Racial and sexual slurs...

I feel that it is time for special interest groups to get over it and stop the overreacting and agrandizing every time someone makes a comment that is in any way objectionable. Anything one says could be taken in many ways and interpreted to ones own purpose. In or out of context, it's time to stop pointing out every single verbal transgression made in public. Take Michael Richards and the use of the N word...So what? he didnt say it to me, did he? No. So I dont think I should be offended or even care. I dont know what really happened, do you? Were you there? I'm glad he said it, now we know his views. Did the guy heckling him while he was trying to perform, deserve to be called that? Maybe, maybe not. Do his friends call him that? What about the Gay/Lesbian faction crying foul everytime someone says something. What is a faggot? A burning ember according to the dictionary. Some overly effeminate males are refferred to as being flamboyant, thus the comparrison to flame. Many gays I know both male and female call each other fag or faggot among other even more denegrating terms. Why is the double standard applied to so many aspects of our culture? Some Asians refer to themselves and their friends as FOB's, an acromyn for Fresh Off the Boat, similar to the Italians who immigrated to America, who were referred to as WOP's (With Out Papers). Many Italians came here as refugees who hastily escaped Fascist Italy in the early stages of WWII, thus they didnt have adequate identification and such. In this period of super political -correctness, I see how many people tiptoe around saying things outright. We cant say someone is crippled anymore. We are supposed to say disabled-oops, I sorry, I mean differently abled, BULLSHIT! Handicapped? Or Handi Capable! Look making an observation and calling a spade a spade isnt wrong. If the person in question is legless, they ARE crippled. That doesnt mean worthless, or diminished in other abilities in any way.
I have black friends, many black friends. some are my nigga's some are just my black friends...If I slip up and call one of my black friends, Nigga, they dont get all bent out of shape and tell the newspapers, or call all of our other friends and complain and try to garner support in their cause to censure me. And I dont really think its how its meant or how it comes across...Take the Grey's Anatomy thing, that black guy called the guy white guy a fag, or something close to that. If he had called him a gay so and so, there would have been no problem. Everyone knows that guy is gay anyway, he came out the closet before IW "exposed" him, so since what the IW said was true, wheres the big transgression? What if the gay guy called him a N____r in response? What then? What the N word has come to mean in general society is a Black person. Just as spic means any Hispanic, gook any Asian, there are others, I'm sure you know a few. The point is, these are just words, they have no inherent meaning on their own. if we stop giving them importance, they will lose their meaning. I personally dont use those terms, except nigga from time to time, but I have many types of nigga's. I have my Wigga's. white friends who are cool and down with it, Migga's, Mexican freinds who realize how utterly STUPID I find all of this bullshit that perpetuates our segregation, I have Chigga's, friends of the Chinese persuasion...the list goes on and on...And NO I dont getr into fights or punched in the mouth when I do this, My Nigga's KNOW where Im coming from...I took the real racist bullshit from more ignorant people than you could imagine, just because I am not Black OR White, but BOTH!

p.s. People used to get beat up for calling me shit like that, then I chose to ignore the stupid bastards who just carried on the shit their parents taught them...
