[split] PSA: Hate Speech (discussion of video etc)

[Yonadav]

The thing is, they can’t just admit that this rule is solely aimed at one particular word which I’m not allowed to say. That in itself would be racist, because it’s providing "protection" to one group of people and not others. It’s also the soft bigotry of low expectations, that black people cannot handle hearing a certain word.

You gonna whine about reverse racism because you can't say the n-word? Really? Somehow I don't think you'd carry that same energy out in the real world, which makes you a coward. Btw black people don't get offended by the n-word, most black people WISH someone like you would feel comfortable enough to say it.

I'd get arrested if I assaulted someone for calling me names. When it's OK for half a dozen guys to beat up one guy for calling them a name that hurts their feelings, I call that privilege. I think that privilege should be checked. That was a real 'brave' bunch of guys that beat up that one guy. I think that they were cowards whose numbers gave them courage.
 
I don't like that white guy's racism. But I think that it is also racism when black people get a free pass to assault people for calling them names, when none of the rest of us can assault anyone for calling us names. If it had been a black guy getting beat up after calling some white guys names, it would just be so horribly racist.

I am opposed to the one way street. I think that black racism is just as bad as white racism. We all need to knock it off.
