btw.: about those "words"... If Migga is bad to say/write... you should stop using words like "beach", "come" or names like "Dick", "Hunt" (Especially "Mike Hunt") and I don't know what ever else should sound similar to any "slang" word . It's nonsense folks you talking about here...

beach, come, dick, hunt have all been socially accepted and have their own spots in the dictionary for the correct meaning... Mike Hunt infers nothing racial at all, just immaturity... Migga has racial implications regardless of what you would like to think, just because you say someone gave it to him as a nickname doesn't make it alright. Originally I thought I might have been overreacting a bit, so I sent the link to a few of my closest friends *whom are black* and they fully agreed with me... So then I showed just the beginning of the thread to others and got reactions like "hope that guy is black, because throwing ish like that around is pretty innappropriate, and would piss me off if i were black" EVERYONE knows by saying 'migga what" migga this migga that you truly mean ni**a what ni**a this and ni**a that... So this is a CLEARLY stated situation that the word is not proper for a forum like this. And if you would like to argue that it is, then there should be no penalization for racist comments down the road. This has nothing to do with me 'getting over myself' it has to do with a topic that really bothers me, and as a member, I believe I have the right to speak up upon the situation.
EDIT: Also for those of you still sticking to 'it's just a nickname' when was the last time you said "56k.... (insert nickname) what?" gooooooood joke

oh my.... you realize his name is miguel, right? we call him migga for short. its not a black/white thing. its just a nick name. and "nigga what" is a socially acceptable term that comes from rap music. get over it. there is no racist issue here.

to stay on topic
nice photos, wouldve been nice if you had more of the stang

as for all these nickname shenanigans
i dont see anything wrong with him have the nickname migga, however in the 3rd person context he used, id say hes in the wrong

"nigga what" is a socially acceptable term that comes from rap music.

you mean to tell me you use it in public around people you dont know? and also by that logic nig*** itself should be socially acceptable.

itd be nice if we could all go back using nig*** in its archaic definition or not at all along with its variants.

Im planning a trip out there in about a week . any recomendations. btw nice pics

[devilsden97]

Recommendations: Go on one of the tours of the lake. Even if u dont care about the "history" and other bs they talk about, the scenery is worth the ~$15, its also relaxing and burns 2 hours.

Sunscreen is your friend.

Pairasailing is ~$50 a person. and lasts ~10 minutes.

you mean to tell me you use it in public around people you dont know?

yep... since im not a racist, im secure in my use of slang.

[devilsden97]

ok im ending this discussion on the nickname of "Migga" once and for all.

My names Miguel. Im of Spanish and Italian decent.

The nickname migga has nothing to do with the "N"word. I have 4 of 5 different nicknames floating around 6gc with the East Coast crew. Some include, Mig, Migga, Miggy, and Miguelito con queso. there all just taken from the first part of my First name.

you mean to tell me you use it in public around people you dont know?

yep... since im not a racist, im secure in my use of slang.

The term Migga has NO racial connection. end of story. Its used at meets, on the phone, in close company, and even in largly populated areas, such as Dave & Busters, and Malls.

IF you personally have a problem with the nickname, thats your problem. (ur entitled to your own opinion.)

STOP CLOGGING UP MY THREAD WITH YOUR POINTLESS, "THAT ****S RACIST" BULL ****!
