racist


I'm not being racist...what do you want me to call black people? Colored? Or something worse? In all honesty i personally think "black" is the least racist because i feel "colored" is almost like you're acting overly cautious and actually makes it look like you think you're being racist...I, sir, am definitely not racist.

Seems a little extreme.
"Black" folks are not black, much as "White" folks are not white.
Let's all just hang on to reason and keep it real. Johnson is a "black" guy. Whatever. I'm a "white" guy. Lemme get all mad about it.

So calling somebody black when they are is racist to you? What do black people call black people? They usually call them "black" or a more racist word if they are "gangstaz"...IF, and i mean "IF, anybody takes offence to me using the word "black" that actually is black then please tell me and i will stop it...Anyway, back on topic.

No matter how many times I forget about this place, I always get dragged back.

I'm more than okay with that.

To this day I call the Infection Forms "Popcorn Shrimp."
Carrier Forms were "Balloon Animals Gone Horribly Wrong" later shortened to just "Balloons."

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

LMAO, this is a good topic. Because I remember calling the Elites "Big Guys."
That is what we called them when telling eachother what was up ahead.

...completely ignore this post, it was by accident...

Uhh...I was agreeing with you. Johnson could be called, "Sergeant hat guy," "Moustache guy," "Black guy..." All of these describe him. In a game where the Marines seemed to be primarily White, he became the "Black guy" for quickest identification. It has nothing to do with negativity. I don't understand how anyone could find that racist. (Other than the idea that referring to anyone with regards to their ethnic appearance at all=racism. Which I guess it technically is.) So...back on topic again...

  • 08.03.2009 5:50 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I think the only thing I didn't know the name of was the Flood, so naturally I just called the combat forms "zombies," and the infection forms "spores."

I am human, I am good and bad as well. But I try my hardest to stay good. And some of the things I do and say may be bad. Or just not too good, but I do try.

So with that said I don't fault you. I mean your only human, good or bad.
