| 4. | nigger | ||
|
A word in the urban dictionary whose tags and definitions out-number the definitions listed for its antonymic counterparts (e.g., honkey, cracker, devil, blue-eyed demon, rapist of cultures, etc.,) because the group of people they are making an attempt to distinguish are not so full of hate as to sacrifice time, energy, thought, and attention to defining, or developing, a concept that ironically defines who and what THEY are.
"The American people have always been anxious to know what they shall do with us... I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm-eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! ... And if the negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone! ... your interference is doing him positive injury." ~Frederick Douglass Kramer’s use of the word “nigger”, during his show, infallibly described his level of poise, tact, composure, professionalism, and integrity with his response to the hecklers in the audience.
Red Neck in Pick-up truck: Go back to Africa niggers! Passerby1: Who are they talking to? The blacks in the Mercedes, or amongst themselves? Passerby2: I don't know. I can't tell which is which. |

slander campaigns hate buckets jealousy fear torment slurrs negative attention looking for love in all the wrong places vanity racism violence most sales tact to gain a profit margin is a positive sounding idea, but could lead the consumer to a negative out come for their budget if they truly cannot afford the overhead of the product they are being sold. Which in the end does nothing for either the consumer or marketer and causes a negative relationship in the end. Another words, You reap what you sew and you will see in heaven what you wish for on earth. J: what are you doing to my head you crazy preachin' woman?
Peachy: Trying to save your darn relationship with your wife and children. remember why you loved and created the family you did. Your relationship needs some positive re-inforcement before it all slips away and the children are hurt. Seen it one too many times even in my own life. P1: Why won't you just buy what I'm selling you. you know you NEED this. Smartartded P2: No, really I don't. Can't afford it. It will cause damage to some ones feelings and is really not my idea of faith before fury. Do you know me at all or do you go by the idea in your own head to help you sleep at night? Market: Buy, buy, buy, sell, sell, sell,....!!! Get money, play honey, and earn my nuggets! Smart consumer: Your in desperate need of some Positive re-inforcement in your tact partner;) Looks aren't every thing, connection and personal relationships that are not just profitable marginal are! |
