Outrage Over "Nigger Brown" Couch

(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!

So, like, that whole, "Nigger" issue, I'm thinking, you know, since it's really from the American South, can it really be a big deal for a Canadian black person? Does it have the same connotations? Do English black people, like black people in Britain, get offended by the word "Nigger"? Really?

Also, Sonic 3, it's up-down-left-right, up-down-left-right till you hear the "ding', then you do A+C (i think it's A+C, might be all three...)

Wow, dumb people are motherfucking duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumb.

You should learn how racism works and why it's such a touchy issue.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
