I have to say it again, I'm not really racist. Just because I say nigger doesn't mean I'm racist, just because I call someone a monkey ass baboon doesn't mean I'm racist, because I don't think I'm better or worse than another because of our skin. I'm a nigger, my father's a nigger, I can say nigger according to the international rules of niggerdry, not that I think that should matter, I think anyone should be allowed to say any word.

No one knows it took me 7 years of repeatedly saying nigger every day to myself to desensitize myself to it and take the gut churning power away from the word, or another way to look at it was, I was undoing the horrendous brain damage society had done to me by making me think a word had so much power in the first place.

@Jazzy_Butts the problem here is you believe that racism is just superiority/inferiority based on skin, race is a lot more than pigmentation

@doorroo I never said it wasn't, I know Indians aren't niggers even if they're the same shade, and I know indians can come in white shades, and I know blacks can be albino or light

@doorroo What I wish we had was a race of black skinned whites, like dark elves

@Jazzy_Butts i was referring to the 'i don't think because of skin', i just think it's silly to say i'm not racist because it gives meaning to a slander word

@doorroo I'm not racist, but I am a racialist. I think that word needs to go mainstream, because it is a clear way to say "I acknowledge differences between races but don't think I'm better or worse than anyone different from me"

@Jazzy_Butts
i've always been averse to the 'racialist' substitute, i prefer co-opting a word, race is a real distinction and ism just means a system or thought process, anyone who thinks of people as different group exercises a form of race-ism
