Or you could post a direct link to prove your 800% claim on the DOJ site and shut me down.

Sheesh, can't believe I just read that bs. "Prove you wrong", lol, fail tactics. At least UB admitted that number was from his wiki, but he is probably close enough to correct for the idea to be the same, and true enough. IMO wikipedia is not a source for anything, ever. UB has backed himself up against the wall and has nowhere to go... except posting the DOJ numbers himself as the burden falls on him. Can we at least stop the insults for everyone's sake? Thanks yall.

Did you watch the video?
My issue is with the word itself... why do people keep letting it mean something to them?
As Lenny Bruce put it...

I am in no way speaking for all black people here. I think that word is hideous and was raised to not use it. Find me one word that is so hateful and has been adopted into current language in a non-deragotory way. You must know that racial issues are still huge in this country, especially the south.
Have you seen the "dont say gay when you mean stupid" commercials? I think Lenny was way off, and probably not the best or most qualified person to take ethics lessons from.

so what is the point of this statement? rappers using "nigga" does not make it right for anyone to use "nigger" or "nigga" or any of the other versions.
you don't see that rappers (and the gang culture in general) are part of the problem?
two wrongs do not equal a right. simple mathematics.

Lenny was spot on pal... if a single word offends you so much, then you have a personal problem.
Once people stop being offended by such silly words, then it won't be a problem anymore, eh?

That is faulty logic and them some based on unrealistic dreams. Asking people to stop being offended by the word "nigger", or "kike" or any of the other derogatory words, is beyond delusional to the realm of fantasy. How high are you? And give me some.
How about when monkeys fly out of my butt, then that will happen. So maybe take step into reality and respect others' rights to be offended by that horrible word because of the recent history of its use.
Carlin's words were WAY different than the n-word. He had a valid point. Lenny, not so much.

No, the faulty logic is letting syllables be offensive.
Actions are offensive, words... truly meaningless.
I guess you if want to be offended, then by all means let words offend you... but me, no way.

syllables be offensive? lol at your comprehension of the general idea of language and meaning behind words. figures are grouped as letters, letters as words, those words represent ideas ect. Get it? LOL "Actions are offensive...", lol, you must be tripping. Get back to me when it wears off. "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me" is for kids dude. adults know that is not true.
Also, suggesting that people are offended by the n-word because they want to be, not because maybe they were called the n-word and discriminated against, is offensive and ridiculous at the same time. It completely shows how delusional and theoretical your view is.
Hello? This is the real world calling Socata. Come back to us Socata.
And congrats on your zen like attitude towards words. You can't expect the rest of the world to be there with you...

Thanks!
Wasn't too hard achieving this zen-like state... people just need to be peaceful, and loving... even the harshest words are words of love to me!
Zippidy-doo-da... zippidy-day... my oh my what a wonderful day! Plenty of sunshine in my way...

I have been called all of these and it doesn't bother me, but put your hands on me or put me in a situation where I feel threatened and it is a different story. You ever heard the old saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me?" Get over it, if you don't want to be lumped in to a sterotype don't live up to it.

do words float around in some mysterious ether, or are they verbalized (an action) or typed (an action)?
i wonder, if words are so meaningless, why are we bothering to transmit words via a message board on the internet
that's moving the goalposts.
