K-word costs Aussie

Exactly larry, seems like white people think they have some sort of right to racial slurs just because they do not get offended by it.

No, white people (the vast majority it seems judging by this thread) think that racial slurs are fine and there is a general over reaction to them. I think you're entitled to call me a white b4stard if I've been one. I'm white, I'm a b4stard so it's factually correct, it doesn't make you racist. By the same token if I called you a black b4stard then you will have deserved it, I'm not being racist, I'm venting frustration at you. It wouldn't make sense if you were black and I called you an orange b4stard would it?
 
Dude your so off the point right it's not even funny.

Whites are not used to being racially abused are they? Blacks are racially abused on a daily basis by the whites who think that it is their right to be nasty and use racially offensive words.

Yea but mila in sport what not you cannot do this sort of thing because people are watching, young kids are watching.

Believe me i live with racial slurs almost every week with friends and family and it's flippin disgusting.

Retro please point me to a link where a black sportsman has racially abused a white player? I'm pretty sure google is packed full of racial slurs towards black people and you would be hard pressed to find it the other way around. Your argument that racial slurs are fine is a stupid one. You want to call someone a K***** do it in the privacy of your home or amounst your friends not during a sporting event.

As far as i know whites in this country have never been oppressed and told they cannot go into this area or that area, nor have they been racially abused like the black people so maybe you should try and understand why black people get offended.

Dude, that's what I'm saying I agree with you to a point, in the privacy of your home is fine. See my other posts where I said it was out of order for a sportsman to do it in public.

I never claimed that there was an incident of a black guy racially slurring a white guy it was a hypothetical. To point out the silliness of it all.

Whites in SA never been oppressed up to a point is true...However after a certain point in time they have been, but that's my opinion and I'm not going to discuss it here.

There's a brain drain for a reason mate...
 
Yes whites being racially abused in sport never actually happens it is hypothetical but blacks being racial abused in sport is a massive problem which for the most part the posters here think it is not a problem and resort to using hypothetical situations to defend it.

Dude I live in a multi culti society in the U.K. and I've not yet witnessed white on black racism, only the other way round. Historically in S.A. yes I agree, it's bad, but not living there I can't make a comment about it. However there's always over reaction to it, you're black, I'm white, get over it different cultures etc.

Like Man City fans and Man UTD fans same sort of thing...
 
Yes your black i'm white live with it is exactly the right attitude but a lot of whites in this country have the attitude of i'm white your a K***** deal with it.

That is the problem.

One could argue becuase its used at home, that it will eventually come out in public in a moment of frustration, like was probably the case with this young dude, whose surname sounds South African to me. Which would explain how he came to know of the term in the first place.

So best not use it under any circumstances. ;)

Ive noticed over time on this forum, it is the same people over and over that try to defend this.
 
O here we go again - a black gets called a racist name and it makes news headlines, but the blacks attack, rob, steal and murder on a daily basis and you don't see not even half of this in the news that is how common it has become. Unreal really. :rolleyes:
 
So are blacks the only one who rob and steal?

The sad thing is most of our criminal master minds in this country are white.

What's new, another day, myBB members justifying racial slurs (because "white people are not insulted by these things")...

Oh I remember well. It was the M-Word which does not offend people but justifies the use of the K-Word which offends people. By the way, both words were considered offensive. :cool:
 
Race is not a choice

I can insult you because you are stupid, I can insult you because you are new [****ing noobs!], I can insult you if you are poor. I can call you a carrot top, and insult your parents. I can imply you're sleeping with your mother [mother ****er]. I can call you emo.

There are millions of ways I can insult you, your family, your history... but heaven forbid I refer to the colour of your skin?"

Eltherza - Apart from the family history/carrot top, all of those insults are based on choices the insulted person has made.

You choose to rape / be a jerk / sleep with your mother.

Being pre-judged or treated differently based only on skin colour is what is at issue, not the choices you have made.

That is why a racial insult is different from other insults.
 
Exactly but the whites cannot seem to fathom calling someone a mother f***** is different to calling someone a K*****.

the origin of the m-word was not racial, but the natives at the time thought that white people were somehow capable of black magic because they could make a loud noise while pointing a "stick" at you and you would drop dead. when the natives realised that white people wheren't all bad they changed the m-word to mean "good" derived from the zulu word, "lunga/lungile". at least that's how i heard. the m-word had no racial connotation in its origin.

I stand by my statements’ I'm proud to be white and nothing anybody calls me will change that.
And yes by saying that i'm saying i'm glad not to be black.
And i'm sticking to saying that if you were proud to be black you would start doing what gays do.

Advertise that you are the K word proudly!! My word people the world are celebrating all the things blacks had to overcome.
Just to make a point if i were black i would start wearing T-Shirts saying i'm Proudly K.


So yes i'm not insulted by being called a W Bastard. I would rather be that than a B Bastard.

Your post is indicative of an attitude that has absolutly no perspective on the damage that this particular word has on people. And for the record, a person is Black, and that is what I for example am proud to be as you state, however to say I'm proudly a K-word is absurd, to say the least.

The K-word is a DEROGATORY term used in reference to Black people, why on earth would I be PROUD to be that?

Well what would you think considering 90% of the population is black grim :).

the thing you miss is that most black criminals work for a white king pin at the end of the day. So yes most criminals are black because most of the population is black. Does not mean that there are not white criminals, we are the minority in this country so obviously there are far more black criminals than white criminals.

It also does not give whites reason to racially abuse good black people who just go about their business everyday.
