the "Come help a Nigger get elected" post brought a quick comment - this is in response - niggers and faggots and ... poor dorothy, o my!

i thot this comment should get it's own space since it is, in the end a whole new subject:

the comment linked to the below video about African Americans and the "n-word":

(i dont like that the faggot video at the bottom starts automatically and tried to look in the code to see if i could disable that but i didn't see it :( sorry about that - what if every vid on here started automatically?! it would be complete chaos!) so hurry down and push pause on the second video below then watch in the correct order....



first, an African-American take on the N word then second a Gay take on the Faggot-Word.



and that made me think of this video which i have been holding onto wondering when i could post it as well - about homos and the "other f-word":

Gay video from AfterElton.com

matt says : i have heard the word faggot at least once a month from the time i could understand english i'm sure. it totally doesn't bug me and i am one of the momos who have used the word as a "term of endearment" for other momos. i also dont usually blink when i hear it. it's something i hear so very often even now - it's sort of along the lines of the word "retard" - lot's of teens call each other that, as well as call each other fags. i don't think clamming up about will really help either. everyone gets tired really quickly when a group declares a word "of limits". it starts to fall under the heading of "politically correct" and that tends to make the more rebellious folks amongst us want to use it even more - gay or straight. well, i do agree with his end statement - "if you're going to be obscene, at least know what it means" :)

final thot - if you watched both vids... "well, some of us do act like... N at times..." "well, some of us DO act like faggots at times!" another difference is that many (not all) homos can "pass" for straight. some Americans of African descent have also "passed" but it is much more difficult because it does not just involve behavior (which is the number one give-away as to who is a homo) it also comes down to a simple issue of racial features that are easily perceived by the eye no matter how one were to act.

faggot is usually used to disparage any male who acts in a way that society, at this time, demes feminine - and i know we gays often do! and i think what some gay people want to transmit about using the word faggot is - "so - what's wrong with that?"! of course that would bring us into a whole new post about femme and butch gays... but alas that will be for another time. though it has entered onto my list of future posts ;)

and fag-hag, i stopped using because NO fag hag uses it in reference to any other fag-hag, and it is not appreciated by anyone... a lesson hard learned.
