Tom hanks son (Chet) explains to us why we should embrace him using the N word.I dont even,wait,WHAT

[Syke1]

Ashkenazis arent white?

And what is worth the caucus jew seperation. The real Jews never left the middle east to begin with, so yeah. Your Goldsteins are still white.

If I’m missing something or if I’m wrong, please do tell.

Our politicians and fundamentalists are Pro-Israel. Not me or anyone under 25 that i know. Your generalizations are fucking wonky.

[FOBio]

What legitimate reason do you have for me to “get told?” What would you say?

Again, context… If you*(random person I don’t know)* start rolling up on me with nigga this, nigga that, in an aggressive manner, we are gonna have a conversation about my dislike of you using that word in that fashion, and how it might get you hurt.

Every disagreement doesn’t have to be a fight, verbal or otherwise.

Of course. Because most likely that person (me in your scenario) is using it on the main/original/common definition - to use as a derogatory term to black people. Even Chet understands this. And his first sentence even says he is using this amongst people who knows and loves (not random strangers).

Meanwhile in China…

Dude I can’t even be bothered to give a real response to someone who lumps all white people into one big group. Jews have a vastly different culture from Irish people who have a vastly different culture from German people, so on and so fourth. Fuck i’ve lived on the east and west coasts of America and it’s easy as fuck to see the huge difference in culture in just this small region of the world. You have either not ventured very far outside of the area you live in and just make sweeping generalizations about the world at large based on your small sample size and life experience, or your observational skills are shit tier.

As for the plights of white people, Jews during WWII, in fact Jews all through a good deal of history honestly, the Irish in the early Americas, Irish slaves, you really don’t have to look far to see the adversity numerous groups of white people have had to put up with over the history of peoples. Non-whites are not the only ones to get fucked over in history, plenty of them know adversity, hell lots of modern day white people know just as much adversity as everyone else, just because the majority of elites are white doesn’t mean the rest of us don’t get shit on regularly just like everyone else.

Also you didn’t need to mention your race because you don’t have to be a specific race in order to spout racist retarded garbage.

*Destroyers is an amazing nickname, but it’s a better name for humanity as a whole.

Definitely wasn’t racist. Can’t be racist against white people anyway; prejudiced, maybe but racist? Nope.

Loool wut?

Again, more about the culture than the race. Americanized (insert race here) is really not as different as they’re made out to be.

It’s not about how different they are, it’s that they are different at all.

The Irish slave trade was nothing like the African slave trade. At all.

It’s not a competition stupid.

Those adversities were overcome by infiltration, a tool that not all races can implement. Adversity isn’t adversity if we all go through it. That’s just life. And none of these plights listed have made it to today to still be an ongoing problem, so that’s not really what I’m referring to.

Everyone goes through adversity no matter who they are, so yes we all deal with bullshit. That’s just life. And it’s a good thing a lot of those adversities aren’t problems anymore but people still deal with strife and hard times, you’re making it sound like it’s sunshine and daisies for everyone with white skin. I promise you. It’s not.

Racial tension between black and white people are still extremely high, I just find it funny that it’s more of a fuss about using the word rather than having an actual discussion regarding race relations.

Yea well when people write off the problems both sides go through it’s no wonder neither side is interested in coming to terms with each other.

Racism is systemic oppression, which is not possible to inflict on white people in America.

Uh that’s only one part of racism. Racism is also the belief in one superiority over others based simply on race, or hatred or intolerance of another race or other races. So yea you can be racist to white people, it’s not just about oppression, that just happens to be a large part of it.

You’re right, it’s not a competition it’s a failed comparison…

It’s not a comparison either, it was an answer to the fucking question YOU asked. You asked what plights white people have faced, I named a few, I never made a single comparison. This is why I keep calling you stupid, because you keep being stupid. If you want me to stop calling you stupid then stop saying stupid shit.

No one said everything is free, but it’d be a lie to say that white Americans don’t have life set to easy mode.

You really are an ignorant fuck aren’t you? I’ll be sure to tell the white guy at work tomorrow that despite working 3 jobs just to have a roof over his head and some food to eat that his life is easy mode, I’m sure he’ll really appreciate it.

And regarding the race relations, when it’s a stalemate, it’s usually dead in the water, but some people are just so enthralled by saying n*gger that they feel they need that special clearance. So now the word takes priority over the real issues and therein lies the problem. What’s worse is that people asking to say it tend to sound awkward as fuck saying it; so the point is moot.

Then yell at Jimmy for making a mountain out of a mole hill because I guarantee no one here gives a flying fuck if Chet fucking Hanks wants to say nigger or not aside from silly fucks like Jimmy himself who get bent out of shape over fucking non-issues like this one instead of turning their attention to actual problems. Chet Hanks saying nigger doesn’t fucking matter AT ALL, and is only a big deal because stupid people decided it should be a big deal. Who cares if Chet says nigger, what a stupid useless thing to get bent out of shape over. I even asked a few pages back why anyone would give a single fuck. No one answered me because there is no reason to give a single fuck about this.

Jimmy? Who?

Anyway, I mostly agree with the first/last paragraph, people are at right to say whatever they want, but the dichotomy between ‘it’s just a word,’ and ‘I only use it to…/I should be able to, because…’ is astounding to say the least. If it’s not such a big deal, why list the reasons you’re allowed to use it?

Now for the rest:
Did you…did you just dismiss the idea of white privilege by saying I’m an ‘ignorant fuck?’ Yeah, you did. This is why you shouldn’t continue the name-calling; not because I’m offended by some random nigga on the internet, but more so because you’re certainly not the most intelligent person in the room, especially when you:

• Used anecdotal evidence to suggest that white people don’t generally have it easier than minorities.
• Completely changed the definition of racism to support your argument (hint: without ALL of the components, it isn’t racism)
• Completely misquoted me saying I spoke on ALL white people, when I was far more specific than that.
• Brought up terrible comparisons, and upon realizing that they weren’t at all comparable, say ‘well it wasn’t comparison, it was a question you asked, stupid’ when it was heavily implied that I was asking about/comparing the present day issues that white Americans face (other than standard life struggles,) vs. what black people regularly go through, which I’m still interested in hearing.
  All in all your posts don’t seem too outrageous, (the ones directed at me notwithstanding.) but that air of superiority is unwarranted and I’m just going to stick with my initial impression which is that I did, in fact strike a nerve and leave it at that.

Hey I just wanted to comment on this…

it’s not illegal so you don’t have to justify that behavior to anyone, but don’t be surprised when you get your ass beat.

I feel like anyone that has to resort to violence over words is a fool and a coward. This applies to anyone, not just blacks being offended by nigga. This especially applies X 100 times more when talking about Fundamentalist Muslims killing people over words and pictures. I wouldn’t beat anyone’s ass over any words (threats and true harassment aside) because that’s pathetic and weak. If you believe in freedom of speech you’d never attack someone for offending you with words.

I get what you’re saying, but let me ask you this, how does a fight/war/battle initiate if not through verbal communication first? It would be weird as hell if someone just squared up with you for no rhyme or reason.

lol @ ya’ll saying shit like “white people know black people don’t like it” when you know damn straight a huge portion of the black community don’t give a fuck. I’ll fight on this point til my grave, but the battle to keep this word “exclusive” is one of the dumbest things the global black community does (I speak from personal experience as Aboriginals use it as well despite it never being the primary insult of our people) and is one of the few things that legitimizes a point of a racist. “I can but you can’t” is such a ridiculous notion and the irony of racial exclusivity as a basis for moralistic standards is lost on most, it’s an all or none situation in my opinion. Saying it’s a painful word with a painful history is inarguable, but “we own it we say it with pride!” is dumb shit people say in debates without realizing that in most communities, it’s strictly a colloquialism and is used out of habit not conviction or higher purpose.

If you think it’s about exclusivity, you really aren’t paying attention. It’s far deeper than that. People saying ‘hurr it’s just a word’ need to get the fuck off the set until they take a history class that doesn’t worship/revolve around white people.

Who cares if a person says nigger in 2015?
White black orange purple red yellow, jesus christ it’s a word

What those fellas in black with afros had to put up with was actual racism. Just like those asian immigrants from early 20th century was actual racism and what mexicans went through from like early 21st century to the beginning of this decade went through real racism, indians probably had that shit the worst but hey.

Great, now you have me thinking about whether or not indians that were stripped of their land simply migrated to mexico and became most of the mexicans we see today -_-*

See the response above. People who try and point out another ethnicity as an equal or similar struggle just show how little they know about true adversity.

I wish gook wasn’t a racial slur. It’s right there behind nigga in great words that unfortunately offend people.

Nah fa**ot is definitely the GOAT slur. Gook and nigga with the hard R (word to Donald Glover) hit the ear wrong and come off as one of those awkward words that never should’ve been created like cunt. Seriously, I don’t know what language those words are derived from, but the English adaptation of said words is trash.

You can’t insult white people…

How you gonna inflict verbal damage on a people that regularly do shit like climb mountains just to jump off them attached to a rubber band, swim, run, have intercourse with, and otherwise irritate wild animals, shoot up movie theaters/schools, and create and distribute child porn?

They are way too fucked up to be hurt by words, or much of anything else aside from bankruptcy…

That’s because there’s no need to. Just like most white humor, the joke is just so in your face and blunt, there’s nothing to be said. A group who’s culture consists of nothing other than being completely devoid of culture needs no offensive nickname, as the typical white American lifestyle is already its own worst insult. Don’t believe me? Walk into your local Starbucks/Panera/Noodles&co/Trader Joes etc. and just wait. It’s so mundane it makes you crazy enough to do all of those things you listed without thinking twice.

Son get the fuck outta my face with that history class shit like you know anything bout the struggles of black people beyond what you read in a Cracked article or a first year Social Studies class, lol. If you say nigga yourself you’ve got no justifiable reason to get tight when somebody says it due to where they grew up or who they grew up with, it’s about context, that’s the exclusivity problem and one of many stupid things that parents should be educating their kids on. durr da whites are all the problems is exactly what is holding back people globally and this NO NO WE CAN SAY IT BUT YOU CAN’T moral fencing done by dumbasses is one of many problems facing the black community and its fight for an image that isn’t marred by poverty, minimal life goals and crime.

Lol chill on that first sentence. Say what you wanna say my nigga, but some black people being uncomfortable being called nigga by other people is not what I would consider a relevant problem facing the black community. Not eem in the top twenty. Just saying I’ve seen enough writing on this foolishness to eclipse a legitimate dissertation, and somehow at the end of it all, I get hit with the ‘oh but it’s a word tho.’ Something just doesn’t add up there. Educating kids on being called nigga? Couldn’t you just as easily educate kids on why people may feel a certain way regarding the matter? Of course not, because that would take some level of empathy and understanding which is unsurprisingly absent in people vying to utilize the most important word in the entire english language. Like it’s impossible to call a nigga something other than a nigga. Nigga please. I will say though, this thread has my usage of nigga at 120% its normal capacity, it’s a good thing I’m certified.

[crotchpuncha]

I’m sorry but I just can’t take people who use terms like white privilege seriously.

[Goteki_45]

I’m sorry but I just can’t take people who use terms like white privilege seriously.

“Can’t be bothered…”
"Can’t take seriously…"
No logic, reasoning, or anything of note, just condescension. Have a good day sir my willfully ignorant nigga.

[Raz0r]

How can anyone deny the benefits you get from being born white? The proof is everywhere to this very day.

[FOBio]

An employer doesn’t like Asian people and so never hires any. I don’t care if this employer is white, black, or something in between. That’s racism.

[chadouken]

As good practice, I just don’t use the word at all, unless I’m 100 percent sure there are no black people around.

[Bious]

As good practice, I just don’t use the word at all, unless I’m 100 percent sure there are no black people around.

Racist.

Racist.

Fuck man, I was just joking. In truth I don’t think any white fucker has the right to decide whether it’s appropriate to use that word or not. I sure as hell don’t say it in any context. I think I tried to type it once or twice here on SRK but it just felt weird and wrong because I’m white so I don’t use it. I was just trying to get some LOLs. You should know by now that 90 percent of what I post on here isn’t serious at all, especially on these ridiculous threads with controversial topics.

Fuck Chet Hanks.

[pootnannies]

i didn’t even know Chet Hanks existed until i clicked on this thread.

[ShinAkuma204]

White, black, yellow, green, purple, whatever, if your name is Chet you absolutely can’t say the N-word.

[DANZAN]

Chet sounds like shet

[Low-Quality-UK]

Now Tom is facepalming again because of that word … this time in a bad way though …

[Raz0r]

That’s just one example of racism.

[Sadistic_Masochist]

Ashkenazis arent white?

And what is worth the caucus jew seperation. The real Jews never left the middle east to begin with, so yeah. Your Goldsteins are still white.

If I’m missing something or if I’m wrong, please do tell.

Our politicians and fundamentalists are Pro-Israel. Not me or anyone under 25 that i know. Your generalizations are fucking wonky.

So a government chosen by the MAJORITY is pro Israel, anti arab/muslim and pro war, but most of the people ain’t? Yeah, sure, that makes a lot of sense.

I’m sure most of the ww2 Germans didn’t want war either, they just elected the government they agreed with. It just happened to be what the US has become.
