I thought your god was keeping you safe

[Athene]

I've never actually requested an n-word ban and I've seen it tossed around here plenty in the past. 

However, I have and will continue to express my distaste for it and utilize the term in such a way that sometimes makes the "N**GER" enthusiasts feel quite bothered and annoyed. 
That's because they don't only want exercise the freedom to use racist slurs as they please; They also expect those who take issue with it to relinquish their own freedom to speak in terms of criticism and negative responses, that it never be suggested that they might be racist/bigoted/hateful or inconsiderate, that they should be the ones to tell you exactly how you're supposed to feel about it, AND that you should help them re-affirm the belief that they're totally awesome people to boot. 

Sometimes they even have gall to demand that you actually owe them an explanation and/or apology, as these are invariably the types of assholes who are always deeply offended at the idea of folks being offended...Lol. 

Anyhow, I say no to ALL of that twisted bullshit.

Folks aren't obligated to consider N**GERS and their N**GER feelings, and I'm sure as fuck not obligated to make anyone feel good as they're getting out their N**GER jollies.
It is what it is.

Really? The ones who are born into it and become the zealots and evangelists evangelists that come on atheist forums trying to save atheists are most often the problem.

??????   .... I particulary stated evangelist in my original post .... 

As to the above, it is either a fantastic point that sailed right over my head or it has nothing to do with what I have posted 

Sorry if I swooshed you.

Whatever.  Insults that are aimed at a specific class aren't the same as insults that aren't.  But you do you.

I will.

I love it when people forget that the Jews are a race of people.

Not wanting to come across the wrong way.

I'm pretty sure one can marry into the societal group that calls themselves that.

Just as one could simply be a part of said belief grup and... stop believing in said version of a diety and leave said group.

Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding the way you're using the word 'Race'.

I see many of the same or similar comments about people who should not disparage the 'Muslem race'.

They believe they conflate a belief system with... well... posibly what it is to be just another hominid among many?

Cheers.

Not at work.

Let me rephrase. Jewish is an ethnicity. You can be Jewish and not be a practicing religious Jew. There's a reason why there are physical stereotypes associated with Judaism. They look alike because they are ethnically the same. Sure, you can convert and become a religious Jew, but no amount of god will get you that signature Jewy look.

There is no Muslim race.

Poor letter N. So misunderstood.

Where's your empathy, Kit?


Oh wait, I think I found it. Where in hell has this thing been?

What really gets me is that if racists really want to be smart, they can simply claim to be using the Spanish word for the color black. Which I have seen on bags of olives in retail.

Wow. I’m super drunk, and I want to say something horrible. But, I won’t, because it would get me demoted.
