Squeak 17 #26 July 19, 2008 QuoteI have been on the wrong end of a gun twice with porch monkeys. I had to separate my dad from a porch monkey that was half his age. I threw the porch monkey off our family business and I have not seen him since. Most people have not experienced any of the above. Once you have a negative experience with one of them. I believe you will change your position. I am not going to change my opinion of them. I am a firm believer of separatism.That fact that you would lambaste an entire demographic based on the actions of "one" let alone a few, speaks way more about you and your character than it does about any particular skin pigmentYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #27 July 19, 2008 Porch s are minions of the Wicked Witch of the West. We shouldn't coddle them. Do you want the Witches to win? Clearly we need another war. Getting back to the original post: Lets just ignore all this shit. Making a big deal out of it just, well, makes a big deal out of it. If black people want to say "Nigga" and they don't want white people to say it, well, why not go along with that rule, no matter how silly it may be? What do we have to lose? Getting our panties in a twist about it only PROLONGS how long that stupid word will be around. And denying ourselves (white people) the use of that word costs us absolutely zero. And if we just abandon the use of that word, that is the only way it will go the way of the words "darky" or "pickaninny." In short, I have no desire to use the N-word, and yet I will continue to not worry when black people use it. Fuck it. The whole thing is silly, and the only way to get over it is for white people to STFU and let black people indulge in it all they want until they get tired of it. The hell with the whole thing. It's silly. I refuse to participate. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leroydb 0 #29 July 19, 2008 QuoteI am a firm believer of separatism. QuoteSeparatism refers to the advocacy of a state of cultural, ethnic, tribal, religious, racial or gender separation from the larger group, often with demands for greater political autonomy and even for full political secession and the formation of a new state.[ QuoteBlack separatism is a separatist political movement that seeks a separate homeland for black people. Parallel to white separatism, there also exists a similarly black separatist movement, particularly in the United States. Black separatists generally think that white people are racist oppressors of black people, and that black people can not advance in a society dominated by white people. They believe the only solution is for black people to break away and create a separate society controlled by persons of African descent. The more specific goals were historically in flux and varied from group to group. Martin Delany in the 19th century and Marcus Garvey in the 1920s outspokenly called for African Americans to return to Africa, by moving to Liberia. Benjamin "Pap" Singleton looked to form separatist colonies in the American West. The Nation of Islam calls, much more quietly, for an independent black state on American soil. Much more mainstream views within black separatism hold that black people would be better served by schools and businesses exclusively for black people, and by black local politicians and police. The mainstream black separatism is an unknown group who supported anti-segregationists and integrationists within the African American community. They generally hold that black people can and should advance within the larger American society and call on them to work to achieve that through personal improvement, educational achievement, business involvement, and political action. Martin Luther King, who was a key speaker and leader in the political effort to overthrow segregation in the 1960s, and Malcolm X, who until May 21, 1964 was known as a black separatist from the Nation of Islam, may personify the opposition between the two views.
