once again, not "supposed" to respond. there is no "proper" way to respond and i don't want you to flip my words to make it sound as if i am imposing my morals on you, i'm just suggesting a more rational method of response to make these threads not only less emotional, but more productive.

here, in case you can't find it:

Quote (eboyd)
Unless the black race either gets true equality with the white race or gains power over all races like white people have today, which I hope never happens because we need to put an end to the power struggle already, black people will never emancipate themselves from the word "nigga" because it is used to counteract "nigger" and it is very powerfully expressive in that it is the black way of segregation. Whites segregated blacks for several years, to different degrees and for different lengths of time depending on the country you refer to. "Nigga" is a word blacks and whites both know white people can't use because if they do they will have an angry mob chasing them. The word itself is a form of power. It is the power that blacks, especially those still bitter over racism, use as the only power they have over whites. A racist white corporation owner can flex his power without saying a word. He just puts blacks in either the most demeaning or lowest paying jobs, but the black man holds one thing over him that he cannot touch and that's the word "nigga."

Quote (Menace)
this is pure BULLSHIT if the word itself is POWER then i will hang myself today the WORD doesn't bring money in our pockets the word has no material value this thing is strictly social and it implies INEQUALITY for us Jews can use police state tactics to bring down their enemies nigga is a synonym for nigger inherently it's RACIAL even you admitted it's racial let's end this and be human beings among one other us as black folks and why the word NIGGA been merged in the popular ventricular and popular culture ? if Achtung Juden was used in the pop culture you would see raids from the Mossad all over Hollywood and yes this is really about POWER and power begins from below and from the way we interact whit each other

Quote (eboyd)
Menace, I do not appreciate your tone. You could have easily counteracted my opinion without calling it bullshit. Now, power doesn't equate to material. Let's get philosophical for a minute. What is power? Power doesn't necessarily mean that you have more of something than someone else and therefore have power in that sense. Power is one entity having leverage over another. Black people have leverage over white people with the word "nigga" because they allow themselves to say it but they do not allow whites to say it. They say it to each other, but white people are not allowed to say it to them and that creates a version of power, no matter how lame and nonsensical it is.

I didn't come here to "convert" anyone I came here to talk about hip hop. Then I come across all these threads demeaning what I believe. How the hell do you expect me to act. You get respect but I don't?
Kinda biased ennit?

DUDE You made this thread which has nothing with hip hop. You made the thread meaning you want to talk about it. Dont start crying now.

Crying. lol Yeah that's real good. You alright man, you alright.

I made the thread as an alternative to the 200 religion bashing threads. Not everybody in the world believes what the dominant viewpoint is here on RHHF. Maybe some new members would like to hear another side of things. So, I made the thread. What harm is one thread pro-God when you got a dozen others that are anti-God?

no problem 11thplague this section of the forum is dedicated to this kind of talk anybody is welcomed to post anything regarding religion , politics and such things and Pensmoke i think he didn't mean like why u create this he means you created it cause u wanted to talk about it so chill

LOL Come on, E. Now if I said something like that to Menace (for example)or any of these other cats on here how do you think they would respond?
You are right though, that is the proper way to respond.

Pensmoke stop jumping to conclusions he told me the word "nigga" is power that offended me i clearly will be pissed when somebody tells me racial slurs are words that empowers me but i always bash on Erik cause he is a backstreet boy so whatever

1.By saying I "don't concede" what I meant is that I am not taking back anything I said.

OK, then i will just have you know that you used the wrong word. no big deal. i do it from time to time too.

Quote (Pensmoke)
2.Who said I was "supportive of theocracy?" I said that just because the guys in the video were Christians and may be supportive of theocracy that doesn't mean the videos shouldnt be watched.

i misunderstood that. what do you support in that case?

Quote (Pensmoke)
3.Since when is "sodomizing" derogatory? Its an act. Just like drinking, jumping, sliding. Its a descriptive word describing an act. If it is found to be derogatory I will no longer use it here on these boards.

it's like when someone chooses to say "we were in an argument" instead of "we were debating." while similar, the latter implies that you were in a civilized disagreement with someone involving your intellect while the former implies that you were in an emotionally charged and uneducated dispute. "sodomy" is a term that has it's roots in the name Sodom which was the name of a biblical town that was destroyed by God because everyone that lived there was immoral. it is also used in reference to rapists in the legal system. the terms i proposed are much less morally specific. the best response, however, would have been if you didn't even make reference to sexuality. that is a very emotional and fallacious way to respond. instead you could have just left it at the fact that these people are homosexuals.

lol

btw, i didn't realize it on the other thread, but you misinterpreted my use of the term "power" there. i didn't mean "empowerment" in a positive sense, i meant power in the same sense that politicians/corporations impose their power on the masses.
