The NotSees here who insist on calling me Knee Grow

Just myself, but I find nothing offensive in the term Negro. It has been used harmlessly for centuries. If it does get misused then that's on the moron misusing it and not the word itself.

Conversely, I do find it offensive to use the term "Knee Grow" because when you pronounce it as two separate words it definitely comes off with the kind of Southern accent you'd hear from bigoted, ignorant, white trash hillbilly crackers.

That said, I appreciate why you would react strongly and invoke the denigrating epithet of white trash hillbilly crackers because that's what the author of the post intended to provoke.

In the future though, it is best not to respond to bigoted, ignorant comments with more bigoted, ignorant comments such as 'Not-see' and etc.

You're better than that and you need to be better than that. ;)
I'm with you for the most part. I'm just tired if being "better than that" all the time and would like to see others here give a try to being "better than that" for a change.
 
"Republican John McCain sponsered the bill to pardon Jack Johnson in 2005."

Makes sense. Republicans were the party that ended slavery and were key to pushing through the Civil Rights Act of 1964, despite serious southern democrat opposition.
 
First off, I'm taking your word that this is even true. I've never seen the N word used in a story here. Second, HOW DO YOU KNOW that the authors using it are BLACK? No one is required to self-identify here by race, so you're just assuming. Third, the story side of this site is different from Forum or Chat, so it's not rbe sane. Fourth, if a decision was actually made to allow "black" authors to say it but not white,that's a decision by the people who run the site, and I had no visibility or insight into that so I cant tell you why.

And fifth, cracker, if you wanna use the N word so bad, go right ahead. I dare you.
Wow! Do you have issues! White boy, cracker. What other insults do you want to throw my way? Being a 79 year old Jewish man, I've had way harsher by people far better than you. Case in point. BlackRandl1958, an author of some fame here. How do I know she's black? She traded many pictures with both my late wife and I for just about two years. When I used "that" word in one of my stories, with disclaimers, she has ghosted both of us ever since. She wouldn't even acknowledge my wife's death 6 and 1/2 weeks ago. Finally, I'd never use the "N" word, never. If I was really pissed at you, I'd use the Yiddish word for the color black, and call you a "schvartza"
 
Did you stand up and object when the "Knee Grow" thread went up? Did you protest the thread calling young black people "Rabid Animals"? Have you EVER stood against the racist shit that gets posted here every day?
If you want to vote me into a position to clean up the political forum through moderation, I'm happy to accept your endorsement!

That was over 60 years ago and politics were very different back then. The Republicans of that era were very different. Republicans today have allowed their party to be hijacked by tbe extreme right, who are doing everything they can, legal or illegal, to dismantle the progressive reforms that many Republicans supported in the 1960s.

It is shameful that racist swine like you claim to have any moral high ground because of that. It is even more of a disgrace that MAGA gaslighters act like black people owe them something because the Republicans of Lincoln's era overturned slavery.

Fucking NOT SEE.

So, it's Republicans' turn to be racist. Got it.
 
People still think that New York Liberals wanted to keep slaves?

Are these people allowed to vote and keep guns? It's crazy.

Wow, you had a black friend once. I didn't know. That changes everything. You're Jewish and you're using the yiddish version of n***er instead. Sooo much better. You would "never" use the N word...except you admit that you did, and it chased away your one black friend.

To some extent, you're right. I don't know who you are or anything about your background, other than what you have chosen to disclose.

What I DO know about you is that you have chosen to take the opposite side from me in this discussion. You are arguing on the side of racists and race baiters and white extremists and "alt right" and purveyors of hate speech who think it's okay to call me KNEE GROW and you are saying or implying that if I use terms like that, then I am the one - the ONLY one - who is in rhe wrong.

And your justification for it is that you think it's unfair that you can't use the most objectionable or racist insults in your writing.

You're either a racist piece of shit, or too stupid to realize you sound like one. I have no sympathy for you either way.
 
Your attempted insults aren't very entertaining or original.

To show your submissive obedience to me, I order you to try again.

Or express your submissive obedience through silence, I'm willing to let you do that too.
Of all the idiotic shit you wrote, that was the stupidest. Go eat your own shit until you get sick and die. Either that, or you're a snivelling coward.

I understand your anger, but you're wrong on one point. The word he used simply means ‘black’. Outside the US, this is very common and is neither meant as an insult nor perceived as such. Yes, as always, there are exceptions, but they are rare.
Personally, I only use the N-word in very specific circumstances, and even then, only when it cannot be perceived as offensive. I would not use it with you because I do not know you and I have the impression that you would find it offensive, regardless of the circumstances in which I used it.
The problem with what I'm saying here is that some racist arsehole could argue the same thing.

If you are looking for a stupid person, look in YOUR mirror. Calling a black person a schvartza is the exact same as calling him or her a black person. Oh, by the way, MS informed, I (we) had and still have many friends of every ethnicity even you might be able to comprehend. Also, I'm not criticizing your lack of intellect because you MIGHT be black, I'm criticizing your lack of intellect because you're showing this site you are dumber than a stump.

Get this through your heads, white people. The N word is just not okay. You want to say it when you feel like it? In "certain situations"? You want to SAY IT TO ME RIGHT NOW?

Go ahead and say it. People will get offended and there will likely be consequences.

Why? Because even though America and much of the world has shifted right, most people (at least in the civilized world) object to hate speech. There are laws and rules against it in many places, and many people will just decide not to talk to you.

If you try to come up with hilarious terms lime "Knee Grow" or Shwartze (directed at a black person) you're doing the same thing.

If you are here defending people that say those things, you are a RACIST.
