Are yous offended when people write

AmeriKa?

No, but I think they are pretty stupid to misspell it like that.

nope....



and I don't think its stupid but just an expression of frustration with race in America.

i thought that was 'AmeriKKKa'? I've never seen 'AmeriKa'.


oh, and it doesn't offend me. in certain situations it seems a reflection of the truth.

Let me correct the spelling: AmeriKKKa. Is that better?

Rhondab said:

it sure appears to be a racist remark generalizing america

I'm thinking that was Dani's misspelling of the misspelling

Rhondab said:

I understand that. And thats what it is.

But. America is a nation. So the nation as a whole isn't racist.

I just know that my first reactions upon seeing it are like a slap in the face to those who would like to see race issues solved.

it's fucking stupid, just like when people use demoRATs or rePIGlicans. it's childish.

it's cool.

Stating how you view something currently has nothing to do with how you would like to things to become.

I think some experience a different America than others. We are seeing some old fashion racism come back in style (Jena 6 and the woman that was raped and held in SC I believe).


Nothing wrong with making political statements. The spelling of America with three KKKs is like burning the flag.....political statement.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

U do realize that the powers that be have no interest in seeing these issues solved don't u? It keeps them in power.

It's usually Americans spelling it like that!

Rhondab said:

it comes off as so petty though! there must be another way to express frustration with the this country while still retaining credibilty, for lack of a better word.

Rhondab said:

I guess, when you put it like that. Just making a political statement.

Like I said. My first reaction is always one a hurtful when I see it.

It just feels like it is a jab at the nation as a whole.

Some don't have an issue with spelling and some do. I think the right to protest can some any form you like. Doesn't bother me one way or another maybe because I "get" why someone would spell it that way.

evenstar3 said:

Yeah. Thats what I'm saying. If people use that term, I mean thats up to them. I'm not gonna be MAD about it. It just seems counter productive to me. (is taht a real term?)

evenstar3 said:

Of course it does. Anytime one stands up 4 his beliefs it comes off as petty. Especially if one has pigmentation in his skin.

No - I am not offended

It's a clever statement about America's history. But I'd be offended if someone assumed I must be in the KKK because I'm American

TotalANXiousNESS said:

correction, it feels like a racist remark towards white people as a whole

and that is precisley what its intetions are

Graycap23 said:

dude. that's not true. i just personally find manipulating words to come up with cutesy insults is tiresome.

Its not even a skin color thing.

I mean, KKK is, yeah.

But calling America AmeriKKA is an AMERICA thing. Not a skin color thing.

Totally incorrect. I guess the truth must hurt.
