Recently I saw a video of a trio of black girls picking on a white girl for being white in the subway. The victim quietly took it until the subway got to her stop and she left the car leaving the three black girls behind.
As the subway doors closed she threw in a parting shot and shouted "Ni&&ers!" and I got to watch a screeching meltdown of outrage. Her timing was perfect. She couldn't be followed.
I'll admit. I laughed. The meltdown was hilarious.
As a casual observer I have noticed that for the most part, the people in the black community that screech the loudest over the dreaded N-word are the least successful part of the community. That's because the successful part of the community are far more emotionally mature. They're too busy being productive to bother with something as petty as a racial slur.
I got to watch Hakeem Jeffries get all worked up over the sombrero Trump put on his head. He acted like a little kid. So did Tim Walz when he got called a retard. Both of these idiots are emotionally immature. Neither of them should be in a position of any responsibility.
On the other hand when someone made a meme showing JD Vance as a wolfman he embraced it and used it as his Halloween costume. It died off rapidly. I'm sure the left was sadly disappointed.
Recently I read a rant of sorts from a black woman that was horribly offended because someone six days older than dirt used the term 'colored', a term I heard used commonly in my younger years that faded out rapidly in the late 60s and early 70s. It was replaced by the term 'Black'. Black is still used although Afro-American appears to be newer and improved.
I don't use Afro-American because it's unwieldy and besides, my attitude is pick one. You're either an African or an American. I don't use the term 'colored' because it is dated but as dated as it is, it is still a respectful term. I would imagine that the people that occasionally still use the term are the handful of the WW2/Korea generation that didn't get the news the term was obsolete.
Come to think about it I seldom identify people by color. I'm usually saying something like "He's the guy in the blue shirt." Of course if they are all wearing blue shirts I might identify someone as the black brown or Asian guy. It's a matter of convenience. Sometimes I refer to Indians as dot or feather to distinguish the difference between people from India and Native Americans. Most 'dot' Indians I've met simply look at it as an identifier. Even it they see it as a slur most are too busy doing something constructive to bother getting worked up.
Years ago in Canada I heard the term 'East Indian' used as a designator people with roots from India.
(It's interesting to note I have not seen anyone wearing a prayer dot in a long time. Still, most people understand the reference)
One of the things I have not figured out yet is why so many blacks are triggered by the dreaded N-word. Of course the successful part of the black community has better things to worry about because they are too busy taking care of families and business, but a large portion of them go completely wild if they hear it. They immediately want to burn down half of the city, generally the half they live in.
Why? It makes no sense to me because just about everybody in the entire country has a racial slur associated with their race, religion, nationality of origin.
Hebe, wop, spic, dago, mick, harp, kike, mackerel snapper, frog, limey, flip, you name it. The list is pretty much endless. Most people pretty much ignore being called a slur name. They simply figure the slur user is an idiot. (For the most part, the Irish tend to be self effacing and sometimes use the slur 'mick' to refer to themselves. Sometimes I do.)
Come to think of it, I have not heard these slurs used in quite a while now. Why? Because they seem to have lost all real meaning because everyone ignores them.
It seems to me like the black community are to the most part the only part of this country that get triggered by a simple slur.
Why? Partly because many blacks use it so they can claim 'victim status'. Oh, poor me. Someone called me the dreaded N-word."
So what? You got called a mean name. So what? Cry me a river, call a highly trained crack team of combat engineers to build a bridge across said river and GET OVER IT. Someone called you a mean name. Big deal.
By continuing to over react you are giving power to everyone and their cousin to insult and abuse you. The best way the black community can take the power from everyone that uses it against them is to simply ignore it.
The reason the slur the slur has lasted this long is because it gets a rise out of a large part of the community.
Ever watch a little kid get picked on in a schoolyard? It's the same damned thing.
Ever watch a kid in the same schoolyard ignore their tormentors? What happens when kid being picked on ignores his tormentors? Simple. The tormentors go looking for someone else and the prospective victim gets left alone. He doesn't give his tormentors the chance to berate him.
As for the woman that got upset with the word 'colored', there's finding trouble and looking for trouble. While he man called you a very dated term, it was by no means disrespectful whatsoever. He treated you with courtesy and respect. Stop looking for trouble where there isn't any. You can find enough without even looking.
To the portion of the black community that is foolish enough to be triggered by a simple slur all I have to say is grow up. Most of us are tired listening to you moan, wail and gnash your teeth over nothing.
Of course there is also a side of me that enjoys watching people have meltdowns over absolutely nothing. It's really rather entertaining watchs grownups carry on like little kids.
