The essential point you're making then, is that you dont want black people to be offended when you say the word nigger....because thats the one thing I was referring to in my post.
Good luck getting that to happen.

no, you're right about "nigger" but what I'm saying is that we shouldn't base our lives or speech around the idea that something is owed to certain people and that they deserve special treatment to "get even" with how they were treated in the past.
I guess my point was more of a sidenote than a direct response to what you said, but the mention of slavery got me on the issue.

Which is a stupid point. It's like trying to pressure women to not get insulted when you call them a "bitch", or gays to get insulted when you call them "faggot" -
If I walked up to you oh so liberal progressive minded people and addressed your mother/sister/girlfriend "Hey bitch". . .or "Hey honky-bitch" (just so we can get some racist/sexist material in there) - are you REALLY going to let that roll off the side - please, you'd be ready to fight, even if I said it with a genuine smile and used it "humorously".

White people can say nigger on the internet. Why do they need to say it in RL?

But blacks were shat on simply because they were black and literally thought to be inferior to a white 'human.'

we've gone way beyond the point. the N-bomb isnt even a relevant to his situation. I would fully agree he should get shit canned if he called someone a nigger. calling them nappy headed ho's is wrong but it has the same connotation as calling them white trash ho's. he said they were dirty unkept ho's not hardcore nigga bitches. it was a shitty joke, he apoligized his ass off and its just got blown out of proportions, his actions do not deserve a firing, fining and suspension sure but Im sure that every shock jock has called some chick ugly or a bitch or something much worse.
