Was just watching the earlier episodes of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the episode when Will and Carlton get arrested and they have an argument about whether it was just because they were black or not. Man I love this show, its one of those shows that you'd take a break from whatever you're doing if you see an episode is on.

And damn Jado, that's something man.

Boyfriend?

Just yesterday, my live-in GF and I got into a heated argument with some name-calling. She called me a "fucking nigger" a number of times. Not the first time and something she does to try to get under my skin when I've gotten her riled up. It doesn't work and just makes me think less of her.

Her intent doesn't give her any excuses tho and I've told her to stop that shit. I've also had to explain that casually saying nigger (eg. nigger please, nigger why are you up early) isn't funny or appropriate. She tries to be silly and feigns(?) ignorance about how I say it too. I very rarely say "nigga" nowadays and it just comes naturally from my growing up in the Bx amongst many black and Latino friends. I feel like coming from her it's also much worse because of her Mexican background (Native American/Spanish) vs. my Caribbean background (African/Spanish).

Definitely. Either she'll learn or it'll get worse.

Jado, I'm sorry but she's way out of line for all of that and you know it. She's likely going to keep saying it until you put your foot down and show her you're serious. That she continues to disrespect you speaks volumes about her.

It's none of my business, again I apologize but it bothers me how freely some people think they can use slurs without repercussions.

Yeah, it's definitely worse. She needs to learn her history (among other things).

Oh that's not ok at all.

Sit down and have a talk with her, if she's still stubborn about being an idiot then you've gotta make a choice.

Never let your girl disrespect you. Walk away before you're pushed away.

Sasuke's 11th hour heel turn was hilarious. Had Kakashi's "Dis nigga..." levels off the charts. lol

To Jado and Samara...It's not my place to say, but I would cut these people off. You shouldn't have to put up with someone disrespecting you like that.

He, like Beetle, had his own series at the start of the New 52. Also like Beetle, it was shit so they canned it. Now we're all just waiting for him to get tossed onto the Teen Titans or something.

Are we ok with being called nigger in any circumstance? 'Cause I wouldn't be ok with it, erotic or not.

Maybe because I was introduced to the word in my teens.

Slayven is an archive of comic book info and fuckery. His comment was hardening back to a thread about a dude who was getting called nigger in the sack.

Sasuke's just keeping it real brehs, he coulda been forgiven since this nigga just helped saved the world, but nah he's staying firm to his goals and raising the fist for revolution.

Fuck that new OP chapter though, just as those two get something done, Dofla goes and starts to whoop their asses again. I'm laughing at why he's a villain in the first place though, his dad wouldn't let him have slaves so he teaching the world pain. Lmfao wtf.

I'm not going to say that this thought can't be found in certain game-related controversies... but yeah.

Capcom about to make the gaming world implode.

Damn they doing magic by having an older female lead who isn't dolled up/waifu material. Naughty Dog woke up devs with TLOU. Made them not so scared to take risks and this is a risk that needs to be made and I'm happy as heck with that.

Capcom has my respect for this 100%.

I've said it before, but all those threads about Claire are fucking embarassing.

Agreed. She looks amazing to me and besides, it's just showing how superficial gamers can be. The focus is on her looks, not the games potential and hopes for it.

Sometimes I'm very rude, selfish, inconsiderate and short-temped and can see how I bring out the worst in someone. If I'm in a foul mood, she can't say two words to me. She says I talk down to her sometimes and believes I think I'm smarter than her. I sometimes smile and laugh a lot when she's frustrated with me (can't help it) and it drives her nuts.

You know when people on GAF say shit like "teen on XBL or woman on camera only did that to get the other person as angry as possible," this is one of those few cases where it's true. She knows about the racism-related stuff I read and we talk about it sometimes. She thinks it will make me as pissed off as I make her if she attacks something I care about.

But I still think she's fucked up. We did have a long talk a couple of months ago where I told her in explicit detail why I think she's racist, narrow-minded and lacking in a certain level of know-how. She's otherwise very quiet and nice, a lot more thoughtful/giving than I am. Better with kids (nephews) and my dog than anyone I know. Regardless, we've been together a long time (8 yrs?) and we have our issues with each other. Still figuring out where the future leads, if this will even work out.

Tuh, I wouldn't bone Claire so I probably couldn't get into playing as her.

I need my pro tags to look sexy. Go to my deviant art page if you need to see what I mean.
