You did not address the question as it pertains to hip-hop. I'll make it even larger: are you ok with members of the black community (around your area, i know it is not some monolithic club) using the terms, "nigger" and "bitch" constantly? I just moved to North NJ and i must say i am not OK with it. But if i bring it up i am some kind of 'bigot' that just doesn't understand 'culture'. To reiterate: do you only decry white racism?

How does this pertain to TempleOS? I mean, I totally understand where you're going with this: The world is so unfair to white people. "Straight Outta Compton" is a big box office hit, but Terry's not allowed to have racist diatribes whenever he feels like it, and it's a double standard because they're both using the n-word. Why can black people call each other that as a term of affection, but it's not okay for white people to use the same word as a slur? Don't worry, you're like the 10 millionth person to go down that line of reasoning and I don't agree with it (bonus points for being even more confusing by throwing sexism into the mix) but I'm also not going to change your mind so it's cool, whatever.

  wow. at no point was i advocating its use as a pejorative or a term of endearment. you may not be aware, but black folks use both as both. addressing the term 'bitch' should not be that confusing, unless of course you espouse the ultra progressive ideology of always being cognizant of differences (so maximum sensitivity is attained) whilst always being completely blind to difference (so maximum non bias is attained) Then i could so how having to think about use case could get tricky. As much as it might please you to be otherwise, that was not my line of reasoning. i asked if you decry racism against whites (or asians, or latinos, or any subgroup) the same, or to the same level that you decry racism against blacks. Your tirade is answer enough.

    Don't confuse a tirade with an effective, accurate parody of your views.

      Satire does not typically switch between parody and self righteous condemnation, but maybe your just breaking new ground in the virgin fields of online humor. Still no answer to my question either.
