Since it's outside the US, distinguished black fellow doesn't have the connotations it has. I personally don't see a problem.

I don't know about you blacks but I would personally loved to be called a distinguished black fellow

It doesn't offend me at all. Other cultures have different meanings for words.

In Australia distinguished black fellow is still a derogatory word, some aborigines do take offence to it. Also in rap music distinguished black fellow is not usually censored out so the context is still the same.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #15 on:** May 22, 2007, 11:12:04 AM »

As a white person I dunno what a person could call me to offend me. I mean they could insult my character...but appending that insult to 'cause youre white' is so absurd a concept I wouldnt give it the time of day.

This isnt to say im saying hateful names towards other races lack impact, im just saying most of the jokes about white people are either accurate or absurd.

i dunno but I never saw 'cracker' as offensive towards white people

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2007, 12:18:54 PM »

i like "honkie" a lot. it's almost onomatopoeic!

Himu · « **Reply #20 on:** May 22, 2007, 12:41:45 PM »

I dunno, maybe it's jsut me, but if someone called me a porch monkey I would laugh. There's something about it that's hilarious. I just imagine a monkey sitting on a house's porch eating chocolate or something and I rofl

Tauntaun · « **Reply #21 on:** May 22, 2007, 12:48:57 PM »

Do black people wear underwear or do their huge monster-like penises get in the way?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #22 on:** May 22, 2007, 12:49:10 PM »

I find honkie and cracker hilarious

Doesn't the UN have better things to do than tell us what words are offensive?

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #24 on:** May 22, 2007, 02:53:11 PM »

Honestly, almost nothing "offends" me now. Once you realize it's a free country and you don't have to listen/watch/etc anything if you don't want to, you're basically set

Himu · « **Reply #25 on:** May 22, 2007, 02:55:43 PM »

The internet has desensitized me of the word n igger

xnikki118x · « **Reply #26 on:** May 23, 2007, 04:26:31 AM »

I didn't know honkie was a derogatory term for a white person.

Porch monkey is my #2 favorite black slur. My #1 favorite is coon.

Yeti · « **Reply #27 on:** May 23, 2007, 04:28:40 AM »

Is coon short for raccoon? Slurs always confuse me.

No idea what it stands for or where it comes from, but it's a derogatory term for distinguished black fellow. And it's hilarious.

it came from the word barracoos which is the slave house. theres other variations on the word as well. but coon is the only one thats stayed around. Looney Tunes taught me lots about racism

Powerslave · « **Reply #31 on:** May 23, 2007, 07:12:09 AM »

Racism is funny when it's not serious. I didn't watch the Kramer video until a couple of days ago and was slightly stunned at what he pulled out. I imagined him saying those words in a comical fashion but he was dead serious when I actually saw the thing.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #32 on:** May 23, 2007, 10:44:47 AM »

Racism as a concept is pretty absurd, and to some people thats enough to make it funny. I personally try to avoid making A LOT of jokes based on race because then it develops into a habit, which can look a lot like, wow, being racist!

Um, have you seen Forrest Gump?

"Those coons wanna go to school."

"Coon? I don't see no racoon."

Yeti · « **Reply #34 on:** May 23, 2007, 01:16:05 PM »

Apparently not knowing slurs makes me as dumb as Forrest Gump. $:-\$
