You made a claim. I’m asking you to back it up. But if you’d rather, I’ll do your work for you; it’s no trouble at all:
What it was, was an assumption of your personal position on the subject based on your own quoted words. If you’re desperate to find a fallacy here, I suppose you could charge me with a strawman. However, I was careful to revise that mistake in my following response via asking you to clarify your thoughts and correct me if I was wrong. Bold mine:
You took no such opportunity to clarify. Instead, you just complained about ad hominem attacks that never actually occurred.

I'm quoting from your own post in which you verbatim described using the N-word as a privilege. Maybe...just maybe it's about African Americans re-claiming some modicum of control after having almost none at all for hundreds of years. Maybe "privilege" is a gross mischaracterization no matter who is saying it. Maybe the subject is a little more nuanced than, "How come they can say it but we can't? Wah!"
" I had no idea you were so envious that it's off limits to you." So that wasn't an attack? WTF was it then?

Quote:When you describe using that word as a privilege you feel you don't have, what else am I supposed to infer other than you think that isn't fair? That you're missing out on something someone else has the privilege of getting to do? Is that not how you feel?
