"my pals"

Should the word be censored. Either way I don't think it should be designated to a single races' use. Why should blacks being able to call eachother my pals? I mean it's not like you hear jews calling other jews kikes.

I am a long-haired white guy and I live in LA (lower Alabama) so I deal with a lot of black people everyday. The way I look at it is that I don't deal with "black people" though..... I personally don't care about your race (as my wife is Japanese) but I treat everyone as an individual. You have good and bad in all races. The individuals in the black race that likes to call each other "my pals" have little respect for themselves.

Well Bryant, it's still "just a word"...

You dig George Carlin? He made great humour of the term "it's just a word"!

Ah, you're in the army then. Well... I still don't get it why the Icelandics are so scared... but ah well, I guess that this is a bad side of a Nato-membership in the post-coldwar era.
 
my pals is just a slang term for nigerian,like paki is short for pakistan,i mean if i call you "americ",you fucking americ asshole,then you better not use americ any more,ahhh who cares i reckon black people use the word million times more than white people do anyway.

Im not racist,no way,i hate everyone :)
 
Asking whether or not "my pals" is a "bad word" is completely unanswerable. Context, tone of deliverance, and body language play as much of a part in relaying thought as actual phonetics do. When anyone (black or white or mexican or whatever) uses it to poke fun (at black culture, stereotypes, and racism), its harmless. When it's used to seriously attack blacks, it is a "bad word". In the same way, blonde jokes are fine but actual discrimination against blond people isn't
