So they get special rights to use it because they are black?
It's Ok for Uncle Buck to call me a fat skank and a cunt, but i can't use the "n" word? Why is that? Maybe if he weren't so rude and mean I'd quit trolling him with that word.
It's not ok for buck to call you a fat cunt.
But two wrongs don't make a right.
If a black dude is mean to you, and genuinely deserving of scorn, so you call him a dumb nigger. Fair enough, he earned it.
But suppose his son, or perhaps another black mans son is near by, a young boy. He hears you call a black man that. You hurt that child just as much as him. The n word is a word that cannot be said to one person given our history. It's a word that has been given the meaning of centuries of slavery, segregation, and lynching.
People say it. Bill Maher can get by with saying it. But 99 percent of whites cannot.
It isn't special rights blacks get by saying it. It means something entirely different when they say it.
But, I doubt this is a word you say in public when you think there is any chance a black person might be around.
