I just don't get the rationale behind not accepting the clear logic of Nas & Zippy's last posts

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

Being a multi generational non practicing self loathing Jew, I have never used any racial slurs against anybody. I've never understood others who have used racial slurs. It's just stupid.

See, HG? You are a deep MF'er. You summed it up very well.

I agree with all you said, and I disagree completely with dolphin.

Anyone is free to take offense to whatever they want, but you are also free to be ridiculed. Saying "the p-word" (lol) isn't the same as saying the "n-word." It's the most powerful word in American English, and it's due in large part to its use and the history of black-white relations in our country. MANY ethnicities have racial stereotypes, but only blacks were brought over as legal slaves, who were considered to be 3/5 of a person, fought for their freedom, and then still didn't have the rights of a white person until very recently (and some would say still don't). That word is a reminder of that awful history and of everything that comes with it. It is used solely to dehumanize and tell someone that they are worth less than you because of the color of their skin. If "the p-word" does similar things to you, then you might have some issues. Europeans had their struggles in America, but it's not even worth mentioning in the same context as blacks and the vitriolic words (still) used to describe them.

I agree with this post 100%. However, and this is the problem with identity politics, groups don't get hurt, people do. And I don't think it's necessarily any more hurtful to call someone "the n-word" than it is to call someone a fat pig or a dumb polack, etc. We have an entire thread here and several mults that make fun of a woman for her appearance. I'm almost certain that's just as hurtful as some dope calling a black person "the n-word".

This registered sex offender I regularly converse with on the internet just said something really stupid

Of course your people don't use slurs. Your natural condescension fills so many words that it doesn't allow time for anything less passive-aggressive.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

Now we're back to all slurs/insults/pain is the same. That's a really odd stance.

It's pretty arrogant to think your pain is more painful than someone else's. That's the odd stance.

No it's commonsense. You are free to continue to try to whitewash these things though.

Odd but apparently universal!

That's bullshit. There isn't a competition over who feels things more deeply.

I'll keep this in mind the next time you share an opinion about rape Jewish people and a lot of other issues. How the person feels is all that matters.

There isn't a competition over who feels things more deeply.

There isn't a scoreboard for suffering.

I'm not sure what you mean. But it's interesting you bring up Jewish people. They often make the same argument that you seem to be making in that the Holocaust is the worst and most horrible tragedy in human history. I'm not sure if it is or it isn't. I might argue that slavery was worse. But these are dumb arguments. There isn't a scoreboard for suffering.

And if how a person feels is all that matters, why do you think- as you apparently do- that the feelings of certain people trump those of others?

That's your stance. I don't believe that how you feel trumps everything. My bad day isn't equal to someone who lost their job or home or found out they have an illness that is going to take their life soon. It's not difficult to put these things in its proper perspective.

Apparently if a German guy told a Jewish guy he doesn't care about the Holocaust because All Deaths Are Equal you would agree with the German guy. I wouldn't.

For those who say both words are on an equal level, go stand on a street corner, and randomly shout both words at passersby. Report back what you find.

You didn't have to ask!

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

As you say it is an individual case-by-case basis, you don't know what it is like to be gay, disfigured, morbidly obese, native american, mentally disabled or all of the above. And since we cannot know what any one person's situation or history or mental framework is it makes no sense to try to apply critical weights to various hateful slurs. They are all meant to cause pain and perpetuate evil. There is no place in an ethical person's behavior for any of it.

That's not right. Nobody said they didn't care about your feelings.

Let me put it this way. I consider the day my mother died worse than 9/11. I'm sure you consider the day your grandmother died worse than 9/11 as well. Think of how offensive it would be to you if a 9/11 widow came on this board and said, "Please don't compare you grandmother's death to my husband dying in Tower 1."

Look, if some jerkoff calls you "the n-word", I know you're not going to melt. Depending on the circumstances maybe you'd punch him and maybe you'd just brush him off as the ignoramus he is. There are women who have committed suicide over being called fat. Which is worse? That's rhetorical. These things shouldn't be measured.

Trae Young will be a bust. Book It!

I agree there is no scoreboard, but just in case there is a scoreboard there's no doubt Jews have had it much worse than the blacks.

Here is how I have the scoring..

SLAVERY


Balcks = slaves for a couple hundred years, spent that time in the fields doing gardening.

Jews = slaves for a couple thousand years, spent that time moving and stacking massive concrete blocks in the shape of a pyramid in the middle of the scorching desert.

Score = category goes to Jews in a blowout.

20TH CENTURY OPPRESSION

Balcks = had to sit at the back of the bus (where the cool kids sit) and drink from their own water fountain.

Jews = genocide

Score = another one sided blowout in favor of my peeps

21st CENTURY OPPRESSION

Balcks = microagressions, make it stop!!!!!! And sometimes a cop shoots you for no reason.

Jews = attempted genocide, ongoing. Better take France off that summer trip to Europe itinerary.

Score = Jews again!



Face it, Jews dominate the field when it comes to getting shit on.
