my sentiments exactly

the funny thing is, in my language the N-word is the proper, literature-based word to describe black people

I'm pretty sure I've seen it mentioned in of the poems of one of the greatest Russian poets

so when I come across things like that in the Western word, I simply laugh

Yup..i Was going to say that..my russian/ukrainian friend told that the N-word is the proper word to describe it.

Since the couch came from overseas it could just be a mis-translation...

yeah exactly... and I mean, we use it in news too, there is a male and female version of it too... just a perk of the language

I'm putting my bets on the sign being made/translated in China

WOW!!! ROFL I fuckin' cracked up... that's the type of shit you see in emails that have been forwarded a million times...

And yet, here we go again with the whole racial discussion about who can use the "N" word. So useless.

But in our language it refers to the color of the skin. Its the equivalent of simply saying black person, Ni**er is an alteration of the word used to subjugate and label slaves. Much different, yet funny nonetheless, russian fobs can get in trouble sometimes when they use that word....

no no I know! I'm just saying it's very different else-where

and no, they are not fobs, they are just unaware that it's offensive here, because it's a normal word back at home for them

lol, this reminds me of the scene in BRAT 2, where they are sitting eating crayfish or w/e down at the waterfront and a bum comes by.
