This is something I've never understood either. If they think of themselves as "niggers", why is it wrong for me to refer to them as "niggers"? I know it used to be a derogatory term, but if they call themselves that, why can't I?
Yet black people run around calling each other nigger all the time. They even make songs about it. Shit, they call me nigger too. But God forbid if I use the term.

Would you mind explaining this to me, being a non native English speaker and all?
They don't, they call themselves nigg(as)...totally different. Quick answer, because white people are scared of black people and how they'll react - not that you are, but that's the reason it is now taboo to say it openly. It's masked under the PC reasons for not saying it, but it boils down to white people being scared of black people.
Ok, what I meant was why would black people get offended if I called them "niggers", or even "niggas" for that matter? They call themselves that all the time. Not that I fucking care how people label themselves, but if I refer myself as a lazy ass "limburger" (this is a stereotype in my country, and I do refer to myself as that, even though it's not true...well mostly ), why would I get offended if anyone else referred to me like that?
Midget, chink, spic, cunt, and any other word is used normally, except for nigger, because no one is scared of the reaction they'll get from midgets.
I'd be scared of that, did you notice their height? They'll headbut you straight in the dangly bits.

She's one to talk, money grabbing, gold hiding, plotting to overtake the world, hook nosed kike!
Christ she is so hot!
Quite. I'd bang her. And then, when she's asleep after two days and nights of hot passionate love, I'd go search her house for that Jew gold.

Seems like people should stop acting like the world is against them, or something. Unless of course it clearly is used in such a way. Why always assume the worst?
Because a term used by a member of the group that it is an insult against carries a different tone than it being used by a member outside of that group. In the former case, it is an indicator of "we." In the latter case, it is an indicator of "you" (or "they"). When someone in the group uses it, the trust dynamic is that it most likely isn't being used in a derogatory fashion. When someone outside the group uses it, the trust dynamic is that it is most likely is being used in a derogatory fashion. It's the same concept regarding terms of familiarity. The terms of endearment that your beloved can get away with calling you don't mean the same when coming from someone else.
It could mean the same, maybe the other person feels the same way about me as my girlfriend.
They tend to be regarded as sarcastic and/or condescending.
They could be. People should just relax about this stuff, I say. But I see your point.
When your beloved says, "Sweetie, honey, baby, pussycat," it doesn't mean the same thing as when the used car salesmen lets loose with that phrase.
Well, maybe not in your case, I'm fucking sexy yo! Great big belly and everything, a whole lotta love!
This is more easily seen in languages that have the formal and familiar versions of "you." The use of the familiar implies a social relationship. To get away with using "nigger" requires that a social background must be established to support the use of the word. It is difficult for someone outside the group to demonstrate that social background in general.
Hmm, yes. I think people should lighten up, in general. I also realize that due to the fact that most people think they're oh so important and special, that's not likely going to happen. Doesn't mean I'll stop crusading against it though. But point taken. People are prissy little bitches that should grow a pair and so assume the worst intentions of their fellow man. Nice. This all reminds me of a sketch by Chris Rock. I wanna meet the first white guy that has the balls to do this sketch:

Why? If someone called my girlfriend that, I'd ask them why they did that. Perhaps the reason why will make me pound his face in, but the mere act of calling her that wouldn't. Unless I was drunk, I don't, think clearly then.
I call my wife a variaty of names from time to time, everything from "pussycat" to "sugar baby" to "cunt". Rest assured, if any other man calls her that in front of me, I will pound the living hell out of him... except for the various gay men in our lives. Why is this concept so hard for you people to understand?
You people? Nice going you bigot!

Because it exposes it for what it is. Something the human species can easily do without.
Why do we let blatant racism run rampant here? Go take your KKK, white supremacism to some other forum.
But it's so much fun to tell people they're bigotted fuckwits and see them fly of the handle, all "I've got black friends!" like.

Actually, the way he put the map in his post (with the img [filename] /img command) should make it zoomable. The problem is that it's of a very low resoilution, so you can't really zoom in. I suggest uploading it in a much higher resolution, so the things on it can actually be made out.
Favor, can you make your map zoomable. I can't make out the details. You can do this by enclosing it in 'thumb' tags. Thanks.

Well, "Jew" isn't really a racial definition, now is it? Neither is "Christian" or "Muslim". I mean, is this a "Christian":
Or is this:

The resolution is irrelevant, it will scale automatically if you use the {img} {/img} (but with the right brackets) way to post a picture. So, make it high enough to easily read, and just upload it somewhere, the site will scale it automatically, and when you click on it it will jump to its original size. As you can see in my Message 267
I tried, it seemed to work in the preview then didn't work when i published it, I'll see if I can make it bigger. Its difficult because I am not sure how many pixels I have to work with on this site's page, and guessed a lower resolution to try for the 1st time. I'll try again, though my personal classification is very simialar to Stanley Garn (Thank you Coyote). thanks i had no idea about the "thumb" tags.
