Can I just say, and I'm just being honest...

The USA, the place where the use of specific words automatically categorizes you. Ahhh...

It depends on where you put the emphasis when saying jesus.

[Joods]

And the more you single them out, the more insulting and offensive the words become.

I'm just going to say in reference to the video (above) that for as much of a good intention as this story may be, the host introducing the segment had no problems holding up cards with the words "cracker" and "honky" on them and  saying those words, but then went on to say there were other words in which he would not say. Cracker and honky are words clearly used to define white people. So why then, was it acceptable for that host, who is black, to say those words, but he would not mention any other words to describe any one else of a race that wasn't white? I got over 2 minutes into that before stopping to write this. I did not watch the other two videos you posted, but I just wanted to point this out because anyone here knows that had that host been white and used the n word, there would have been an uproar and a calling for his firing. But because he's black and he prefaced the news story with a caution for parents of younger kids, by saying cracker and honky, he gets a free pass. 

ANY word negatively calling out someone based on that person's race, is wrong. Period. Just because these words were used as part of a story talking about the impact these words have on people, doesn't justify the host using the ones not pertaining to his own race, while refusing to use the ones that do.

Context is important. There’s a big difference between saying “I don’t think the word nigger should be so taboo” and saying “those damn niggers who run the gas station”. When it’s the second, then yes, it automatically categorizes you.

Especially when they are talking about the "whites only" station.

Me: Ok. How are we doing?
OH (Other Half): Loseing ate ass - Losing our ass.
Me: Well then. I have a bad headache starting.
OH: There are only 3 of use and we have to for fit are lazy ach - There are only 3 of us and we have to forfeit our last match
Me: Can you proofread your texts before you send them? My head hurts enough already without me having to decipher what you write lol.

CIJS, sometimes I come up with stuff I think is quite funny or witty and I don't get even one kudos.
You only have to hit one lousy button to make me feel better you stingy bastards. :-)

Not you Ignoramus, you almost always got my back, bro.

Some day, when you find love and she’s everything you ever dreamed of, when you hold her hand and feel like you can’t breathe...
When you stop yourself for a second and look into her face, and she looks back at you and her smile says she’s quite impressed...

You remember me for a second. Just for a moment. You remember me and know that no matter what she sees, nobody will ever see you like I did when you didn’t even know I was looking. I’m confident of this. There is no way.

Carry on.
