Woman's "outrage" over "nigger brown" couch.

I disagree, you people are the majority.

Elegy - If you disagree that means your saying having a Sofa turn up at your home with the label Nigger Brown on it would take a toll on your family, to the point you wouldn't want to sit on it ?

Nigger is on a derocative term if used in that way, I mean many coloured people use it as a welome "Whats up my Nigger"... Almost like saying "Whats up my Brother"... It could have been looked at as Brother Brown if she so choosed...

The word Nigger in this instance was used to describe a colour, a shade... Like Smurf Blue or some thing... British Racing Green... It was not meant to cause hurt, and that's obvious.

People in China use Nigger brown as a descriptive colour all the time.

Do you see the people n China going mental over the Simpson's, as they are all painted up yellow, and the Chinese kids painted up white...?

We should be past, in our day and age, the colour of skin... The Majority of White people have no fasination with skin or racial diferences... the only people still hung up on it, are people from the minority's, they are persicuting them selves.

When was the last time you heard of some one (You know) being racially attacked by a WHITE person ?

This site, for instance, has people from all over the world coming in day after day. The only people that seem to be persecuted against are idiots, and those come in all colors.

I disagree, you people are the majority.

I don't understand. Are you implying that I'm an idiot? I'm not sure since what I said had nothing to do with minority/majority, and you seem to have found a way to stick that word in there. I guess if anything makes someone an idiot, it would be doing something like that. Or maybe that makes you a jackass, I can never tell the difference.

well some people tried to take this in a historical sort of way. I mean, slave owners in the past, used to call their slaves niggers. So, in relation to the past, this offends them, even NOW. But i say, forget the past, live your lives as of now, look at all the good, screw the bad, i mean, all of us have had some pretty tough times, but as time progresses, we learn to overcome it, and eventually forget it.

Most of the black slaves are dead now anyway.

When I was a kid I had loads of Black Mates... Until my Dad sold them all.

I can't tell if you are serious or not, I don't know how old you are 

[landofshadows]

I was only joking... He burned them, Well the ones that he couldn't make a profit on.

Just joshing... Seriously that was out of order... I aint Racist, just could help moking slavery, I mean it is over, long over... Yet for some reason we still say sorry and pussy foot around the issue.

[Ruhani777]

yeah... funny... i once saw a white man bump into a black man, and he literally ran away, im assuming he was scared.

[landofshadows]

Err I don't get that if that was supposed to be a joke you need to join the readers digest club or some thing.

But any way... I think in a world that we should all be treated equal, people being tied into the past and taking things too seriously is holding us back from moving forward.

[Ruhani777]

yes!
