Outrage Over "Nigger Brown" Couch

Hmm. Do I type a furious reply and say how many people here don't seem to 'get' racism? Like how they think theres really nothing wrong with the word nigger, it's just a word, a damn word that black people been plugging for years anyway, damn coons they use it themselves? (even though the spelling is with an a) How people seem to think that every (although some do admitedly) black person who gets offended is just looking for attention and 'overreacting' just 'over a silly little word that school kids and thugs use in the playground'? How if the story was about a woman getting money over the use of the word bitch, they'd be more sympathetic? How people need to stop relying on the media and (lol) start thinking for themselves? How we can all make the world a better place, by Recycling? How only they can prevent forest fires? How to do the level select for Sonic 1?

Or, do I sit back and laugh at the description as 'nigger brown couch'? Lol!

Honestly, I'd just settle for an apology from the couch company, and that they didn't do it again. I doubt I'd try to sue over it. Seems like a dumb mistake from the chinese carpet company that they're going to rectify anyways.

Unfortunely, the word cracker is never going to mean as much to white people, as the word nigger does to black people. It's not just the word it's the history blah blah blah. You all KNOW. Just as if the couch was labled as 'Every Nazi's dream!', the word Nazi would just be enough for Jewish people to get angry.

But if I knew an asian person who was offended by the word 'paki' and he thought he could get money, and he was willing to share with me, I'd say GO FOR IT!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

LOL! This is why I never take internet forums seriously! What sort of history has Yank to it? How many people call you Yank in order to demean you? Again, look at the HISTORY. I know you want to wipe it under the carpet, hey maybe people in Germany are upset because they (sometimes) get labeled as nazis, when that whole Hitler misunderstanding happened before their time. And they get blamed for both world wars, when really you'll see it was all economical. That plus politics, you know it's always politics.

So I can sort of see where you are comming from. I mean, if everyone wants to be equal, why ever have a Black parade, or Black rights, because if a white person did them, that'd be racist. Why can't decent white people have a White Power parade, being proud of and trying to promote more white-only groups? That group the JJJ, is it? They've got the right idea. I understand entirely. That whole segregation incedent happened hundreds of years ago. Damn jigs. Why can't they just let go of the past? Hey they use it themselves, so they can't complain if a white guy calls them a nigger maybe at work or in the street. And besides, dont you know at least one black who's ok with you calling him a nigger and all? So if that one guy can see, why can't they all see? PLUS!!! If you go over many posts here, including my own, you'll see that I describe many situations as 'gay', so just who am I to try to preach? How dare I try stick up for 'those damn dirty choco-faces' when I don't lend a hand to the homosexual community? AND!! You don't see chinese people getting worked up every time the word 'chink' is used, do ya?

Seriously man, I swear some people are so duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumb.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
