Prove 'racist terms' aren't actually racist...

[toekramp]

I'll go first

Nappy

Napster - Originally, Napster was the nickname of college student, Shawn Fanning, ostensibly awarded in recognition of his tightly-curled hair. He used it for his Internet Relay Chat (IRC) alias and his email identity, then, as the name for his popular peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing software.

The very WHITE Shawn Fanning

Wigger/malado/maroon?

Maroon, bimaroon, trimaroon, tetramaroon, quintamaroon, hexamaroon, septamaroon, octamaroon, nonamaroon, decamaroon, undecamaroon, dodecamaroon...

Is that racism or just decriptive terms like the term WHITE & BLACK?

Nappy can be racist if used in a negative statement toward black people. Nappy hair is a term usually meaning hair with kinks or 'naps' in it. Black hair that has not been combed or permed will usually show small ball shaped kinks or beady kinks.

I am aware I've lived in a black dominated area for quite a while. I've used the term nappy quite a few times. I can only see it being racist if I were to say nappy headed n1gga.

Welcome to the, "You can't say anything I won't find offensive" society we live in...nice, isn't it???

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

it's all about context. words that otherwise may not be construed as such may become so in context.

 

[Zedtom]

It's all in the ear of the beholder. If you were a black female student athlete at, let's say, Rutgers, and someone said you had nappy hair- you'd think, "you're over the hill with that old fashioned remark."

Now if that person called you a ho- that would get a reaction.

 

[DarkThinker]

Kiss it! Apologize!!

 

[BrokenVisage]

Is Shawn Fanning a ho, too?
