Racial slurs and BGOL-- Which should be banned?

[Costanza]

...
I'm not quite sure as to how Too Short rationalizes Chapman's racist rant. It didn't sound @ all to me like Dog Chapman was joking when he said he's not going to jeopordize everything he's worked 30 years for "because we use the word the ****** sometimes here".
...
Do you think Seinfeld or any Jewish entertainer would defend an individual who used the word **** or hymie to describe Jewish people?

http://www.bgol.us/board/showthread.php?t=208483

Wait, you can't say **** on this board??? WTF?

Ok, why can't you say k(i)ke on this board??

I don't know if this is new or not, but I never was aware that "k-i-k-e" was out of bounds on BGOL. I knew ****** (n-i-g-g-e-r) was and not the thousand "nigga"s posted everyday, but I'm amazed to see this Jewish slur get special treatment.

This is a black board and it is clear why "the N-word" is banned. But if you're going to censor a slur for Jewish people used so rarely that nobody even really notices it being banned, you should ban all racial slurs at that rate. I could've sworn I've seen Dr. Truth use "s-p-i-c" before, exposing himself to be the dumbass that he is, so I think the ban on **** is new.

I post in NFL threads every week and they don't ban the word "Redskin," which is one of the stupidest, most insensitive names in the history of franchises. Isn't it pointless to have a select few banned words? It empowers those few words, mere groups of letters too mighty to be seen together like the way ancient Hebrews used to write G-d, and the list is too woefully short to claim anything close to adequacy.



Start this at the 5:40 point for the relevant point.

Now-- put your unimaginative, played out Colin Powell pictures away, fellas-- I'm going to go ahead and post Wikipedia's list of racial slurs and we can observe how many BGOL deems to be as offensive as "k-i-k-e." It's meant to br browsed; you don't have to read every single line. People can go ahead and add any they feel were left out or worthy of addition.



List of ethnic slurs from Wikipedia

A slur can be anything from an insinuation or critical remark to an insult. The following is a list of ethnic slurs that are, or have been, used as insinuations or allegations about members of a given ethnicity or to refer to them in a derogatory (critical or disrespectful), pejorative (disapproving or contemptuous), or downright insulting manner in the English-speaking world. For the purposes of this list, a slur is a term or word used to insult on the basis of race, ethnicity, or nationality. Each term is listed followed by its country or region of usage, a definition, and (where applicable) a reference to that term.
Quite a few ethnic slurs may be produced by combining a general-purpose insult with the name of ethnicity, such as "dirty Arab", "dirty Jew", "Chinese pig", "Russian pig", etc. Other common insulting modifiers include "dog", "filthy", etc. Such terms are not included in this list.

ABCD
(Subcontinentals in U.S.) "American-Born Confused Desi" used for American-born South Asians who are confused about their cultural identity. Often used by ABCDs about other ABCDs. ABCD is the most common version of the phrase, but there are variations of it that extend all the way to the letter 'z' in at least two different versions: "American Born Confused Desi, Emigrated From Gujarat, House in Jersey, Kids Learning Medicine, Now Owning Property, Quite Reasonable Salary, Two Uncles Visiting, White Xenophobia Yet Zestful" and "American Born Confused Desi, Emigrated From Gujarat, Housed In Jersey, Keeping Lotsa Motels, Named Omkarnath Patel, Quickly Reached Success Through Underhanded Vicious Ways, Xenophobic Yet Zestful"[12]
Abo / Abbo
(AUS) Australian Aboriginal person. Originally, this was simply an informal term for "Aborigine", and was in fact used by Aboriginal people themselves until it started to be considered offensive in 1950s. In remoter areas, Aboriginal people still often refer to themselves (quite neutrally) as "Blackfellas" (and whites as "Whitefellas"). From the 1870s until the 1920s, the word Ab was used instead.[citation needed] Although "Abo" is still considered quite offensive by many, the pejorative "boong" is now more commonly used when the intent is to deliberately offend , as that word's status as an insult is unequivocal.[4]

Afro-Saxon
(North America) A young white male devotee of African-American pop culture.[5]

Ann
A white woman to a black person — or a black woman who acts too much like a white one. While Miss Ann, also just plain Ann, is a derisive reference to the white woman, by extension it is applied to any black woman who puts on airs and tries to act like Miss Ann.[12]

(U.S. Blacks) a black woman who "kisses up" to whites, a "sellout", female counterpart of Uncle Tom.[17]

B
Beaner
(U.S.) term widely regarded as derogatory, that refers to people of Mexican descent or, more broadly, mestizos.[18][19][20] The term originates from the prevalence of frijoles pintos and other beans in Mexican food.[20][21]
According to The Historical Dictionary of American Slang, the word was first seen in print in 1965, although the term has reportedly been in use at least since the 1940s (perhaps having evolved from previous slurs such as "bean-eater" and "bean-bandit" that were in use since as far back as the 1910s.) [18]
Although the word is generally considered pejorative, its usage is not always overtly offensive and can be fairly benign depending on the context (similar to the term "frog" for a French person.) Though perhaps once considered strictly offensive, it appears that the term may be going through a phase of melioration, where the negative connotation of an ethnic slur is "reclaimed" by those it is directed against and used in a neutral or even positive manner. [18]

Boonga / boong / bunga / boonie

The immediate target is denigrated for having the cultural values of a different ethnic group, with the implication that that ethnic group is bad or inferior. Coconut and Oreo are used in the same way.[30]
Brownie
(U.S.) a. a person of mixed white and black ancestry; a mulatto. b. (U.S. black) a young, brown-skinned person 1940s-1950s[31]

Chee-chee
a Eurasian half-caste [probably from Hindi chi-chi fie!, literally, dirt][36]
Chinaman
(Worldwide English) Chinese person, used in old American west when discrimination against Chinese was common.[37] The term generates controversy when still used in geographic places associated or resembling Chinese. Though it is still heard in the lyrics to the 70s song "Kung Fu Fighting", it tends to generate objections in modern times, especially in the US.
Also used in a cricketing context to refer to a particular type of left-arm bowler, the left-arm equivalent of the right-arm Leg Spin bowler. The term is still used in this non-derogatory sense in television and radio coverage.

Guk is from the Chinese word guo, which means kingdom or country. “Hanguk” refers to Korea[27] and “miguk” is the common word for the United States.[28] American troops thought "miguk" sounded like "me gook" (i.e. "I am a gook").

"Gook" was also used by white soldiers in Africa to designate enemy insurgents.[69]

Often combined with an adjective, particularly whingeing pom, a reference to migrants who complained about their adopted country. Often used in a sporting (especially cricket and rugby) context, with liberal use of 'pom' and 'aussie' being used by the media; the term is often seen as unoffensive in this context, and instead as light-hearted banter.

And even that, while I accept it, it really is pointless. Everybody knows what I typed above; replacing a vowel with a star doesn't obscure anything. Carlin has made fun of how newspapers won't print "fuck" but they'll print "F--k" or "f**k" and this is the same thing. The point still gets across. The problem isn't the word or the letters, but the racist or bigoted asshole using them and taking away the word doesn't stop him, it only empowers the word.

Re: Racial slurs

Here's one I never thought was a slur before...

Spanish-Language Radio Station Slams Police for Describing Suspect as 'Hispanic'
Wednesday, November 14, 2007
By Melissa Underwood

An Arizona Spanish-language radio station is blasting a local police department for what it says is racial profiling: describing the suspect in a series of child rapes as "Hispanic."

Police are offering $25,000 for any information leading to an arrest in the case of the "Chandler Rapist," who began assaulting victims in Chandler, Ariz., in June 2006.

The suspect is described as Hispanic, 28 to 40 years old, short with a muscular build, dark hair and hazel or brown eyes.

Phoenix news talk radio station, KNUV 1190 AM, has complained to the police department about the description, claiming that "Hispanic" refers to an ethnicity, not a race.

"Hispanic could be white, it could be black, it could be dark-skinned complexion," said Mayra Nieves, vice president of programming. "We Hispanics see it that way."

Police won't budge. They say they are following normal procedures for releasing information based on victims' descriptions. Five victims between the ages of 12 and 14 have described their assailant as Hispanic.

The rapist usually strikes in the morning, when his victims' parents, usually a single mother or father, leave for work. The rapist attacks when he knows the parent won't be home, threatening his victims with a weapon before he sexually assaults them, said police spokesman Sgt. Rick Griner.

"We are not racially profiling anybody or anything," said Griner. "For us to change or alter or omit, that is irresponsible on our part. The common goal is to catch this predator and get him off the street."

Nieves said the current police description limits the station's ability to give its listeners specifics about the suspect.

"We need specific descriptions because we are radio," she said.

Nieves said using the term Hispanic is not only racial profiling, but also stereotyping.

The complaint from the radio station is the only the department received, Griner said.

"They are wanting a skin color. How do you classify a skin color?" Griner said. "What might be dark to me might not be dark to you. We're going off what [the victims] are telling us."

The American Civil Liberties Union said the the suspect's description is not racial profiling. It said if police used race as the sole factor in describing the suspect, that could be racial profiling.

"They are using concrete information to follow up leads," said Alessandra Soler Meetze, a spokeswoman for the ACLU Phoenix chapter.

An attack last Thursday, believed to be that of the same rapist, occurred when an intruder broke into a home and attacked a 15-year-old girl after her father went to work.

[Damn Right]

people use racial slurs to make up for their lack of a strong vocabulary....which is also why so many guys curse so much in everyday speak....they don't know many other words to describe their feelings or tell the story they wanna get out.

Uh, no...

First off, "pissed?" No, it's a conversation.

The point is that somebody's always going to be pissed and if you look at post #2, you have a lot more words to ban. Can't say ****, but you can say nigga, to kayanation's chagrin, you can call someone a moolie, a redskin (worst sports team name there is), kyke...

The point was that banning **** means nothing.

 

[HNIC]

I actually forgot the shit was banned, the only word I won't allow is n-i-g-g-e-r, other than that everything else is fair game.

If you guys feel that strongly about saying k-i-k-e, I can get it unbanned for you, but damn, the shit been a banned word for at least 8 years and we don't use it enough to know it was a banned word.

I understand it's a conversation, I was just letting you know the history of the ban.

Y'all forget. What we're doing here is already considered offensive to a lot of the world's population. Why don't we just ban Blackgirl Online, Playboy, Maxim, and all that other shit so that nobody can be offended by porn.

All of you Nazi's on this board like Kaya trying to be holy on a porn site and them either need to enjoy the pussy and shut the fuck up or log the fuck off. Niggaz aint nobody forcing you to be here.

I agree... I've been posting here long enough and didn't know it was banned until Ivy League pointed it out, which is why I quoted him to start off the thread.

I bumped this thread today because of kayanation's thread, linked to in reply #20. He thinks the word "nigga" should be banned. Would you ever consider that? Possibly change your name to HCIC (Commander)?

I wouldn't be the one to ask you to unban k!ke, but aren't a lot more people on this board probably offended more by "nigga" than "****"?

It's your board; you can ban or unban whatever you want. Just playing Devil's Advocate.

You sure are smiley-happy, aren't you?

Like I said, I was never trying to get "kike" unbanned, but if you realized that it made no sense to add to the list of banned words beyond n-i-g-g-e-r, good for you.

Although we've used the word at least a dozen times now in this thread, so we can see how effective that is...

With all due respect, HNIC this is the very problem with us now. You unban kike knowing it is a racist slur against Jews, but ban n***er cause you are in fact black. If something is wrong its wrong all the time. Racist slurs are wrong.

Most people don't have a problem with something unless it hits "HOME" Be racist all you want just as long as it isn't against blacks. Bomb any country as long as it isn't ours. Show all the porn you want just long as you don't post pics of my wife. Freak1

But seriously, I don't think the word should be banned. Just put the person on ignore if you don't like his use of the word.

 

[Costanza]

I notice nobody commented on the George Carlin piece. The easily missed Lenny Bruce clip got some downloads, so I figure some people must've watched it, but I wonder what your reactions are. In every circumstance where I've heard a white person around me use the word, even in a non-hateful way (dumb shit like quoting Dave Chappelle's show) I haven't liked it because I felt it was disrespectful and inconsiderate. But I don't believe in "bad words"-- the Bruce zshare clip is a good piece explaining that-- and this piece doesn't offend me just because the intent is so clear and there's nothing personal or hateful about it... Every individual has creative license and you can't have strict rules as to which thoughts people can explore. Of course you can always criticize them, but I don't see anything to criticize here.

Thoughts?
