gay ol' time |
im someone who likes to write and hates to have any words limited. no word should be totally off limits since any word can be used in not a mean spirited way, in the right context. examples:
- Niggas Wid Attitudes
- Guinea t = wife beater (2nd probably more offensive)
- "we;re here, we're queer..."
- National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,
- "Jew ' is one of those words that can really change meaning depending on context, emphasis: "he's celebrating Rosh Shoshana since he's a Jew"---o.k. but: "we had a lot of brandy left, but the Jew drank it all up". not nice. keep in mind that even Shakespeare used that one in a very negative way, see Merchant of Venice.
- of course in my neighborhood of Harlem guys use the word "nigger'" all the time, as slang, describe each other etc. again, not as a put down. and no i don't agree that only those in the ethnic group can use it--yes, that's discrimination.
- of course words for females can be used as put downs or badges of honor depending on how you use them etc: "that bitch!" (the 3rd person negative). "the bitch is back!", the 1st person declarative, a more up to date "i am woman hear me harp"
