African-Americans are not offended by another AA using that word. If you're white, I **strongly** recommend eliminating that word from your vocabulary. Call someone whom you dont' know VERY well that word? You're liable to be picking your teeth----or worse----up off the ground.
-
So wait a minute. You are saying that a specific race should not use a word otherwise they will get beaten, even killed, by another race? But its ok for the latter race to say it all the time? Sounds like true equality and anti-racism to me.
-
Eye roll. So hitting someone for using a racist insult is racist. But using an ugly racial slur is just fine. Welcome to Bizarro World....

Welcome to Bizarro World....[/quote] No it's not "fine" but I would think mean words would be preferable over physical violence in terms of what you receive. Mean words are only as harmful as you allow them to be but punches hurt every time guaranteed.

Mad because theirs something others get to do that you can't?

[quote]Mad because theirs something others get to do that you can't?[/quote] Technically that [i]is[/i] the definition of inequality. Just saying.
-
Sometime fairness requires unequal treatment, and equal treatment isn't fairness. I have a healthy arm. You have an open sore on yours. Rubbing salt on our arms may be equal treatment but it won't be fair treatment to you. Cause it'll hurt you a hell of a lot more than it will me.

Editado por Vox Mortuis: 8/26/2017 1:58:19 PMNope, just find it interesting that when it comes to racism, only one race is usually blamed when all are guilty, and slurs about said race are not taboo like they are for the others.
-
Everyone is guilty of prejudice. Only one group in the US can put power behind those prejudices. Like the move last week to try to pass laws to try to eliminate civil liability for "protestor bowling".
-
No hitting someone for using a racist word is fine. Its not fine when its ok to only hit one race for using the word and not any other race. Either you believe in equality in all things or you believe in discrimination. Either its fine for all to say or fine for none. Picking and choosing what races can or cannot say certain words or do certain things is definitional racism.
-
It's not the word it's the intent behind it.
-
Then white people can say it so long as there is no intent? And how does one determine that intent?
-
The intent is to dehumanized.
-
[quote]The intent is to dehumanized.[/quote] Ok... ignoring the wrong use of that word, *dehumanize You cannot tell the intent of the other person. Thats the point i was making. Knowing one's intent is to know their inner thoughts. You cannot know if they say that word out of hatred, or to piss you off or in a loving manner. To claim its bad based off of intent is to claim you are a mind reader. Which is impossible. So my point still stands, either its ok for everyone to say or not. Simple as that. You cannot pick and choose what races get to say specific words.
-
Grow up.
-
Picking my teeth up? lmao somebody did that shit to me they'd be picking [i]their brains[/i] off the pavement. A couple buddies of mine pack some heat.
-
...and you'd be cooling your heels on death row, depending on where you live.
-
Self defense isn't a crime.
-
Only when the use of force is proportionate to the threat. Just because some one punches you doesn't mean you get to respond with lethal force.
-
Editado por Vox Mortuis: 8/26/2017 7:00:06 PMIf someone is assaulting me I can use any force I have to resist. Lethal or not, it makes no difference. People have been beaten to death, so the whole "they weren't armed, they just punched" argument holds no water.
-
I'm pretty sure if I called a black person the n-word to their face they wouldn't like it.
-
If you were friends with them they probably wouldn't mind. Depends on the context in my experience.

[quote]If you were friends with them they probably wouldn't mind. Depends on the context in my experience.[/quote]I don't know about you, but I'm not in the habit of using racial slurs and derogatory language to my friends. That's not a very nice thing to do to your friends.
-
It depends on the context, delivery, and person. I'm well aware of when it's appropriate. Then again, you and I are of a different generation, so that may play into it as well. Meme culture has pretty much desensitized a lot of people of my generation to the old connotations the word would bear.
