I have no familiarity with the deep South but your answer is a sound one - no way that we can separate environment and experience from outlook.

That's a really insightful moment in the history of slang terms vs. mechanical ones.

I don't have some magic bullet  for how we get past innocently meant double meanings, but I do know that using the n-bomb helps no one ever, especially those blacks who have taken it over into their own lingo as a means of demystifying and disempowering it.

Their continuance of the word, even in a cloistered format is, I feel, a form of racism also.

If the word needs to die, then just let it die completely.

My .02c - adjusted for inflation of course... ::)

Maybe it’s use is a form of rascism, maybe it’s not. Either way it doesn’t serve any useful purpose. Just helps promote the close minded left.

Yeah, I've always considered the word to be quite offensive.  The other word I was forbidden to say was "cunt."  Only since spending time in this forum with the likes of Pud, O'Neill, and Sred. ..er...Mr. Vashtar, has it taken on a whole new shine for me.  Growing up in North Dakota, I was led to believe that the word "cunt" and the word "squaw" were equally offensive and meant the same thing.  Given the fact that there were a large number of Native Americans in and around the area, I avoided all words that could have some negative connotation toward Native Americans except for "filthy redskin" and "dirty injun" which I reserved for a friend of mine.

So there you go, I remember when back in the day one of the first of Phoenix's then new freeways was called "The Squaw Peak"...

Sometime recently when all the PC stuff became de riguer it was renamed the "Piestewa Freeway" after a Hopi soldier who was killed in the Iraq war.

"Cunt" is a deliciously Brit vulgarity that seems to have bled into our culture of late and with which I have become needlessly enamored.

Use that one growing up and it would have been a whole bar of Dial soap in the mouth. :-\

Homosexuals some decade ago reclaimed, or really I guess redefinided, the word "queer." Remember how they would disrupt government meetings or protest "we're queer, we're here" etc because they were upset they were getting AIDS due to their "lifestyle choices" and the government wasn't spending money on fighting it. Then some years ago the word "slut," was reclaimed in some bizarre way, to advance female rights, by having "slutwalks" and "reclaiming" the word slut. There also is some group, some say almost cult, of women that to advance feminist causes by going topless in protest. Often disrupting meetings, churches, etc and getting arrested. It is called Femen and the gals usually are pretty hot. It is lead/created by a man. An odd situation and way to protest the male hierarchy.

No joke, sort of like these PETA protesters:

Because you can't get men servants pregnant. Believe me, I know. And I expect to be waited on generally because I'm a member of a superior nation. You wouldn't understand, coming from a bunch of mongrels and peons.

Inbreeding has served your royalist class so well over the years hasn't it Shreddi?

Exactly.

And they clearly don't need any more help demonstrating their own obsession with labeling, grouping, and denigrating. :-X

No, of course not and why do you keep obsessing over men vs. women here?
...
Why would you ask "why", when it never even happened?

I have contributed about 4 posts.
1.  Appreciating Trump's haircut.
2.  Appreciating self-defense weapons.
3.  Lightening up uncivil debate with descriptions of the Trump White House china.
4.  A mistakenly placed praise for a former president.

I would hardly call appreciating Trump's haircut an obsession over men vs. women.  Women raise men; men have daughters.  If you think I obsess over "vs. men", you should consider how I feel about the women who raise them or marry them just for a paycheck.

As far as asking if this thread is just for men, I was merely asking, because I wasn't sure if a woman would be welcome during discussion (at the time) regarding the thoughts of grouped men regarding the mostly 30-year ago sex appeal of the following women:  Minako Honda, Jan Kuehnemund, Joan Jett, The Go-Gos, Wendy Wilson, Susana Hoffs, Ann Wilson, Jane Weidlin, Belinda, The Spice Girls, and Cindi Lauper.

Whoa horsie!

Praise as you see fit, if this thread can cross rails over to pop stars then your praise for Obama is no drift-penalty flag in my book.

You just have to expect that the conservatives here are going to volley back with verve!

As for Trump's haircut, less squirrel is more better, etc. ;)

Btw, perhaps I was wrong and Shreddi is male - though one can never really trust an avatar anyway...

No I was referring to your question on how many women there are here. If you've been around for as long as your profile states you ought to know there are plenty of women in bellgab.

In fact some have dropped off that would be good to see back like bell'n whistle.

Well, I'm more interested in the men.  Regarding her, though, 60 really is the new 40.  Do you think righteousness glows?  She is radiant, but I didn't see any public philanthropic causes.  Maybe it's all those vegetarian vegetables!

Since you brought that dietary thing up...

Wow! That’s such a nice compliment. Well, I was a dancer when I was a young girl, so, early on, I fell in love with the physical connectedness you experience when you dance or play sports as a kid. Through the years, I became addicted to that feeling. One of the things I loved about dancing was that it was always done in conjunction with music. And when I went to UC Berkeley, I was in the dance company. I’ve continued to be physically active all these years, but now I just stay in shape by walking. The lines have blurred between walking for exercise and walking for peace of mind. I love to be outdoors and it always grounds me, literally, just feeling my feet on the ground, breathing fresh air, looking at flowers, seeing the world. It makes me feel relaxed and ready for the day. I’m religious about it. I’ve joked with friends who have asked me about getting in shape that the best diet in the world is having a great audiobook that you are only allowed to listen to it while you’re walking or exercising. I also believe in eating healthfully, whatever that means for you. But be mindful of how and what you eat â€" don’t eat when you watch TV. Eating whole foods whenever possible is a really good idea, too

No, over the lightbulb thing.  Americans erroneously give credit to Edison, but Davy invented a bulb much earlier.  Edison got the patent.

Correct, and before that:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sheryl-crow-sounds-off-09-01-2003/

She graduated from the University of Missouri in voice and piano, and moved to St. Louis, where she was teaching in an elementary school when fate, disguised as a McDonald's burger commercial, beckoned.

"It wound up going network, which is national. It lasted for about a year, and I made about $40 grand. And I was making about $17 grand teaching for a year, and that was 45 minutes of work. I thought, 'Wow! This is amazing. Maybe I can do it in LA.'"

With a beat-up car and $10,000 in her bank account, she headed for California. Within a matter of months she was traveling the world, playing packed stadiums, singing back up for Michael Jackson.

You not getting mixed up with the Davy Lamp? He was a brilliant man but I'm not sure the bulb was his invention. There were patent squabbles over the lamp but not with Edison.
