That’s not the Al Sharpton I once knew!

Duh – the Black Death!

Sharpton: – those of us, and many of us have used it -.

Is the good Rev. saying that he sometimes use the word “nigger”, to describe black people?
This man is such a lying fraud!

Maybe some of the viewers would realize their stupidity.

“Wop”; from “With out Papers”; when Italian immigrants arrived in at Ellis Island, and were asked for their “papers”,and when they replied “We have none”, a notation: W.O.P was entered in the official ledger, meaning “With out papers”; and that is how “Wop” became a derogatory term for Italians!

“Spic” is self-explainator for “Spanish”

“Faggot” of course, means a type for a “torch”, made out of wood, soaked in oil wrapped rags etc.,; homosexuals were burned in England during the middle ages, and a “faggot” was thown on the wood pile to start the fire; and “faggot” became equated with homosexuals…or now “gays”.

There’s a logical explaination to any derogator, denigrating term; maybe if we explained and educated people as to the origin, and meaning of the words, and TALKED about them, instead of just acting like the don’t exist, and making it “racist” to even say it, (except if you come from that particular group, then you can use it as a term of endearment!); then maybe it would not only make people wise up, and educate them, but that they’d eventually just go away, or lose their negative “power”!

It’s interesting that the Shia, and the Black community, have used the same approach to dealing with the word; basically turning it around and adopting it as a badge of honor.

I personally think that is a backwards way of thinking; its the equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome in a way, that’s why I think it’s mental, debilitating, and pathetic to take that approach, but hey, if the idiots want to be able to use that word, let them, it just gives liscense to all the real idiots in the world to continue to use it, and it doesn’t heal any racial rifts, it just exacerbates them and makes them linger longer.

Which is why I think the Left encourages it; it creates racial divides, empowers racial resentment, excuses reverse racism, advocates affirmitive action, callously builds the cult of victimization, encourages hate, and despair, and hopelessnes, and the Left and the Democrats in this country THRIVE on all those things, and rely on them to create and motivate their base!

Because people are ignorant to the origin of the word, and by itself, the world is not racist, and its not even a “bad” word!

The Portuguese gave named the river in West Africa, when they were exploring down there in the 15th Century, the “Niger River” from their word for “black” because the water is dark colored due to all the tanins in the water from the tropical jungle/trees.

Since it was the “Niger River”, the people who lived along its banks, became “Niggers”, or those who live along the banks of the Niger River.

It later was extended to anyone with black skin.

Of course, with the slave trade, and slavery, and then Jim Crow, etc., it was the Connotations of contempt, denigration, suppression, etc., that were imbued into the word, that made it so evil.

The bottomline; you could put those same hateful and negative connotations into ANY word; even “broccoli”, and make it negative/bad stereotype. The whole looking down sideways, the sneering, and the contempt that is put into the use of the word when delivered at a receipient, is what gives it the horrific connotations; not the intrinsic meaning of the word itself.

It’s interesting, there is a similar situation that occurred in another group of people, about 30 years ago.

The word “mutawali” in Arabic, means, literally “Adherents to the House of Ali”.

This refers to Ali, the nephew of the Prophet Mohammed, who became leader of the Islamic community after Mohammed’s death; and Ali’s followers of course became the Shiites, or Shia, as we know them today.

In Lebanon in Particular, instead of “Shia” or “Shiite”, it became fashionable to refer to Shia as “Mutawali”; but the Connotation became more than the literal meaning; “mutawali” became a substitute” for “ignorant country bumkin illiterate piece of crap” type of thing…

The use of “mutawali”, directed towards a Shia, became a “fightin” word; almost with the exact same history, connotation, etc., as “nigger”.

In the 70’s, with the eruption of the Sunni-Shia-Chritian Civil War in Lebanon, the Hezbollah Militias, decided almost spontaneously, to suddenly adopt the term “mutawali” as a badge of honor, of pride, of defiance…..

In essence, among the Shia of Lebanon, over the past 30 years, “mutawali” has become the transformation of “nigger” into “nigga”!

As far as I’m concerned personally though; two wrongs don’t make a “right”.

I reiterate what I said on the other thread: As my daddy taught me when I’m young, if you have no respect for yourself, how do you expect respect from someone else?

Its the same with using the words “bitches” or “hoes” to refer to women; if the woman accept that type of thing, it degrades them as well as the people who use it.

And when you allow people, ANYONE to talk to you like that, you empower the disrespect, and the crappy way they treat you; in other words, you accept what they do to you!

Not very smart…

Now let’s move on to the next bad racist word, ‘Black Hole’

.

I’m tired of talking about whoopi.

They used to point to separate schools, water fountains, buses, but now there’s nothing overt to point to.

It was a little easier to admire the civil rights leaders, both black and white, of yester-year than the modern ones.

Back then, bravery was a white man serving and employing blacks in his restaurant, knowing there very well might be hostile bigots intending to do him harm when he left the building.

Now, bravery is giving a speech in support of affirmative action to a cheering crowd, with a personal security detail waiting outside to escort you to your motorcade.

The point is that the ‘n-word’ is not racist

Isn’t “nigger” a derogatory term to impugn the negro race? How is that not racist? I know that there is so much that is incorrectly labeled as ‘racist’ to justify feigned outrage, but this isn’t part of that fraud.

Are you conflating “nigger” and “nigga”? The latter being arguably not racist, of course.

Video: Sharpton disappointed in Jackson, makes same basic point as Hasselbeck

Jesse Jackson = Race bait-er

Al Sharpton = Pot meet kettle

They used to point to separate schools, water fountains, buses, but now there’s nothing overt to point to.

The only reason that this word is considered ‘racist’ is because of the ‘outrage’ that people like Jackson and Sharpton feign at its use. If they would ignore the word when it is uttered (like they do when they hear it amongst themselves) then it won’t matter any longer.

The ‘n-word’ (the only reason I use ‘n-word’ is the filter will not allow me to post the actual word) is not in any way shape or form racist, nor does it prove racism. . . it is an excuse to be ‘offended’.

Freedom of speech does not mean you are free not to be offended. Whoopi still wants it out there so that she can be ‘offended’ when someone repeats what she says and call for them to be fired. . . though she can say anything with impunity.

Now let’s move on to the next bad racist word, ‘Black Hole’. I’m thinking that the Space Science term ‘Black Hole’ should be changed. It offends important black people.

The term “Black Hole” has always offended Russians, and they even have a lot of important physicists.

Yet somehow the term is still with us.

Okay. We get it. The use of the ‘N’ word is bad.

Now let’s move on to the next bad racist word, ‘Black Hole’. I’m thinking that the Space Science term ‘Black Hole’ should be changed. It offends important black people. Does Reverend Al have any suggestions? Space-Time Vacuum Perforation maybe?

Let’s not forget black box, black market, black Friday, Black & Decker, blackberry, blacktop, blacklist, blackout, black jack, black eye, blackened catfish, black angus beef, Black Eyed Peas, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, AC/DC’s Back in Black, the band Blackfoot, black people with the last name “Black”, white people with the last name “Black”, the town of Blackpool, and of course black crayons.

Did I miss anything?

Wow, pathetic!

That’s what 40 years of activist Democratic Leftist racist anti-American/Self-hating/self-loathing/while-guilt-driven agendas can do to people; it turns their minds into mush!

Sad, disgusting, pathetic..
