Well, I personally have a problem even typing that word out, let alone saying it, since I had a grandfather that was racist beyond belief..I despised it as a youth.

Towl heads.

I will call them all (afgani POS's)towl heads, and hope they die slow painful deaths.

You should not love your enemy, show them no respect.

They smite your cheak, you smash in theres.

When they are down to there last leg, you break it.

Anyone who shows respect, or argues the rights and fealings of my countries unwanted enemies, is an enemy there self.

So yes this is a ethnic slur, i use it openly and hope that all hate them in the manner i do. I dont feal sorry for the people of there country, i hope death apon them all. The united states government gave them a 3 week eviction notice and those who did not vacate the premissis, should be removed.

--

The ethnic group associated with the term cupcake buy the general public is not a enemy of mine or my country, more so friend than any other ethnic group i would say. I have no reason to hate them, nor does anyone else.

Anyone who openly hates the "african american" races is a bigget and deserves death. These people have served in every war this country has ever been involved in. In earlier wars they were subjected to harsher roles than the "white man". They have died so the white racist can have a roof over his head and have the right to openly hate them in public places. But in that, they also preserved there right to hate them back and also perserved the right for me to hate the blind racist.

Ignorance at its finest.

ah yes, how true.

And why is that anyway?????

Concerning the orginal topic:

I have seen the word 'cupcake" on this board several times in that last 6 months or so.

On one occassion it was part of a joke made in a post by one of the "large, intoxicated, born out of wedlocks"

at first, i was offended, but then i thought about it. As it turned out i ended up laughing my bellybutton off.

my point is, a lot of times when we see or hear things, we become outraged or offended because we think that is the reaction we are supposed to have.

We learn (and not just in schools) that words such as these have meanings of shame, fear, hatred, intolerance, persecution...the list goes on.

As a result, we recoil from seeing or hearing them.

Let's not go removing words from a language.
That would be "Double-Plus-Un-Good"

"That's the wrong word. Try saying a few other C words to your wife. When you wake up 3 days later laying in a pool of your own blood looking over at a severed appendage, you'll know you got it right.

AKDejaVu"

Ahh... that explains a lot about your attitude. I'm sure it was extremely painful and traumatic. My sympathies.

Ok, so we can't say "cupcake" and we can't say " bigtoe".. This is a very short list.

Ya know... This is the first time that I have ever seen gadfly post something sensible. So see... It wasn't a totally wasted thread.

Sorry lazs, it didn't happen to me. I actually have the ability to see something bad happen to someone else and learn from it.

Some day, you will too.

I edited the remark er "word" for various reasons, but mainly because i didnt authorize such a statement. Like i said in another post, it happened at a party, by a guy that was wasted. I really dont know why he put cupcake in there, i can think of many other shocking terms that would make for a much bigger uproar. And a uproar it was! Whats funny is how all the PC zealots pasted the word over and over and over trying to make a point. I bet those are the guys that dont even know a black person, much less have colored friends. The term is used very loosely amongst themselves.

Think about this, what if someone posted the word cracker! Or bigtoe.

What's disgusting for some, is not for others and not for you diddlying Political Correct zealots to decide.

Jesus, have you guys ever watched HBO, or euro TV---Think some of you guys never get out of your cave. TV in Germany and France rocks - much less violence and much more T and A.

Anyway, this forum might not be the place to exercise your right to free speech, i suppose thats up to HTC to decide, they own it.

And for those they do know me, know that if i was going to troll for a flame, i would have done a better job.

I know you didn't post the word, yadda yadda, but I won't be labeled a 'diddlying Political Correct zealot' for saying racist comments are a bunch of BS. People can say whatever they want, and I will never say that they can't, but in turn, I can saw whatever I want right back at them if I disagree - That's free speech. A word is a word until it is put into context. Don't mistake the unwillingness of people to allow toejam like that to be said without jumping on it with being sensitive, or PC, because that isn't what it is.

Thunder · « **Reply #55 on:** November 03, 2001, 02:14:00 AM »

LaVa,

If your difinition of being a PC zealot is someone that is repulsed by insensitive statements, I guess I qualify! I pasted it just as it was posted so others could read for themselves and evaluate the question I posed. I am surprised a how few people in here feel the same as I do. I want to address your comments in a civil manner.

My Brother-in-Law and many of my friends are African Americans. I have a God Son that is African American and I was best man for his father at his wedding. You show your ignorance by making false statements and making false assumptions about people you don't even know. You said you edited it because you didn't authorize such a statement.... so why defend it! If you feel there is nothing wrong with it you should have left it as is!

You again show a lot of class here LaVa and you choice of words is again at its best! Name calling is always the best way to make a point!

At first I was thinking give Lava a break, as how we went to my friends house for a BBQ, and he was 90% into a 5th of Bacardi with the grill was not going at all, and he was counting on the meat we brought. When he passed out immediatley, we just went nuts on his AOL account. We were true BASTARDS tenfold. “Email me, what’s a Clevland Steamer Contest” had us in tears.

We could hardly breathe giving out his name on the gay channel. But that’s cool...

He woke up, all was well, he laughed. So did we.

Now that I know Thunders family reunions are blaring Snoop Dog, NWA, and Sister Sledge, and Dr, Dre, I see his angst.

Come on Thunder. Give the man a break.

err some of my brothers and sisters are Fijian, we have caucasian mother thou. We lived in a country town and spent most of our fediddleing school years running or getting beat up after school sprinkled with the word "cupcake", we learned to fight and we learned to hate racist muther fediddleers just as much as they hated us. So get fediddleed, stfu or get banned!!!!

I grit my teeth and shuddup when I hear people on the main calling asian players dinks, nips and stuff and yes it happens alot and you guys who do it know who you are. Its illegal in this country to be publically descriminating against a particular group, and i'm sure in the USA there are similiar laws.

Basically what i'm saying is if your a racist, keep your views to yourself and if your an adult, fediddleing act like one.

DanielMcIntyre · « **Reply #58 on:** November 03, 2001, 08:58:00 AM »

oh yeah btw I'm caucausian, brothers and sisters fijian, am married to a salvadorean girl, have maltese brother in law, iraqi brother in law, tongan sister in law, finnish brother in law. Although theres still lots of racists in the country, our official policy and Sydney especially is very multicultural.

Creamo · « **Reply #59 on:** November 03, 2001, 09:01:00 AM »

Nice try Zygoat, but i don't see your Fijian wannabe minority claim to get you any government perks. You could submit your posts as a learning disabilty though maybe.

You pry just simply got beat up as a dumb kid.
