We need to treasure and protect our black conservatives. They are a minority within a minority. They boldly go against the democratic plantation mentality and also refuse to be a rubber stamp for conservative wannabees. Let’s give it up to Ben Carson, Justice Thomas, Daneen Borelli, Armstrong Williams, etc. etc. They hold the key to redeeming both their minority group and America at large.
They don’t really believe in Dr. King’s dream — they never did. What they believe in is hating whitey.
In the Tampa Bay area we have a powerful and entertaining young Black Radio host. His name is Kevin Jackson. When it comes to Liberals...he takes no prisoners. I Love this guy!
I prefer to call things as they are.
Stacey Dash is a beautiful babe, inside and out.
Those that vilify her, are meat.
Also, used as slang for a cigarette in GB.
Check it out by googling.
"Faggot and Peas" looks like something I wouldn't eat but it has its aficionados.
Of course, "fag" and "faggots" are different in US. So, if you meet an English cigarette smoker, fill him/her in on terminology acceptable and terminology that might result in a beat down.
"Nigra" was acceptable - "good" negro or a negro who was your buddy even if you were white was a 'nigra'.
If you were 'useless' - not a workable farm worker you were the other "N" word.
Whites I knew differentiated between "nigra" and "n word".
The "n word" was used despairingly by whites AND blacks. I don't know what is acceptable terminology now as I left the farm many years ago.
Shouldn’t there be a “Stacy Dash” “Rule”?
*snicker*
I, too, grew up on my aunt’s farm, and her neighbors were a very pleasant extended black family. My Uncle Tom, yes that’s his real name, used to say, “They are some of the finest negroes I’ve ever met,” and he would often tell James, the eldest black man in the family, “You, sir, are a fine negro, and I am proud to know you.” It was never seen or taken as an affront or offense.
On the other hand, the inbred hillbillies up the road from the farm couldn’t differentiate a cow from a sow and often referred to the very successful black family farm disparagingly, and we understood to never use the “n word” for any reason. Negro, however, was acceptable, and it was only until I was older and actually learned Latin and studied anthropology that I understood where it came from as a racial classification.
I don't need to check it out. I don't think I have ever met anyone so ill-informed about the world that they wouldn't know that.
But it's pretty clear that here in America, and especially on FR, "faggot" is a deliberately derogatory word used to insult an effeminate or homosexual person.
In the UK, it would be "poofter." You can Goggle it.
I don't know much else.
The black tenant worker family on a white's farm was also classified as a "nigra" or "n word" depending on the perception of their behaviour.
A hard working tenant farmer was a good "nigra" - a layabout black tenant farmer was useless to the farm and were called "n words" for their lack of a strong work ethic; the strong work ethic black was a "nigra" and was considered as family and friends, from my experience on the farm.
My white grandfather farmer loved chitlins (Chitterlings!). My grandmother never cooked them because of the smell.
One Christmas, one of the "nigras" made chitlins for my grandfather because she knew he loved them. She braided them and put red and green peppers through out to celebrate Christmas!
My grandfather counted that as one of the best Christmas gifts ever!
I miss the farm living - how about you, rarestia? Good times for me!
Will do. I've always kind of guessed what "poofter" meant but it wouldn't hurt for me to understand its origins.
Thanks!
I loved it. We didn’t have much, but what we did have we either farmed for ourselves or made. I still have a cup I made out of a fallen oak. We took our hatchets with us to gather wood, and I wound up taking a chunk of this giant oak home with me. I whittled it down into a smooth cylinder and took to hollowing it out on the back patio while my cousins plucked chickens for dinner. After about a week, it looked like a cup, and I used it all the time. Now it’s a very nice, decorative pencil holder in my office.
And as far as the neighbor negroes, we used to play with the kids quite a bit, but they had over 150 acres to tend; so they honestly didn’t get away as much as we did.
Besides, negro is Spanish for black. I never understood the disparaging aspect of the word.
Caucasoid is certainly not in common use, but Caucasian is in fairly common usage. Blacks keep changing what they want to be called, but Negro is in fact a neutral descriptive term. Mongoloid is not commonly used, but in that case it is more descriptive to use the country or area they came from as the descriptive word. This would be ok, except by far the majority of blacks in this country came from this country so to me they should be called either Americans or Negros. The only ones that should be called African American are those that came here from Africa. It is the blacks themselves that have caused this confusion, especially when they refer to each other as ni—ers when they claim the term is totally offensive and racist. If that term is not acceptable then it should be unacceptable for anyone to use.
I agree with you that “African American” should never be used, unless one is talking about Teresa Heinz-Kerry.
Bump that!
Tolerance.
