Legal or illegal?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Legal or illegal?

Postby Eric dayi » Thu May 01, 2008 6:14 pm

can you tell me anywhere in the "free world" that is illegal to call a black person a "Nigger".?? It is morally wrong to be a Racist, but not illegal.


The above quote is from the racist kikapu (aka kick-a-poonokio), do you agree with him or is it a punishable offence?

Also, if you call one black person a "N......", are you only insulting him or all black people?

In the UK is is an offence under the (and i think but don't quote me ) race relations act.

Police officers cannot call someone a N........., and if you do you can be prosecuted.

that might be the same here, but i can not think of anyone ever getting arrested for it. seems like half the rappers should go to jail, cause almost every rap cd has that term somewhere in it. what makes it ok for one black to call another black the "N" word, but if anyone else does, they get beat up?

The word Nigger is Spanish adaptation for Black .I see nothing racist about calling someone black , NEGRO in Greek and Nigger in Spanish. In the UK it is an offence to tell a foreigner to go back to where he came from , it is an arrestable offence !! What a bloody joke. I told a traffic warden recently to get back to the hole he crawled from , I was almost arrested ! Bloody vermin I hate them and detest the system that has legalized daylight robbery. Very shortly , in the near future , it will also be made illegal to address someone in the UK in English , so lets get practicing with Mandarin , Urdu , Bengal and Fuckladeshy !!

Etymology : alteration of earlier neger, from Middle French negre, from Spanish or Portuguese negro, from negro black, from Latin niger.

Pronunciation : 'ni-g&r
Function : noun
Date : 1700

There is no such word as "nigger" in Spanish or Portuguese or any other language except for the derogatory/racist reasons it was "invented" for in the USA around 300 years ago. :roll: :roll: :roll:

""""The history of the word "nigger" is often traced to the Latin word niger, meaning black. This word became the noun, negro (black person) in English, and simply the color black in Spanish and Portuguese. In Early Modern French, niger became negre and, later, negress (black woman) was unmistakably a part of lexical history. One can compare to negre the derogatory nigger and earlier English substitutes such as negar, neegar, neger, and niggor that developed into its lexico-semantic true version in English. It is probable that nigger is a phonetic spelling of the white Southern mispronunciation of Negro. """"

You brought the subject up AC/DC Eric Dayi. All I did was to tell you, that if you call a black person a "Nigger" you are only making an insulting remarks towards that individual and not to the whole black race. The word has been used often towards blacks in the states by racist "red-necks" like yourself in the past and even today, but you will be shocked to know, that the biggest offenders of the usage of the word "Nigger", is by the black community towards each other. As GG said, I do not believe the usage of the word "Nigger" is illegal, but it sure can cause a riot. I have never come across anyone being prosecuted for the usage of the word "Nigger".

Since you brought up the subject originally, and seem to have intimate knowledge of the judges reaction in the court room towards anyone using the word "nigger" in the UK, just exactly how many months jail time did you serve for being racist AC/DC.??
