my friend said, "it is never, ever okay for white people to say (n-word)."
she continued, "and the worst part of it, is that when you say it quoting someone else, you all always say it with such relish! it's as if you finally get the chance to say it where you can act as if it is not YOU saying it, so you really get off on saying it!"
the other day there was a thread on which that word was written, i think i counted, twenty times. i first thought i ought to write and post this then, but i didn't get a chance to then. the next day, there was another thread with it. today, there is another. maybe others i have not read.
the one loaded with it being left to stand gave permission for the second, and that, the next.
i knew i should post about the first one. the first utterance opened the floodgates for the next nineteen in that thread. so, of course, those would open it for the next and next.
"o! wheeee! i get to say IT!!!! and blame someone else!!!!"
that word (i will stick to saying this about whites saying it) is NEVER, EVER ANYTHING BUT A VULGAR, VILE, HURTFUL ATTACK ON ALL BLACKS.
how do you know it is never appropriate?
because black people have told you it is never appropriate.
so, how do you know when it is appropriate to use, or not?
it never is.
people go, "b-b-b-ut-but-but ... THEEEEEEEEEEY USE IT!!!!" why is is okay for THEEEEEEMMMMM to use it, but i get shit when i do?!!!!!"
well, let me try to put it in a way that white feminists might grasp why john lennon was being a racist prick when he put it in the title of a song that would further divide white feminists from women of color:
i am a d-ke who loves my c--t, but i would do anything in my power to stop anyone from ever, EVER calling YOU or anyone else either word in their vulgar senses; or from ever, EVER using either in those vulgar senses for ANY reason. in fact, if any man quotes me, i expect you to use "c-word." women? well, any woman has the right to determine that about her own personal beloved c--t, or another's she's been assured accepts that.
i hope not to read it on here anymore. it has been scary to see it go this far.

OK so wait...this is about feminism?! Firstly, this thread is all kinds of ****ed up. Secendly, I'm glad your kooze is your best friend, (at least that's what I'm getting from all of this) because I'm sure you don't have a real one.
Now, I don't use the N word. Ever. It's just not condusive to my health, and well being. I know that, but the sheer stupidity, and reverse racism that is black people using the word as some kind of "friendly" type of thing is completely beyond my comprehension. That's why I italicized what you said above. You can't just say "unless you are something that can be deemed derogatory, you can't use it." People could call me "water head" for ****'s sake. I have been called "honkey," "rabbit," etc. Does that give me the right to knife, or shoot someone for it? Hell no. You DUmmies probably wouldn't stand up for me when it made national news either. However, with this story of Trayvon Martin, you didn't even wait until facts came out, ya just came out of the woodwork for the black guy. I'd actually consider this racist. All you have to do is think about it for a little while. (by the way, that's kind of a non-sequiter to the thread started, but there is a bit of a connection. All you have to do is be smarter than a door knob. That leaves most of you DUmers out.)
Now then, I've used the word dyke, faggot, etc....well, lemme just show you a-holes a video just so you know about your so called "sensativity training" tactics, mmmkay, ylike:
