Everybody – everybody has different words that offend them, different things that they hear that they get offended by – I’m – to me, the thing that offends me the most, is every time that I hear the “N” word. Not “nigger” by the way. I mean the “N” word, literally whenever a white lady on CNN with nice hair says: “The ‘N’ word.” That’s just white people getting away with saying nigger, that’s all that is. They found a way to say nigger. “N word.” It’s bullshit cause when you say the “N word” you put the word nigger in the listeners head. That’s what saying a word is. You say the N word and I go oh she means nigger. Your’re making me say it in my head. Why don’t you f&ckin say it instead and take responsibility, with the shitty words you wanna say. Just say it, don’t hide behind the first letter like a faggot just say it…

Wait, did he just spend a paragraph screaming about hate speech and end it with faggot???
^ He waasn’t …he was ranting on people who say it but won’t say it.
The “faggot” part was tied into the rest of his gig on it.
I just really liked how he says these people who say “the N word” make US say it in our heads when they won’t say it at all…….
I’m kinda shitty on people ( I’ve done it too ) who have to say “Jesus H Christ on a pogo stick” in the same vein too. When it means the same thing.
That’s why I say “crikey” now for almost everything :)
Crikey means crikey.
“You’re making me say it in my head”
That is awesome.
^ I know. One of my favorite lines evar now.
“You’re making me say it in my head”
Well, that’s better than “You’re making me say it in my asshole”.
Though with some people, the two are permanently connected …..
I hate it when people say the n word in their a$$hole.
Is your wife a nagger?
I thought “the N-Word” was “neophrastic”.
You’re making Morgan Freeman cry, mah nigger . . .
Now they’re just messin’ with us over it. Samuel L Jackson tone is …forceful, even hostile with this guy in an interview about that movie Django Unchained — yanno, the one with Teh Word.
aak — posted before I read Digi’s much more complete coverage of the issue.

After the vice-presidential debate, where Joe kept calling Paul Ryan, “My friend . . .”, I thought it would have been awesomely epic if Ryan had just turned after Joe said that and replied, “Yes, mah niggah?”
Didn’t that all start with not being able to call people their ethnic nick names or tell jokes about them? Like not being able to say Finnlander or Polock or Wap, or Frog or Hill Billies or all those nasty nasty words that we would say in our heads and not out loud. I think I’ll just say , “O word”, when I get mad. Call a Rose by any other name it smells the same.
Hmmm…The word “N-word” is the new “N-word,” surely the mind doth boggle (and don’t call me Shirley).
Soooo, I spose “Eithiopian Bushbeater” can only be sed in your hed now?
(…howda fukin hell can I hunt for water buffalo in Eithiopia if I cain`t use that word? Water buffs there taste soooooo much better than any other place, ya kno, like, once I hunted tha whole state of Utah and never seen even one water buffalo AND worse, there ain`t no Morman bushbeaters there, neither…..
Colonel Jerry, SIR!: There is a serious dearth of Mormon Bushbeaters in Utah. You’ll get no argument from me there. The problem is: What do we do about the problem? I mean, everybody talks about needing more Mormon Bushbeaters, but who ever actually does anything about it? That’s what I’m sayin’.
I’m thinking, put out a national call for Mormon Bushbeaters. If that doesn’t work, well, we might have to re-think this whole thing.
The phone lines aren’t exactly lighting-up with more Mormon Bushbeaters calling-in right now. Perhaps they’re still in church. Oh wait, it’s Monday.
Nevermind.
I am ashamed to admit it but having been raised on a South Pacific island by a mainly homosexual tribe of Polynesians, for me. the N-word stands for Nancy-boy
I am ashamed to admit it but having been raised on a South Pacific island by a mainly homosexual tribe of Polynesians, for me.
I was just beginning to think that I was the onliest one around here who was raised on a South Pacific island by a mainly homosexual tribe of Polynesians.
Suddenly, I’m normal again.
