who cares. i say those words jokingly all the time. i have a really good black friend i say "nigga" around all the time. to mess with him ? no. bc i was brought up around that language and it has just become a part of my vocabulary. it's all about context. but if someone is such a woman they take offense to anything i say, despite of context. that makes them a sissy and is not my problem. it is only theirs.

How about we stop labeling people as other things besides people. I am a Person I have a lot of different aspects to who I am. My skin color just happends to be white, I happend to be attracted to men I also happen to not believe in a Judeo Christian Deity. If you see me as a white gay atheist guy and not as Brian the person you have a lot of maturing to do.

You'd have to be pretty naïve (or a bigot) to think that either of those words aren't bad to some extent when used in that context. However, I'm not annoyed by that shirt because it uses that word (as childish a word that may be), I'm annoyed because it's painfully unfunny as well as trashy.

So There !!



Really? People are using freedom of speech to justify bigotry again? As I said before, freedom of speech goes both ways. You can make bigoted statements as much as you want, and people call you a bigot for doing so as much as they want.

People will use anything they can to defend the way they think and their beliefs even if its immature and hateful. It's not about if you have the right to do it, its about morals and if you can feel good about your actions as a person. But if they want to go around judging and labeling people let them. You can't change some ones mind if they arn't open to criticism and can't admit they are wrong some times. And when religion is the basis of that belief as we see all to often people are willing to die for them.

Yea, you really just have to avoid calling a bigot a bigot.

Listening to their "freedom of speech" rebuttal would surely break your brain with irony.
