[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"People like me? I am a fucking white person who grew up in abject poverty in an abusive home and I managed to claw my way out of the gutter. I don't claim victimhood. I am a survivor and yet every fucking day I have to hear about my goddamn privilege from people who don't have a damn clue about what it means to go to bed hungry or wear shoes with holes or have no winter coat. So yeah, I am getting pretty fed up with middle and upper class blacks claiming victim hood. Get a fucking grip. Most people have struggles in life. I was never a racists until I started frequenting this board had had to hear about my privilege over and over and over again. People need to get a clue."

Your language indicts that you haven't completed your ascent out of the gutter. Work on it. Good luck.

NP here.

I have found that it is stupid people--and particularly stupid and immoral people--who mistake "refraining from cursing" with some misguided sense of "classiness". You appear to be one of those fucking people.[/quote]

Another NP here. I don't care which side either of you is on. Cursing is most definitely [b]not[/b] a sign of "sophistication." Smart, well-educated people have the wit and the vocabulary to demolish someone without resorting to the generic, unenlightening, hair-flip of "you're a fucking idiot".  I'm sick of DCUMers cursing and then insisting this makes them so, so sophisticated. Nope, you sound like you have a teensy, tiny vocabulary and no imagination.

In fact, it seems worth derailing this horrible, hostile, racist discussion for a general discussion of the value of cursing. What say the rest of you?

That is all. [/quote]
