[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard D.C. being called Chocolate City by AA or someone who is not AA saying something in a light hearted manner using the term 'chocolate'. Usually the reference is sexual though. Ex: " He is a good looking chocolate man".[/quote] I heard a black guy at the grocery store say to his friend, "What's up my [n-word]!?!" But when I said this to Pete from accounting (who happens to be black) he punched me in the nose. What's up with that?[/quote] [b]that is a stupid double standard. either the word is offensive or it is not.[/b] Chocolate is not offensive. silly though.[/quote] Stop whining. Language is all about context. What is signified varies by who the transmitter, and who the receiver is. If your brother tells you to "stop being a dick", it's different than if a subordinate at work tells you to stop being one. Let's stop pretending that non-black folk who don't get to use the n-word are being unfairly treated. It's been about a generation since we've had legal apartheid in this county, so it's offensive and the height of douchebaggery to kvetch about this. [/quote]
