Why you lockin' my $hit?

[bcoop]

I don't remember that. What was it?

Was in regards to a member named David Finley. His username was blksunshine87 I think. He's a total pussy. He went crying to Chris, Chris deleted my thread in the smack, I called Chris on the bullshit, and he pointed out the mostly unmoderated part of the rules of the Smack. Fucking pussy. Something about when it's one sided bashing, blah blah blah.

This isn't about how much or how little YOU are sensitive to certain subjects. This is about showing some respect to our few fellow members that are of color. We only have ONE fucking rule, don't be a racist. Keep your racist views off of this board and everything else goes. I'm not an ADMIN so I don't get the emails when someone reports a thread where someone is fucking up, but I do my best to at least enforce the ONE rule we have.
If one of your buddies is making a racial slur, edit that shit and send him a PM or text, not hard really. But not doing anything about it is as bad the crime itself.

Where the fuck were you when the board would auto correct the n word to cracker? Seems you didnt give a shit to enforce the rules then....fucking hypocrite.

[Shorty]

I have black friends so I can be racist, right?

I don't get the outrage over this, and I didn't when people were making a big deal about it, either.


I don't intend to make accusations or insinuate, but it would seem to me that only a sensitive racist pansy would be truly upset over this. I thought that was fucking hilarious, personally, and I'm as white as white gets.

I don't think any of the white people I know would be offended by cracker or peckerwood.. But he is just pointing out the obvious double standard.

[line-em-up]

I'm the mod that's not ridiculously over sensitive to it, and starts arguments completely out of the blue because of it. By and large the board manages itself. I'm more of the less government crowd, half the reason this board is popular is because of the wild west mentality. These guys can take care of themselves, only on rare occasions do people need to get banned. You say dumb shit, you get a dumb shit reputation.

Thanks for not trying to make this a PC place. I have often wondered why some people seem to get away with saying whatever they want and other get banned for less.

I guess I just don't see it as a double standard. I'm sure it could just be me, not intending to start shit with anyone.

I was upset when they changed it, because I really thought it was fucking funny.

Can someone explain to me the derogatory content of "peckerwood" to a white person? I've never quite understood it's origin. I always thought it was kind of funny and endearing.

I never even knew it was meant to be a racial thing. I call my 11 year old a peckerwood all the time. lol

Yeah exactly, haha. The first time I heard it being used in a racial manner was in American History X.

A double standard as in you are replacing one "slur" for another. While the vast majority of people would not be offended by the use of the word today, it was still a commonly known as a slur.

I'm not saying I had a problem with it, fwiw, just pointing out the reason.

I have no clue either.. Then again, I don't know the origin of most slurs.

[talisman]

I never knew peckerwood was a racial thing. Shows you how offended white people are over dumb names! And I love calling people that, though I seem to only remember it rarely.

peckerwood

A peckerwood is a rural white southerner, usually poor, undereducated or otherwise ignorant and bigoted, the term gained popularity in the deep south during the early twentieth century and was meant to be derogatory. It is a reversal of the name of the red bellied woodpecker which had a patch of red on the back of it’s head and neck, therefore a peckerwood is a redneck, terms that describe similar groups of people are trailer trash or white trash but neither of those have the same effect or ring to them as peckerwood does.

interesting...

Are you taking it back?
