ignorance of some people truly amazes me
 

So here I am at work, still nursing the hangover from my birthday festivities on sat night :rockwoot:
I have a patient go off on me about something, I am still not realy sure, but she decides to pull the race card, (its convienient being a white guy working in a predominantly black neighborhood) its nothing new for me, but then my nurse tries to step in and help out with things and she starts going off on the nurse saying she doesnt want to take care of her own people:wtfru:

She stomed out of here (well gimped actualy with a leg injury) saying she will never come here again, hey works for me, less work I have to do.

it does kind abother me when some stoop that low and try to pull crap like that, but its nice when other co workers who are black openly back me over them so it makes em look even more stupid.

Well another 90 minutes and I get to go home, we will see who else I can piss off in the mean time

Race, age, sex, doesn't matter with some people, there's always a "pity me" in the crowd.

"its because I'm black?"

" you think I do drugs because I'm black?"

Always answer yes, shuts em right up.

fortunatley there was no audience this time, its the worst when its crowded and one starts going off because it starts to fire up everyone else and turns it into an us against them thing with all the patients.

No, it's because you're stupid. That's what I would say. :D

funny thing is I would probably get in more trouble for that than saying its because theyre black :lol:

but god knows I have wanted to

Probably...but you ar willing to admit that you don't like black people very much, aren't you? Don't get me wrong, you have the right the like or dislike whomever you choose. I've just always gotten the impression that you have a certain disdain for them in general. Perhaps I misunderstand some of the things you say on here but it certainly seems that way.

Oh and I'm not calling you "racist", I just think that you and quite a few others on this board, aren't exactly fans of the negro race... Will you be honest about it or dish out a bunch of platitudes about good black people and bad black people.

you said negro.................you racist. lol

i don't think it's the black he doesn't like, i think it's the stupid people.

thank you, guess someones just tryin to bait me for one of the arguements he so deraly loves.

There are certain people on the planet that no one should have to deal with. My grandfather called those people N------ not because of what color they are, but their general attitude, demeanor and work ethic.

How many times did Gramps call a white kid a N-----? :scratch:

Plenty, he was from Wisconsin. :lol:

IC.

Plenty of lazy-assed N-----s up that way. :lol:

And, most of them (if not all back in the day) white.

You just need to pull the race card first- if you were a black PA, she wouldn't be giving you so much shit, just can't stand having a white man telling her what to do :blah:

Ah come on... I would accept and even respect that if he used that term regardless of race. When you only use it to refer to black people then you are racist. Oh and no, white people can't be niggers. That's a bullshit smokescreen that whites put up to justify their use of the word.In fact, it's almost worse because they then use it to describe white people that act "black"...

As far as "work ethic" goes, white people have consistently employed/forced/coerced minorities to do the hard work in this country. What could possibly be lazier than enslaving another race to do all your work? I have never met a lazier group of people than some of the white folks I've met down here.

My favorite episode of Family Guy...

http://familyguy.watchfullepisodeson..._in_dixie.html

My favorite quote...

"The deep south? Isn't that the place the black guys are really lazy and the white guys are just as lazy but they're mad at the black people for being so lazy?"

Hahahaha!

You're reading entirely too much into it. He passed away quite a few years ago, or I'd ask him. I don't ever remember seeing a black person in that part of the world until I was an adult. Hell, when I moved away from there as a 12-year-old I was a bit shocked to learn that not every person was white and catholic...

How many white singers use the word nigger in their songs?

In fact, what is the percentage of black people who use it against whites?


Wrong is wrong. If you can do it, so can I. And I don't care if you're offended.

My uncles daughter met her first black person at about age 4...

She quickly asked, "Why is your face so dirty?"

Nigga, now there's an ignorant bullshit smoke screen if you want to talk about one.

"its our word" nope, its not.

See where I'm going? Ignorance begets ignorance.

Hell, i remember one member (not sure if it was here or cf) even saying it wasnt ok for white people to sing along to rap music with the word 'nigger' in it... Perfectly ok for them to selll millions of copies of said songs though....

See this is why I don't try and post from my phone! Yikes!

I do love to argue but really, Tommy a lot of you are bigoted, I have no idea why you won't admit it... For example, I dislike and distrust middle easterners- period. I don't like them and I limit my dealings with them accordingly. My father despised Asians and would routinely let you know it too! My mother wasn't allowed in my grandparents home because she was white. My GF can't tell her family that I am part black because several of them belong to the KKK and basically all of them would disown her.

There was once a study done where they took a bunch of supposedly racially unbiased people, hooked them up to a lie detector and asked them a bunch of racially charged questions... well, you can just imagine what they found. Heck, I'm not necessarily against racial bias, you have a right to feel however you want. I'm just calling into question the denial. I mean seriously, "My grandpa uses the "N" word but he doesn't mean it racially..." Hahahahaha!

Oh well, the word refers to black people. You obviously can use it any way you want but that doesn't change the meaning. It's like the bitch thread, sure you can use the word bitch to describe anyone or anything you wish but it doesn't change the root meaning. Besides, I'm just fucking with you. Lots of older white people are bigotted, most of the time for no real reason. Like you said, they've barely even seen a black person, much less have any real reason to hate them. It doesn't stop them though.

Play it again, Tigger.

Racism is not acceptable, but discrimination is a natural human state. We are all inherintly resistant to anything different, culturally or racially. But here is the deal. We are all slightly OCD, or Manic depressive, or whatever. The point these natural tendencies become problems is when they cause you not to lead a normal life. When you become irrational about your predjudices. Like nazis and Jews, Japanese and Chinese, maybe in some places muslim v. Christian.

Wrong. That's a bigot's excuse. If I do something wrong, then it makes it okay for you to do it too? So now two "wrongs" do make a right?

We've gone over this before. Just because you refer to your wife as a bitch doesn't mean that anyone can call her a bitch, does it? It's all in the context. Me and you are buddies, you call me a faggot or whatever, I laugh it off and call you a motherfucker. Hahahaha... Some stranger tries that and ends up picking up his teeth.

The thing about black people using the word nigger relates to their ability to take lemons and make lemonade. You give us the cast off remains of the pig to eat? We'll make them delicacies. You call us niggers as a derogatory term? We'll turn it into a badge of honor and us it to bring solidarity to our ranks! Then we'll use it so much in our media and entertainment that we'll change it into something positive. Making all the white suburban kids WISH that they were niggers!!!

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/291638/clayton_bigsby/

I think that was the same person that told me I owed him something because I am white and he is black... because, me being white means MY ancestors enslaved his ancestors. I didn't think there were black slaves in the Ukraine.

But, yes I know who you are talking about.

Tigger, you missed the point. You're right - you can have that word. No good comes from that word, not even to ruffle feathers. Cunt at least has a good ring to it.

It doesn't make me a bigot. It makes you a hypocrite. You cry about ppl doing something you do yourself.

If a thief gets robbed, I don't care. If a murderer is murdered, I don't care.

If a black person says nigger, I don't care. But, I do expect the same courtesy in return. Or is equality not what you fought for?


You realize what equal means right?

Oh I agree with this completely. If you choose not to let niggers into your home, that is your right. If you don't go to 7/11s anymore because they are all owned by sand niggers, that is also your right. However, if you are going out in white hoods and hanging black people because they have a nicer car than you, well you may have crossed a line. Hahahahaaha!

You're not supposed to make sense in a thread about ignorance...

Just curious, are victims or rape allowed to rape because it happened to them?

If its their way of taking back that power, good on them right?


One wrong is all it takes to make a right tig? Or are you just having trouble expressing yourself properly?

Aww.. come on, you can put up a better fight than that!

Just caught a replay of that a couple days ago.

The fight is almost won, you're on the ropes and punch drunk.

If I were a bigot, I would say you should be able to handle yourself in the ring.

Pretty apparent you can't. :lol:

That only makes sense to you people.... hahahaha!


To say that if I strike my wife, you have the right to strike her is ludicrous. So if I call my brother a nigger then you have a right to call me, my brother and all other black people in the world niggers? You call that equal? If every rapper on the planet came out tomorrow with a song that exclusively used the word nigger. You would not have the "right" to call me a nigger. Seriously, you think that because some musicians use a word, that makes it okay for you to refer to an entire race in that manner? Oh okay.

You people? What do you mean you people?

Its not based solely off of rappers. Stop being willfully obtuse.

You just said it was ok for you and not ok for me.

Why is that? Am I a minority now? If so, I would like some preferential treatment please.

Okay, let me get this straight... if a girl is raped, does it give her the "right" to go out and rape other people that had nothing to do with the original crime? Um no. The better question is if I, a black man, call my neighbor, a black man a nigger, does that give YOU the right to call every black man on the planet a nigger? That is your premise. Because some black people choose to use the word nigger, you now have a "right" to call us all niggers. Why can't you see that?

You, YOU damn WHITE people!!

Come ON Cracka... you know what he's saying!!

it's easily one of the funniest sketches he did on that show!

Um please quote where I said that it was okay for me to use the word and not you... I said that the use of any derogatory term and whether or not it's offensive can be put down to context.

hahahaha! Cracker and honky are two of the funniest racial terms ever! I don't think that I've ever met anyone that was insulted by them.

Agree. First season was definately the best.

It sucks that he went nuts...

He sure did, didn't he. How can you walk away from that kind of money?

nig⋅ger  /ˈnɪgər/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [nig-er] Show IPA
Usage note:
The term nigger is now probably the most offensive word in English. Its degree of offensiveness has increased markedly in recent years, although it has been used in a derogatory manner since at least the Revolutionary War. Definitions 1a, 1b, and 2 represent meanings that are deeply disparaging and are used when the speaker deliberately wishes to cause great offense. Definition 1a, however, is sometimes used among African-Americans in a neutral or familiar way. Definition 3 is not normally considered disparaging—as in “The Irish are the niggers of Europe” from Roddy Doyle's The Commitments—but the other uses are considered contemptuous and hostile.


Use nigger in a Sentence
See images of nigger
Search nigger on the Web
–noun 1. Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive. a. a black person.
b. a member of any dark-skinned people.

2. Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive. a person of any race or origin regarded as contemptible, inferior, ignorant, etc.
3. a victim of prejudice similar to that suffered by blacks; a person who is economically, politically, or socially disenfranchised.

Looks like dictionary.com disagrees with you 66% pf the time.

To be fair Karl, whens the last time you heard the word used to describe anything but blacks?

Pig can mean a lot of things too, but when I say it, im usually talking about cops. (For the food, I usually use the PC name, pork!)

U huh...so because the dictionary doesn't define the word as a "black specific" derogatory term, it isn't and hasn't been used in that manner? Seriously?

Does anyone honestly believe that the word "nigger" is not predominantly used to describe black people regardless of whom is using it, context or to what purpose? What would you expect a dictionary to say?

nig⋅ger  /ˈnɪgər/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [nig-er] Show IPA : a term used to describe black people. slang; nigga, nucka, nizzle, etc

Hahahahaha!

That's what makes this so much fun for me. I love reading all of these bs reasons why it's okay for white people to call black people niggers. Hahahahaha!

I never said that either tig. I said if you can, I can.

If I'm standing by and you call your neighbour, "my nigger" prepare to be insulted because its suddenly going to slip into my vocabulary.

Another fine example, I drove one of my friends to the "black" grocery store. His term, not mine. So, I was pointing out the black coffee shops, black gas station, black stop sign when he realized I was just showing him how dumb he sounded referring to it as the "black" store because its near a black neighbourhood.

But, you did say it was ok for you to say nigger because you're black. You've said it several times in this thread. And you then said it is not ok for me because I'm white.

If you would like, ill gladly quote you when I get to my pc to show you..

I'm taking it back

:rockwoot:

Fuck yeh! go whitey!!!!

Incidently I only found out that porch monkey was a pretty racist term, I used to call my friend Rich's lil brother and sister porch monkeys because they wern't allowed off the porch.

I am confused. Tigger is half white, yes?

So do you just say "nig" or "ger"? Also if you use the entire word, do you offend your self, and want to kick your own ass? :lol

My take on this is, many black people are simply mad that the whole gangsta phenomena is being mocked by white people, laughed at by white people, or easily copied by white people. Not only do you have Andy Samberg & Chris Parnell making fun of it on SNL, but every other white girl on myspace is flashing gang signs and laughing.

MLK day FTW!! :lol:

Your post,

"Its not based solely off of rappers. Stop being willfully obtuse.

You just said it was ok for you and not ok for me.

Why is that? Am I a minority now? If so, I would like some preferential treatment please. "

And now you're saying it again, I never said any of that. I said that it's a matter of "context"... You seem to think that if Lil' Wayne or whomever uses the word nigger, that it's okay for you to call every black person on the planet a nigger. I also said that many black people have taken the word and embraced it. I never said that it was "okay" but I will state that even if that is true, it doesn't give you the "right" to call me a nigger. Seriously, I don't care if every other black person on the planet turns to the black person next to them and uses the word, it doesn't make it "acceptable" for you to call me one, period.

If your friends choose to allow you to play these racial word games with them, that is their prerogative. I doubt that if you were on a public bus and one black guy referred to the other as "my nigger" that you would spend the rest of the trip calling them niggers to their faces...

I know right? Hahahaha!

Huh? Nah, I have this same type of argument with full blooded blacks as well! As my friends know, I've been on the receiving end of some serious discrimination from black people as well. I like having fun with white people on this subject because most aren't openly prejudice. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the word nigger come out of a white guys mouth because they don't realize that I'm part black.

hey wait a minute. :lol

Well, the eastern half of NC isn't known for its cultural progressiveness..

Nope i totally knew you were black I just don't care.

Shit, Michigan was just as bad, if not worse.

whatever, jew boy!

I prefer to be called a Jewey Cracker

Seriously. The irony is excellent.

Well I doubt that it's MLK day in Canada...

How about JewC for short?

Slightly back on topic.
Where Tom works, even black people are racist against black people. And Koreans...and Russians....and Spanish people...and Chinese.
It a sub-culture there that just invites others to point and say "You sir do not qualify as my equal....asshole"

Werks for me Homie

The irony of the thread title and then some of the posts in this thread is brilliant!

Sure, sure, trust me I totally understand that but am I the only one that's noticed that most if not all of his "stupid people at work" threads are about black people? Do you mean to say that no other type of "stupid people" go to the hospital where he works? I know how easy it is to get biased against a certain group if you deal primarily with their more ignorant members from day to day. Just ask any police officer in the hood how he feels about minorities...

If its where I think it is...
His numbers work out.


don't get me wrong.

I think there are plenty of open and closet racist on this board. I just don't think there is enough evidence to lump Tom in the same category.
When you work in emergency service such a s med\fire\law enforcement in NYC, you see crap that just leads to words coming out of your mouth that could sound racist or offensive.

I definitely agree with this statement! I actually don't think that Tommy is actively racist but I think that he is becoming somewhat biased because of his work situation. Again, I support his right to dislike anyone that he chooses, for any reasons that he chooses. Seriously.

Oh I may be being opinionated but I wouldn't refer to my posts as "ignorant"... Have I mentioned today what nice breasts you have? Growl!!!

Everybody is racist to some degree weather or not they realize it.

Truth. I'm completely willing to admit it. Other people not so much...

Jews hate white people.
There I said it. It needed to be said.

I'm pretty racist.
I tend to look down on purebreds.

Me too! I actually feel sorry for them and their monochrome ethnic backgrounds... Have you ever noticed that when someone asked you what your background is and you tell them. They come back with," I'm mixed too, part English and part Irish." Yo chief there's a difference between nationality, religion and race. Hahahaha!

:lol:

I guess I should be honest here...
One of the big reasons I tend to look down on purebreds is for cleavage shots.

Aren't you like 5'8"?

The only purebreds you look down on are 12 year olds.

Fuck you asshole.
I'm 5'9













(:lol)

Tigger if he posts up pics racing a cart with short shorts on that say JewC I'm coming to Carolina and puke in your lunch. :lol

I never said I would you a nigger tigger.

But, again if you and your neighbour are throwing out the "my nigga" and I throw one out to, is there going to be a problem?


If you come back with, "you can't call me a nigger because a rapper says it" I'm seriously going to question if you're posting from a speak and spell or not..

What is there to feel sorry about? Because Hollywood and the music industry currently think multiracials are hot? Please, they only care about money, and they know multiracial actors/musicians pull in a wider audience. That does not prove multiracials are "better" or more attractive.

By the way, what if someone is half Greek and half English? Maybe that's not technically "mutiracial" but it's definitely "multicultural". Heck, IMO the difference in personality & culture between a Brit and a Greek is a lot greater than the difference between a White American and a Black American.

Oh dear god here we go....

Try going from the ghetto to the suburbs. It's like comparing the similarities of a car and birdhouse

But what if you compare WITHIN the ghetto or the suburbs?

An affluent, suburban Black isn't that much different than an affluent, suburban White.

Some of you guys act like Europeans are all the same, have you ever been over there? The difference between cultures is huge.

So if I raise a Dalmatian in Scotland, you raise a Dalmatian in England and we breed them, you would consider the puppies "mixed-bred"? Hahahaha!

Have you? I've spent almost 14 years overseas!!! The cultural differences between people do not make them a different race. When you are talking about a mixed breed, it can only occur between two different races. FTR having one parent be Catholic and one be Baptist also doesn't qualify...

Racial differences are purely physical/genetic and have nothing to do with environment. A white kid raised by an African family will still be a white kid and a black kid raised by a couple in Denmark will still be black.

Thank you for confirming what I already said :shrug:

I said "Maybe that's not technically "mutiracial" but it's definitely "multicultural"

Culture is what's important, not race. Multiracial people don't impress me, multicultural people do.

But they make for more profound differences in my mind. I don't give a shit what color he is, if a guy walks up toward me in an overly baggy hoody and pants below his butt crack I'm going to guard my wallet. If a guy walks up to me in a polo shirt and khakis I probably won't be so defensive. That I recognize the fact that the former is more likely to be a black guy probably makes me racist in the eyes of many.

Meh.

If we are buds no...AGAIN it is context that is the reason for anger. If me and the neighbor are "throwing the word nigger around" and you come walking by and say, "Hey, why don't you fucking niggers shut the hell up?!?!" Yes, there will be a problem... Of course the same can be said if you call us any name that WE deem offensive. The listener gets to determine offensiveness not the speaker. If your wife's friend calls her a bitch, she may laugh it off, if you call her a bitch in anger, she may hit you with a frying pan. Same word, different result. I'm sure that you'll try to explain to her that you heard her sister call her a bitch and that makes it okay...

If you are fucking her doggy-style and call her a whore, as in "come get this cock, you whore!" she may enjoy it but if she comes home late and you scream, "where the fuck have you been you dirty whore?"... Well, she may take offense.

Well la dee da!!!! So the fact that my mother was German and French and my Dad was Creole and Cajun impresses you? How about my command of 3 almost 4 languages? How many languages do you speak? How many different countries have you been to? How many years did you spend there, assuming that you ever been further than Tijuana? Whether you're mixed race or multi cultural is an accident of birth and shouldn't be of any importance either way.

Cool so if a black guy is wearing a polo shirt and khakis, you will be off your guard, right?

ATTENTION my brothers, from now on all muggings and rapes will be performed wearing polo shirts and khakis. That is all...Yo nigga, I said khakis not chinos get it right motherfucker!

Never fails to crack me up.

If a black bunny and a white bunny have babies, no one calls them "mixed race" bunnies. Only stupid fucking humans do this shit. We are all humans, just different colors. Shove your differences in peoples faces long enough and people will be against you.

Ah not true, if they are two different breeds of bunny then yes. Have you never heard of a black lab, chocolate lab, etc. Are you saying that all dogs are the same?

Interesting, then why did you say this:

Why do you feel sorry for them?

Is there something about being multiracial that gives someone an ace card over someone who is simply multi-national, or even "monochrome" as you put it?

It's like you're saying that people like you who are mixed Black-White or some other racial combination have a leg up on everyone else. I call BS, because what really matters is whether you were exposed to different cultures & values........You could be mixed-race but born & raised in the middle of Nebraska without ever being exposed to any cultural diversity. It's all about the initiative that you take in life. Being mixed-race on the outside (skin-color) doesn't mean shit.

Now, you yourself sound like you have been exposed to a lot, gone to a lot of places and learned a lot, but that doesn't prove everyone who is mixed-race has a leg up on everyone else. That English-Irish monochrome guy you made fun of could have been exposed to more cultural diversity than you have.

Did you happen to notice the "Hahahaha" behind that? Yeesh... I'm sure that you know much more about being muli racial and multi cultural than I do...

Yes, they are all the same. They are dogs. Rabbits are rabbits. Humans are humans.

Can all dogs breed with each other? Yes. Same with rabbits and people.

If two humans mate, they still have a human. :bash::bash::bash::bash::bash:

Um yea, and you may be able to mate a chimpanzee to a gorilla but it's not going to be the same as either of the parents...

Dogs aren't dogs, they have various distinct physical traits that set them apart from each other. Just like different races. A little boy from Uganda isn't "exactly" the same as a little boy from Holland... Are boys and girls also exactly the same? Of course not.

Tig, I can't help ya anymore. Humans all share the same DNA.

Too bad you can't get past the color thing.

its more the stupidity or the sense of entitlement that gets me going. Working in that neighborhood has been rather interesting actualy, our population is primarily caribeans with some africans, mostly nigerians, african americans then latinos, middle easterners, followed by orthodx/hasidic jews, russians and soem asians. They all have their quirks or things to watch out for and need to be aware of some things, like if a russians in your ER and he even looks remotely sick, hes about to die of something terrible.

Most nights I work the fast track area which in some ways is tougher than the main ER because I need to sort through all the BS that doesnt need to be there to find the one or 2 people that are realy sick and are in need of more immediate care.

When you want ot curse me out because you had to wait 3 hrs for a complaint you had for 3 weeks yeah I may get a little cranky esp if I am doing 5 other things at that time. it can be just as bad in the burbs with all the soccer moms and their sense of entitlement as well. OS what I need to do i smore main Er shifts so we can take care of the realy sick people, plus thats more fun for me since its a challenge and makes me think more.
