecks post, in the past it was used to describe a black skinned person. I will never full understand what the black slave suffered, but I have compassion. I'm not trying to take a
-- mada_ecks -- You are absolutely right, in the social company that I keep I would never just outright use the word nigger. I am educated and compassionate. Looking back, it does seem to be the the kinds of people you describe tossing the word around. Thanks for your insight.
I guess what I'm getting at with the prayer thing, is that when I went to public school we said the "Our Father" prayer lead by students over the loud speaker each morning after we stood and said the pledge of allegiene. We also said the "God is Great" prayer before we lined up to wash our hands for lunch. This has been removed from the public school. Have you been to an elementary public school lately? They don't encourage much prayer.</f
I have never used the word so to speak but it just pisses me off to no end when I hear black people saying it. Just for the fact that I know that if I walked up to anyone one of them and said hey nigger how ya doing, i'd be running for my life.
I agree, this is like when they took prayer out of school. They could have done the same thing by excusing the child from the prayer. The separation of Church and State was not intended to be interpreted the way it has been by all of these ideologically based atheist.
I get the racial undertones, but what gives them the right to expect the white people to not use it if they continue to use it?
I don’t understand why black people get so upset when white people use the word “nigger” especially when I hear black people throwing the word around amongst themselves. Nigger, nigger, nigger. There, I said it! No pun intended, I just had to get it out of my system. <!-- Ju-Anchor-Footer-
I think Ray was counting on finding bodies that had already been burried. You know down here in the South you have to bury people above the ground. This would count for all the bodies he was planning on finding.
Why don't you just strap you Jewish loving ass into that bomb with your little loverboy and find a cozy spot somewhere where the two of you can have one last explosion, and blow each other up. Oy!
At least Bush had the balls to stand up and take responsibility. The state and local officials are responsible for following the specific guidelines for evacuation which was prepared by the state of Louisiana specifically for New Orleans. This plan was not adhered to which lead to the demise of the system. FEMA and DHS as well as Federal help is second to state and local. Link
Hmm! I guess if I got to choose how I die, it would have to be painless and quick. I'm a whimp. I couldn't do it to myself either. I love life too much.
I cried for help for New Orleans when Katrina came I screamed in fear and in agony My tears were more than the rivers could hold The waters rushed through the floodgates, taking its toll Katrina left as quickly as she blew in, taking the rain with her No matter, my tears for those lost, only added to the depth Help me, Oh God, I prayed, as the
N.O. has been the Muder capital of the U.S. for sometime now. The city has its own laws, and to know them is to live there. The corruption is unbelieveable all the way from the low life thugs on the street to the politicians, this includes Ray Naquin. The link shows murder rates per capita across the nation. Link
I really do love all the work and help that you put into my projects. One day it will be all worth it. I promise to share my degree with you. When we open our own business we can call it Sonnier and Sonnier. Just one small thing, you still have to be on the construction end of things. Love ya, My
I toatlly agree!
The Mayor of New Orleans is Black and according to the Louisiana State of Emergency Plan, he is the one responsible for calling the evacuations. With just a few clicks on the key board, I found a 2000 census for Orleans Parish and the State of Louisiana.
I say that these people are in low economics because of the choices they make. The government gives people money to keep having babies. More babies mean more money. The government also gives money to people of low economics for education. Therefore, on one side of the fence you have those that want the government to support them because they ar
Awesome!
To EmperorofIceCream I just went and re-read that chapter. I get logical extension. What does that have to do with the different ways God punished the harolt's sister. How can you call people ILL-Educated Christians when you can't even quote the Bible in context.
Thanks for you prayers, I understand about finances. I'm in the same boat.
What is happening is that there are some people who think they can take over they city of New Orleans. They think that keeping the rescuers from coming in, that they have control over the city. I know this sounds crazy, but these people are crazy. What you are about to read is something that was heard over a police scanner. Whether it actua
