Fucking Beaners, Niggers, Kikes, Wops, Greasers, Ruskies, Camel Jockeys, Micks, Honkies, Macks, Spics, Porch Monkeys, Sheenies, Gooks, Krauts, Limeys, White Trash Inbreds, Gingers, and Canucks.
Let me dwell into a world no one ever dares to: racial slurs. If you feel you may be offended based on what you read so far, you are probably a person who judges books by their covers and should not be reading my blog anyways. Now I know many are waiting to read about my vacation in Los Angeles a few weeks back, but two recent events have sparked a greater sense of importance in my mind. A few days ago the dumb fucking idiot, JacksOff-HandsOn, said she was offended by the use of the word "nigger." This is the situation in which the word was used, verbatim:
Stretch: Fucking Ski, that wop, dago, guinea pollack!
Do-Ham: Shut your mouth you fucking stinky ass hippie shit!
Me: You shut up you fucking buck-toothed, inbred, honky, sister-fuck.
Tammy: Fucking educated beaners.
Me: Fuck you.
Everyone: HAHAHAHA.
Sheeny: I still can't believe how much racism exists today.
Me: It's xenophobia and ignorance dude. I guess it takes being part of a great melting pot like the Army to avoid that shit.
Sheeny: Yeah seriously. Like when I was at Ozzfest two weeks ago I heard some guy say, "There should be another line for spics and niggers."
Me: Hahaha fucking Texans, buncha queers.
JacksOff-HandsOn: That word offends me!
Tammy: Texans???
Everyone: Hahaha.
*JacksOff-HandsOn is black.
It is obvious that Sheeny did not use the word "nigger" in a derogatory manner, but was merely explaining to us an incident. However, JacksOff-HandsOn, being the fucking moron that she is, complained to our sergeants about this use of "nigger." Notice how only "nigger" bothered her, but all the racial slurs preceding it, did not offend her. Before I state my opinion, I want to mention key things Staff Sergeant Dizzle and our platoon sergeant, BossMan, mentioned as they arbitrated the incident. SSG Dizzle said, "If one racial slur offends you, they should all offend you! And if the word 'nigger' offends you, then I find it hard to see how y'all can listen to rap which uses it often. I hate hypocrisy!" Then BossMan retorted with, "In fact y'all should grow some thicker skin. I hear y'all say racist shit to each other all the time, yet it seems to bring unity and make y'all work together more. Unless it is used with sincere hate, y'all should stop bitching and whining." I could not agree more. There are some people who should be born mute, and JacksOff-HandsOn is one of those people. Every day she is unhappy or miserable, I feel such great ebullience in life and cannot help, but walk ecstatically.
Now that I am on the subject of the word "nigger," I want to discuss the difference between the racial slur "nigger" and the word, "nigga" which is a colloquial term acknowledging friendship. Unless you are over 50 years old, or are not one to have ANY interaction with society, it is obvious there is a difference between "nigger" and "nigga."
Since my little sister began following in my steps and started adapting a behavior marked by cynicism and clever remarks, she began to bully me about being the darkest one in our family. Everyone, being paternal and maternal aunts, uncles, and cousins, is nicely tanned, whereas I am, well dark as fuck in comparison to them. Being ironic, I always called my sister, "my lil nigga." I never felt any discomfort in saying it because I always had a myriad of friends from all races, including black ones, who had no problem with me calling them, "my niggas." Thus, applying the terminology of my friends, as well as my own stemming from my Mexican ancestry, I referred to my friends as "vatos, homies, homes, and niggas." Seeing as how I have not seen my little sister, whom I love dearly, in seven months, I was more than joyed to spend time with "my lil nigga." However, seeing as how my family lives in a suburb of Los Angeles, it is uncommon to hear "nigga," so of course my dad felt uncomfortable knowing that someone, especially someone who should feel nothing but indifference, would be offended, and he was right.
While I was on leave, I connected my laptop to the house DSL line, because I would just leave it on all day and night. I had a habit of leaving my facebook, AIM, and myspace logged in whie I left and my sister chose to exploit this fault. She would have conversations with my friends using my AIM screen name, but most of all she took great pleasure in fucking around with my myspace profile, before logging on to her own. However, she was just as forgetful in signing out so I would retaliate and fuck with her myspace profile as well, thus sparking a "fuck with each other's myspace" war. One thing I happened to change on her profile which she did not notice was her "Who I'd Like to Meet" in which I wrote, "Already met my fav niggas!." A week after I came back from leave, we exchanged these messages:
*My sister is almost 12 years old.

wtf Chuch!
*Chuch is a term of endearment Poon came up with for his sister and I stole it from him, because at the request of my dad, I would stop calling my sister "my lil nigga." In a drunken state, he said, "Well in spanish 'chula' means 'pretty' and my sister is religious and goes to church all the time, so I put 'chula' and 'church' to make 'Chuch.' I just started saying it when I came home drunk one day and she was the first person I saw."

lol i know
Curious about the situation, I called my sister last friday on my lunch break to see if there was any update.
Me: Hey Mom, lemme talk to Chuch.
Sister: Hi Kuya!
Me: Hey Chuch, did your idiot friend message you back?
Sis: No she hasn't replied or talked to me since.
Me: Fuck her anwyays. Just don't tell Dad ok?
Sis: Freakin' duhhh! He'll just call and get mad at you, he will beat my ass! Got to go, bye!
Me: Peace, nigga.
It was not fifteen minutes when my dad called me and we had this conversation.
Dad: What the hell?!?! I told you someone would be offended!
Me: What???
Dad: Gabi's dad just called me about the word "nigger" on your sister's page, and I know you are the one who did it!
Me: Bullshit! I put "nigga." Big difference! Wait, is Gabi's dad, Brian? The guy I met at one of Chuch's soccer games?
Dad: Still though! I warned you this would happen. Now he's pissed off! And yes, that's him.
Me: Dad! He's not even black! He just has black skin. That bastard grew up in Beverly Hills! Now he lives on Spyglass Hill! The RICHEST NEIGHBORHOOD OF WHITTIER! He shouldn't have been offended! It doesn't apply to him! He should feel offended if I called him a fucking honky!
Dad: JESUS! SHUT UP! Here is his number! 562-698-****! Call him and apologize!
Me: Fuck no dude!
Dad: For your sister's sake.
Me: Low blow dude, not cool. Fine. I'll call right now. Talk to you later Dad.
Dad: Thank you. Bye.
As I dialed the number and contemplated what I would say, I remembered something important, I am the Iceman, one who has a cold heart marked by asserting authority and intelligence over those who are weak while attempting to shatter their dreams and souls. This is the conversation we had over the phone:
Brian: Hello?
Me: Hi, my name is PFC Iceman with the United States Army. I am calling on behalf of my sister, Elizabeth.
Brian: Ahh yes. So you're calling about the incident.
Me: Yes I am. I just want to assert that it was a misunderstanding and I shouldn't have to be calling you.
Brian: So it seems we are on the same page.
Me: So you know you overreacted. Excellent!
Brian: Overreacted?!?! You used a racial slur!!!
Me: Hey! Don't raise your fucking voice at me you fucking civi! I'm trying to resolve this in an adult manner.
Brian: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!
Me: I said calm down fucker! I will break your neck with my penis if you don't stop yelling in the phone!
Brian: Well I am outraged at the fact a racial slur offended me and you can't realize that!
Me: Hey idiot! I never used a racial slur!
Brian: You wrote "nigger" on your sister's myspace!
Me: You are just the most xenophobic, ignorant piece of shit! I wrote "nigga," not "nigger!"
Brian: It is the same thing!
Me: No it is not! Wait, weren't you born and raised in Beverly Hills?!
Brian: What does that have to do with anything!
Me: EVERYTHING! You just have a dark skin complexion! You know nothing about being "black" or being raised in an urban enviroment! You should not have been offended at all! It does not apply to you!!!
Brian: You are just some dumb, punk loser who enlisted!
Me: That was mature, you racist motherfuck! And for your information I applied to UCLA and Columbia, and was accepted, based on my academic excellence and not by having my dad buy off the admissions office or without me sucking dick and swallowing sperm, unlike you spoiled jackoff! I enlisted to serve my nation so you have the freedom to keep sucking dick behind your wife's back, who has great tits I will admit.
Brian: This conversation is over.
Me: Good talking to you homie. Peace out nigga!!
As if I could not be further satisfied with angering a spoiled rich man, my dad left this message in my voicemail the next day:
"Well I hope you're happy. Gabi's dad transferred her to another middle school and pulled her off the soccer team so they can avoid any association with us."
Even more so, my delight was further tickled when my sister left this message in my voicemail:
"Hey Kuya. I'm sure you heard Dad's message by now. I just wanted to say don't worry about me losing friends or being ostracized by the school faculty. The faculty still remembers your accomplishments and acted as if nothing happened and all my friends think you are the coolest person ever. I am more popular than ever before! Love you, bye!
I know by now you have innumerable thoughts running through your head, but are speechless. Yes I went there, and proved a point. They should take this blog post and teach it in a sociology class. Peace out niggas!
Have an airborne day,
565 Airborne, out.
