Classic racism…you and others who think black people cant think for themselves or are under some voodoo mind control
Last Friday, I passed some smokers while entering a poker room and heard the word twice in the time it took me to open the door and go inside. Aside from that, it had been months since I last heard it.
Bumping you up
Correction to an earlier post, unless you count confederate flags, I see them fairly often, especially when I am in the south.
I hear it still a lot in rural midwest
Lol.
Sure buddy! If rules don’t control you, then why don’t you go to your nearest predominantly black neighborhood and yell the word and see what happens.
Might want to elevate the people, places and establishments you frequent.
There. Is. No. Way.
You’re doing what the kids do on social media, virtue signalling. “Who, me? Ever hear white people being racist? Even though I’m old enough that I was a grownup when public racism was still tolerated? Never heard it once since the late 80s, not even in passing!”
Shenanigans. Total shenanigans.
So, you don’t doubt that the word is still being used with some regularity in places.
Last couple decades, I have heard it in public with different pockets of strangers having conversations, where it is easy to overhear them while walking from one part of an event to another.
Bar, karaoke, casino, party. That’s when I overhear it.
Usually only white people around, which is a function of where I live.
You’d actually be surprised where I hear it. I hear it in places where you would think are “respected”
Do you think black people are somehow the only people capable of violence? If I did want to say it I am under no obligation to do it in a situation where I am outnumbered.
But there’s money in poker rooms, and poker is an excellent mix of strategy and luck, just enough to keep the bad players coming back.
I don’t mind the trade off.
Or that don’t have negative associations, at least.
Well, that reply was bothersome for a couple of reasons.
Well, think along the lines of fire, police, and city organizations. Ive heard it a lot and via 2nd hand in small towns
I stopped going to bars, except for the occasional hotel bar or places that have tables and serve food, a long time ago. And yeah, I don’t doubt it is still used in some places by some people, just not in the places I tend to be or by people I voluntarily associate with. No doubt I could go to a redneck bar close by and hear it fairly quickly. Plus my hearing isn’t what it used to be either, so not picking up a lot of other peoples conversations, have to ask the wife to repeat herself from across the room quite a bit.
I suppose if you took the advice of Zantax, you should move away from that place.
I have little doubt that some folks still use the word as a last ditch rebellion against PC tyranny.
Makes sense. The more one socializes with a variety of strangers under a variety of circumstances, the more one is likely to hear it.
Why? He was trying to say I am following some rule imposed by the threat of violence by black people, all I did was point out, correctly, that black people weren’t the only people capable of violence and that if I did want to say it, which I don’t, that would not necessarily deter me. He wanted to try intimidate me with the threat of violence, it didn’t work.
Intimidate you from doing what?
