Today's Mother's Day, and I complete forgot. She was asking me to get ready for church. I had been planning to finish my TARDIS reproduction on my graphing calculator which is due tomorrow, which is a **** load of my already not so good grade, and I still had a lot to do. So I told her that I needed to finish it, totally forgetting the fact that it was indeed Mother's Day, and now she seems pissed and was rubbing it in. And I just had this whole fiasco about my calculator shutting off when dropped and worried it was a short circuit.

Thanks mom. Like I didn't feel bad enough already.

I am missing 20 dollars from my wallet, who the hell took my 20 dollars, I don't mind that much but if that person would have asked I would have glady loaned them 20 dollars.
Where the **** are my 20 dollars!

We didn't reach this decision because of our personal viewpoints, we overlooked those and decided what would be best for the forum. None of us wanted to be enforcing the rules in a forum where racial slurs were the norm & tolerated regardless of their intention. We liked to think that the forum was above that and send that message to any new users that joined up.

I don't know what the current mods position on this is but I'd like to think it hadn't changed.

Yes, I figured that. And it makes sense. I only read a tiny fraction of the shit that is said on MB but I'm sure that a zero tolerance policy on racist terms (and it's just an infraction anyway) is really the best and only way to deal with that situation here.

If you're using the word to talk about its cultural effects, like in that book, I think its logical. Who's discussing that here?

You're right. Even if there was some kind of intelligent discussion of the word here on MB - I'm sure we can all predict how that would turn out. I think your previous post was so full of vitriol that it seemed like a knee-jerk reaction to me and my knee jerked back.

Anyway, back to bitching: The most dull and irritating topic of discussion on MB is that of MB itself (which now I'm guilty of engaging).

I've included the no "n word" request in the fix list to be sent this evening.

But I hope this doesn't mean I can't say nigga. There's tons of relevance in that word when making gansta jokes.

I just wonder. If n... coloured (?) people don't like to be called ******s, why do they keep referring to themselves as ******s in rap video's?

"They" are not a monolithic entity with a single mindset.

Oh, yeah.
Their Rappers? :D.

No seriously, why is it allowed in rap?

Probably because it's not a white guy calling a black guy a variation of a slave term.
