The "B" word
The "B" word
I saw a news clip today where Kramer apologized to the black people on Jesse Jackson's radio show. They interviewed a black comic named Mooney, who used the word nigger in his act quite a bit. Anyway, he said he will never use the "N" word again. Or the "B" word. Can anyone tell me what the "B" word is?

No we can't say Black, N.... or anything. You gotta say African American. And that's all a bunch of politically correct bullshit. My black friends don't give a fuck what you call them, because we are all the same you know. They can call us white, honky, cracker motherfucker for all I care. It's a fucking name. Remember that line, sticks and stones.....yadda yadda, what ever happened to that? I know what happened....fucking Lawyers and attorneys that will sue you for looking at someone the wrong way. God forbid you hurt someone's feelings. It's not even a race issue, it's a money issue.
This is just my personal opinion with my friends. If it hurts any of your feelings let me know.

The irony is that there are white people in Africa (and even though they are the numerical minority, they are the ones who hold the power). Should they also be called African Americans? I'm with Rob on this one. All of my black friends would probably laugh if you called them African American.

From now on, I wish to be referred to as a Euro-American, a Hillbilly-American, or a Cunnilingual-American. Yeah, Cunnilingual-American. That's the ethnic group I identify with the most.
Look for the United Facesitter College Fund, Muffdiving History Month, and a holiday in January dedicated to our folk hero... The-Man-In-The-Boat's Birthday. From now on, I forbid you all to use the B-word around me... beaver. We'll have a group like the Black Panthers, except dedicated to the bearded clam... The Clamsmen. We'll refer to ourselves by our tribal names. My tribal name: Slurrpa Furtaco.
Okay, I'm done.

The whites in Africa are actually called Afrikaanses.. They speak a mixture of German/Dutch called Afrikaans..

Commas go inside quotation marks when they appear at the end of a phrase.
You're welcome.
If plain and proper English is what you seek, I am the purveyor of such. You're welcome.
Thanks Catpain, but that does not answer my question.Capt. Grammar wrote:I know that I am not always "with it," but just when did biatch become biatch?undercoverjoe wrote:
