[split] The word 'Nigger' and other slurs

[BrokenQuill92]

Don't use that word it's rude

No it is just a fucking word. The word has no meaning except the meaning you give it.

Please don't try to pull that bullshit with me. Words have meanings and we have language because words have meaning. I don't give you candy and then tell you it's "poison" because then you'd think I was trying to kill you. I'd give you candy and tell you that it's sweet. Why because words have meaning.

I don't use the word but damned if I am not going to use it just because someone orders me not to ESPECIALLY if that person claims its OK for them to use it but not you.

YOU DON'T GET TO TELL ME WHAT I CAN OR CANNOT SAY. You can request I don't use it.

I said not on my thread! I don't care if you say else where, and I don't use the word myself because I think it's ignorant and historically disrespectful. If you don't like it don't comment or take it up with a mod. I'm not rude on your threads so don't be rude on mine.

It is not your thread. You have no rights over what is said or not said. Once you originate a thread it leaves your 'jurisdiction' and becomes an open forum. I have no control on any threads I start either. Only the moderators/Admins set what is acceptable.

I don't use the word to describe people because a number of people that I have no wish to offend are offended by it but its my choice to use it or not use it. I chose not to bbut NOT because you order me not to. This whole culture of authority and entitlement that you ascribe to is something I utterly reject. I am colourblind and refuse to take part in anything that promotes racial discrimination. So I will never call someone a 'Nigga' or 'Nigger' even if I have utter contempt for them, I would use the same words I use for any other person I have contempt for.

However neither will I make the word 'Nigger' or the word 'Nigga' into some sort of shibboleth where even mentioning the word exists is some sort of taboo, That just enshrines it with a special power.

Split this thread because "Fuck that derail"

Then why do black people use it all the time?

How do you know that?

Have you got any proof that shows generalization of 42 million people?

Can you show me the Book of Being Black that all Blacks must read that says "Thou shalt use the words 'Nigger', 'Nigga' and thereforth"?

No?

Then why are you whining about some straw Black?

It is intellectually sound to criticize Christians for their codified loonieness.

It is not fair to judge all Blacks for the Poor Urban Black subpopulation.

It's like claiming "Men rape" as a generalization of all men.

For shame.

Disparage criminal lauding subcultures (white, black, etc)

Unless we want to paint all Italians as Mafiosos, all Irish as inveterate Catholic, child rape abetting deunks, et al.

[Autumnlicious]

I'm not against the 'word'- nigger, cracker, etc.

But I am fervently opposed to that pathetic, weak minded argument of "we'll They do it!"

Prove 'They' before you tar everyone with immutable traits with your brush.

PORCH MONKEY!!!

[Mister Agenda]

It's so foreign to human experience for people to frown on other people using a term for them that they use amongst themselves that it's incomprehensible to an outsider. Apparently.
