Alright, Charles, listen up. I was going to post this in its own thread, but this is as good a place as any.

Ok, Charles -- do I have your attention? Good. Read this -- no, shut up -- read this and read this well. Step into my office; you and I need to have some words.

This little tryst between you, Jack and Conchaga has been going on far too long now, and it has to stop. No, shut up. Don't interrupt me. I'll let you have your say in a bit.

This is the way I see it: You're pissed at Jack for trolling your sorry ass across at least four boards, including (as far as I can tell) your own, without him even posting there. Shut your mouth, Charles. I'm not done.

To get back at him, you've come up with this pathetic "New Age Posting" schtick (solely for the purpose of disrupting a board) and brand yourself as "The New Jack" and "King of the Gutters". It seems no one's taken you seriously in your efforts save yourself. Sure, several people have humoured you, notably when they themselves had a beef with Jack -- but humour you is all they've done. Again, don't interrupt.

Consider, rather, acknowledge this: You cannot be the "New Jack"; your name is not Jack, James or any other name that can be nicknamed "Jack". Your name is Charles. You'd have an easier time trying to pass my first name as yours and even then you'd fail miserably. What am I "bangin' about", you ask? Pay attention. I've been telling you this entire time.

Why you'd even want to be the "King of the Gutters" is beyond me; the title holds such negative connotations that I'd eschew it as much as possible. Let me break down those big words for you. Connotation: The implied definition of a word. Eschew: Avoid. Trust me, being "King of the Gutters" ain't a good thing, unless you've managed to shit on them so badly that they're permanently bathed in your refuse. You haven't done that. In fact, the few times I've posted there, it was awash in Jack's excrement. It still is, judging by the Gutterite's refusal to accept you.

So what is it, Charles? Stupidity? Stubbornness? Niggardness? That's not a racial epitaph, idiot. Now answer the question. Remember, I asked you directly a few weeks ago by PM, asking for your side on this drama, but you've ignored it. That's not a smart move. Let me tell you why.

I have a unique take on Jack, one I doubt anyone else here has: I've met him in person, sat down and had lunch with him. That gives me a very good sense of who he is, something you will never have. Your claim in all this shitstorm of threads that he's fabricated the history between you two to suite his side falls flat. Yes, Jack is known for exaggerating events to his favor, but having met him, I can better read between the lines and sort through the decorative bullshit. That doesn't leave you with much, particularly since you couldn't even be bothered to reply to my PM. So where does that leave you? Not in a very good light.

What's even stupider is your continued campaign against him during your DayCare lockup. Jack wasn't even here at TK to be affected by it; he was outright banned from the board at the time.

Let's look at the score thus far:
TCJ (or was that the Kingdom? Meh.) -- Banned for disrupting a forum.
Comicon Gutters -- Not taken seriously at all by Rick Veitch or the Gutterites.
Troll Kingdom Radio -- Banned on site for disrupting TCJ.
ASVS -- Ran off after realizing it's a scifi board.
Hyperboard -- Running the Jack, Dirk Funk and Gagh accounts. Now THERE's a brilliant display of fuckery. Just how deep in their pockets can you get, Charles?
Troll Kingdom -- Good lord, all I have to do is turn, and there's yet another example of a dumb niggard making a complete fool of himself. Which leads me to your duals.

Charles, are you really that stupid? Do you really think that we're not going to see through the inane, sloppy and obvious handling of your duals? No, shut up, you are using duals. And don't even bring up the "Check the IPs" crap. Any mod or admin knows how to do that, and in a number of cases, the IPs are displayed under the posts themselves. Virtually every admin here has intimated that you're running duals, and it's obvious who those duals are. Even Dirk Funk has hinted at it for ASVS.

Let's address Conchaga, shall we? This is possibly where you have the most legitimate complaint -- the temporary shitcanning of your duals. But I'm going to hold off on that and address something else: The Philadelphia Meetup that never happened. This is going off of my memory here, and I'll let Conchaga (not you) correct me, because he's more likely to have the particular threads handy. You called him out for repeatedly calling you a nigger and finally indicated you'd be in Philadelphia to settle it like men, as it were. Yet you never set a date or a location. They were set for you, and predictably, you never showed. Who's telling the truth about this? You or Conchaga?

You're not in a good light here, because Conchaga served in Iraq. It's been documented. His ship-out thread is at Lonaf. A fellow soldier, Lady Elena, posted here, corroborating that Conchaga served in the Armed Forces. This tells me that he, not even counting threads detailing his security job upon return to the States, that he wasn't making shit up and would have indeed met you in person at the specified time and place, which you never named. Ergo, credibility falls on his shoulders, not yours. Shut the fuck up, Charles. I'm not done yet. I've still some "pimpin'" you gotta do something with.

Regarding Conchaga's admin actions, where you do have a leg to stand on, allow me to cut it down to size. You finally stated in that episode what the intentions of "NAP" were: Board disruption to get to Jack. That don't fly at almost every board out there. That wouldn't fly at Lonaf (guess what, Jack posts there!); that wouldn't fly at Haven (Jack posts there too!). Your niggardly style has gotten you and your posse of duals DC'ed by Sarek and your duals outright shitcanned by Conchaga. Here, DC'ing would have been best, but I wouldn't shed a single tear if they were banned -- Conchaga pulling the plug wasn't setting a precedent anyway, considering MM outright banned Jack and Messenger at Hambil's behest.

Now, about the "NAP" style. I represent "Old School Posting". Examples are very rife throughout this very post, indeed, by the majority of active members here. In fact, just so everyone is clear, Conchaga, might I recommend you set up a group for "OSP" and make me its mod? Why don't you even set up an "OSP only" forum and bar any "NAP" member from posting in it? If you're not "down low" with that, Charles, I recommend giving "NAP" a permanent nap.

Last point: Your accusations of duals. Notably, Lilac and Loktar. Neither are duals; I've met Loktar in person. He's an active member at Lonaf, where duals aren't permitted. And Lilac? Well, that's a well-known 'secret' around here. It's too bad you haven't picked up on it. Lilac is very well associated with duals, but Lilac is the main account, not the dual.

So where does that leave you, Charles? Nowhere. Stop the shit. It's old.

Oh, and a word of warning: If you decide to go to Lonaf or to Haven to continue your anti-Jack campaign, expect to be shitcanned very, very quickly.

Use of nigger in proper names


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia




Jump to navigation Jump to search
The racial slur nigger has historically been used in names of products, colors, plants, as place names, and as people's nicknames, amongst others.
Contents
Commercial products


Poster for "Nigger Hair" tobacco, later known as "Bigger Hair"

In the US, the word nigger featured in branding and packaging consumer products, e.g., "Nigger Hair Tobacco" and "Niggerhead Oysters". As the term became less acceptable in mainstream culture, the tobacco brand became "Bigger Hair" and the canned goods brand became "Negro Head".[1][2] An Australian company produced various sorts of licorice candy under the "Nigger Boy" label. These included candy cigarettes and one box with an image of an Indian snake charmer.[3][4][5] Compare these with the various national varieties and names for chocolate-coated marshmallow treats, and with Darlie, formerly Darkie, toothpaste.
Plant and animal names


Orsotriaena medus, once known as the nigger butterfly

Some colloquial or local names for plants and animals used to include the word "nigger" or "niggerhead".
The colloquial names for echinacea (coneflower) are "Kansas niggerhead" and "Wild niggerhead". The cotton-top cactus (Echinocactus polycephalus) is a round, cabbage-sized plant covered with large, crooked thorns, and used to be known in Arizona as the "niggerhead cactus". In the early 20th century, double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) were known in some areas of Florida as "nigger geese".[6] In some parts of the U.S., Brazil nuts were known as "nigger toes".[7]
The "niggerhead termite" (Nasutitermes graveolus) is a native of Australia.[8]
Colors
A shade of dark brown used to be known as "nigger brown" or simply "nigger";[9] other colors were also prefixed with the word. Usage as a color word continued for some time after it was no longer acceptable about people.[10] Nigger brown commonly identified a colour in the clothing industry and advertising of the early 20th century.[11]
Nicknames of people


Nig Perrine

During the Spanish–American War US Army General John J. Pershing's original nickname, Nigger Jack, given to him as an instructor at West Point because of his service with "Buffalo Soldier" units, was euphemized to Black Jack by reporters.[12][13]
In the first half of the twentieth century, before Major League Baseball was racially integrated, dark-skinned and dark-complexioned players were nicknamed Nig;[14][15] examples are: Johnny Beazley (1941–49), Joe Berry (1921–22), Bobby Bragan (1940–48), Nig Clarke (1905–20), Nig Cuppy (1892–1901), Nig Fuller (1902), Johnny Grabowski (1923–31), Nig Lipscomb (1937), Charlie Niebergall (1921–24), Nig Perrine (1907), and Frank Smith (1904–15). The 1930s movie The Bowery with George Raft and Wallace Beery includes a sports-bar in New York City named "Nigger Joe's".
In 1960, a stand at the stadium in Toowoomba, Australia, was named the "E. S. 'Nigger' Brown Stand" honoring 1920s rugby league player Edwin Brown, so ironically nicknamed since early life because of his pale white skin; his tombstone is engraved Nigger. Stephen Hagan, a lecturer at the Kumbari/Ngurpai Lag Higher Education Center of the University of Southern Queensland, sued the Toowoomba council over the use of nigger in the stand's name; the district and state courts dismissed his lawsuit. He appealed to the High Court of Australia, who ruled the naming matter beyond federal jurisdiction. At first some local Aborigines did not share Mr Hagan's opposition to nigger.[16] Hagan appealed to the United Nations, winning a committee recommendation to the Australian federal government, that it force the Queensland state government to remove the word nigger from the "E. S. 'Nigger' Brown Stand" name. The Australian federal government followed the High Court's jurisdiction ruling. In September 2008, the stand was demolished. The Queensland Sports Minister, Judy Spence, said that using nigger would be unacceptable, for the stand or on any commemorative plaque. The 2005 book The N Word: One Man's Stand by Hagan includes this episode.[16][17]
Place names
Many places in the United States, and some in Canada, were given names that included the word "nigger", usually named after a person, or for a perceived resemblance of a geographic feature to a human being (see Niggerhead). Most of these place names have long been changed. In 1967, the United States Board on Geographic Names changed the word nigger to Negro in 143 place names.[citation needed]
In West Texas, "Dead Nigger Creek" was renamed "Dead Negro Draw";[18] both names probably commemorate the Buffalo Soldier tragedy of 1877.[19] Curtis Island in Maine used to be known as either Negro[20] or Nigger Island.[21] The island was renamed in 1934 after Cyrus H. K. Curtis, publisher of the Saturday Evening Post, who lived locally.[22] It had a baseball team who wore uniforms emblazoned with "Nigger Island" (or in one case, "Nigger Ilsand").[23] Negro Head Road, or Nigger Head Road, referred to many places in the Old South where black body parts were displayed in warning (see Lynching in the United States).
Some renamings honor a real person. As early as 1936, "Nigger Hollow" in Pennsylvania, named after Daniel Hughes, a free black man who saved others on the Underground Railroad,[24] was renamed Freedom Road.[25] "Nigger Nate Grade Road", near Temecula, California, named for Nate Harrison, an ex-slave and settler, was renamed "Nathan Harrison Grade Road" in 1955, at the request of the NAACP.[26]
Sometimes other substitutes for "nigger" were used. "Nigger Head Mountain", at Burnet, Texas, was named because the forest atop it resembled a black man's hair. In 1966, the First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson, denounced the racist name, asking the U.S. Board on Geographic Names and the U.S. Forest Service to rename it, becoming "Colored Mountain" in 1968.[citation needed] Other renamings were more creative. "Nigger Head Rock", protruding from a cliff above Highway 421, north of Pennington Gap, Virginia, was renamed "Great Stone Face" in the 1970s.[citation needed]
Some names have been metaphorically or literally wiped off the map. In the 1990s, the public authorities stripped the names of "Niggertown Marsh" and the neighbouring Niggertown Knoll in Florida from public record and maps, which was the site of an early settlement of freed black people.[27] A watercourse in the Sacramento Valley was known as Big Nigger Sam's Slough.[28]



Sign replaced in September 2016

Sometimes a name changes more than once: a peak above Santa Monica, California was first renamed "Negrohead Mountain", and in February 2010 was renamed again to Ballard Mountain, in honor of John Ballard, a black pioneer who settled the area in the nineteenth century. A point on the Lower Mississippi River, in West Baton Rouge Parish, that was named "Free Nigger Point" until the late twentieth century, first was renamed "Free Negro Point", but currently is named "Wilkinson Point".[29] "Nigger Bill Canyon" in southeast Utah was named after William Grandstaff, a mixed-race cowboy who lived there in the late 1870s.[30] In the 1960s, it was renamed Negro Bill Canyon. Within the past few years, there has been a campaign to rename it again, as Grandstaff Canyon, but this is opposed by the local NAACP chapter, whose president said "Negro is an acceptable word".[31] However the trailhead for the hiking trail up the canyon was renamed in September 2016 to "Grandstaff Trailhead"[32] The new sign for the trailhead was stolen within five days of installation.[33]
A few places in Canada also used the word. At Penticton, British Columbia, "Niggertoe Mountain" was renamed Mount Nkwala. The place-name derived from a 1908 Christmas story about three black men who died in a blizzard; the next day, the bodies of two were found at the foot of the mountain.[34] John Ware, an influential cowboy in early Alberta, has several features named after him, including "Nigger John Ridge", which is now John Ware Ridge.[35]
