Well... the first thing is a question more than a statement. I've actually been thinking about it all day.
It is racy, but here ya go:

How black to do have to be to say the 'N' word?
I know I am sure that all black people aren't of pure 100% African ancestry.
I mean, can a white guy, with 25% african ancestry use the term freely? If not, then why could somebody with the same percentage, but has a darker (brown) skin tone be able to say it? Isn't the fact that some people can say the word, but others can't because of their skin tone - kind of racist in itself? Or is it just an attitude? Do you have to act a certain way to be able to say it? But then... that's stereotyping..

I used 25% because it sounds better than 1/16 or 1/8, but the same applies.

 

thats exactly what it is. I know a girl who is part indian, part african, and caucasian and she is white as heck.

I'm not following you....

 

Sorry, I was thinking of a way to write a large paragraph on to answer your questions with massive amounts of logic but couldnt think of a way.

Basically I agreed it is stereotyping but using my friend as an example, no one gives a rats ars that she is part this and that due to her skin color.

 

so... She wouldn't get in trouble if she blurted the 'N' word on TV?

 

 

no she would due to her being white. No one gives a damn about her being part african. Her skin color is white so she cannot say it without being called racist.

Got to love the logic of that when if you look at the southern part of Africa there are a ton of white Africans. I bet if they said the N word they would be called racist.

 

oh..... when you highlighted "that's stereotyping" I kind of thought you were saying I was stereotyping...

 

Anyway, it's really messed up.  They say something is racist, yet when people say the word, you have to have black or brown skin... That is bigotry.  Human behavior and thinking boggles the mind sometimes.

There is no equality, nor will there ever be.

We are not born equal.

ya it is annoying

lucky eqaulity has been becoming more of a general thought then an idea. Schools are benefiting from it, there is less violence, and segregation is only by gender and not race.

The major thing I can see that needs to be eliminated is black history month. I have seen more racism during it then any other time.

Just a suggestion, this is SSJ debate topic. Not VGC debate topic. Putting VGC in the title makes it seem like something that the site is involved in creating. This has nothing to do with the site.

VGC can also mean on VGC... if it said official VGC debate that would be different.

I have always pondered that.... But then why isn't there a "white/caucasian history month"? It would be only fair.  But no. The arguement would be "we already learn too much about crackers" lol.

Actually, ssj12 has had a problem with mispunctuation and capitalization so it should really read this:

VGC Debate: Topic #2: Equality



Kimi wa ne tashika ni ano toki watashi no soba ni ita

Itsudatte itsudatte itsudatte

Sugu yoko de waratteita

Nakushitemo torimodosu kimi wo

I will never leave you

no I'm just absurdly lazy on caring about punctuation and capitalization as this is a message board. On the PR side its completely different. I'm a grammar whore who has to redo my emails at least 5 times to make them as perfect as they can be.

the same can be said for why is there not white entertainment television, no Caucasian College Fund, etc. Frankly I'm shocked no one has called racism towards these things.
