The way you throw the "N" word around here on the Forums it seems you would have fit right in with those guys.
The way Minimalist has used the term, every time I have seen him use it, is very different from what those students did. And even though I have not followed him around looking for other examples, I can be pretty sure that he never uses the term in any of his posts as those students did. The reason I can be pretty sure about that is, if he had, he would very likely have been banned for it.
You might want to go back and look at examples in which he has used the term, and see if you can spot the difference in his usage from what those students did. You might also notice that there don't seem to be any black people accusing Minimalist of racism when he does use the term, so if you cannot spot the difference, you should realize that others can, and you might want to think a bit harder about it. I will give you one little hint for now: Minimalist is clearly not trying to denigrate black people when he uses the term. But go back to his posts and look for yourself.
