    That is ofcourse not knowing the difference between, " blockedz " and "Ni99ers "

    The specific image you posted actually is not offensive. I remember even watching that episode of Southpark. The answer to the jeopardy question is "naggers". The question is people who annoy you, which would be a nagger.

    They made it look to be offensive so that when he guessed the offensive term, the word was actually non-offensive. :)

    Just because thats assumed its what it is, doesnt mean thats what it is, nor does it make it offensive...especially since that word does indeed turn out to not be the racist term.

    Seeing as how the word is naggers, it isn't too bad.. But people who havent seen that episode might think it's the other word.

    It's only offensive if you think it is. It could be anything, such as, the word starts with "F" and end with "uck". Just because you think it's offensive doesn't mean it is as I could be thinking of the word firetruck.

    First of all, it was the civil war (The revolutionary war was for independence, if that's offensive to you then...) :) Then you should consider the union just as racist as the confederacy, as the union states did have slaves as well. The beginning of the war was more about state rights, then later turned into a moral issue. But we are getting off topic. I disagree with the Wheel of Fortune image being offensive as it isn't an offensive word. Sorry for going a little off topic.

    It's not offensive, and I'm not going to remove it.

    Stop trying to bring up an argument over something which has been proven to be non-offensive after all this PC etc.
