Check out what was posted in some gaming forum.
I was in the Resistance: Fall of Man forum (PS3). Someone complained about being called the n***** word over the mike system. There's a mix of responses. This is probably the worst.

"i'm sick of blacks playing the race card over EVERYTHING. this is a VIDEO GAME and you whine when someone says the word nigger? get over it. do you come on the forums when some 12 year old calls you a pussy and whine about that too? who cares, i'll say it again, get over it.

i'm tired of hearing blacks whine about race over everything. if you want equality, then fine i'll give it to you. there are 2 types of black people, just as there are 2 types of white people. the two types of white people include: white people and white trash. the two types of black people include: black people and niggers. if you can't see this, you are ignorant. and believe me, i can't stand white trash either. all i'm saying is that you are perpetuating your own stereotype with your choice of language. be the bigger man and just ignore it if some ignorant hick calls you a nigger then play the game and have fun. isn't that why you bought it?"

3. Yeah, this sort of attitude has been all over the intertubes
...over the last month or two. I mean it's always been there, but it's been heightened recently. You wouldn't know it from frequenting a place with standards like DU.

10. Damn few "white trash" were ever LYNCHED just because they were "white trash",
or even made to sit in the back of the bus. That's a knowingly mendacious argument.

12. those assholes get "brave" because they can stay anonymous
on the internet. Nobody will find out who they are.

They would never dare to call a black person the N word to his/her face. They are little vile, loathsome, cowardly ignoramuses.

17. My former brother-in-law, Charles,
was an oilfield worker.

He's a big, black man. One day he went into a convenience store and while there some white guy called him a nigger.

Charles hit him. One time. On the chin. He knocked that motherfucker out. In one punch.

I miss Charles.

13. Not that he'd ever say that in person
A lot of people think they're ten feet tall and bullet proof when they're anonymous. In person they're quivering piles of cowardly jelly.

15. WTH? My Mom posts in a gaming forum?
Seriesly. She thinks the invented the "two types of people" theory and furthermore, can tell who's who just by looking. Or by their driving habits, choice of auto, you name it! But where, I ask you, is the Bonus Statement?!!1! It goes something like this " I even have black friends...blah blah blah ".

It's really fun when she does this routine in front of my daughters. Which doesn't & won't happen again.

18. there certainly is
a lot of hatred, bigotry, racism, and rage out there?

whoever wrote that needs years of sensitivity training. if only someone somewhere could teach that mother fucker that there are actually only two kind of people whether they be black white yellow or polka dotted:

there are females, and then there are males.

i personally find that two words sound the most obscene to me: the "n" word, and the "c" word. though i know there are many other disparaging derogatory insulting dehumanizing terms that people with small minds constricted by racism and stunted by the bitterness and hatred they carry around with them may say on another day with the result just as hurtful (i.e, wetback, beaner, gook, kike, etc), it is the "N" and the "c" words i find most offensive.

peace out

19. Half of that is from Chris Rock's performance
The part about there being two types of black people. Although I don't know if Chris Rock meant "nigger" or "niggah".

The definition given for "nigger" above is not very flattering, either, and sounds like #4 was written by the guy on the R:FOM site.

You can try Wikipedia or Wiktionary for a better definition, perhaps.

I'm not real hip on the word either way. I don't understand why blacks use it at all, I really don't. And it gets frustrating trying to understand why they would continue to do so. That is probably why the R:FOM poster did it in the first place.

I understand why whites use it: they're racist fuckwads.
