Is it OK for you to use "jew" or "towelhead" or other religious slur as a derogatory term such as "fag"?

"Jew" is not a deragatory word.

Check bolds.

Check bolds. Also, putting jew in the same class as towelhead? ok!

I don't understand what you're trying to get at here. If you're trying to say that "jew" cannot be used in a derogatory way, as a slur, I don't know what to tell you. Just calling someone a jew for spending very little money is a derogatory slur. And that is just one example, now imagine what it means to call someone a jew in an Islamic society .

the word "Jew" is a classification of a member of a certain faith. The word is not derogatory. The word CAN be used in a derogatory manner, but the word in of itself is not derogatory.

Jew falls in with such words as Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Buddhist, Daoist etc. It's not derogatory.

#1 Im not white so theres no point in bringing that up.

#2 What does reperations have anything to do with katrina? The problem here with everyone's opposition is you sterotype that all this money that is being "taken" from you is being used poorly.

I asked, do you know where all your tax money actually goes? How do you know it's not being used to send your govenor and his family to bermuda? See the fact of the matter is you don't, but you bitch like it's literally being taken out of your wallet and into the hands of someone spending it on guns.

That's the most important issue everyone here seems to be dodgin, but you all act like this money thats being given was taken from you. The bitching continues and all that's shown is the true nature of how you really are, that you do indeed have these racist feelings you inside you waiting for something like this to come out.

This whole thread is pointless until someone can come out with a better response than that. Why do you care when you know worse things are going on? You guys can go on and on about your race cards I dont really care, cause we're at the point where I have heard everything it is your trying to say and your not bringing up anything new, just reiterating your old ideas.

To me, even if some are using the money illegitematley, that doesn't shadow the people who geninuely did need it. Your just letting yourselves look at it the opposite way because it's very easy to play the reverse victim. I'm sorry I don't find compassion for people who are already blessed.

and again for your dumb ass, this topic was on the misuse of money by hurrican victims, not my governor and his family going to bermuda with tax money. You presented me with a question on how i feel about government misuse and i replyed that i hated it. that is as far as my obligation to respond to that goes. If you are looking for something else, again make a new thread. In case you missed it in school, taxes do come directly out of my wallet. So therefore the gun that guy bought some of my money was used, no matter how small the ammount. I have that right in this country to question where my tax dollars go. I have that right to bitch and complain when i dont think it is being used correctly.

You continue to bring up your same lame argument and we continue to show you why you are wrong. this isnt a race issue, but you continue to make it one. Just becuase i know worse things are going on, doesnt excuse the not so bad things. Should we all now let drug offenders get away free of all charges because someone is out there stealing auto's? or better yet why dont we let child molesters continue to molest children because ppl are out there murdering. Your argument doesnt hold. Just becuase it isnt the most wastefull thing out there doesnt mean i or anyone else has to sit there and just take it.

again i didnt say all the money was being used poorly. i was complaining about the money which was. Dont over generalize. You keep dodging what everyone else is saying. We have numerous times now pointed out your racist and discriminative attitude. You keep ignoring it. You cant come back in any of your argument with anything else other than you are a racist. You constantly assume on your posts that i am a certain way so you can label me in a certain color category. If you dont believe im black, prove it. the burden of proof is on you to discredit me. You are the most fucked up piece of shit i have meet in a long time.

peace fucker i dont know if ill reply to this thread since you still havent used your brain. If you want to discuss the missuse of money by the governemnt make another thread. I really hope you dont have children, they will be the most fucked up pieces of shit pulling the race card to get stuff in life.

one more thing lol

Klever you wanted to know if it would be different in a white area and i responded with northridge. You obviously didnt like that since youve ignored it twice so here is another example.

Last year in california there where wildfires everywhere. One of the areas which got hit was Laguna Beach. Many homes where destroyed from those fires and families where displaced. Where was the governenment help in that predominatly white area? Again wasnt a whole lot if any at all :D. If you want a third example im sure i can think up one which has happened in the past few years.

[Gregorio]

Hahahah Klever is funny.

No, but if you call someone a Jew as an insult for whatever reason, that wouldn't be considered socially acceptable. Klever's point was that it was OK to call someone a fag because the people who are offended "made the choice" to be gay (which is an entirely separate argument, which I won't get into here). My question was why is it OK to call someone a fag as an insult when it's not OK to call someone a religious insult, whereas religion is clearly a choice as well?

But he dodged the entire question, so it's kind of a moot point.

thanks for saving me the trouble Daahan

Saving you the trouble from? What Daahan posted is just redundancy, he even stated that the word jew can be used as a derogatory slur. Nobody claimed that the word "jew" is a derogatory slur, but rather that it can be (and is) used as one...

Almost any word can be used in a derogatory fashion or at an attempt to be derogatory, putting the word Jew and towelhead as similar is ridiculous. Calling someone a Jew if they are Jewish simply means you are stating the obvious and suck at insulting people. Calling someone a Jew for being "cheap" or for whatever reason is called a tasteless joke. If someone is offended by being called a Jew, then they must have something against Jews, or they feel you may be insulting their own faith. It is not derogatory in any way, and if you feel it is then you must think pretty badly of Jews and should reconsider you outlook on faiths.

My question was why is it OK to call someone a fag as an insult when it's not OK to call someone a religious insult, whereas religion is clearly a choice as well?

Since when is calling a gay person a fag acceptable? YOU may think it's OK because you don't get offended by it, but someone who is offended by it is not OK with it. "Jew" was never meant to be derogatory, "fag" was never meant to be not derogatory. See the difference?

That was my whole point, Almaa. Klever was saying it was OK to call someone a fag, and he didn't care if a homosexual was offended, because being homosexual was (in his opinion) a choice. I was trying to point at a similar situation involving a "choice."

EDIT: Added: (in his opinion)

[Erebus]

Hmm, I thought the meaning of the word had changed, just like nigger to nigga.

It's ironic cause most of the time, I would see straight people being called fags/faggot while gay people were just... gay.

Like you can be gay, but that doesn't make you a faggot. Faggot meant you were a coward or a whiny lil bitch when I was growing up.

Anyway,

What the hell? Your argument was that "jew" was not a derogatory word, which is ignoring semantics. Any rational human that does not see the use of "jew" as an ethnic slur in circumstances other then describing a religion (and sometimes a people) is simply ignorant to the pejorative nature of the word. If you just don't understand semantics, leave it at that.

Disguising an ethnic slur as a "tasteless joke" is also a rather lame attempt at justifying your position. It is, in fact, only "tasteless" because it is understood to be an ethnic slur. If Jewish people (as a people, rather then a religion) were not generalized as being cheap, the joke would hold no meaning. Thus you are making a joke by belittling a group of people, which is otherwise known as an ethnic slur.

I'm not arguing whether or not "jew" is similar to the word "towelhead", but the fact remains that both are ethnic slurs. In this case I'd agree that the word "jew" leaves a lot more interpretation behind it then the word "towelhead", however again, that was not my argument.
