I've been wondering, What's ok and what's not anymore...
I mean, im not TRYING to go around and insult people, or be racist or something. But I mean, can anything really be considered racist anymore?
I know me and my friends mess around and call eachother Honkey and Whitey and Cracker and what not, but we dont take offense to it. People of other races have called me Honkey and what not before, but I've never gotten offended by it. If anything the thing i'd be most offended by is people calling me a Polock, or a DP.
But the reason I bring this topic up is because im wondering about the term - and believe me when I say Im not racist in ANY way at all, and I dont mean to offend anyone, but recentley the term "Porch monkey" has come to my knowledge.
Now.. In my view, I've never considered it anything bad, and from what I hear, it is a derogatory term against black people, and I dont want to offend anyone in anyway shape or form, but is it really that bad?
To my knowledge it just means someone who is lazy, although it used to be a racial slur, and I understand that it USED to be an insult twards black people, but you dont hear it at all anymore, and the most common way its used is to describe a lazy person, not a racial slur against black people. So Is it really that bad anymore?
I mean.. Exspecially if you arnt using it to describe someone else, or a race. say if I perhaps, wrote "Porch Monkey 4 life" on something. Would it be really all that bad seeing as how Im not saying it to be racist or demean anyone else? (except perhaps myself) and everyone who even realizes what it says will probabley take it the same way I do?
and I do understand it was once an insult meant to demean an entire race, but now, if I said it, wouldnt it be considered somewhere along the lines of me calling myself a "wigger"??
Like I said.. Im not meaning to offend someone. Im just wondering.. So please dont reply with a whole 4 pages worth of "RACIST!!" remarks.. because thats not at all what im trying to get at with this.. Im just trying to clear something up before I go around with "Porch monkey 4 life" in big white letters on the back of my Jacket and look like a racist retard.
