Wasn’t there a recent comedian who said that white women sleep with Latinos as a way to working up to black guys (or maybe switch the Latino/black part)?

“According to the national White Privilege Conference, there really isn’t anything white people can do right regarding racism.”

If White people are “born” racist - and that seems to be the message coming more and more from the “White Privilege” crowd then why are we not a protected group like homosexuals who are “born that way”?

There is a similar South Park skit which can be found on YouTube.

Biggest pitfall of working with white people is that you have to get up, show up and work until the workday is over.

White people—some few of them anyway—are crazy that way.

Cussers piss me off. (Didn’t I read that on your FReep page?)

No, because cussers delight me.

“Naggers” My FRiend, you have coined a term

I wish I could claim I coined the term.

According to the national White Privilege Conference, there really isn't anything white people can do right regarding racism.

Might I suggest getting a concealed carry permit?

They are creating a self fulfilling prophecy. The more this kind of puke is expounded by black leaders the more white people will shun blacks.

Then they'll be able to say, "See!? See!? We told y'all them crackuhs is racist and they is crazy dangerous!"

It would be nice if we could find a real solution for the dumb.

Ninety Six percent (that’s 96%) of black voters in the USA are brainless RACISTs. That is a proven fact.

Damn and ass? I would understand your point if I let an f-bomb fly or slipped the s-word into conversation, but damn and ass are about as commonplace in modern colloquial discourse as a, an, and the.

I have a Master’s degree in English, FRiend. I can assure you that my use of the language is more proper than most people who don’t use linguistic “gray words.” If you missed the purpose and/or point of my post, then the words you reference are apparently more taxing on your ability to read than the crux of the point for discussion.

It’s a good thing your lack of respect for clean language is rarely seen here, you can tell us your education, but you stand at the bottom of the heap, when you talk like the people do at DU.

I find you to be overly sensitive to words that are part of everyday vernacular, even for the likes of conservatives. Your complaint would have standing had I used words that one would find over at DU (i.e. “the f-word”), but since I used words that are considered commonplace in even polite conversation, I’ll simply bid you good day and pray that you thicken your skin a bit to conversational dialectic.

Your degraded language is not common place here, I don’t know why you are so insistent that it become so.

DU is unreadable because of it.

You continue to invoke DU as a reference. Are you a frequenter? I’ve personally never been there, and I’ve been a FReeper for over 10 years. Feel free to peruse my extensive post collection and deride me for my language therein at your leisure. Your intentions seems to be to cast me off as a vagabond when I can assure you, sir or madam, I am not.

Stop focusing on 2 words and comment on the meat of my post. Do you make it a point to castigate all FReepers for their perceived misuse of English, or are you on a vendetta against me personally?

I pointed out your language, I sure didn’t realize that you are so obsessed with it that you would keep coming at me.

I hope you don’t succeed in what now looks like a sort of goal, to make that language common here.

Seriously, Ansel. Do you have anything substantive to add to my initial post, or are you going to insist that because I used two common English words, the point of my post is invalid?

Your puritanical inanity is not going to change the initial post, so I suggest you get over yourself and move on. You’ve proven that you’re a one-trick pony and have nothing to add to my initial post except that my language is apparently on par with the feckless, drooling children over at DU.

Get over yourself, sir/madam.
