I'm not telling Bill Cosby he shouldn't be upset at the ubiquitous use of the word in the black community. Thunder is speaking in absolutes about it. I am not. Of course black people can still use it in an insulting manner towards each other. That isn't the common context it is used in though.
It's not self-loathing. They are taking power away from the word when they use it. It is the context it is used in that is important.
No, we are both white. His skin is lighter than mine, which is pretty hard to do.
Why do we have to be black? Is race that important to you? :ssst:
I already did and so have a bunch of other people in this thread, but your either being super dishonest or you're illiterate so you didn't understand.Since you are the one making the accusation, isn't it up to you to prove your accusation?
would you ever insult a black person on how dark his skin is?
This is an absolute, but thanks for clarifying.
"Black" was just the politically correct term you folks wanted to be called. Before that it was "African 'American". What is it today?
First you accuse me of not understanding what "double-standard" means, now you are accusing me of being "super dishonest" or illiterate. All without proof. Maybe you are the one that should study, buddy. Try this book: Amazon.com: How to Debate, Revised Ed. (Speak Out, Write On! Books) (9780531111222): Robert E.

Now this is a straw man. You were talking about black on black interactions. I spoke about white on white interactions. Now you want to switch it up and make it black and white interactions which is pointless because your original point was about racial self-loathing.
I've never wanted to be called black. I'm white. :lol:
would you ever make jokes about the skin tone of a black person?
Why would that matter?
I always wanted to be called "black" when I was a kid because I'm a self-loathing honkey.
isn't it obvious?????
Penis envy?

So then you're illiterate.First you accuse me of not understanding what "double-standard" means, now you are accusing me of being "super dishonest" or illiterate. All without proof.

Now please excuse me while I go back to listening to Dr. Dre sing about bitch niggaz.

Not in the least. You said black people making fun of black people for their skin tone was caused by self-loathing.
He asked whether or not his jokes about a fellow honkey's skin tone were also caused by self-loathing in your estimation....
do white people in the USA have a history of slavery & oppression based on the concept that they were racially inferior?
no, no they do not.
Lies, false accusations and personal attacks. Is that all you have? No facts? No actual debate points? You are living up to your political leaning of "liberal".So then you're illiterate.

Not racially inferior, but socially inferior, yes we do. Indentured servitude and oppression on the basis of financial status was incredibly rampant in this country for quite some time.
You and Wake don't know what a double standard is. You should look up context and study it intently.
