1) I don't think there is anything wrong with typing nigger on the internet, especially when I'm expressing a thought I have about someone else. Did I call the guy a nigger? No. Do I ever say it IRL? I'm sure I have for some reason, but can't remember the last time I have. Do I use it to describe people? Of course not. To the contrary, I have a problem if you use it hatefully to describe people. It's just a word unless it has intent behind it - like most other pejoratives. You could call someone a "farker!" and if you said it with malice and hate, you could mean the same thing. (I do take issue with people who say "fag" around here and yet are upset with me for typing the word nigger.)
2) In regards to the whole taking credit thing... I have no clue where you'd get that from. The only things I sign my name on are homework, contracts, and notes I send people.
I'm a very humble person, I don't go out of my way to point out the good things I do for others, and if I'm complimented for it I say "Thanks, they would have helped me out too."
3) I am liberal, and I am open minded. Like I said, I don't use the word nigger in a derogatory sense, but I'm not stupid (or naive) enough to ignore facts and realities around me. I am a product of the environment, and I've seen the worst side of illegal immigrants, and I've paid for it. (Insurance rates in AZ are insane due to the amount of uninsured illegal immigrants.) I've been thrown a beat down or two for being in the wrong part of town once or twice when I was younger by some black fellas. On the other hand, I've also threatened by white power fuckheads because I was in a band with an outspoken gay singer. I think white power people are fuckers. I think black people who beat the shit out of people that are some place they don't "belong" are fuckers. I don't hold it against them though. Does it make sense to hate an entire group of people for what individuals have done? I do what I do in my life to not become like that, and to treat people with respect.
4) In regards to my success in life, well, sorry man I'm pretty damn proud of what I have done, and I'm proud of my family. Do I walk around telling people I've been accepted to law school? No. Do I tell people I have a B.A., History? Dude I didn't even have a "graduation party" when I graduated. I didn't send out notices, no invites. Simply saying these things doesn't make me insecure. I've said it before -- but what do I care what people on the internet who dislike me think? Who am I trying to impress? What do I have to prove to you? There is simply no point... it's futile. It makes you sound insecure for trying to call me out on it. I'm not looking for acceptance of congratulations here. I'm rewarded every day in my life by my profession and being in law school.
I don't need your pity brother, I'm happy with life. Are there things I want to change? Of course, I haven't reached my full potential, but few people rarely do. I strive to however. That's the difference between a lot of other people and myself. I have issues with being to vitriolic on the internet, and I've tried to change but apparently not hard enough. I keep saying I'll cool my jets but never do, so I don't blame you guys for thinking I'm a chode.
Whatever... 24 is on. Time for some Jack Bauer pwnage.
