Hello A: Let's be clear.. It's only racist if a white person CALLS a black person nigger.. But, used editorially, like both of us did, isn't racist at all. Now, I dunno WHY black people co-oped the word, but they did, and who's gonna tell them that they shouldn't have?? Clearly, when they use it amongst themselves it's NOT racist. But, if it comes from a white man, it IS. Should it be that way??? I dunno. Do I have a problem with it? I don't.. excon Side: Only a black man can say it

You make no sense, why is it only racist if a white person says it. Doesn't that make you racist saying a man can't use a word solely on the color of his skin. Why should anyone be able to use the word if it is offensive. I understand the word and it is truly disgusting but if you mean it then why are you saying it. Just because someone is not using the word in the right context it still has the same meaning. So I don't understand your argument it is clearly flawed. Side: No it is racist no one should

Let's be clear.. It's only racist if a white person CALLS a black person nigger.. Oh good. So it's okay for Asians, Native Americans, Hindus, Arabs, Latinos and Hispanics to call black people nigger? Well let's just let the N word fly. What do you say Con? How do you feel knowing that Bronto can call a black person the N word but you can't because of the color of your skin?

So your saying it is only racist if you mean it to be. That makes no sense what if you call a black person nigger just to be "buds" with them. If the black community says that is a racist word then why do they say it. Doesn't that mean that most people who say it are hypocrites. I'm saying they would be hypocrites because they are using the word as a different meaning but if a white man said it in that same way it would be considered racist. That being said you would also be racist and be a hypocrite is that correct? Because that is your argument. Side: No it is racist no one should

I'm triggered by the word "racist". I find saying the word "racist" to be "racist". I'm in my safe space, thus no words that start with "r" can be used around me for at least 20 minutes. As a matter of fact, I'm so triggered that the triggering is making me even more triggered, rinse, wash and repeat. Now someone come join me in a cuddle session. Side: No it is racist no one should

All I'm saying is that if someone considers the word racist then don't use the word. You would be racist and a hypocrite if a black person could use the word but not a white man. If your argument is "it's only racist if you make it racist" that is the dumbest thing because even if a white man said it in the terminology as a black man it would be considered racist. Every thing is racist if a white man does something, so why should we have to keep using this word if it is offensive. Side: No it is racist no one should
