Racist and bigot aren’t we all. You’re just not bold enough to admit it. Trying to keep your politically correct status and that squeaky clean persona.
I say what I think and take from personal experiences to make my case for my opinions.
1. Looking past the race, nationality and gender is difficult in many situations. I’m almost sure that many of you who called me a racist have used the slang word right after MF to describe a person of a different race or nationality in a few situations in your bubble boy life. Knee jerk reaction or inter feeling? Feeling taught or expressed by family member or friends or even learned by personal experiences. It happens...
2. Never in your life used slang words to describe nationalities? Maybe that protected box you live in you’re clueless to what is the slang for some nationalities. I’m sure Upper can fill you in ….Am I correct Upper?
3. Let not forget the gender bigotry ……Boobs and Booty Thread “What to bang that shit”
I would have to say if you are guilty of any two of the above please delete your racist and bigot comment about me because you are no different from me …Racist and bigot aren’t we all.
Christmas is the time of year when Christians celebrate the Birth of Christ in short a Christian Holiday. The retail profiteering has diminished the Christmas to the point of tell their workers that Merry Christmas is not politically correct and the usage of other more pleasing slogan is required. Why because the other non-Christian will be offended.
I’m sorry but why should Christian compromise their belief and the traditions, songs and symbols of Christmas. Why should I have to alter traditions for being a Christian, if the other spiritual groups want to pile onto Christmas then live with the traditions of a Christian Christmas. I will not waver this is a Christian Holiday show me the manger, play those Christian Worship Song and the Merry Christmas banner. Also after the purchase of gifts to be put under the Christmas tree is made a Merry Christmas is in order clerk person.
Hanukkah ….Happy Hanukkah and a Happy Hanukkah to you.
I would venture to say that 60% of the people that replied this way have no clue and could not shed any light to what Hanukkah is, nor the important meaning behind Hanukkah. To those of you that are Jewish does that not offend you? It like they are mocking you. I do know the important of the event and respect the tradition from the 19th to the 25th. Problem is my savior is born and has come yours has not. Maybe I should show a little more respect and say Merry Hanukkah…what do you think?
Hey! I do have a question for the Jewish population on the Freehuddle and I’m serious about this. You guys give out nine days of gifts ….right?
Do you send nine packages to one kid of an underprivileged country or do you even have programs like that at the Temple?
Kwanzaa ……This has been dump somewhat…….. Sorry bro it is now Ok celebrate Christmas.
Ragheads …. The Religion of peaces ….my ass
If you want to talk about women and baby killers …….. Strap a bomb to a handicap kid and send him to the market. That the Religion of Peace.
My squad and I saved more lives ………..but you think what you want. So you're saying all American Soldier are baby killer or just Vietnam? Please clarify
Why do some of you only relate intelligence to spelling and grammar?
Are you not educated in the knowledge of general intelligence and multiple intelligence?
Based on many of your comments and your narrow mindedness of spelling and grammar equals intelligences I would say you’re an idiot.
1. I'm bold enough to admit I've said things in my time that could DEFINITELY be taken as racist and bigoted. I spent nearly my entire "growing up" years in a predominantly white, small-town community. While the prejudice might have been subtle, I still grew up around it and it did rub off on me. College changed that (a two-year roommate of mine was Palestinian; a great guy who was gifted with enough patience to not beat my ass down and instead became a great friend who I learned a lot from and vice versa). If me disclosing that causes anyone to think less of me, so be it. I've learned a lot through life and changed a great deal since I was younger.
2. As to the Christian Christmas thing.....one thing I've always been amused by is the fact that no one knows when Jesus was supposedly actually born, but CHRISTmas (Dec. 25) is HIS day. To simply quote a Wiki snippet (not saying it's 100% for real, but to bring out another reason why Xmas is a Christ thing): "It is believed that Christmas' date was chosen to take advantage of the imperial holiday of the birth of the Sun God Mithras, more specifically Sol Invictus, which coincided with the "return of the sun" after the shortest day of the year. According to this theory, the reason was to replace the popular pagan holiday with a Christian celebration of holy communion. For example, the Catholic Encyclopedia states: "Natalis Invicti, celebrated on 25 December, has a strong claim on the responsibility for our December date."
Hmmmm.....replacing a pagan holiday with a Christian one.....that's NEVER happened! While not religious, I have no issues with those who are (my relationship with my mother would take a hit if I did). I do have issues with the concept that your religion created all these holidays and whatnot, though, as they tend to be Christian takes on "pagan" holidays.
