You haven't been on this forum long enought to realize that "generally" does not necessarily apply here, and that it is not ignored here. Read a little more and you'll realize that this "point" has been brought up ad nauseam, and never leads to a useful discussion.

"My iggings dont dance, we just pull up the pants and do the rock-a-way, Lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back...." Hit single by Fat Joe, a Cuban/Puerto Rican fellow written by Scott Storch, a Jew.

Storch is quite the hidden celebrity. Almost every rapper on the airwaves has probably worked with the guy, and he's from the Phila burbs. He actually talked at length about this very subject!

Go find the 20 questions in a back issue of Philadelphia magazine [issue: Who Really Runs This Town?].

As for Hispanics, I know the Puerto Rican fantasy with rap isn't just limited to Ricans. Rap is on all the stations down south, and it's in the trailer parks. And I know geeky white computer nerds who listen to it in their pimped Hondas.

Maybe... just maybe... civil rights has come a long way when we're now so thoughtful of what we say... and then we don't mind going to Tower and forking over dollars to hear it.

YOUR GUIDE FOR USING THE N WORD
FOR THE CULTURALLY UNAWARE URBANITE.

Case: You are white
Advisement: You probably should keep your mouth shut.

Case: You are an African American child, speaking to or infront of your conservative African American mother.
Advisement: Do you feel lucky, punk? Well... do ya?

Case: You are a rapper
Advisement: Swear away

Case: You happen to be in a church setting
Advisement: Will God like you after you say it?

Case: You are AA, and happen to be talking to your biological brother.
Advisement: Fine.

Case: You are an AA female, talking to your deadbeat spouse in a moment of passion
Advisement: This is encouraged!

Case: Your 5 year child is using this word
Advisement: Find your switch, paddle/other spanking device.

Case: You are an AA middle-schooler
Advisement: It's probably the subject, verb, object (and possibly adverb) of every spoken sentence I would imagine... but it's been a long time

Case: You are a white middle-schooler
Advisement: Oh really, if you don't know not to say that in front of other kids you are eligible for rides on the short bus.

But Ann: what about the word colored?
Advisement: That may be fine, if you're 85 years old like me and you want to remind your children of your age. How about just saying "black" and stock up on wrinkle-cream. You don't have to give into that PC muss and fuss--you're old after all. My Avon lady has this new anti-aging cream though, it's just fabulous.

Feel free to write Ann for any other stressing situations you might have in your life.

Happy reading!

I got your point, brah.

And sorry for the over-the-top responses. Too much Wawa coffee. If I went to the trouble of inserting photos in my posts, chances are I have been caught drinking sugar-free Full Throttle or coffee laced with that EXTRA MOCHA ALERT! business. Bad stuff.

Don't waste your breath sweetie.

No. Your point will not be understood. Please read the entire thread. A Jew is behind the entire thing.

Your sister, and I, and my child, and a quarter of Philly is getting called, honkey, white trash, and my favorite cracker. Now it depands on who calls me it, and their gender, and the context in which it used. See? I get to make the judgement call, and often use it myself. Considering I never cracked anything in my life including a whip or owe anyone a mule it disheartens me when I am judged just because of my skin color. Often times to by my hair color which is blonde. Some obnoxious, loud, big monster of a black woman threatened to STOMP me, and the slurs just flew.

Two wrong do not make a right son. Pass on this because if you're going to back down, and ask if your point is understood you are asking the wrong people here. I gotta go get me my jawn before I leave up outta here for work so I can play me sum dat music that has da word in it I ain't loud to use.

Yeh, well at least I got called sweetie, that's all I was really looking for in this post. HA

Well, i'm heading to the El, so I gotta put on my suit of armor. BUT WAIT, if I do that it will set off the metal detectors they put in place..
