    You a hippie or something? I am all for being polite. But this is up there with when fox aired the whole thing of some teenage chick getting offended because people CRITICIZED her video. Was hardly slander.

    There is a point where if something a 5 year old says makes you want to retreat to a corner and cry YOU have some serious issues that are not other peoples problem.

    Now I am going to say I do not promote racism and if that chat was in my server I would of banned their asses. But the thing is when it comes to the internet or real life. I just do not give a crap what color you are, what religion you are or what sex you are. You are just a person to me.

    At the same time. I there is a certain point where if you cannot handle your boss telling you, you did a bad job you need to grow a skin. Part of life. There are assholes out there and if you cannot handle it you need to grow up mentally big time.

    You're using ad-homenims to attack people making completely legitimate points. The OP is getting offended over something for being racist that had literally nothing to do with any (human) races. This is the equivalent to me going to the zoo, calling a chimp a chimp... and then having someone say that I'm racist.

    "Bully". Are you serious? This is the internet, where we are all gifted with the ability of freedom of speech. If you disagree with someone, make a coherent point beyond "I got offended because reasons" and then you'll have a valid argument. Maybe. Just because you think someone's rude doesn't mean that they're wrong. You're getting offended over ~literally nothing at all~ here.

    Again, technically correct.

    But after years of use and it spawning a racial slur, most Blacks do not appreciate being called a negro. if your going around call black people Negro's your a braver man than I and I hope you have a bullet and knife proof vest..

    Oh, so you have the mentality of "since I don't view it as offensive then everyone should think the same". The term cracka doesn't have the same history as the n word.

    I'm white and even know this, sir. If you were an Atheist and burned a Qu'ran in front of a Muslim, should you say "Oh come on, you shouldn't take offensive to this at all! Religion is so 20th century" No, you wouldn't.

    Sorry but no. First I am not condoning it. Second. My retort comes from the fact that I have dealt with shit loads of shit from all kinds of people in real life and on the internet but you know what I learned how to laugh it off or just think of them as idiots to be ignored.

    Also there is such a thing called white privilege. It's nothing new or something tumblr made up.

    So wait, it's okay for you to use the english term for black to describe African Americans but it's not okay for Spanish people to use their term for black?

    That sounds kinda racist man.

    I agree.

    I don't comment much, but I do enjoy topic itself, it's interesting to read and analyze, especially if you can absorb information that you observe without making any judgements towards anyone.

    I like the part where you jumped from calling a monkey a monkey in a video game to book burning
    Those must have been some extensive mental gymnastics

    Don't exaggerate. There's a polite way to criticize things. We should be advocating that people on the internet should be more polite instead of advocating that people get "thicker skin."

    wow
    such assumptions
    much attacks

    white privilege is in the same boat is rape culture in that while it's a real thing fucktarded SJWs have used it as a pointless buzzword for so long most people think of it as just that

    Are you implying black people would react to an offensive word with gunfire and stabbings?

    Newsflash, sunshine, racism isn't something only white people do to others. Whites get flak all the time too. You're not gonna tell me honkey, gringo, gweilo for example is just a white conspiracy?
    FFS, people.

    Because it wasn't that, they made racial slurs of blacks as monkeys, didn't you read his post?
