It is racist to say "Pimp" is a black word

I mean, c'mon, there have been chulos de puta in every country, within every race and developed in every culture.

Why the hell would you want to make the word "pimp" a black word only?

The only rationale for such a comment is that you indeed want pimps only to perpetuate the stereotype and stay in the victimhood business.

i mean, come the fuck off the high horse dude, on this one (as in some other posts) you are waaaay off-base.

yes, there is a lot of oppression and shit we as a society have not dealt with. but with the black and colored communities we have to be very, very careful of perpetuating our oppression by playing the victim card. it's the same with women when they claim mysogyny. there's a fine line between decrying oppression and ennabling it. holland, a lot of the time you are servant of the master you so eagerly condemn.

The poor man who is currently our president has reached such a point of befuddlement that he thinks stem cell research is the same as taking human lives, but that 40,000 dead Iraqi civilians are progress toward democracy," from a July 2006 column urging commentator Bill Moyers to run for president.
