donker slytel the ppl say by us

I realize now how hunter must feel going through life, I don't get this reference.

Substitute D for P and think of somebody famous in a red overall.

Does. Makes no sense.

Maybe I'm slow today.

 

[HunterNW]

I assume you all joking about the D word? in which case I wont humour it

I'm joking, but don't know the word you're refering to ?

Edit: To be honest I have heard coloured people use this term before. I have even heard black people refer to themselves as that.

 

[rietrot]

Did you forget already? It's on the previous page

"I hear it all the time at braai talks, all white people are racist"

You took that to literally.

 

[surface]

Now I'm wondering what the D word is?

Disabled?

glad to see everyone finds it amusing, as expected

I'm honest - I don't get it ?

 

[theratman]

Since when do South Africans refer to non-believers as k*****

We use "heathen" in SA, don't we?

They don't, they just won't admit that someone is actually being racist.

I'll admit, i've used it. Usualy when driving.

At least you're man enough to admit it. Do you think it's right to do it though? What do think the consequence will be if one day Shannon drives with you and record you saying something like that?

If an older white person uses it like once off I wouldn't have an issue with it, it was a word in general use in the old days and you can't expect people to change overnight, especially if they're really drunk or pissed off. But when it's said repeatedly or by a younger person I find it offensive.

'The ''d'' word will be as offensive as the ''n'' word is now'

Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore is considering a plan to normalise the term 'Access Inclusion Seekers' when referring to disabled people.

I don't think it's right. Habit. Obviously don't repeat it..... unless the "offender" keeps pis$ing me off.

I'm honest - I don't get it ?

I also have no idea, unless it's darkey as doubletrouble said, which is not really offensive at all. Just like whitey isn't offensive.

 

[ForceFate]

Not everyone. Try and keep up. I already said you can use the k word just as a general group name without being racist, without racist intent.

Group name for what?

Many words you can call the offender, all without risking your livelyhood. All those d words you mentioned earlier comes to mind.

With you on this. I have reprimanded many friends and family doing this when driving. One guy a while back realised I would get upset if he used it instead drove up until the car and then said "ja ek het so gedink". so maybe rietrot has a point of people choosing to use it behind our backs

Yes, but he is a fckng retard, half the time I have no fckng idea what he is talking about.

 

[nazmo]

It is this. and it is offensive. maybe the way it is said and used in Cape Town, the connotation shifts

Since 1652 ?

There was no South Africa in 1652.
