Yeah... I know what you mean. By the way, I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier. I had thought you were implying something else earlier by the "you people" comment.jsnipy wrote:

Asheville has collapsed from the inside with the mayor allowing anything that is liberal to spawn and spread though out the once fair town and turn into something disgustingTurquoise wrote:

Well, I wouldn't say that. It's just that materialism is seeping into it. Liberalism is not a bad thing in and of itself. I prefer social liberalism -- it's just the liberal economics that bother me.SEREMAKER wrote:

"N" word? We call it "nigger" here.
I don't care if people say it to me/around me. It's not that big of a deal. The Euro-white government blows it completely out of proportion though.
Even black kids at my school don't care if others say it.
EDIT:
Neither do I.

*shrugs* I figured you would have mentioned that big chains are driving out mom and pop stores in Asheville. That's a result of free market economics. If individuals want to start their own businesses that may drive out the locals, that's just capitalism. That's honestly the kind of economics that are typically seen as conservative, and it's why I support them.SEREMAKER wrote:

big chains have nothing to do with the "past downtown market", its stores that were once there but have been driven out with the change of people that the mayor strived to bring into asheville, the big chains affect nothing toward what I'm discussing, the big chains loam on the out skirts of asheville, they [big chains] I have no problem bc they follow the population - Asheville grows bc it has become a safe haven for those types of peopleTurquoise wrote:

I see what you're saying, but I need a little more specifics on what you mean by the disintegration of what you see as the local culture. Like, what has the mayor done to contribute to this in policy?SEREMAKER wrote:

major advertising in San Fran, CA ,,,,, giving city tax exemption or discount on certain types of stores within certain grid squares of asheville, while doing away certain grandfather clauses so the city can shut down some stores bc they can't afford new regualtions set fourth by the cityTurquoise wrote:

On topic, I think that once the word is accepted as just a word, it loses its power. I understand that it's still hurtful for some black people to hear it, so I don't use it, but I think stuff like Chapelle's show making it way more common is a good thing. I really think that show did a lot for race relations, because I feel like it's something we've kinda ignored, but Chapelle got people to talk (and laugh) about racial issues.

Kramer (or whatever his name is) used the word in a malicious way. I'd get pissed too. Yeah, it's amazing that a WORD can get people so flustered, but that's human emotions for you.
Fuck people. All of em because they are stupid. A white person makes a racial joke and that white person is in the wrong. A black person makes a racial joke and they find two more black people to make racial jokes with him then we have the kings of comedy. I say what is on my mind and that should be considered free speach but the same people who have rallies for equality and free speach tell me what is politically correct to say. I think I feel "disenfranchised"
Malloy must go
Micheal Richards just apologized on David Letterman's show.... I thought he was very professional about it.

Shit like that is what keeps white people being racist towards blacks. Im not racist by any means, but when black people insist that I have to move out of their way because they are black, that goes too far. In my opinion they go from being a black person, to being a complete fuck. I know this isnt every black person, and Im not saying that it is. I just think its bull shit that a black person can get away with it. If a white person were to tell a black person they have to move out of their way because they are white, that guy is instantly considered racist and people would raise hell about it. But no one says shit if a black person would do it to a white person, because they feel like if they do, they will be considered racist, and everyone is afraid of that.
I sorta feel the same about Carlos Mencia.Turquoise wrote:
