I refuse the racist assertion that only black people are allowed to use the word ‘nigger’ and that everyone else has to use asterisks or else call it ‘the n-word’.
If they really wanted everyone to stop using that word then they’d stop using it themselves.
And until they do I will insist on being able to spell it out when it is germane to the topic at hand.
Well said.
Also, I love you!
Pssst...I’m not flirting...happily married for 40 years and my wife is right beside me...:>)
I know, right?
Just another example of demonstrating “we can do this, but you can’t.”
Indeed! I also refute this notion that so called ‘racism’ is only possible from whites and that the country is inundated with it.
I hope they not only go after the networks but go after the talking heads personally as well. Leave them pennyless.
You go girl!
Very correct. I prefer not to use it, but you are entirely correct in your position.
I rarely heard it as a boy, anywhere, much less at home. My parents were authentically conservative, including being not racist.
My mother, who is part Semite and very dark, once said that some of her classmates sometimes thought she must be part black. She used the other term instead, which somewhat surprised me, since my parents did not use it as a rule. She was simply quoting classmates from her childhood, when it was simply what it was: a vernacular rendition of negroe.
She obviously was not degrading herself. She said it to emphasize that she had always been unusually dark.
P.S.
Since she was Prom Queen three years in a row, being that dark obviously did not interfere with her popularity in a white neighborhood in the early 1940s in Wisconsin.
