Okay, fine, if I take away that last bit, would you acknowledge my main point? If this is all just a natural evolution of language, why does it all come from american academic institutions and corporations?
- etchalon 5y agoSo your argument is that the only reason we stopped using the N-word colloquially is because Ford and Harvard made a pact to get rid of it?
- thegrimmest 5y agoI'm not sure we've all stopped using it, have we?
- etchalon 5y agoThere is rarely a literal "all" when it comes to culture.
- thegrimmest 5y agoI was referring to the rather large segment of the population which continues to use it in popular culture just fine.
- etchalon 5y agoAh, the "Why do Black people get to say it?" question that absolutely no one has a problem answering.
- thegrimmest 5y agoGo on then, not only "why do black people get to say it?" But "who is black enough to say it?" and "who gets to decide who is black enough to say it?"
- colpabar 5y agoNo, I made a point about a specific thing and you keep not responding to it, so I give up.
- etchalon 5y agoThat was your argument. If you don't think it was your argument, re-read your argument, and consider the example I gave.
