i see why so many of you are with cause you all want him to go down town!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now this is truly racist and hatred. This is what you should be protesting to Sam about and how it looks to the outsiders coming here.
If you can stand there and tell me that illegal immigration articles are more offensive than this garbage above by Juwil.. then like I said
something is wrong with this picture.
Unless one has a crystal ball, you have no way of knowing what the intent was. At best it is mere speculation. Someone bringing Articles about illegal immigration to the board is not a crime.
4Now, you are late. Many of us already jumped all over this post. Sam replied that racial slurs are not against the rules of this forum
, pretty sad in my opinion.
No I am not late Proud. this posted after that discussion. This is not the post that you guys replied about. After Sam said it did not violate the rules, Juwil went on to make a thread with this in it. this was just yesterday. And this is just going to be the tip of the iceberg. EXplora and others would be all over this if she was using the term wigga or whigga or wetbacks. People this fight should be about equal rights not just a select few
This language is offensive to all. Boycotss as such should certainly not be about some territorial discussion thread issue that appears to be a personal problem between two individuals on who can post in a thread.(And yes, this is the real reason, and since Explora has no control over who can post in that thread, Plan B is search and destroy to ban so that person will not even be an issue.) Extremely transparant to those viewing.
Besides, it sickens me to think that some of you would boycott just to get your own way. This is not what I call teamwork or positive group effort. Questions still need to be answered for posters. People did the same thing to E, but when everybody went away, E faithfully stayed and answered posters questions. He wasnt so bad afer all. And he was the first to bring all the anti illegal articles to ILW. and flood the board. and he was not against illegal immigration, he simply wanted to have a discussion about it to try to sway people to accept illegal immigration.
Please everybody do something worthy if you are going to protest and protest over something of substance. this site should add no rascist name calling of ethnic groups or whites. We never had this type thing on the board in the last 4 or 5 years. Everyone has had respect for various ethnicities.
Or let the words that are considered obsene be updated on the list of Sam's to include all of the below.
This is what wikipendia considers slur
List of ethnic slurs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A slur can be anything from an insinuation or critical remark to an insult. The following is a list of ethnic slurs that are, or have been, used as insinuations or allegations about members of a given ethnicity or to refer to them in a derogatory (critical or disrespectful), pejorative (disapproving or contemptuous), or downright insulting manner in the English-speaking world. For the purposes of this list, a slur is a term or word[s] used to insult on the basis of race, ethnicity, or nationality. Each term is listed followed by its country or region of usage, a definition, and (where applicable) a reference to that term.
Quite a few ethnic slurs may be produced by combining a general-purpose insult with the name of ethnicity, such as "dirty Arab", "dirty Jew", "Chinese pig", "Russian pig", etc. Other common insulting modifiers include "dog", "filthy", etc. Such terms are not included in this list.

0-9
5 and 2 / 5 by 2 / 4 by 2 / 3 by 2
(England) Cockney rhyming slang for a Jew. Originated in the early 1900s.[1]
A
Abbie / Abe / Abie
a Jewish male. From the proper name Abraham. Originated before the 1950s.[2]
ABCD
(Subcontinentals in U.S.) "American-Born Confused Desi" used for American-born South Asians who are confused about their cultural identity. Often used by ABCDs about other ABCDs. ABCD is the most common version of the phrase, but there are variations of it that extend all the way to the letter 'z' in at least two different versions: "American Born Confused Desi, Emigrated From Gujarat, House in Jersey, Kids Learning Medicine, Now Owning Property, Quite Reasonable Salary, Two Uncles Visiting, White Xenophobia Yet Zestful" and "American Born Confused Desi, Emigrated From Gujarat, Housed In Jersey, Keeping Lotsa Motels, Named Omkarnath Patel, Quickly Reached Success Through Underhanded Vicious Ways, Xenophobic Yet Zestful"[3]
Abo / Abbo
(AUS) Australian Aboriginal person. Originally, this was simply an informal term for "Aborigine", and was in fact used by Aboriginal people themselves until it started to be considered offensive in 1950s. In remoter areas, Aboriginal people still often refer to themselves (quite neutrally) as "Blackfellas" (and whites as "Whitefellas"). Although "Abo" is still considered quite offensive by many, the pejorative "boong" is now more commonly used when the intent is to deliberately offend, as that word's status as an insult is unequivocal.[4]
Adolf / 'Dolf
(U.S. and Commonwealth) Germans, referring to Adolf Hitler[citation needed]
Afro-Saxon
(North America) A young white male devotee of African-American pop culture.[5]
Alabama Blue Gums
(U.S.) a black person.[6][7][8]
Albino
(U.S. Blacks) whites, also a derogatory term for light skinned blacks used by darker skinned blacks.[9] (see colorism)
Alligator bait
(U.S.) also "Gator Bait." A black person, especially a black child. More commonly used in states where alligators are found — particularly Florida. First used in the early 1900s, although some hypothesize the term originated in the late 1800s.[10]
Alter kacker / alter kocker (Yiddish) / alter kucker / A.K.
(North America) a disparaging term for elderly Jewish people. The term is of Yiddish origin (literally meaning old ****ter). First used in the early 1900s.[11]
Ami
(Germany) American. Formerly specifically for American soldiers, now for Americans in general.[12]
Angie
(Quebec English) Anglophones in Canada.[13]
Anglo
(U.S.) Any white (northern-western European) person, regardless of whether he or she has English ancestry. This term is most often used by Hispanics and Italian Americans and often is not meant to be offensive.[14] However, it has the potential to be offensive when used to refer to someone of Irish ancestry, due to their discrimination they encountered from the English in Ireland, and the English and German Protestants in America.
Anglo-pilferer
An Anglo-Australian possibly of convict lineage. Based on the belief that all Anglo-Australians are descended from convicts. Particularly offensive.[15]
Ann
A white woman to a black person — or a black woman who acts too much like a white one. While Miss Ann, also just plain Ann, is a derisive reference to the white woman, by extension it is applied to any black woman who puts on airs and tries to act like Miss Ann.[16]
Antique Farm Equipment/Outdated Farm Machinery
(U.S) a Black person; slaves were mostly used for farming.[13][17]

As dry as a pommy's towel
(Australia) very dry. Pommy=Englishman. Possibly from the perception that Englishmen do not bathe very often, or less likely from the popular belief that Englishmen don't sweat.[21]
Aunt Jemima / Aunt Jane / Aunt Mary / Aunt Sally / Aunt Thomasina
(U.S. Blacks) a black woman who "kisses up" to whites, a "sellout", female counterpart of Uncle Tom.[22]
B
Beaner
(U.S.) term widely regarded as derogatory, that refers to people of Mexican descent or, more broadly, mestizos.[23][24][25] The term originates from the prevalence of frijoles pintos and other beans in Mexican food.[25][26]
According to The Historical Dictionary of American Slang, the word was first seen in print in 1965, although the term has reportedly been in use at least since the 1940s (perhaps having evolved from previous slurs such as "bean-eater" and "bean-bandit" that were in use since as far back as the 1910s.)[23]
Although the word is generally considered pejorative, its usage is not always overtly offensive and can be fairly benign depending on the context (similar to the term "frog" for a French person.) Though perhaps once considered strictly offensive, it appears that the term may be going through a phase of melioration, where the negative connotation of an ethnic slur is "reclaimed" by those it is directed against and used in a neutral or even positive manner.[23]

From bung, to go bung "Originally to die, then to break down, go bankrupt, cease to function [Ab. bong dead]".[32] Highly offensive. [First used in 1847 by JD Lang, Cooksland, 430][33]
Boonga / boong / bunga / boonie
(New Zealand) a Pacific Islander [alteration of boong].[34]
Bounty Bar
A bounty, being composed of coconut coated with chocolate, is white on the inside and brown on the outside. As with wigger, this is a both a subcultural and ethnic slur. The immediate target is denigrated for having the cultural values of a different ethnic group, with the implication that that ethnic group is bad or inferior. Coconut and Oreo are used in the same way.[35]
Brownie
(U.S.) a. a person of mixed white and black ancestry; a mulatto. b. (U.S. black) a young, brown-skinned person 1940s-1950s[36]

The NHL's Vancouver Canucks use this name as a nod to the popular nickname.
CBCD

Chee-chee
a Eurasian half-caste [probably from Hindi chi-chi fie!, literally, dirt][43]
Chinaman
(Worldwide English) Chinese person, used in old American west when discrimination against Chinese was common.[44] The term generates controversy when still used in geographic places associated or resembling Chinese. Though it is still heard in the lyrics to the 70s song "Kung Fu Fighting", it tends to generate objections in modern times, especially in the US. Asian-American is the preferred nomenclature. See Chinaman (disambiguation) for other uses.

Guk is from the Chinese word guo, which means country. “Hanguk†refers to Korea[76] and “miguk†is the common word for the United States.[77] American troops thought "miguk" sounded like "me gook" (i.e. "I am a gook").[citation needed] The word persisted during the Vietnam War, perhaps also because the Vietnamese people have a similar word “quốcâ€, meaning "country". "Gook" was also used by white soldiers in Africa to designate enemy insurgents.[78]

These groups (consisting of Mzilikaze, Matiwani, Mantatisi, Flingoe, Hottentot, and Xhosa peoples inhabited the region from the Cape of Good Hope to the Limpopo river) fought the British in the Kaffir Wars 1846–1848, 1850–1852, and 1877–1878.)[107][108] See also Kaffir (Historical usage in southern Africa)

It is often used irreverently and is usually considered offensive.
