Republican Paul Ryan takes flak from media over selfie with Caucasians

[Guest]

The only people who don't agree with it are lowlifes who get their rocks off punching down.

See what I mean? You can say that about me and I don't care. I just disagree with you.

This is true, but they are nevertheless less offensive than words with negative connotations.

In your opinion.

I don't care what you call anyone. Do you think you should apply that sentiment to all members of any group to which you think I belong?

Honky and N-word do not carry the same baggage.

In your opinion.

So you think that the term 'shit-skin' has the same connotation as 'brown-sugar'?

I know. I never said otherwise.

Less offensive perhaps, but they are both derogatory and so are chocolate and coffee.

I chuckled at 'whiter than mayo'.

We privileged white people can laugh at ourselves.

People of colour can laugh at themselves.

But it's inappropriate to use derogatory terms for others.

Well, in that case I'm not sure why you this earlier:

Seems it's your opinion too.

OK, Ok....I think I get it now. As long as it's a food group, by an underdog AND it has to be less offensive than really offensive. Gee before you know it, I'll be as morally superior as a left winger.

The food would have to be organic...

"Chocolate and coffee" are quite inappropriate.

.

Is the word blackmail still appropriate these days?

Honky and cracker are used against white people. They are racists words being used towards white people. But hey, it's only used against white people so who cares. Use the "N" and the liberals and their media go ballistic, and want that person who used that word put up against the wall and shot.

I remember that picture. Somehow I guessed someone would get upset about it.
