Most of the niggers I know are not black.Yeah, so a minor problem with that - is that where I come from, the word is used to denote the former, regardless of the latter. Something tells me that it's not the combination of the letters that's pushing the buttons - because my regrettably confederatized comrades would probably be just as comfortable using your replacement phrase - and those to whom they would be referring would likely be uncomfortable with the same - for the precisely the same reasons as before (with the original phrase).
I say let's replace nigger with this two word replacement phrase... ignorant shitsack, which more clearly represents those most often referred to as the former.
You know what I think people mean when they use descriptors like that? Exactly what they say.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
