So you're saying that we shouldn't do things if people threaten us?
Do you really believe that?
A "EVERYBODY USE THE N-WORD DAY" is unlikely to happen -- precisely because no-one would actual kill someone for drawing a cartoon offensive to black people, even if it called them all niggers or something. You see, I did it there but I won't even get any death threats.
Contrast with someone drawing one cartoon and actually being killed, you know, his blood splashed across the ground.
Also, it's one thing some kids never learn at school -- if you can't take a bit of teasing, then you get picked on. If you get picked on, you either: get miserable, get used to being teased, or become the crazy kid, the one even the bullies won't touch, who kicks and bites, and even the teachers despise.
But they're not in school any more, and they need to grow up. Take offence if you want, but threats, violence and murder are a child's solution.

One nutcase's actions should result in offending millions more who express their hurt in their own homes quietly. If a guy killed another for using the n-word, I would not be rooting for a LETS HAVE AN N-WORD DAY and offend millions others who have little to do with that one nutcase. Perhaps you and I are sensitive to different things. So you're saying that we shouldn't do things if people threaten us? If a few guys threaten you, do you offend millions others just so you can get back at the few idiots?
- Robin_Message 16y agoThat is a fair point. I am not brave or sure enough to post my rebuttal, so I accept your argument that, in the case of solitary nutcases, or a few idiots, it is not right to offend the majority.
