Why can blacks call each other the "n" word but others can't?

Doesn't make sense if blacks are THAT sensitive about it. If they don't want it used then don't use it themselves. Just saying.

Whites are pussies. If whites had any pride, they would call anybody any name they wanted.

They can shoot each other too but we can't shoot them. Some things are just for your own kind!

They're just giving an example of cultural appropriation .

You absolutely can call them that if you wish.

No one is stopping you.

Black people, unique among the races, have carved out dispensations for themselves. They are essentially the children of America, held to a lesser standard, absolved of their responsibility to each other and the larger culture, and beholden only to their parents - white Progressive Democrats- who give them an allowance to keep them in line.

The rest of us have to observe the social contract.

A Cuban baseball player in the world series called a Japanese pitcher a 'Chino' yesterday. He's about to get suspended for it.

Who says others are not allowed. The predisposed to be offended 12 percent of the population need a reality check. The inmates are not running the prison.

Did I say that correctly?

My comment was not that whites are pussies for not being mean to blacks. I meant they are pussies for giving the n word too much power.

I have no desire to call or refer to anyone by that term but I do think the whole "n word" thing is silly. It always reminds me of "he who must not be named" from Harry Potter. It gives the word far more power than it deserves.

From Websters:

1 offensive; see usage paragraph below —used as an insulting and contemptuous term for a black person

2 offensive; see usage paragraph below —used as an insulting and contemptuous term for a member of any dark-skinned race

3 now often offensive; see usage paragraph below :a member of a class or group of people who are systematically subjected to discrimination and unfair treatment.

I remember when I was in high school that there was only one sentence for this word and the definition was "lazy and/or cowardice."

Furthermore:

quote:

is an infamous word in current English, so much so that when people are called upon to discuss it, they more often than not refer to it euphemistically as "the N-word." Its offensiveness is not new—dictionaries have been noting it for more than 150 years—but it has grown more pronounced with the passage of time. The word now ranks as almost certainly the most offensive and inflammatory racial slur in English, a term expressive of hatred and bigotry. Its self-referential uses by and among black people are not always intended or taken as offensive (although many object to those uses as well), but its use by a person who is not black to refer to a black person can only be regarded as a deliberate expression of contemptuous racism.

My point is that you can lose your job for it. It's sad. But that's what political correctness brings.
BTW, the player got a 5 game suspension. It was handed down an hour ago. He serves it at the beginning of next season...which is what I predicted would happen on a thread early this morning.

Edit: And it's not just race. I read an article last week about a teacher who had an obese student who failed to turn in his assignment. The teacher chided: "Did you eat your homework?"
He's on suspension pending an inquiry.

Side note.

If I bought a cotton farm........and refused to hire anyone but blacks to work the fields.........but paid them double the going rate.......would that be racist?
