Just thought it was interesting. Considering how upkept this place is, it's surprising.

Yeah I know. I was just messing with you.

Are cyclists one of gafs new hot buttons?

I think stupidity is the real hot button.

Lennon on Twitter would be interesting.

Think of all the past icons and famous people on twitter. Damn that would be interesting. Hitler, Elvis, Abe Lincoln..ect

So the Tour De France is like N****s in Paris?

ok..I feel moronic but wtf is this a reference too?

 

[Skellig Gra]

Nah, the real question is why the word 'nigger', in your described contexts, is always used with a severely negative connotation.


Answer that and then you are getting to the root of your question.

I'm not sure it can be used in a positive way. At the most it could be used in a neutral context as a derivative of the word Spanish word "negro" which just flatly means the color black. I can't envision a modern positive context to use the word.

I think in this case it's okay. Far better than how most rappers use the word.

I like to think he meant "constantly in danger of being murdered for no reason other than being what you are" which is very true

I think he's referencing the term rather than using the term, I think, y'dig? Ahhh...

This whole "cars vs bikes" argument can be summarized by a post I made a while back in another cycling thread:

As someone that bikes frequently to my campus, I can only say this: The only things as stupid and awful as a walking pedestrian are cyclists and cars. That's right, they are all assholes. Pedestrians never look/jay walk, cyclists ignore traffic laws, and cars act like they own the road. To summarize, I hate all forms of mobile human.

We should really just unite against all mobile humans. Bunch of pretentious jerks.
