What's ironic here is how conservative your position is: defending the status quo that the n-word must reflexively provoke outrage. People are imploring you to accept that times are changing and the word is being disassociated from hate, yet you're sticking to the 40 year old definition because "that's just how it always was".
Doesn't that remind you of something?
- aspaceman 8y ago??? I don't care how conservative my opinion is. I don't equate the quality of arguments and opinions with which adjectives can be used to describe them. Also please point to which decade it was where the n-word was "disassociated from hate". When has the word not been used in a hateful way? Calling people the n-word provokes outrage because it is an outrageous thing to do. The word has a history and we all know it. > People are imploring you to accept that times are changing and the word is being disassociated from hate The only people imploring me of this are random folks on the Internet. I talk to black folks all the time in the real world, and you know what? It's still not ok.
