Good article about the Nword

evince said:
Neal Lester, an Arizona State University English professor who has taught a course on the n-word, noted it has been described as "the most toxic in the English language," a term "almost magical in its negative power," and a slur that "occupies a place in the soul where logic and reason never go."
"The word is inextricably linked with violence and brutality on Black psyches and derogatory aspersions cast on Black bodies," he said in an interview. "No degree of appropriating can rid it of that blood-soaked history."

There's no denying the odious history of the word in this country. I don't know if there is a worst word in our language.

In regards to Joe Rogan my understanding, which could be wrong, is that he wasn't calling a black person(s) the N*word rather he was using it in reference to others using it. One can definitely argue white people should never use the word, but the context in which he used it is relevant and in that regard people stating its comparable to Jan 6th and he's needs to be deplatformed are essentially arguing black people are so frail that the nuance doesn't matter and they can't handle it.

The reality today is kids (of all races) grow up listening to hip hop and the n*word is used frequently in the lyrics. Therefore many kids (of all races) use the word because it's seen as cool and hip. (I'm not justify it, just stating reality.) There are also (non black kids) who use the word with malicious intent and that should never be accepted.

Yep. She doesn't really care about black people or the n word. She just uses both toattack her political enemies.

Notice how she won't respond to my question about the racist bungler in chief?

Is this thread about road blocks? Your op was about Joe Rogan using the n word. Idiot.

Agreed on all of that. I don't really get how this happened, but neither context nor intent is considered anymore. All you have to do is repeat the word, and you're generally branded a racist.

I also think it highlights and perpetuates divisions when certain people can use a word, and certain people can't. Not that I want to be able to say the word - it's an ugly word, and I wish it just didn't exist. But it does, and we give it too much power.

Unless you're Desh. Or Brad**. Or Christiecrite. Or Joe Biden.

Right?

Of course I noticed. She can't respond, because she's a hypocrite.

She herself has posted the word she pretends to abhor (in others).




She gave herself a pass by claiming she was just repeating what someone else said.

She could have changed it to N****r like I did when I reply quoted Matt Dillon. But she chose not to. Obviously she doesn't find the word as abhorrent as she claims to.

Obviously. And she didn't "reply quote" anyone, did she?

You know that she's boasted repeatedly about assaulting a Black man, right?

Yes, it's not surprising. She is an obvious racist who tries to camouflage her racism with a deluge of accusations against others. Transparent and pathetic imo.

Anyone who was really bothered by the word wouldn't perpetuate it, even in someone else's post that they reply quoted. :dunno:

Especially since she didn't "reply quote" anyone in the two instances cited.

She obviously knows how to use the "Reply With Quote" function, and she didn't.

Nigger...and I am 'white'.

You progressives (and anyone else uptight on this) can shove it with your cancel culture, hyper PC nonsense.
And I do not give a shit about Joe Rogan.
But trying to destroy someone's career simply for saying a single word decades earlier is fucking NUTS!!!
This has GOT to stop...now!!!

Nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger.
Cracker, Cracker, Cracker, Cracker, Cracker, Cracker.

I believe that there is only one race...the human race.
ALL of us are the SAME race.
There is no black race or white race or native race or....

And either NO one can say nigger.
Or everyone can say nigger.
Period.

Have a nice day.

Oh...by the way...nigger, kike, wop, cracker, honky, cracker jack, whitey, spic, nip, chink, cracker-ass whitey honky, etc..

Bilbo, a US Senator from Mississippi, felt free enough to tell White supporters during an election campaign in 1946 that "I call on every red-blooded White man to use any means to keep the n***ers away from the polls."
US Sen. Theodore G. Bilbo of Mississippi ran for reelection in 1946 on a White supremacy platform.

Bilbo won the Democratic primary and faced no opposition in the general election, but his Senate colleagues barred him from taking his seat in the chamber because of his open racism.
