Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2870063, member: 8215"] I agree that's not racist, but I also expect that that's not the type of interaction people are seeking to prevent. It might as well be a pet name. But I would still question whether using such terminology in an open environment, where others not privy to the relationship, may overhear it. My take on the difference between a white person calling a black person a "black c", and vice versa, is because there are still residual beliefs that white people are superior. And like I said earlier, people who have endured times where that mindset was the mainstream. As well as those in their lineage who have experienced the effects on these people. How many white people can say the same thing? That's the difference. With a white person calling someone a "black c", we simply don't know if it's intended as a genuine racial slur or not, where their is a genuine mindset of superiority, of putting the black person in their place because their kind do not deserve to walk the same path. And neither does the person who is on the receiving end, or those who may observe the interaction. [/QUOTE]
