Boru If you're white you could be banned for something like this. Very discriminating.

Perhaps, "can" and "can't" are really superficial and juvenile characterizations of what we're talking about here.
Nope, I'm just pointing out the inequality of the situation.

But I'm in someone else's house. Since I've been asked not to use the word in any context, I won't.

I know you meant no harm, Boru.
Thank you for saying so. It means a lot, honestly.

So, USians and their PC stuff. There goes the free speech thing. Except for Drich, that can have all the free speech he wants. For obvious reasons.
I had no idea that some white people felt so "un-free" not using that particular word. What a load of crap; a sad-irony loaded load of crap.
There you go again.

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?
And you cannot deny that some people can say it and others can't, which is privilege at its simplest.
Anyone can say it. There's no law against it. For some people it's acceptable by society, for others it's not.
Like Steel said, we won't allow anyone to say it here.

There goes the so vaunted free speech out of the window @ Tiberius, tell me, where the line is, exactly. You don't know really. It's good too see you again.

You are literally just as bad as Drich when you want to stick your head in the sand and pretend your don't understand what's actually being said.
Read my post above. We're not going to try and adjudicate who can and cannot say it in a post on this site. It's not allowed here. For everyone.
At the same time, there's also no law against saying it in your every day world. Go ahead. As a black man, I actually appreciate when racists announce themselves. Makes it easier to know who's in the room. You'll blame us when society reacts to you saying the word anyways, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
