re: Using the n-word is the clearest race based double standard in America

Yall love to throw out history whenever it comes to equal protections

quote:

---

Why do white people get so angry that they can't use the n word?

---

Equality for all?

quote:

---

Because the ones preaching about equality are the same ones that are causing the word to be excluded from everyone but their race

---

and this bothers you a lot? You need to use the n word really badly?

quote:

---

Why do white people get so angry that they can't use the n word?

---

What do you mean I can't say it? I can say it all I want to. My mouth is physically capable of producing the word.

quote:

---

Do black people use the term In a derogatory way?

---

No they are purely fricking ignorant for calling each other the one word that disgraces thier race and cause the most pain. But hey that's just an opinion of an over 35 non hipster.

Do you hear any other race calling each other thier slang given name?

Do you hear gays and lesbians saying "hey what up fagg&t"

If I were black I'd knock the shite out of any f**ker that was black and used that word in any way shape or form. The only reason that word is so main stream is only to be blamed on blacks themselves.

I'd imagine that black people would gladly let us whites use the n word all day if it meant they were granted the use of white privileges. Just a guess

quote:

---

What's so hard to understand

---

That the context and tone of the word doesn't matter. Only the color of your skin.

quote:

---

Yeah but hers probably ended in -er

The n word is a double standard, I suppose, but it's not the best evidence of double standards or inequality in race discussions.

Those who trot it out are usually ones I don't want making arguments on our behalf. How about focusing on:

1) Why hands up, don't shoot persisted as a mantra long after shown to be false?
2) How absurd it is for black editorialists to talk about fearing for their children's interactions with white people, when the white person is probably more justified in his/her fear of said interaction?
3) Why it's ok for a black student to get a spot in grad school over a white/asian student despite lower test scores and GPA?

etc., etc.

Rappers can keep using the n word all they want, I honestly don't care.

Watch the video of Andrew Harrison. Hes clearly not using it as a term of endearment

---

Yea but in the context Harrison used the word, it can almost be synonyms with "dude." Because it can mean a range of things including bro, friend, a-hole, punk, etc. Both positive and negative.

When she uses it with -er, it is a condescending term about a race of people.

I do agree there is a giant double standard but this doesn't seem to be the case. I also don't believe that the word is "their word" to use.
