Old enough to know how genetics and evolution work. Old enough not to dispute accepted scientific fact or dismiss it as a "stupid comment", and wise enough to recognize the difference.
Who cares about the genetic diversity in Africa? You're here trying to push the point that they're the most diverse, and I'm just stating that they're sitting on the dirt, using bowls made of dung and eating bugs. I still believe that you're an idiot, regardless of the amount of genetic diversity in Africa.
No double standard. I have explained this many times. The word is derogatory and its meaning its based in a racial demeaning term. The word has been desensitized through its use, but its meaning is still the same. When a black person uses the word typically its use is not to attack a person racially. Now if a white person uses that word typically its in anger and meant to hurt a person using racial slurs. Some call that a double standard but here is an example that can clear that up.
Take any person who you have personal relationship with and you refer to them as a b!tch or motherfvcker. Because you share some type of bond with that person usually those words will many times will not be taken to heart. But now if I a total stranger walked up to that same person who I just saw you talk to like that and said the same things, what do you think will be the response? As a black person I share a bond with every other black person whether I like them or not. We all share bonds with folks who experience the same things we do. And because of those bonds the language we use while interacting with those like us will be different.
I have jokingly referred to my wife as a hoe or a byatch. Now I can say that, but let another mf'er say it and I know about it, his his @ss will be kicked. Truthfully when ever I hear a white person ask why can't I say the n word. I always say, you can, but if you get your butt stomped don't come crying. And typically when a white person says they want to say it, usually they just want an excuse, so they bring up the same old tired arguement like this thread. You can say what you want, its a free country. And a trip to the dentist is free too. Free indeed
Alistar, you said "The most pure gene pool left is most likely found on the continent of Africa. That means more variables and possibilities, the greatest potential of human evolution. Americans are truly the mutts of the world, with the most common and limited genetic potential."
How would America be less diverse if we're the melting pot of the world? We have Africans here, we have Asians here, we have Europeans here, we have South Americans here, etc. We probably have people here from every diverse group in Africa in addition to the people from other lands. And you're saying that we have the most limited potential? Here, the opportunity exists for various traits to compete and see which serves us best.

Learn how genetics and evolution work, then you will understand, it will be crystal clear.

The genetic diversity of populations was found to be greatest in Africa and least in the Americas.
Cliff notes on how both subjects correlate: Greater genetic diversity = greater evolutionary potential.

And when someone does decide to say it and you step up and get your ass beat down, you go crying that it was a racially motivated beating.
I don't know about you, but I occasionally will fight someone just for the sport of it. If I think I can win and see that they're foolishly willing to go, I'll absolutely pummel them.
This is not to say that I go around calling people n's or trying to act gangsta, since that's not me. But I will soften someone up if I encounter a wannabe tough guy.
I used to work as a cashier and a man in a wheelchair complained about the aisle to the register not being wide enough for his chair. I told him we had handicap accessible registers and pointed where they were. He got all red in the face and said DISABLED, NOT HANDICAPPED!! He got super pissed and left. I was shocked. Despite your best intentions someone will always be offended. I suppose that is their choice.
With regard to the N word I think there is definitely a double standard and it's not going away any time soon because nobody, blacks or whites, will let it die.
I'm not saying that we all blend into a gray smudge. I'm saying that we have the Africans that you mentioned before IN ADDITION to Europeans, Asians, etc.
If you're too dumb to understand, visualize this. Take Africa, that ultra-diverse place you mentioned, and add more people of different nationalities. Dump some Europeans there. Dump some Asians there. Dump some South Americans there. Now you'll have the original diversity that previously existed IN ADDITION to some more diverse groups.

First off I have as yet been around anyone who has said it. And if I was standing in front of you, you probably wouldn't say it either. And talk about wanna be tough guys, lol, look at you. You like to fight for the sport of it? What a joke. Clearly you might pull that sh!t around some weak people you hang around, but trust me, the circles I hung in before getting married, you wouldn't even think about going out like that. When someone talks like that, I know right there, they haven't been in no real tussles and they ain't seen no real blood. Even some of the hardest cats I knew didn't like to rumble for fun. But hey I give you props for the beastily post, it looks good.................on a computer screen
.I agree that words are cheap. But I'm always willing to back it up. Unlike half of the posers in here, I actually posted a picture of what I look like so you can at least see that I'm not a 21 year old 150 lb twig.
It was never a question of my intelligence, I understand this quite well. We came OUT of Africa, simply reinserting these now limited genetic offerings back into the pool would not create more diversity, it would reduce it overall.
According to your personal theory America, as the melting pot of the world, would have much more diversity than Africa. Why has science proven the exact opposite? Africa has the highest, America the lowest. The "melting pot process", this is important BTW pay attention, reduces diversity. You will find more genetic diversity in a small, isolated African community than you will in all of NYC combined.
If you're too dumb to understand how evolution works, visualize me saying "I am sorry". Easiest explanation is you actually have the process in relation to genetic diversity 100% backwards. Don't be ashamed, it is the most common misinterpretation.
Again: The N word means whatever is convenient to black people for it to mean. If you're a white guy, it's a horrible ethnic slur and deserves instant physical retaliation. If you're a black person, it's a non-threatening colloquialism. Is that ridiculous? Of course. Have guilty white progressives and radical black people who see racism in the most innocuous things let it get to this point, and it's useless to attempt to fight it at this point? Again, of course.
Seriously, accept this. You will all sleep better.

Almost no one understands racism it seems to me. Yes it is a racist term when used by whites. No it is not a racist term when used by blacks, though it may still be considered degradding or 'low'. The term Redneck or 'white trash' or cracker or many other racial terms used for whites are technically racist but whites haven't faced hundreds of years of racial oppression at the hands of other races so the term does have much force behind it. Also redneck tends to be more of a social and financial statement than one of race. Racism gains it's power through history if people can't accept that they don't know what racism is.

You're probably right, because it's disrespectful and I'm not going to disrespect someone for no reason.

Obviously if Kimbo or Bob Sapp was standing in front of me I'd be all about peace and diplomacy. Those guys rumble for fun on a whole different level. But as far as the normal people I see on a daily basis? Yeah, I'll pound them.

Because rednecks don't own computers?
The N word is a word associated with hatred and oppression against black people going back hundreds of years in this country. Just because some gang banging crack head rappers use the term doesn't make it cool or acceptable, I don't care what color your skin is.
Redneck is a term that educated white people use to describe their one toothed, beer swillin', sister weddin', mouth breathin', nascar watchin' brethren.
I'm comfortable with this. Seriously, who gives a fuck if rednecks are offended...hell, would they even realize it? :laugh:
