Why they get insulted when called a Negroid, or Congoid?

[FLEKTARN]

I am not a nationalist, nor a supremacist or right-wing. I have my own opinion and my own viewpoints in life. But could not help but wonder something, because I recently I saw something very disturbing. In my country, we call Africans — Negers. That was the word for thousands of years and we won't change it now.

For the sake of the international "correctness", I substituted Neger with Negroid or a Congoid, when I address the Negers.

What happens now is — I get called a Nazi, and a Hitlerjugend.

I really don't see where the big deal is, because Caucasian people are called Caucasoids, police banter over the radio will often resonate like "White caucasian male, 35, turning right next to Jefferson Blvd, etc..."

And if somebody is to call me a Caucasian, or "Hey, Caucasoid!" — I wouldn't take an offence. I'll smile and say "What's up."

Not to mention first introduced in early racial science and anthropometry, Negroid denoted one of the three purported major races of humankind (alongside Caucasoid and Mongoloid). It is still being used in literature and racial science.

They say they're "Proud and Black," but they take an insult every single time. What a bunch of nonsense and high snowflakery. If a Negroid or Congoid is an insult, then Caucasian should be too. Somebody calls me a white Caucasian male, I should have the means to sue him/her.

I don't know what "WAFTM" is, but I googled it, and the first result I got was some Arabic shit (an Arabic video in YouTube). You're Arab?

its not so much the word

as the meaning behind the word...

nigger which is of course the American version...of negro....

was used for many years as a weapon... it was cruel and disparaging and meant to keep them down...

where as Caucasian is a new word and I have never seen it used for the same purpose as nigger..

a lot of bitterness is attached to those words flek.. a lot of history none of it good..

why dont you take that on board and let the past remain in the past......it most certainly [imo] was nothing for us caucasians to be proud of..

you wish to change the world.....first change yourself...

I don't think I need to change much in that direction. And maybe you didn't thought it throughly. Have you ever listened to rap? They sing "Nigga I'm gonna bust a cap in yo ass. Nigga I'm ballin. Nigga I'm the mothafuckin king. Nigga up in this bitch."

There's even a song by Eazy-E called Niggaz with Attitude. So they can call themselves like that, but we can't? I sure never enslaved no one. So it's them who is racist?

rap is not exactly world changing is it?

You're missing on the whole point. How many clues do you want. They're black, yes, but they're calling themselves niggas. If it's such an INSULTING word and action, to speak to one such, why are they not bitchin about that. A derogatory term is a derogatory term, right?

If I call another Bulgarian "a Mongoloid gypsy" he magically should not be insulted JUST because I'm Bulgarian or what?

Nonsense.

no pet its you thats missing the point..


it is A>OK for a black person to use the N word...no matter how you chose to spell it..

they can even talk like Uncle Tom.....

but all hell lets lose when a white person does the same.....so dont do it if you value your life..

it is a voice within a voice if you like......when slavery was the norm in Amerika they called all blacks niggers.. mainly hang the nigger....it was cruel and used in a terrible way... AND YES THEY RESENT A WHITE PERSON USING IT>>

AND I DONT BLAME THEM.. the word is tainted with so much misery.

I trust you will take that on board.... it is more than name calling....it is more than insulting.

But Bulgarians never owned slaves. And negers in Bulgaria were never oppressed. And negers in Bulgaria are mostly from Nigeria and Congo. They aren't coming from slavery. There is no slavery in Nigeria right now. So?
