Racist 'Wigger Day' (Discretion Advised)

[Accountable]

It's definitely racist. It's allowing students to imitate/make fun of a different races way of expressing themselves/dressing. Sure some people dress like that all the time, but this definitely doesn't sound like that's the case. They did it for a rise and they got it.

If this is racist then geek week and 80's Day is racist as well. I swear we try to find racism in anything we can.

Reminded, once again, why I only venture into this area by accident...LOL *unsubscribe*

I have never heard of "wigging"...honestly.

If its considered racist...is that "White Chicks" movie also racist?

 

[All Else Failed]

No, it's not...that word is wrong no matter when it's said or why it's said and you won't hear it come out of my mouth.

no tip toeing around it only gives it more mystery and power


If we're going to discuss the word nigger we can do it in an adult manner

It's been around for years... First with the afros of the 60s-70s, then with the onslaught of the Beastie Boys in the 80s, who themselves first thought they had to dress a certain way for their music to be accepted...

I'm talking about its current form.

Also if any money is awarded off of this the court system would be absolutely freaking ridiculous. The court needs to order the staff/students to do community service and also take some diversity courses. There's no reason for this to turn into a money matter...BUT it is America, so that's probably what it will turn in to.

would you be calling out racism if blacks dressed up as hillbillies for whatever reason



and diversity courses? Give me a break.

You have quite ze potty mouth, Reich Fuhrer.

Oh please, yeah lets be children and pretend a word doesn't exist.


You can say nigger in a adult conversation.

Clearly not, because it was aimed at white people. Apparently it is okay to insult white people.

 

[Dana]

I think this debate is clearly unfair... Because we have how many black people on this site?

Calm down, bub. I'm just busting your chops.

You can say it all you want. I won't be getting my ass jumped by a group of black guys for saying it though. Some people don't agree that using that word in an adult conversation is acceptable, namely the aforementioned.

Why would i say it around a group of black men on the street?



I've actually had conversations with black people discussing the word nigger and they were totally fine with it.

I guess it's true: words mean whatever the fuck we want them to mean and can change with the wind. Now black people can be racist against black people without actually thinking of themselves as inferior. Go figger.


Well maybe you can explain it to the old guy in the pilot helmet.

Because it's painting a race in one particular manner; by modern standards, I think that is mildly racist. But I refer you to my earlier example of 'White day', that would also be mildly racist, but it'd still be funny to me.

Let's face it, as long as people can distinguish the humour in such events, there will be no harm done. Imagine if comedy wasn't allowed to make use of some racist or sexist overtones - there'd be a lot of out of work comedians!

Is it possible the term has different meanings...depending on where you live and how it's used ?

Should the term be changed in a acceptable way,in other words dropped the "igger" ?
Is the "igger" the real problem ?
So what is appropriate ?

Well, It's not used at all where I live, I only heard it when I was in London so I really don't know, the person who told me what it meant might not have actually known! tbh, there wouldn't be alot of black people over here and from what I've seen most of the black people here are actually directly from Nigeria and places like that as opposed to the states or England where they're British and American, to me that seems to be when that whole "gangsta" type image comes about............correct me if I'm wrong?

Go read up on diversity and then ask that.
I don't think everything is racist, but when it comes down to one race taking a form of attack on another that leads me to aim in the racist way.


Wigger (sometimes spelled whigger) is a pejorative slang term for a white person who emulates mannerisms, language, and fashions associated with African-American culture, particularly hip hop in the United States or the Grime/Garage scene in Britain.[1] The term is a portmanteau of either wannabe or white and nigger. The term is considered derogatory, reflecting stereotypes of African-American or Black British culture, and can be used pejoratively, because of its connotations of cultural appropriation. It is also often used in a racist manner, not only belittling the person perceived as acting black, but also demeaning black people and culture by proxy. Some, however, use the term neutrally, or as a light joke, without any racism intended.

If the school thought they would get away with this unscathed then I feel sorry for the students being taught there.

 

[Accountable]

You guys are fucking hopeless.

Oops. President Obama is known for using the word "hope", and he's black - oops, African American - and therefore using the negative of the term is clearly meant to be a derogatory shot at him personally, and by extension at all bl... African Americans generally, therefore RACIST!!

I'm going to rehab.

That is quite possibly the lamest argument I've heard...but, then again, I don't normally venture into this area of the forum. Oh wait, that's right...I keep hearing people talk about how this country has gone to shit since that stupid hope got into the White House. *rolls eyes*

Shit...I gotta unsubscribe again. Damn curiosity!!!

Yes, of course. Right, Pete?

Guys you're misusing the word "racist".

 

[Accountable]

Maybe they mean to say "race-ish".

 

[Darrell]

I've actually had conversations with black people discussing the word nigger and they were totally fine with it.

If you feel so strong about saying it, why not say it to those guys? Are you afraid that they won't agree that it is okay for you to say it?

You're clearly not grasping the fact that I said it is okay to say in an adult, serious discussion. I never said it was okay to just throw around.
