This is what happens when white people drive thru Oakland

But we know none of the people in the video will be drinking Cristal because Frdric Rouzaud is a racist fuck.

this is where i have to disagree. i don't think "nigger" should ever be used in a serious way. to me, it was a connotation used to perpetuate oppression and hatred to all blacks, not just the "defective" ones. you may intend to verbally harm only the few idiots, but, to me, it spits in the face of an entire race who wore that name like a scar on their back for a long, long time.

and just because "they call each other that", doesn't make it any more acceptable. i don't mind the term being used in jest or whatever. jokes is jokes baby. but when it's used seriously, it kind of offends me (even though i'm white). i guess it's because one of my best friends in the world is black, and someone said this around him, using the "there's black people...and then there's 'niggers'" defense when he got upset. but, to him, it didn't matter. it deeply offended him.

i don't know, maybe i'm too uptight, or maybe the spirit of oprah is strong in me today. but it's just my opinion.

don't get me wrong, i'm not going to lobby against the word, "nigger" and try to inact legislation against anyone using it. or get oprah-fried and try to get it banned from the dictionary. i'm just sayin.

Sorry big lebowski.

I think what he meant to say was "There are black people and there are niggs."

This thread seems to have got fixated on race, probably because of the stupid title that stupid Mikey gave it. (How's your arm Mikey? Nicely scabbed over? Let's hope it doesn't go septic)

The people in the film are subhuman criminals, fucking idiots who have no right to live alongside decent people. Does it matter what race they are? People like this are scum and should be wiped out - white, black or whatever.

And shit like this happens in every big city, even in the UK.

Except in the UK it's more likely to be the white underclass kicking up the trouble. And I'm sure there are towns in the U.S. who have similar problems with white kids.

And moving it back on to race, and also without getting too Oprah, I have to agree with The Big L, it's NOT acceptable to use the word nigger in the way that TicklemyTaint did.

Your in a car why not run them over? I know I would, if its either my car getting fucked up, or them getting fucked up you better believe there gunna be the ones on the ground.

i don't think my major concern would be my car. i think i'd be more concerned with...what's it called? you know, that thing we all have. oh yeah, my life.

Word.

Many don't realize or care about the history of that word, how many people were dehumanized, tortured and died hearing it.

I'm guessing you've never been to oakland.
