We all know the movie "Dambusters" won't be watched in Doris Moore's home.

That's totally fcuked up on all levels. The one to blame here is the Chinese dictionary!

Race related......
IN~!

Alot of other countries use that word for blacks. Its like saying blacks for many of them. We associate it with a slave slant and its taboo here, but what are you going to do with the rest of the world?

Wonder how long it takes before someone sues someone for millions over this because of emotional trauma or something like that.

What a ****ing joke. It's a word, get the **** over it.
"Oh my 7 year old daughter is so upset by a word that is inescapable in black music" Pull the other one you scam-artist.
Anything for a quick buck, huh? **** off
I'd laugh if I bought a white leather couch that was labeled 'Honky white' but I'm white so that's not racist.
:rofl
LOVE IT, great find! :aok

I dont know, I got a feeling about this one...
Moore said she's not sure she wants the sofa set in her home.
"Every time I sit on it, I'll think of that," she said.
sounds like lawsuit material there :aok
-
You know you should really be more specific when you say "black music", not all "black music" uses that word every other word. :rolleyes:
-
yeah I doubt wyton marsalis,the big bopper, or nat king cole ever said ****** or used hoe outside of gardening.
-
Do you have a percentage of it then so we can be sure??? Oh and this thread was somewhat INevitible here I suppose.
-
i guess that explains the wicker love chair in Honkey White that i got from Pier 1.
-
I gotta say it is unbelievable that no one caught that tag before that stuff hit the sales floor, that being said, I think she is being a bit sensitive and is angling for a free sofa.

Another item to fill the coffers of the two most racist folks on earth.... jackson and sharpton.
I also noted in the article that this woman is living in the United States but evidently foreign, I'd like to see her point out where Africa-America is located. No wonder her kid is confused. Being proud of your heritage is commendable, but shoving it in everyones face becomes old quickly.
I myself consider myself American and I live here.

Ya I know, when I was a criminal in training I used to go into the local Sears and remove the tags from pillows and such, really got the old adrenaline pumping.

Bah. Don't read your furniture. Negro is black so would a colored person get "offended" by their black chair?
Maybe the dialect in the area where that furniture was manufactured uses nig-ger for brown in the same manner?
It boils down to people being too easily offended. I've been called a cracker so many times it's not even funny (turn of phrase - it really IS funny) yet I still eat crackers. I still like snow even though I've been called a snowflake. I still like salt & my dog even though I've been called a salt colored dog. I still use my horn when I get a case of road rage even though I've been called a honky.
What's REALLY funny is; I probably have every race on earth in my bloodline! I know I have German,Italian,Cherokee,Irish,French,Dutch,Portuguese,Sicilian & probably a ton more. Yet I don't refer to myself as a German,Italian,Cherokee,Irish,French,Dutch,Portuguese,Sicilian - American either! The only way a person could be a Mexican - American is if they hold dual citizenship, the same as African - American, the person would need to hold citizenship in an African country & an American (North, Central or South) country.

lol yeah
Furniture-tag theft is really big here. They can get ya atleast a buck on the black market. Used to be the stars on the mercs, but now the boyz wear funtiure bling-bling tags around their neck. Word on the street is that IKEA tags are for the really hardcore types.

<----Spanish last name "Mendez"
But by percentage, Largest percentage frst...
German, Irish, English,Spanish, Hungarian, Slovak, and Prussian.
I grew up in an area where white was the minority race in schools dominated by black and Puerto Rican. In the 70s at the height of the racial tensions. In New Brunswick NJ Which was often called "Little Harlem"
Basically Im a white guy with a spanish last name.
THAT didnt go over well with almost anybody LOL
I got it from all sides
I've been called everything from a "spic" To a White Cracker Honky Mofo"
If I got upset evey time someone called me something I'd have had a nervous breakdown long ago.
Its all BS. Just words "Painful words"? Bah!
Grow up and grow a thicker skin already
If your gonna get offended about something. get ofended over something worth being offended over. Like malnurished children or something
BTW I beleive the term "Cracker" comes from the person that used to weild the whip and the cracking sound the whip makes when the "fall" (thin strands of string at the end of the whip) breaks the sound barrier making the miniature sonic boom.
Hence the term, "cracker"
-
i could use a nice couch .. she can send it to me if it offends her that much.
-
Why does the newspaper spell the offending word by inserting ... between syllables?
Is that deemed appropriate by whomever the police are on this issue?
-
The newspapers software probably has a net nanny like we do here in the forums LOL
I thought the same thing when I had to insert a hyphen between the syllables. Freedom of speech is a joke anymore even for the people who write & speak for a living. On a private forum like this I can understand but my god, when reporting news too? :lol

Kingsoft Corp., a Chinese software company, acknowledged its translation program was at fault and said it was a regrettable error.
"I know this is a very bad word," Huang Luoyi, a product manager for the Beijing-based company's translation software, said in a telephone interview.
He explained that when the Chinese characters for "dark brown" are typed into an older version of its Chinese-English translation software, the offensive N-word description comes up.
"We got the definition from a Chinese-English dictionary. We've been using the dictionary for 10 years. Maybe the dictionary was updated, but we probably didn't follow suit," he said.
Moore, who is black, said Kingsoft's acknowledgment of a mistake doesn't satisfy her:
"They should know what they are typing, even if it is a software error. In order for something to come into the country, don't they read it first? Doesn't the manufacturer? The supplier?"
Romesh Vanaik, owner of Vanaik Furniture where Moore bought the sofa, said it has been a best seller. He said he checked his stock but found no other couch with the offensive label.
BTW, dark-brown in Chinese is "ming he". Almost sounds like the N word if ya ask me;)

My apologies for being unspecific
To be more clear.... popular music, rap music and RnB.
I was talking about music that embraces being black... but still calls black people '******s', black women 'hos' and whatever else comes of this nonsense.
You know what I mean.

That would be rap which is popular music by definition; it sucks & isn't worth wasting gasoline to burn the CD's imo.
R & B doesn't use language like that; it's more of a smooth lovey-dovey type of music, where as the strict blues (no Rhythm, just blues) is more of a "poor me I've had it so hard in life & it's only getting worse" & strikes me as very close to the theme of most bluegrass songs like "oh death" by the Stanley brothers for instance.
But I know what you mean. :aok
-
I wonder if she is going to sue all the rap stars that use that word in the cd's her daughter buys?
Or turn all her friends in that use the word?
what? no money in that? nevermind.
She is simply looking for a fast buck and making sure that the chip on the shoulder of her race is prominently displayed in all of it's silly glory.
I hope I am never around her for any reason. She is someone to be avoided.

Ah, I was going to say 'what is now known as RnB' but i decided not to. Perhaps I should have.
I know what you're saying with R & B, very different to what is popularly referred to as RnB, which is like a night-club music. I don't know any 'artists' to back this up because i can't stand the ****... but i'm sure someone else knows what i'm talking about.
