let me be the first to proudly exclaim - i love the word "NIGGER". it's a beautiful word, really. not because of the way it sounds, or the way it's spelled. it's beautiful because of it's POWER. never before has a single word held such authority, such dignity, such extreme ability to piss off the most amount of people. the word "nigger", when uttered, has a certain capability that no other word holds. it has the power of hate behind it. now, don't get me wrong; i don't condone the use of slaves. yes, i am a white male. yes, i understand the history of white males in relation to the empowerment over black people. negroes, throughout history, have been shit upon and i understand that. i respect the plight of the black race. yet, overcoming all of my ancestoral background, i must in fact state that I NEVER OWNED SLAVES. this may be a new concept to some of my tanned brothers, but the fact remains - i never owned a slave! my parents never owned slaves, and, although many black folks may argue, my family tree never really knew that kind of lifestyle (the white-owning-slaves-working-farms-thing). i'm part german, part scots-welsh, part native american, and, by most accounts, have had a pretty shitty ancestral upbringing. not quite as bad as the slaves, mind you, but still, pretty horrible. shit, i've lost my train of thought - oh yeah, NIGGER. i can't get over how much i love that word! now, think of this - anyone can say "fuck" and no one pays a bit of attention. anyone can say "cunt, asshole, dick", even the ever popular "goddammit!" as an explitive, but those four letter words (and beyond) have no water weight compared to the racial slur known simply as NIGGER. i challege everyone out there, next time you're late to work and your boss yells at you, try the word NIGGER as a pissed off complaint. next time you get a failing grade on the mid term, only by 4 points did you fail, just stand up in class and express your rage using the word NIGGER. i guarantee, that test grade won't be the shittiest part of your day. NIGGER!!!!
