I have a question.  Not that I'm trying to start anything but I'm just curious:  Why is it that fat joke/remarks/comments are off limits (for the most part, unless when cracking on one's self) on an WLS site, but the wide-spread use of the word "ni**er"  or variations of the word are more than acceptable on a "Black American Forum"?  

I mean, I could say, "***** please.  Shut da' fugg up!!"  but I couldn't say "Shut da fugg up, ya fat fugg!".

I know this may be a dumb question (I can already imagine some of the comments/ remarks..sheesh), but I'm curious about that. 

Hey, don't shoot the messenger..I'm just asking.

Prob has to do with a person's expierience. See you can call me fat because I have never been extremely big or suffered from any of the things I often see on the board..ie, not fitting into booths, airplane seats, or not getting opposite sex attention....things that seem to have really damaged some people. So I would not get offended and somebody else might.

Just like somebody on this board call me a nicca does not affect me. But someone of my grandmother's generation might be highly offended because they went through the struggle. That word might hold a power over them that thy are not comfortable with. It does not have that type of meaning for me.

Dedee,
Baby, i'm not talking about referring one's own fat arse or calling someone ugly who ain't.  I guess it is in how u say it.  Oh, and i'm glad ur in a better mood, babe. 

Now, don't get spanked, woman. lol
