Any I love New York fans out there? Remember when that guy from central america called New York "bonita negrita" which meant "black and beautiful"? She threw a fit and sent his ass home that night. Even though her Spanish speaking "servant" tried to talk her out of it, saying "this is a huge compliment where we are from" she said "nu-uh, he said the n word, his ass is OUTTA HERE!"

Despite the obscure reference to a horrible show that I happened to watch because I was bored with my life, not if you're speaking English. The connotation of the word is different depending on the language.

my point was the impact of it even being mentioned, no matter the context which in this case, seemed to me like one of the most acceptable connotations
Its so damn easy. Its the same premise of not greeting people and saying "Hi big guy". Maybe they will get offended, and maybe they wont...but at some point, you're gonna get a punch in the face.
I remember a friend doing it at a gas station. Fill it up big guy!
I was amazed we didnt drive away with diesel in the tank instead of gas.
My point is, a phrase doesnt even have to be that bad to offend people...so just use the ones that dont...and negro, is certainly one that might offend...bordering on probably will every single time.
Just because sam jackson makes it sound cool as hell...does not mean you can.
I'm Spanking Monkey now....err...I mean I'm a Spanking Monkey now...that shoots milk Too much. I know.
People call me big guy all the time when they don't know my name, because I'm built like a linebacker. I was unaware that I should have been offended at this.
Also, a lot of my black friends call me big guy too, and not in the sarcastic way. Am I completely missing something here?
First hit on urbandictionary:
big guy 56 up, 9 down love it hate it
An informal way of greeting a man or boy. Usually it's friendly and complimentary.
It sometimes has a sarcastic tone, implying it's time to take him down a notch.
Hey there, big guy, you and me gonna drink some beers or what?
(sarcastic)
Hey big guy, watch where you put that thing.

Maybe if it was a fat person it would make more sense. That's how I read it, at least.

Let's stop dwelling on the analogy, I'll just make a better one. It would be somewhat like going up to a random woman and saying "what's up, bitch." It's stupid, don't do it.
But how else are we going to thoroughly derail another race baiting thread? Frigidus, you were doing so well. Please, give us more analogies to argue about, since the topic of this thread has been hashed out and misinterpreted so many times it's more fun to just derail this sort of thing.

race baiting? rather just a simple question. Its a reflection of a real discussion taking place in real time in the media outlets.

Trent Lott should step down for what he said
You call it racebaiting, I call it hypocrites on parade

All right, here's a poor comparison to pick apart: it is just as bad as spitting in a black guy's face.

Pulling a Bill Romanowski.
Imagine being in a orgy with him. He'd break your wiener off in the middle of the pile
One time I was with Brasky in the back of a pickup truck, along with a live deer. Brasky goes up to the deer and says, 'I'm Bill Brasky! SAY IT!' Then he manipulates the deer's lips in such a way as to make it say, 'Billbrasky' ... It wasn't exactly like it, but it was pretty good for a deer!

Bill Brasky once showed me a video of him making love to my wife, and it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw!
