Where is tanty?

[tantone]

Hey tanty....if it is such a not so bad word why did you use the ol' asterixs??

Of course it's a bad word. That's my point. The F word is considered a bad word--doesn't matter who says it. Why not the N word? What makes it so different?

[tantone]

What is wrong with just calling them black??

I mean they are Black. Other people are White. Some people brown....

You're right. That's why I call them black.

See, it's like this. Some white people are white trash (and I really wish we had a good word for that because there are some of them I want to insult to their faces), and some black people are n***ers. It's a fact of life. The people that refer to all black people that way are...SURPRISE...white trash. But there are a certain few who epitomize it. For example, Kanye West, Alicia Keys, the looters in New Orleans stealing big screen TVs instead of food and water, just to name a few.

Oh yeah? Black people don't feel bad saying it to each other. Quite honestly, it's the black equivalent of white trash--they just have a specific word for it.

Apologies i thought that was you defending the use of the word

Would be easier if we where all just one colour

[porsch1909]

Yeh but smelly paki ******* takes pretty long to type if ure a NED (non-educated delinquent)



It is funny when they call an indian person a paki though

Anyone who is brown is a paki for the NEDs

[j.m@talk]

The Maori word for white man is truncated to Paki these days ........ Which is kinda a new angle on things

& this is another use fer the term

[j.m@talk]

Pakeha is "in common usage, but many have difficulty in defining its meaning. From early records it is clear that the term was used in New Zealand before 1815 to mean ‘white person’. Initially a Pakeha was that person who came from England, and settled or worked in New Zealand. With time, Pakeha was the fair-skinned person who was born in New Zealand. Later the term was even more general. It was applied to all fair-skinned people in New Zealand, no matter what their ancestry or place of birth" (Department of Labour, 1985). By 1960, Pakeha was defined as "a person in New Zealand of predominantly European Ancestry" (Ausubel, 1960). The English – Maori: Maori – English Dictionary (Briggs, 1990) defines Pakeha as "white (person)". Kiwi Words and Phrases (Campbell, 1999) defines Pakeha as a "non-Maori person". Mary-Ellen O’Connor (1990) defines Pakeha as "the dominant white race in New Zealand. This would cover anybody of Anglo-Celtic origin (England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales) and, as the integrated, Northern Europeans (Scandinavians, Germans, and Dutch), white Americans, Canadians and South Africans".

Guff to read

It'll never happen, because you 'brown' people dont seem to marry out of your own race, so we will never 'blend' the colors together until we do.

I meant if we where all one colour to begin with

But trust you to take a cheap dig at me even though you knew exactly what i mean
