Why did you click on this topic? I bet your all riled up,ready to get your debate on but calm down, it's not what you think. This post was to prove a point to myself. People are attracted to drama. When you read the topic,what went through your mind? Why are people so quick to respond to ignorance and negativity?


So you wanted to prove that if you used a horrible word to describe someone, people would get upset? Its not about people being attracted to drama, its about using some common sense and knowing no matter how you justify it, that is not a word to use.

You want to test reactions, like a psychological experiment, by using that word? Well, let's reverse that and find out why you would decided to use that word to get reactions? Of all the things you could say or write on here to get a reaction, you chose that word? Why? What does that say about you?

Most people who want to troll, start drama or get a reaction, do not use racist words to do it. Doing so only reveals more about you than it does us for responding to it.

It's actually just another word for black.


No it isn't. It shouldn't even BE a word. It was devised to degrade the African slaves before the Civil War. Go here and read what it says for the definition, or, go here for the full rundown of that foul word.

Justify using it in what way??I didn't use the word in a sentence. What did you make out of it? The word in between is VERSES..Im only referring to the words. So,does that justify what you were thinking when you read the title? If you can answer that then theres your answer to your smart a** question.

There is no other use for that word besides a derogatory reference to people of African descent. You can call someone a "n word" without using it in a sentence, smart ass.

First of all, I didnd't have to open this thread at all. All one needs to do is hover their cursor on your topic title out on the boards, and we can read the gist of the topic...
I only came in to see what the others have posted. For pure amusement; as I'm sure they did as well.

The majority here aren't attracted at all to 'this' sort of drama, if any.

Perfect example of me not jumping into the fire by me telling you that your totally missing the point.


You just don't get it. Your thread's title IS OFFENSIVE. I didn't care what was in the body of your thread, I was offended by it's title. That's the point.

P.S. I italicized "your" in your quote because it should be "you're"

You also admit that the title is ignorant and negative.

Oooookayyyyyyyyy. First off I used two words. Your so focused on one in particular when to me both are horrible.
Secondly,I did'nt use either word to describe anyone, simply comparing words,which by the way,one word isn't even in the dictionary and the other words meaning in the dictionary is far from being offensive,since you wanna get technical.
Third,I chose those two words because when you read the title you automatically think that this thread is a huge racial arguement. Instead of not clicking on the thread to avoid the drama,what you do you click on it..Then to make matters worst you comment on such ignorance. Then you wanna call me one of these horrible names in your little slick way. You just proved just how bliss ignorance is....It's ok though cause I see that your misunderstanding my point as well.Calm down it's not that serious.

Because trolling is an effective method on the internet to get attention to a thread. It been working since the early 90's probably sooner. Throw out something offensive and people will notice. You can say don't feed the trolls all you want, and yet people still look, even if the don't post. It's kinda like slowing down and looking at a car wreck it's just something people do.

Here's a quote from "your" Wikipedia link.


Quote:
The word originated as a term used in a neutral context to refer to black people, as a variation of the Spanish/Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger, meaning the color "black".



Just so you know, I don't care for the word either, but I'm not going to wrap my head around it or let it rent any space in my head. I've got better things to do than to worry about who's calling who what.

It's just a word. Let it go. Your blood pressure will thank you.

Ok J.R. I get it. Your offended by the title. I'm sure you know that I was'nt trying to offend anyone. Can I discontinue the thread? If so how?I really don't want to hurt anyones feelings.

Wow I did'nt even know I was "trolling" I never even heard of this word until you educated me on this. I just had a thought and wanted to see was it true.
