I had to deal with this idiocy in Call of Duty, and seemingly I also encounter this same ignorance on Destiny. It seems that many people are tough when anonymous online and loosely let the word "ni**er" fly out of their mouths with the sole purpose of trying to offend someone.
It is truly sad that those of you who do that or have done it think you're hurting someone. You're actually ruining your own character and becoming someone who lacks integrity.
I was just with a group of guys who I won't put on blast on these forums (nor their clan), but these guys are rude and racists. If you see this post, realize that I could expose you right now, by linking your accounts and your clan page. But I'll refrain.
Grow up and recognize the day and age we live in.
Edit: And no, I DO NOT use the word. Not even casually around African-Americans. Please don't make that assumption or case.
Edit 2: LOL! It's so funny. Many of you don't recognize how ignorant your responses are. Funny that you think I'm offended, angry or something. Uhm, no. Shoutout to all of the respectful and mature guardians of ANY color out there! Because of you, the world is still a great place to live in! :D

Sorry you gotta deal with that shit, bro. You wanna jam with an adult, send me an invite. You won't hear none of that bullshit out of me....
-
I encounter a fair amount of racism as well as misogyny. It's very disappointing, but I try sparking discussions about the topics that can pull people out of their ignorance (I'm not saying that I'm not ignorant--I still have a lot of learning to do myself and always will).
-
Using the word in question does not make you a Racist. It just makes you sound like an Idiot. It shows you have a low self esteem and want to be recognized as Hip with your peers or others. Use of this word does no one any good.
-
People do things that they normally would not do when they have a wall of anonymity to hide behind. A good example is the ring to rule them all. If you could go invis what would you do? Most would do things they never would actually consider without it. Its an unfortunate truth, but its the way nearly everyone regardless of race behaves.

The indifference of good men allow evil to flourish..if it were me I'd have put them on blast.
-
Yeah, people are dicks. It is why I rarely play with randoms.
-
I can't be the only one who thinks a post like this should never be made. It makes a bigger deal out of a minor issue. The only reason racism still exists is because people won't let it die.
-
I'm white, best bro is black. I'm 24, he's 23. I say it. Lots of the time, it's Monica. Think about that.
-
I'm brown and i see no issue with this... Quit phucking whining about minor shit and if it doesn't affect you on a level where you can't earn your money or do what you want then you have a legit reason.. otherwise you always have the mute button.. grow the phuck up.

Where do you stand on white people quoting movie lines that incorporate the N word?
-
Report them. Report the racists. Get them banned. Otherwise, please stop complaining about it if you're not going to take action to rectify the problem.

So I'm going to share a short anecdote here. I have a brother who is 20. I am 19. Our family is white. I also have a little brother who is 15. But the problem here is that my 20 year old brother, after many conversations about having him stop, refuses to discontinue his use of the word. The underlying racist tones behind the history of that word are not okay. If someone wishes you to not use this word around them, please oblige. Or just stop using it altogether. That's the better way to go. Because overall the word is rude and bringing back a part of history that should be talked about, but the racial slurs from that piece of history should be left buried.
-
Can you provide an example of what was said?
-
Wow i see alot of tough guys here hiding behind a computer screen. I doubt any of you have the balls to say this shit to op's face
-
I'm black. I do not use the word either. I hate the word. No one will ever hear that word come out of my mouth. People really need to stop their generalizations and stereotypes, it just makes them look dumb. But this is humanity we are talking about....
-
Mute button works for me. Got no patience for this gaming generation full of mofos
-
Edited by Locker: 12/19/2014 1:27:16 PMI have a lot of black friends in destiny and my friends list and I ducking hate it when little bitch ass white trash honkies :) throw out that word. Message me I'll give you my address say it to myself or my bros face and see what happens. Pussies !
-
i gotta ask, did they say nigg -a? or -er?
-
The world needs less assholes in general.
-
Dont play with little kids.
-
I remember my first mute button.
-
Just mute them. The glorious mute button is actually the only reason I can play online games and saves so much energy.
-
You lie, the world sucks to live in and it's full of dickheads.
-
Only one group of people I call nig ger. The bastards who pull out in front of me. (I drive a dump truck that doesn't exactly stop.) white or black or Asian or Indian man woman or shild. You drive like an asshole you're a -blam!-. I call everyone -blam!-. It's only offensive because you give it so much power.
-
In reality it's the context on how the word is used.
