I dunno. My best mates can and do call me names that would earn a stranger a smack in the teeth if they said it to my face. Is that any different?

Yes there is the difference: we are talking about racial slur, and not just any offensive word.

I include racial slurs in the list of names my mates can call me.

Umm... is it only black people who can be subject to racial slurs?

Yes, I got that. I was just pointing out, evidently too obliquely for you, that the rules of etiquette and social interaction are inevitably different between members of the same social group than between members of different social groups.

I have placed this in Putin topic: somehow, it came down to this over there:

"I'll tell you more: I hate those blacks who rob and kill innocent people; who pimp white girls, and cut them to pieces when they disobey their orders; all those gangs; drive-by shootings; their stupid rap; and just simply dumb look on their ugly faces! Here..."

I, of course, agree, like usual, with Scotcher, who is usually the most sane person among us, being the insane. I like commas too. My buddies call me names like homo (although I am straight), Swede (being Norwegian, that is an insult ), Norwegian bastard, etc. These kind of things I accept from my friends, but from strangers or people I don't know too well, it would go very bad.

Yes, but here is the truth! The word "n!gger" was not even considered offensive until some "activist" types decided that "whitey" couldn't use it anymore, a few decades ago, in America that is. In Australia it was a perfectly acceptable word until after I arrived in the USA.
Now, it has changed in Australia too.
On my trip back to Australia last year, I found that they had changed the name of my favourite brand of Licorice sticks to something more current and politically correct.

Yes, but the word n!gger was used in America as a very mean slur. It wasn't said in the form of the following conversation:

- Good day, how do you, my good n!gger?
- Fine thanks, Mr. Wicklepick
- Well, I better be off. See you later, my friend! Say hello to your good n!gger friend, Mr. Brown!

But rather like:
- These dirty n!ggers are everywhere
- I tell ya, I don't want no n!gger near my family. I'd kill the n!gger right then and there

It's Americans' own fault that the word became taboo, because they overused it as a mean racial slur. The word itself is fine, but it has too much negative connections with it these days.

Isn't it enough to just state that you hate people who commits those acts, or that you hate the acts themselves? Are there no white, hispanic, or asian people involved in robbery, murder, prostitution, etc?

Do you think it is worse when it's blacks doing it, or do you just like to associate those acts exclusively with black people for some reason of your own?

I was not aware of any of that. I have never seen the word used that way. It must have happened before I came to USA. I know plenty of people who still use the word but it is just used just as one would use any word to describe any nationality. I even know quite a few American Indians who use the word and I know they mean no offence.

Hey, JDKman! Since you are back, why don't you tell this racist how your teaching gig went in Russia? It doesn't look like this topic is going anywhere further.

Man, what the hell are you talking about? Imagine a situation, like you're inviting some friends to your house, they come and there's a stranger behind their backs. You didn't invite him, you don't want him to be at your place, but he stays, smokes your zigarettes, drinks your vodka, beats up your tamed bear, puts on your ear-flapped hat. What'd you do? I bet you would deliver him a beautiful kick and force him out. Wouldn't you? Or would you knee before him asking if he wants your wife/gf, offer him your bed, your fridge and your tree JUST because he's an unwanted guest? Ridiculous.

So if you're not seeking troubles, keep away from where you're UNWELCOMED. Noone forces you to come, noone forces you to stay. If you want to -- the borders are open, but don't expect anything positive about YOU and YOUR staying. And unless you cause troubles, noone's going to butcher you, except for some "gopnicks" who don't make any distinction between natives and foreigners.

In advance... I treat blacks and arabs very WELL unless they bother me like someone with your attitude, yapping about their f@cked up rights and lousy privilegies.

Мы уважаем все демократические ценности и страна наша являет собой образец политкорректности. И нам непонятна истерия развязанная недружественными нам государствами.
- Спасибо, господин президент, за разъяснение вашей позиции.

Exactly. I couldn't have put it any better.

Ok, so for one thing, what are skin heads? I am not from Russia, and I didnt take the time to read all 8 pages of this post, so if someone explaided it I missed it... Sorry, but it would be much appreciated for an educational time for me!

Ok so, as I made my subject: Story Time: here it is...

I live in the USA, and I went to Mobil Alabama, to help out a family down there. Well this family lived in a one room shack in the ghetto, and I was sure that the roof would cave in at any given point of time. Well this family had 7 children, a widdowed aunt and her 4 children, and the grand parents, all living in one room, with an out house for the bathroom. They had to go to a local shower once a week to bathe. Well I went to church one day with the family (I am not religious, but I went anyway), and the family forgot the family bible, which was very important to them. Well the youngest daughter who was 5 and I went to walk back to the home to get it. On the way there, a little black car drove by. Mimi (the child) told me that it would be best if we walked faster, she didnt want any trouble. Well me being 14 at the time was niieve and had no idea what she could be talking about and I said we would be fine. Lo and Behold the car turned around, and as soon as they reached us I was shot at. I jumped into the ditch and grabbed Mimi to cover her up. The man walked out of the car, and told me to get up. I did as he told me, for he had a gun, I would not dare to disobey. I put the gun and I will never remember what he told me: "You better get your f***ing white a** out of here before I shoot you." Calmly I grabbed Mimi, and walked back to her home, which was two houses down the road. We stayed there until her mother came home from chuch. Needless to say, there is alot of Racism in the states still.
