Outrage Over "Nigger Brown" Couch
 

What a crazy coincidence: a black family buys the only brown couch labeled "nigger brown" by a Chinese factory using old Chinese-to-English translations.

The world is a crazy place.

Why is it that niggers can't bounce back from being called a nigger? She sounds like she will be emotionally scarred because she bought a nigger brown couch.

Ouch! That's also true how it shouldn't purely be a computer error. Someone along the line has to proofread at least to make sure the labels aren't incorrect :s As frequently as the word is thrown out in a joking context, it's basically just as bad as naming a couch "porn sex sofa" or something, and having a kid stumble onto that.
Pretty offensive.

What, they aren't negroes?

That movie looks awesome. And honestly, I can't stop laughing at the name nigger brown couch. That is hilarious.


They're Chinese who probably know very little, if any English at all. Though I doubt this will get as much attention as the nappy headed hos remark that Imus said.

Something to keep in mind is that in Chinese there is no difference between black, negro, or nigger... they use the same word for all of that 黑 (black) 人 (person). Also certain ideas and stereotypes that are frowned upon in the US are common and accepted in China.

Shut the fuck up you Asian-yiffing sack of shit.

So the black woman in the article is black, but you're going to go ahead and use a racial slur to describe her? Oh, it's the fuck on.

I'm sorry, normally this shit is something I'd let slide, especially if it were one of the thousand racial jokes topics in the Sewers, but this here's General Discussion. I realize there's some humor in the topic and the article's content, but that doesn't necessarily excuse you from outright generalizing an entire group of people with a derogatory term.

It's disturbing to see racism like that, so yes, I can understand this woman's feelings. It's like constantly being reminded that yes, the world thinks little of you as a whole, even though they don't openly acknowledge it.

"Oh, they're niggers. They're brown like niggers. Don't they look like apes with those big lips and nappy hair?"

It's so fucking easy to make fun of people who look different than you, isn't it dumbshit? Well newsflash, you fair-weathered chink, people can make fun of you rice-eating faggots just the same. Get off your high horse and open your eyes.

OH WAIT. YOU ASIAN.

THERES GONNA BE SHOOTINGS.

Sup guys! If "nigger brown coach" were a picture on Engrish.com, you'd all be linking it in #gfchat and having a good-natured laugh at those silly, crazy Asians.

It's a fucking word, she needs to get over it. It's like her whole life is ruined because of a single moment, it was probably an accident.

That's the lulziest part right there. It has taken a toll on her family?
Fucking pathetic.

Why is it when nigger is used some idiot states it demeans all black people. I hate when people speak for me, then again I guess it's easier to argue a point when you claim you have the support of a whole race of people behind you.

How can people be mad at this. Every time I say nigger brown and try to be mad I just start laughing. Ahaha jesus.

Well OK.

I'll resume the angry negro position next time.

lol, at least this isn't as bad as giving James Earl Jones this plaque

FYI: James Earl Ray shot Martin Luther King Jr... so considering this plaque was supposed to be given to Jones on Martin Luther King Day....

This all pisses me off nonetheless. I need some hobbies.

"Hey boss I just bought a real Chinese-English dictionary, it's better than that one you completely made up all those years ago"
"There'll be a new version of YOU if you don't shut up and get back to work, making couches"
"What does that even mean?"
"IT MEANS MAKE COUCHES"
"But the dictionary is right here, it'll take like a second to chuck out the old one and use this"
"WE COULD MAKE EIGHT THOUSAND COUCHES IN THAT ONE SECOND"
"But we haven't sold a single one in ten years!"
"THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE WASTING TIME NOT MAKING COUCHES, YOU'RE FIRED"
"Finally"

It's not like the woman's ALERTING THE INTERNETS (the highest authority on Earth) or BAAAAAAAAAAAAWing like a preteen Linkin Park fan. She was genuinely offended. Is that so hard to understand?

And not everyone is as 'immune' to the negativity the word 'nigger' carries, or are you too stock full of your own shit to realize this?

Oh, right. Because nigger clearly refers to the cotton-picking cracker in Bel Air.

You know that's probably it. I have never understood it and never will. It's impossible for me to get. Seriously.

In my eyes whoever gets overly offended and lets it 'take a toll' on them or their family is a whiny pussy.

What I mean here is that I wish Al Sharpton or whomever is championing 'black power' for the week would say "That word offends me. Me only! I don't like it. Apologize to me." Not so hard really. I don't need an apology from Imus, the Chinese, or whoever.

And of course.

Well yeah, that annoys the piss out of me, too. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson (whom I respected before he went on this weird 'black community leader' tirade) seem to take it upon themselves to stand up and get all pseud-King on people over dumb shit that it really gets out of hand.

I also don't get why the media and even some black folk refer to these guys as leaders in the black community ANYWAY. It's like, if you've got money and a big mouth, you're in charge.

So you used to respect them before they became leaders in the black community? What else has either of them done? They've been the assholes that stir the pot as long as I can remember.

That's kinda the way the world works.

I've never got why people get so offended over a fucking WORD anyway. You don't see the Jews bitching every time I say "holocaust".
