The e-mails I get...

It's not about the exact words used, it's about the context. Most people on here are not claiming inherent features of certain groups in society when people happen to Jew their stuff. When I find a group of porch monkeys outside my gate I'm just going to call a spade a spade. In the end we're just reclaiming old words into our own lingo.

"I'm not actually a racist! I just use the word nigger to insult people that I hate! You have to look at the intent of the word!"

Why does this word make you think of race?

doesn't it mean foolish ignorant dumb etc?

No. It is a derivative of the latin word "niger", which simply means black

Do you actually believe this?

To be sure, just because I think that words such as "faggot", "nigger", &c., can be used without any racist or homophobic intentions, does not mean that I imply that speakers using them are not even aware of their racist or homophobic origins and undertones. Rather the opposite: The acknowledgement of their inflaming meaning only serves to make them all the more effective as insults. Most intelligent people can make the distinction without problem, however.

I don't think there's anything strange at all about that, honestly. Do you also believe that people drawing swastikas on the ground are honestly nazis and do it to pay their tribute to the Führer?

Good Point, i even greet my russian workmate AS GERMAN with a hitler salute everyday when i start work and he finished work or in revert whenever we see us. He always greets with a commuisn salute. Past history can't get changed, so why don't have some fun about it?

Unrelated, but you and Jorb both say "&c" I assume it means "and so on" or "etc" but I've not heard the term used anywhere other than between you two. Is that what this means? And how do you pronounce it?

"Etc." is an abbreviation of Latin "et cetera", and & is a digraph for "et", so it is literally the same as writing "etc.". It used to be a standard form.

This thread had so much potential but instead has become a mental masturbation circle jerk. Can we focus on what a fucktard the guy who sent the email is? And/or can someone find his email or the state he lives in so i can doxx him?

I see. I figured it was something like this, thanks for the clarification
