jettison Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Ah yes. I come from a mixed neighborhood where everyone says it. That doesn't make it ok. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 real or not, u still never know these days. make sure you keep your laughter to yourselves though. some of those guys will pull guns. from the burbs or not. but yes, equally funny. Link to comment
MyNinja Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 my bad, I didn't mean to offend anyone. i didn't know that much racism was put into it being that I live in a mixed neighborhood, but lets drop it, ok. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 when i was in high school, there was a mentally challenged kid i used to help out in my extra period class. anyways, i hadn't seen him for a while. these gang members pulled up in our neighborhood that we knew to say sup. they had that kid in the back seat wearing all their colors. i was disgusted. i said hi to him, but he had no idea what he was doing. i think his cousin or something was mixed up in that gang. i won't say their ethnicity in avoidance of being racist.

CallingAllAngels Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I don't think this thread has anything to do with "race"....at least I am not referring to any particular race. I am referring to BEHAVIOR. Link to comment
MyNinja Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 ^exactly. i wasn't implying anything of the sort as far as race was concerned when i made that comment. It's purely behavior which is why someome would be called that, not skin color. Link to comment
jettison Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I don't think this thread has anything to do with "race"....at least I am not referring to any particular race. I am referring to BEHAVIOR. It's about the phrase "porch monkey". It's just as derogative as using the phrase "spear chucker". Not appropriate. The poster didn't know though. No harm done. Link to comment

I'm implying that you just didn't know any better. No big deal. But again, this is a really offensive phrase in some circles. Link to comment

No, these kids were okay with it. They were looking at us and laughing with us when we chuckled at their friend on the phone. They were as dangerous as my cat. Link to comment
Lionel Hutz Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Well coming from an African American male, those terms are racist. Do any of us have time to be the race police? Not really. I figure with a mentality that consists of ignorance one will not get far. Ignorance for those who dont know is a lack of knowledge in a particular subject. If you dont know that a phrase is racist dont use it.For that matter, if you dont know what a phrase means, dont use it. Some may not excuse your ignorance and correct you without using force. Keep that in mind for future reference. Link to comment

It's a derogatory word for an African American. And yes, you can write the words in this context, but you cannot call someone that name, nor use it in an inflammatory way. Link to comment
