I'm not saying you're wrong ... I'm just not sure you're 100% on point.
Though I respect your frustration and your anger.
Heaving someone just across the fence from me "joke" (in a very serious and bloodcurdlingly four way) about putting someone into a motherfucking wood chipper because of the color of their skin makes me want to curb stomp skulls. When I heard that my heart felt like it was going to pop out of my chest. The "old me" would have knocked on the door and said something, but the old me got into and lost one too many fist fights.
I can't stand hearing that shit. It makes me sick to my stomach. Obviously SOMETHING is wrong with EVERYTHING if people think they can talk that way and just get away with it.

it's really the use of the word and whether or not yr racist. I've lived in Georgia my whole life and im still shocked at how the word is thrown around. my girlfriend, not real girlfriend, uses it all the time when I visit her with her neighbors.
it goes:
white girl: "I told that nigga to get da fuck out of my house, he's just trying to butter me up." nigga meaning white dude.
black girl: "I hear you sister. yep, he's trying to butter you up."
me: shocked, no matter how many times I've heard this where I live.
you can tell me this or that but, I am a product of my environment and I could give you worse examples than that. im still not used to certain racism. then there's things that go on like the dialogue I typed above.
America is a huge country with different fractions of different fractions with different cultures and ideas. it's alien to give an opinion with the opposite opinion a thousand miles away.
it amazes me that so few people can still control a huge amount of the population.
