[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black Man here.  I don't give a shit what Paula Deen or anyone else says.  I'm sure that if ALL of us (black, white, etc.) were held under oath and asked if we ever made a racial/ethnic/sexist slur, we'd all have to say "yes, I have".  I also don't consider anyone a racist just because they used the "N" word.  I usually start by considering them ignorant.  I'd have to dig a little deeper into their background before branding them with the "racist" tag.

Speak for yourself.  White woman here and I have never knowingly used any language that you suggest.  I have (regularly) been subjected to derogatory language because of my race just walking around DC.  I've heard it said that black people are always aware of their race, while white people never consider it.  Well, living in a predominantly black neighborhood in DC I am[i] always [/i]aware of my race, from the neighbors who identify my house as "the white people's house" to the guys on the street who call me a "white bitch" when I don't give them money.  most of the people in my neighborhood are wonderful neighbors, but many point out my race in general conversation and it's not unusual for the folks who hang out drinking and panhandling to get abusive toward me because I'm white.  (perhaps they also get abusive toward my black neighbors who don't give them money but they don't call out "hey white girl" or call them a "flat assed bitch" when they don't hand over cash).[/quote]
How is "flat-assed bitch" racist?
It's more like Ass-ist.[/quote]
