"The N Word"

[Quintium]

When you're trying to be offensive, it doesn't matter what sounds racist. If it offends, it offends.

Exactly. And some words offend due to racial reasons.

Yes - which means it hits twice as hard as any other word with the same amount of vowels.
Not sure about you, but to me that sounds like an excellent word if you're planning to offend someone.

When you're trying to be offensive, it doesn't matter what sounds racist. If it offends, it offends.

And, for that, "the big N" appears to be the most offensive word on the planet.

Then why use it?

[New Genoa]

So you want everyone to call people niggers because it's offensive?

No, but why go off on a massive, politically correct but exhausting tirade if one specific word does the trick better than a thousand others? Here's what I'm saying - it's offensive, so use it for offense!

The best way to insult someone should be highly prejudiced, bigoted slurs? What you seem to be doing is rationalizing your racism, and it comes off pretty blatant.

I feel like I could make a link to SLJ's AK-47 spiel in Pulp Fiction, but the metaphor would be strained.

No, it's not. And as I said it only offends certain people for certain reasons. So if you were mad at someone of African descent would you use the N word against them?

Again, when you're out to offend, you need offensive words.
And if you've managed to come across the most offensive word in the world, why not use it?

[The Parkus Empire]

Have you heard how rappers tend to talk about women? How often they use the word "bitch"? You aren't going to get anywhere with appeals for them to not be offensive.

By the way, you do sound pretty racist.

Thank you.

Might have something to do with stuff like putting the word people in quotes to refer to African Americans.

The answer is in your post.

Because not everyone is a racist scumbag.

[The Serbian Empire]

Yes, but only as long as one doesn't mention that Eminem is well... you know.

Is what? Racially, he's white as milk. Culturally, though, "Slim Shady" isn't exactly a country singer.

The racial component... otherwise one opens up a whole bag of worms about the possibility of cultural appropriation.

I think you mean Jackie Brown.

So this is not a thread for people talking about a foreign remake of the L word? I am strangely disappointed.

Opportunist isn't the same as racist. Using it for the purpose of offense and not out of some sort of belief is entirely an opportunistic usage.

You're really ignorant aren't you?

Well, I have, actually. Those guys had it coming to them, though - three of them, stealing bicycles at a train station just after midnight. Trying to cut locks with a bolt cutter. So me and some others walked up to them and started talking to each other loudly - "it almost seems these [censored] are trying to steal bicycles." They ran off into the night.

What L word? Leotard?

[Shnercropolis]

Nomenclature?

Oh.

Well.

That's what I get for only watching the movie high.

Please tell me how using a racist word against someone of a race isn't racist?

It seems you're trying to justify racism.

Oh, it was racist - but it helped stop them from stealing people's bicycles, so why not?

Seems legit.

Don't think I would call him culturally African American. To be sure there are white people who are, but Eminem stresses being white in a lot of his music.

Also, the idea of offending him is pretty ridiculous, seeing as how he raps about raping lesbians and killing children.

[Freiheit Reich]

This word shows the racial divide in the USA. People say 'color does not matter' but then blacks freely use the word and are not called racist but whites using the word are called racist.

If color does not matter than we should all feel free to use the word regardless of color. The 'N' word is a good acid test of how colorblind we really are. If we react differently to a black person vs. a non-black person using the word than we are not truly colorblind or fair.

I think I pass this test because I view anybody that uses the word as unfriendly and aggressive in nature. Most gang banger wannabees (the rappers that use the 'N' word) and Confederate supporters (the whites that use the word) would fit into my profile so I think it is accurate.

Racism is prejudice against a certain race. Being racist is pointless and discriminatory.
