Swedish Niggerballs
Omphalos
1.5 dl (6 oz) sugar
2 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla sugar
2 tbsp cold coffee
4 dl (1.5 cup) oats
Garnish:
Chopped coconut
Mix and stir butter, vanilla and sugar. Then mix in cocoa and oats. Stir
until
it's all mixed to an even dough. Put the dough in the refrigator for around
15-20 minutes so that the dough will get a bit harder (it is easier to make
balls of it if its not all mushy). Take some of the dough in your hands and
roll
it to a ball and roll them in coconut so it gets covered by it. Put them in
the
fridge again for a while, then eat and enjoy!

"N*****" is a derogatory term and is inappropriate whether the recipe has
cocoa in it or not.

Nor would he have gotten the same reaction if he'd posted
them as Chocolate Snowballs.

I don't believe this person has ever posted before. Maybe he/she's a troll?
BTW, a Google search only turns out one incidence of a recipe by the name
the Omphalos posted, by a Swedish girl with the domain name of peachkin.
Maybe Omphalos and Peachkin are the same person?

it's only a word and words only have power over us if we allow them to
have power over us. no, it's not a word that i would use but i have been
taken to task rather severely because i have a recipe on my website
called "Mammy's Pumpkin Pie".
i received several irate emails from a person who DEMANDED (right now,
dammit!) that i change the name of that recipe because she found it
offensive. even after i explained that Mammy was an Irish term for
mother and was my Irish grandmother's recipe, she DEMANDED that i change
the name of the recipe.
i told her to piss off (only not quite that politely).
cheers,

this is true. my thoughts were kind of along the lines of 'don't feed
the troll'. as i said, i wouldn't use that word myself (along with other
words) but i wouldn't let it bother me as i wouldn't let it bother me if
someone used one of the other words i don't use against me.
don't let the word bother you and it takes away someone's ability to
bother you!
Margaret Suran
post, it is wrong to use that word. The same goes for the contents of a
post, whether it is directed at one person in particular or to one or
more in general.
Whether the word or sentiment is pertinent to race, religion,
nationality, intelligence, personality, appearance or such, why hurt
someone or many? There is so much sadness in this world, let's be kind
to as many as we can. I may chant: "Sticks and Stones May Hurt My
Bones, But Words Will Never Hurt Me", but to be honest, at least in my
case, words cut much deeper then a stone hurled at me and finding its
target. Sooner or later, the scar on your body will fade, the scar the
word left in your heart will be there for a much longer time.

Obviously, they're trying to be provocative. However, the name of the dessert
may be a literal translation. I know a German cookie called 'Negerkuesse' that
the authorities have been slow to change.

someone just asked if i would post the URL for this and so here it is:
<http://www.peavine.com/lowcarb/dessert/pumpkinpie.html>
i adapted the recipe for a low-carb diet so there's no crust and it uses
Splenda instead of sugar. if one doesn't low-carb, use sugar and put it
in a crust <g>.

Sweden practiced eugenics by sterilization of 'misfits' who weren't quite
blond and blue eyed enough as late as 1976! That's right. It wasn't until
1976 that the Swedish National Institute for Racial Hygiene ceased its
operation. In the 40 years prior, over 60,000 Swedish residents were
sterilized in the name of racial purity.
It seems that wherever this topic of the n-word comes up in any newsgroup
someone inevitably brings up the fact that slavery was once legal in the US
and that lynchings even occurred. They conveniently ignore the fact that
during the period of slavery in the US, *less than half* of the sub-Saharan
Africans sold into slavery were brought to the US. An even larger number
were marched northward, on foot, through the Saharan desert bound for Middle
Eastern, Asian, and European markets.
Just my rant. In no way, shape, or form did the US corner the market on the
slave trade.

Words are politics, and politics result in action, and
lynching is one of the actions the politics of the wrong
words created.

Blair, you've just paraphrased Proverbs 18:21. The King James version reads:
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall

And that has not been proposed, has it?
But even in the past two decades, the formerly accepted word "Neger" has been
disapproved in German, with the word "Schwartz" being substituted.

The German word is "Schwarz". Seventy or so years ago, in Austria a
black person was called a Mohr, or Moor. The word Neger was hardly ever
used. Sadly, we also had pastries called after body parts of Blacks and
American Indians and they were not used in the same way as we say Peach
Melba here or called a confection after Mozart (Mozartkugeln) in
Austria. MS

No, it most definatively is Schwartz.
In Dutch, we also use the word "neger", but I don't think it is no longer
accepted. Actually, I think "black" ("zwarte") is in fact more derogatory.
It is not what you say, but how you say it, and the thoughts you have about
it.
As an outsider I am sometimes amazed at the p.c. newspeak invented at the
other side of the pond.
To stay with this subject, nigger used to be a normal, neutral word to
describe somebody with dark skin. It became derogatory, and they invented a
new word.
And again.
And again.
I don't know what today's p.c. term is, but I know that unless people get
educated and change their mentality, it will become as un-p.c. as the rest
in a little while.

That's the problem with the Bible. It occasionally gets

time, since the Af/American culture has taken that word and somewhat
turned it around (ex: "That's my n****r!" used in a more positive context).
However, I've found that when the word is used out of that type of
context is where the problem lies. In addition, I'm PRETTY sure that the
OP could have used another word in it's place.

a regular term for blacks. I've seen Niger, Negro, etc., but never that,

it was "thrown" at me, but sometimes it DOES become upsetting to think

Erm...no one said that they did, but they CERTAINLY did a job in taking

I think Africa has the corner on that market. No offense, and it's
still going on today. Also, let's not forget that the majority of
our ancesters arrived long after slavery/never had a slave in their
lives.

Well, we're talking about two or three centuries ago. The word is simply
latin for black. (with one g added for English pronounciation)
Looking at the situation at that time, it probably became derogatory pretty
fast. As I said, it depends on how you say it. Even the nicest word can
become an insult if you use enough venom in your voice. If enough people do
this, the word becomes an insult in it's own right.
