[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I'm white.  What is it about white folks getting all angry that they can't say "chocolate" or use the "n-word" just because they heard Chris Rock use it in a show?  Can't some of you PPs get it through your head that whites used all kinds of pejorative, racist, baseless terms to describe blacks over the years and that some folks may, understandably, be sensitive to language and its usage?  What is the BFD in saying AA instead of chocolate?  Are you really all so frigging clueless?  What is this whining about "well, if the mayor said it, well, so can I!"  Whatever.  Are you all really so juvenile?  Is this how you raise your children?

That's not really the argument here.  The discussion is whether or not the term 'chocolate' is actually offensive.  Why do you consider 'chocolate' a 'pejorative/racist' term?

To assume the worst about people - that anyone using the term 'chocolate' is automatically a racist is just as obnoxious.[/quote]
