I don't know, the word "nigga" doesn't bug mee if it's used as a term of
endearment between black people. My friends and I all call eachother
"crackas," and all my gay friends call eachother "fags," so I really don't
see the differance. Seeing suburban white kids throwing it out does bug
mee though. I love seeing white kids who get their parents to drive them
to the mall dressed in their most expensive Fubu (which of course stands
for "For sUburban white kids, By sUburban white kids) wih one pant leg
lifted halfway up talking like they're straight outta Compton. Oi...
The one that REALLY pisses mee off is "baby's mama." "Baby's Mama" is just
an abbreviation for "bitch I don't care about but fuck when there's nothing
good on TV." No she's not my girlfriend, she's my baby's mama. Arg!

I honestly don't care what people call each other, but the N word is a
sensitive point with me, and I don't care WHO says it or WHAT color they
are. It's a racist word, period. I also don't dig the whole "fag" thing
either, nor am I "down wit" using any kind of racist language as terms of
"endearment". I fail to see how using a word that was used hundreds of
years ago towards a specific ethnicity that were believed low, dirty, and
unintelligent and nothing better than animals, is endearing. But then
again *sigh* I"m not them. People can call each other what they want, but
that doesn't mean I have to be subjected to hearing the N word all friggin
day. I curb my language in public, at work, and around family out of
respect for those around me. Maybe I"m silly for expecting the same in
return?
I remember once during a landscaping class in highschool years ago, when
one of the guys (who was about 1 step from the friggin KKK) was bitching
about the "niggers" and then spotted an albino girl across the field and
then turned his bullshit towards her, how MAN that girl was white, man LOOK
at how WHITE she is, what a freak, god she's ugly blah blah blah. I turned
around and told him "Jesus eric, never thought I'd live to see the day when
there was someone TOO white for you." I think the only reason I didn't get
my ass kicked was because the instructor was RIGHT by me.
When I ask someone to NOT use the N word, and they get pissed off at me, I
ask them if they'd call their grandmother that...usually they shut up. I
hate it more than anything.
To me it's the dirtiest of any dirty word. I guess growing up in a racist
town will do that to you.

A friend of mine was playing basketball one day.
Since he was the largest person on the team, he was opposite the largest
person the their team. My friend was white, his opponent black. throught
the first half, the black guy kept making comments like, "Lets go cracka"
and "C'mon whitey, ain't you got any game?"
My friend then decides that if this guy can give it out, he should be able
to take it, so he says, "Ok nigger, lets rock." To which he recieved a
punch in the face.
When the teams pulled them apart, my friend looked at the other guy and
said, "Look, if you are going to keep saying racist things to me, you damn
well better expect me to say them back." Everybody there sided with my
friend, I feel he was right also, I don't think he went about it the right
way, but he did have a point. ____________________

The funniest thing I've ever seen happen to those little thug kids
(wiggers if you will, although I think it's a tad insulting seeing no black
people at my school act like that), is when you expose them to actual music
against their will!  They're listening to some horrible shit for like 2 hours with the
computer speakers, and i'm desperately trying to block it out with my
headphones  . Anyways, when another of the little bastards stopped playing
rap for so he could get up and say "fo shizzle" to his "nizzles", I took
the speakers and hooked them up to my discman.....
Things went absolutely silent... they wouldn't talk at all... they just
sort of sat there stunned as I filled the room with evil. After about 15
minutes, one managed to timidly say "this music sucks" which got him a
sharp glare from me, and all "my people" who had been more or less drawn to
the sound.... the "wiggers" fled after about 5 more minutes of it... (and
I've over heard the one who insulted me say I was creepy...  )
Therefore I dub it the "anti-stupid white kid aura" ____________________

The only problem I ever had with the French, if any problem, was how -some-
of their country men would trash America in a snooty way, but do not take
in account that they're not perfect either. I'm sure that not all of them
are like that though. It's likely to be everywhere...even with a lot of
the ego-heads on mainland (the "holier-than-thou" syndrome, that is). I
just get sick and tired of how everyone is constantly trashing America as a
whole. The government is different, but taking it out on EVERYONE is just
making an ass-out-of-you-and-me.
I agree with what people have to say for the most part. They don't have to
speak English in their own country. I'm sick of how people expect us to
know their language when they land on our soil, so why would I expect the
same out of them?
Ugh, don't get me started on ebonics. If you ask me, I personally think it
makes someone sound VERY low in intelligence. On top of that, if you use
it on a multi-translating forum, it looks REALLY unappealing to foreigners.
Though I don't think any country is perfect, I would understand for the
most part why they think we are a bunch of uneducated rednecks with the
amount of people killing the English (well in the US's case, Webster
English) language. I'm personally interested in learning Brit English
someday.
Maybe I'm wrong, but from what I understand, Latino Spanish is looked at as
ebonics to the Spanish-speakers in Europe. *calls for Arthegarn to correct
me, hehe*

Hi everyone.
Well about that ebonics thing looks like the perfect piece of crap that can
make a universal language lose its universality. You'll know what you do
but if you start talking like the scum of earth you'll lose a HUGE
advantage you have against non-native English speakers.
Anyway when I was in Texas I discovered that I could use words that
Americans didn't even know existed. Not that my syntax is all that good,
but... I remember a 16 year-old boy telling me I had an European English
accent. one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me (As a matter of
fact I sound like a mixture of Star Trek characters, I learnt how to
pronunciate from watching TNG...)
As for Latin Spanish being considered ebonics... Well, not exactly. Some
Caribbeans speak like hell, but that is sheer inculture: if they read more
they would have a borader vocabulary. It's true that every country speaks
Spanish their own way but it is completely understandable. There are
regionalisms... for instance in Mexico most people don't know every Spanish
verb has around 9 different past tenses, each of which has a proper use,
they seem to use the imperfect preterite for everything (they'd say "I
walked down the lane" instead of "I have walked down the lane" or "(once) I
had walked down the lane"). Argentinians use the "vos" pronoun, a form of
second person singular whuch implies the use of majestatic plural (it's
like the King or the Pope speak, sort of "we have decided") which was used
during the middle ages up to the 17th Century and then abandoned. Most
Americans would use "usted" (a polite second person pronoun which implies
the usage of the verb in the third person instead of the second, quite
similar to the German "sie") in situations in which a Spaniard would use
"tú", a more familiar pronoun (my fiancee sometimes speaks to me like that,
it makes me shiver). In general Americans use a more polite Spanish, full
of archaisms and regionalisms, but understandable nonetheless... until some
Caribbeans decide to make it uninteligible, of course, but that is done on
purpose.
A more curious phenomenon of American Spanish is the ridiculous Spanglish:
an absurd language i between Spanish and English that takes the worst of
both worlds, generally taking English words and phrases and then using
Spanish words which wound more or less like the english ones bot devoid of
any meaning.
Examples of Spanglish could be:
"Vacunar la carpeta", literally, "To inject a vaccine in the folder", an
horrendous translation of "To vacuum the carpet"
"Te llamo para atrás", literally "I call you backwards", a more horrendous
translation of "I call you back"
"Son cosas de tinajeros", literally, "They're just carriers of ceramic
vases' things", a quite astounding translation of teenager in "They're just
teenagers' things"
"Se deliberan groserías" literally "Gross expressions thought about here"
an unspeakable translation of "groceries delivered here"
"Se necesitan mujeres estériles" literally "Sterile women needed", a
"translation" of "Steady women needed"
And it goes on. Any of you having HS Spanish and wanting to have a good
time surf a little about Spanglish. THAT is Ebonics
Arthegarn
PS: My first contact with Spanglish was in an RPG convention in Madrid, I
was playing an AD&D game when one of the players, playing an assassin, said
to the master he was going to "baxtabear por la espalda a alguien". If
anyone guesses what's baxtabear, anyone earns a piece of candy

You're quite right Arthegarn. For instance, In Colombia we have a world of
phrases that could be derivatives of the spanish language in many ways lol.
Just like "cool" is "chido" in Mexico In Colombia Cool is said in many ways
"Que chimba!" "que bakano!" "que verga!" (although this last one is abit
agrressive in terms of what it could imply lol) But for me in any language
or any plae its the same: La gente de Shmeng es una Bakaneria!!!!

“...So when i cuss use slang or talk in ebonics i have to explain
everything to them it can be a pain sometimes but language mixups can bee
sch a pain in the arse! so yea!” quote from Sardonic-Pain
I enjoy an accent. As long as it is real, and sometimes it is cute when
they can’t understand what I’m saying. As long as I’m smiling and nodding
my head in a friendly manner I could be saying “go sit on a turtle”
and Nihongo ni hanashimasu.

There was a guy a few years ago that studied Ebonics... turns out it is
English vocabulary with African grammar.
At least, the "pure" form of ebonics, as he put it.
