[Serious] Singing the N-word

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Sorry, but I will sing all the words to any song I like. I would never use it as a slur, but I draw the line at being told I can't repeat what other people have said as quoted or else I'm racist. You can fuck right off with that.

I agree. But there is what is in your head, and how others react to what you do. 

If we are to be empathetic to others it isn't a matter of being PC, but simply understanding time place and context.

I love South Park, and that show rips on everyone, even had an episode where they had Richard Dawkins fucking Mrs Garrison. I laughed my ass off.

But even with liberal theists, I have had close theist friends who have still said ignorant things about atheists not understanding the error in their logic. 

I agree, the people that know you know you are not using the "n" as a slur, but there unfortunately are those who do use it as a slur. 

Cris is still right, "Not really".  I take that as "it depends" and "know your audience."

I don't take offense to South Park poking fun of atheists because I get the context that the entire show pokes fun of everyone of every label to say, "Don't take life so seriously, you'll never get out of it alive." 

It isn't a "never say this or that" demand, but time place and context.

But it isn't about the word being used in a derogatory context.  If someone is singing along with a song that contains the word 'redneck', s/he's using it in exactly the same context as the artist.

I get that, and that is what Chris was saying, but he is still right in saying "not really". 

If a bigoted KKK asshole loved that same song and sang it, he wouldn't be singing it in loving inclusive manor. Point is, it still depends and know your audience.

I find unlikely to the point of imbecility that a 'bigoted KKK asshole' would love a rap song.
