You could use the N word in mixed company but you better be a fast runner.

That'd probably be as effective as "out jumping" them :)! No racism here...I played a LOT of b-ball in my youth, and in general, the "brothers" were faster and better jumpers...

History lesson
 

When I was a student back in Chicago,I had a teacher by the name of Fr. Art McGovern.He later went to Nicaragua to join with the Contras and preach and write about what is called "Liberation Theology".He wrote a book called the "Compatibility of Christianity and Marxism". He was censured by the then current Pope and told to desist due to it`s socialist basis. This is the same philosophy of Karl Marx that Wright teaches.He admits to it.I am now supposed to believe that Obama sat for 20 years and never recognized the Marxist bent of his pastor.If he didn`t,then he is naive or worse.If he did,then he is lying about it.Neither is acceptible from a man who wishes to lead us. TFM

Careful, there are people here that will call you racist for that kind of talk.

Those of us that live and work amongst 'N's know one when we see one. It's very clear. And it's got NOTHING to do with color. Could be white, black, indian, asian, eastern european, goombah, italian, you name it.

Lots of people make bad choices, but an 'N' is proud of it. That, i think, is the major difference between an 'N' and a standard dumbass. Could be cletus in the trailer on rented land dropping $6k on a 4 wheeler and $2k on a rifle/scope while his 3 kids from his fat-assed wife don't have decent shoes. Could be Paul loading up a trash bag with food from the bosses fridge so he has more liquor money. Could be Tony putting $10k worth of hooptie wheels on a GM product and doing nothing about retirement funding. Could be Wright putting 'church' funds towards a monstrous house. Could be lifetime section 8 bums never making an effort to get a decent job. Could be the parent defending their kid for selling pot at middle school. Could be the contractor showing up late every day, taking shortcuts but billing for top drawer work. Could be the neighbor lady buying a $700k house w/ an interest only ARM and using an 18% credit card to put a giant plasma tv over the fake fireplace.

N's are everywhere and the lifestyle & choices that make up their culture are eating away at our quality of life.

Yup, and just for the record, as a youth I could outrun and out jump 95% of the people I came up against, no matter what color they were. They have other names for it too, if they are white, they tend to be called pwt(poor white trash).

Blacks tend to have a good ratio of length, tibia:femur, that gives a mechanical advantage for leaping and running. There are a lot of physiological differences among races. Short and squat Inuits(Eskimos) have less surface area to conserve heat, the Masai(think Manute Bol) are tall with dark skin to protect them from the sun and give more surface area for heat dissipation. There are a lot of examples of this

Hey, how did you know I load up a trash bag from my boss's fridge?

I knew a few "excpetions" like you too, but in general, when the game went above the rim, I was a spectator on the court :)

I was not even the fastest white boy in the school. One guy was a total freak of nature. 5'8" and had at least 40" vertical leap and sub 10 second 100. I never had better than a 36" vertical, and could catch him over 200 yards, but from a standing start he was incredible

When I tore my ACL and fractured my tibia, one of my teammates in the city league was a black guy (a very good friend from work, he drove me home). He could easily touch the top of the square, but his overall "game" was on par with mine. I used to kid him about having "no skills", and he'd proceed to ascend to "no white man's land" (at least for this 5'11" white boy), while I remained "earthbound"...I miss those days!

ps: Gravity shattered my boyhood dreams :)

N ... we are still talking "Nancey-boy" here right? --I know, no one likes to use that descriptor. It might hurt someones feelings; and is rather crass.

Nah...Nanceyboys don't have "game" :). I think I recall in another thread long ago that I stated that I HAVE used the word, many times, back when I was a kid (even amongst black friends), but never in a derogatory manner. I grew up with Richard Pryor, "N***** Please" was his trademark "line", and become one of ours too. Several years later, I saw Pryor denounce it's use, and vow to never use it again, and I haven't either since. I'm rarely politically correct, but that one I can go along with.

Extrapolating; by the year 2012, the letter "N" be eliminated from the American alphabet. ...because it's the fair thing to do.

I was wondering how long this would take. Are M & O guilty by association?

A double standard at play here folks?

Worse than that, Obama never sought the endorsement of Rev. Wright and never accepted it either.

Why not a constant media attack on McCain for his preachers John Hagee and Rod Parsley which he stands by?

Several Videos in link:

NO MORE DOUBLE STANDARDS!

Please.

Nice try, but No.
Hagee wasn't McCain's pastor for 20 years. He wasn't McCain's spiritual adviser. He wasn't part of McCain's campaign team. He wasn't McCain's kid's godfather.
McCain never defended Hagee, only to throw him under the bus after it started affecting him in the polls.
Not even close.

Watch the videos about Rev. Rod Parsley and Rev. John Hagee.

John McCain sought and accepted their support.

The guys are as nutty as Rev. Wright in their own way, maybe even more so.

It's not the same, it's worse, far far worse.

Damn right!

Seriously, kach, Wright is a race-divisive 'victim status' advocate. --he has made a fortune feeding this crap, which Obama has been digesting for the past 2 decades.

Nailed it right on the head. N's are proud of below the belt / bottom feeder antics and revel in it- they are proud of lack of ethics or standards.

Got one living with me now, white guy who can't pay rent on time, every time - rather not come home on day I'm gonna ask for it instead of paying it. Not like I'm gonna forget about it. I'm about to eject his ass since I'm sick of hearing how he's buying weed with the rent money, and even sadder, rent's only $400 / MO.

Considering he just has a truck payment and works FT at a decent paying job, where is the money? He smokes it and spends it on stupid things like Guitar Hero, Pepsi, and so on.

OBTW dude is 38. My house note is more than his total debt x3 and he's struggling?
