myss911 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I don't think it is jest if it is used in a negative way. But I do know that the folks out here will say things like "what up N" and stuff like that... I am in California as is James, so what I am saying is that he may have used it in the form mentioned above. I would never use the word as I don't agree with what it means or how it has been used in the past. If you read my post it stated that he may have used it in the tense of "Homie" "Dude" "Bro" or whatever... it is used all the time here, I don't agree with it in any shape, way or form, but I did not see the clip (if anyone has it I'd like to see it) so I cannot say if he was saying it in a derogatory way or if in jest...

chris1710 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Yeah, I did hear him say the "N" word while talking in the backyard with Ryan and Adam. Of course Ryan was not going to say anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myss911 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Chris, do you have the clip or know where I could see it? If he said that word to be nasty he will have demolished my support of him in the game. What were they talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tan2relax Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Did ya notice that Chelsia had a red streak in her hair last night, I thought that it showed they had a united front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBinSavannah Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 The only way to use the N word is in a negative way. I can't see any positives regarding the N word, no matter how people try and justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadyAlaska Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 i believe james told adam and ryan if they hear anything to come get him they should "N_____ Knock" on his door if they have too i honestly dnever heard that phrase before but it did kinda sound racist and no one dwelled on it like it was every day convesation i don't ever use that word because i know how many people take sooo much offense to it but i don't really understand why it's only a word an old out dated word at that that most black people use often to try to desensitize it which is why we hear more and more white kids using it in a slang way, i don't think we really should be making a big deal outta it i'm all for judging some one by their actions and not by a silly word that comes from their mouth in the moment with that said i do beleive it was inipropriate and he'll get back lash for it, altho he did seem a little toung tied last night he kept saying that they need to disagree to agree (but i believe the phrase is agree to disagree he kept saying it backwards it was driving me crazy) so maybe he meant nothing by it and it was some slang he heard and it just slipped out either way like i said he will get back lash for it if he meant it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1710 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I taped it on my vcr but I'm not computer savvvy enough to post it ( heck, Im still using dial-up lol ). But they were in the backyard smoking after Chelsia passed out and while talking strategy, James said the "N" word emphasis on the "er" part not "gga" as used in slang ( which by the way is no better in my mind ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatcat Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I lived in LA back in the 70's for about 8 yrs and I do know that some of my black friends used that word among thenmselves BUT they were very picky about who and what white people used that term, like sayin "N please "and stuff, even if you were great friends you really had to know who and what friend you could say that too, and I don't think it is too much different today. And today living in the midwest and having lots of African American friends I rarely hear that term being thrown around. I work in the restaurant business and we are always kiddin around and I just never hear it. In fact I have a really good friend who was brought up down in a little small town, and she is 40 yrs old( I am older than her) and I about died a few yrs back when she dropped the N bomb when we were visiting her folks, I said something to her, and she acted surprised that it bothered me, well shows you where she was brought up around no African Americans they threw that word around a lot, it really turns me off, so I did not hear James say it, but if he did and was using it in jest why did he wait till Parker was gone, just sayin I do not like hearin the word used ever.

chris1710 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Oh, and shadyalaska, no disrespect but if it is just a stupid word, please go to a town that has a majority of african american citizens and use it for a whole day while talking to them and see if people give you a warm reception. I would suggest you wear some track shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myss911 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I totally understand that Chris, I too am not savvy in the computer department. I agree that it is innappropriate to use the word, which is why I have stated that in my last two posts. I was merely asking in what context he used it. My neighbors, use the phrases as I mentioned in above posts in every other sentence and I just shake my head in disbelief each and everytime... And thank you Alaska and Chris for clarifying how it was used. I think he thought he was being 'slick' which in actuallity just made him look like a dweeb. I am not sure how to quote another post so I'll just have to do it this way... "i don't ever use that word because i know how many people take sooo much offense to it but i don't really understand why it's only a word an old out dated word at that that most black people use often to try to desensitize it which is why we hear more and more white kids using it in a slang way, i don't think we really should be making a big deal outta it i'm all for judging some one by their actions and not by a silly word that comes from their mouth in the moment" As posted by Alaska... THANK YOU! That was exactally my point. It is used sooooo often here by fellas walking down the street talking to their friends or greeting someone with whom they are friends with etc... which is why I was curious as to how he used it...

Jem Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2wjR8Cuzjw The word shouldn't be used IMHO, but the context that it was used by James was as follows:"Just Fucking n** knock on my door, just bang on it if you've got to."In reference to Ryan waking him up and talking about Nominations. James was wasted, I doubt he even remembers he said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myss911 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thank you Jem:) What a dweeb he is... I have never heard that phrase, makes no sense to me. I have hear people use the term when they are talking about rigging something but I never understood what that meant either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1710 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Yeah, I don't know. I'm just a person who does not use any language that I feel is disrespectful to other ethnicities. I don't even use the Washington pro football teams mascot name, I just say Washington. I'm just a bleeding heart I guess. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myss911 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Nothing wrong with that at all, I stand behind you on that issue. But I will say that Washington pro football teams name, I never thought of it in that way... LOL! Now I will be second quessing myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Yeah, I don't know. I'm just a person who does not use any language that I feel is disrespectful to other ethnicities. I don't even use the Washington pro football teams mascot name, I just say Washington. I'm just a bleeding heart I guess. lol Wow I live in Indian territory and the Native Americans have no problem with it. Palm Springs Indians is our High School team. My boyfriend is half Indian and he has no problem with it. Redskins is OK too. Most Native American people have a sense of humor and don't mind Indian or Redskin.

chris1710 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 That's cool Marty, but for me personally I choose not to use it. It's up to every individual to choose what they are comfortable with and for me, I'm not comfortable using that term. To each their own but if consequences come to people who use certain terms, that is something they'll have to deal with, just like Adam who works with people who have autism yet he felt comfortable using another term to label them as.

ShadyAlaska Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 no no disrespect meant either and i know better then to throw that word around , it just another dirty word in my book (altho one i know never to use) i cuss when i feel it's apropriate (mostly in the cumfort of my own home at the TV) i dunno tho i don't think james meant any harm by it but it wasn't very pc of him and like some one else posted i heard the term "N Rigg" or as we ussually say to "Jerry Rigg" it but i never heard of "N Knock" at all i dunno what that even means heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
