[WardFive] Re: [ward5] Might as well use the "N" word!

Bro. Tony,
 
I always say that the White folks who are oppressive and Racist get away with what they say and do because Black folks allow it.  We should be having the conversation every time that the issues pop their head up -- that means everyday, every topic on the news, every comment that is made -- let's ask Why, What do you think, etc.  Like a pimple, we need to get to the roots and squeeze it out. 
 
In other words, we don't need a Big Diamond Cutter -- We can all participate with a drip of water on each neighbor, co-worker, friend, in-law, etc and just drip, drip, drip away with conversation.  We can't change people but we can give them enough information to overflow their brain so that they want to change themselves --- Hey -- that's the right use of Cognitive Dissonance -- since most people are inherently good and want to be good, and want to do good things, eventually good will over power the bad thoughts and intent -- hopefully.

Subject: Re: [ward5] Might as well use the "N" word!


 

Aaron - maybe I can be more plain --- it seems like unless the "N" word is used, so many White people refuse to realize that the situation was racist, racially motivated, racially anchored to something that resides in the head of almost all European American - something that has been drilled into their subsconcious from birth. Some are able to be as fair as possible and have been helpful to the movement towards equality for Blacks (all non- Whites).

Eg. As great friends and fair people that Mr. Peloquin and Eric are, I sometimes explain things to them. The wonderful appreaciation that they have for fairness shows in their immediate understanding when I identify things that they instantly get it - and that is one of the reasons that I appreciate their friendship!!

And no Tony, I am not at all surprised. I was just still hoping to chip away at the denial crust of Whites regarding Racism.

Rob Ramson

 

I am not understanding your point but racism is every where but you do not have to use the N word.
These is only due to Paula Deen  use of the N word but note this I respect her over individuals who smile in your face and then call you all types of name behind your back

Good Afternoon,
 
I just wanted to share -- imagine the comments about Serena.  No use of the "N" word but of course some folks will still deny that some of the comments don't anchor on racism. 
 
Just look at the tweets/comments below about Serena Williams and tell me if Some White Folks just don't understand their Anchors to Racism, their Racist attitude towards lots of things and that some Whites are just silent Racist people who were raised by Racist parents who were raised by their Racist Grandparents, etc.  Tell me what Ethnic Group is making which Comments!!!

Just watched a replay of the match (only because I enjoyed it so much the first time).  Lisicki made the thug look like a cow on roller skates in that their set.  And like another poster pointed out, Williams really does look like Mike Tyson's long lost sister.

Monica Seles will always be the greatest women's player anyway. Okay, her talent wasn't quite as good as Serena, but she was still dominant during her time. Had she not been stabbed by that idiot, she would have been truly great.

@Italian_Stallion70 What?  "her talent wasn't quite as good as Serena", you got that right.  Seles had WAY more talent than Serena.  A much better return of serve, a much better back hand, and certainly more of a killer instinct.  She was stabbed at age 19, if that would not have happened she would have been the greatest ever, she had already won 8 slams and was ranked number 1 for nearly 2 years when the tragedy happened.  How many slams did Serena win by age 19???

Did you even listen to the post game interview? Serena gave Sabine major props for beating her and not once during the interview did she make an excuse for getting beat. To not like Serena is one thing but to post idiotic comments on something that's not true, make you "classless" and your whole post irrelevant.

It couldn't possibly be because she was beaten by a superior player, no there has to be some excuse as usual. Like she had a bad day, give me a break why can't the media say something good about her opponent instead of making excuses for Serena.
It is obvious that Serena is using performance enhancing drugs which is why it is so good to see her lose.

Well in the long history of Tennis..due the Court condition differences with Wimbledon and the French Open or US Open..., one being in Clay and the other on Grass.. "Most of Time' ...different winners dominate on certain Courts. It has always been a 'given fact'. It's rare that Winners to breeze to victories on both events....Sarenna "has indeed achieved it in the past".. So obviously the Expectation was for Victory to happen this time...However, to say sarenna was bothered by any distractions culminating from a Media bickering between her and one of her rivals, Maria Sharapova....could be a 'Strategy' that the Sharapova camp wanted to 'test'. Luckily for them....it worked....so the Tennis Queen is gone, or as some in Sharapova camp would say...'the __itch is' gone (fill in the blank...depending how Vulgar  "Sharapovites" are).  SARENNA is still queen in My Book!!! Many Baseball & NFL & PGA experts know that Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Tony Gwynn, Johnny Unitas, and Jack nicklaus didn't win every Batting Title, or Passing Title, or Golfing Title during the 'prime yrs.' either.

@bigmlbfan You, Sir, are a liar and a mean one at that. If you think that you need to lie about something like that, it means that you know that the truth would not help your cause. It has now become ABUNDANTLY clear to me that you just hate Serena; and I'll guess that the reason is because of her race. I'll admit that it makes me sad that in the 21st Century black people still have to deal with such nastiness.

@tafnut I did bother to read the article, Sir/Madam but what's more I listened to the live interview. The bigbmlbfan showed his/her utter disregard for reality/fairness when he/she chos to ignore the fact that what was expressed in the article could never be all that was said by Ms Williams. I admit that the writer of the article had his own agenda - mainly to incite  comments like bigmlbfan's - but I sincerely believe that even if he/she had put everything that Serena had said into the article, the fanatic would have found something negative to say anyway. For the record: Serena heaped - as she should have - praises on Sabine. Ms. Williams said that she knew coming in that Sabine is a "good grass court player" and a "great player" in general and "always a threat, especially on grass"  and that she would be "difficult to beat on her best surface (grass)."
