[quote=GentlemanJon][quote=DatDrummerGuy]He's not indentified only by being black, it's just an element of the comparison used between him and STAR_, which to me is originally pretty meliorative. It's like calling someone "the white Ray Charles", you know. Calling someone black, white, whatever isn't racist, you're not implying anything. It's just a part of them who describes them as a person, and differentiates them from the people they're being compared to. Like if I were the best at TF2, people would call me "the french b4nny".

Fuck, this made sense in my head but I can't explain it.[/quote]
Well in this case you have a black person telling you that it is a problem for them. I'm not sure how much more information you need, maybe I'm missing something myself and I'm asking the wrong questions. I think there's more at work here than you think though.[/quote]

I'm not telling him not to have a problem with that, he does and thinks whatever he wants. I'm just saying I don't think calling someone the "black ster" is inherently racist.

Look I'm tired of seeing a chain of white people still justifYing how a slur isn't bad. Who ever unlocked this thread is playing Devils advocate straight up

If you're talking about me, how is "black" a slur?

Can we just not associate people's skin color to their personalities? Just show a shred of decency and respect and avoid talking about race since it's a touchy subject.
Also wtf shrugger
