[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing morally wrong with using the N word as an interjection.

However it is indeed a risky endeavor as it can result in premature ending of a career due to being branded a racist by an angry mob of white liberals.[/quote]

I don't understand - how does a racial slur even become part of your vocabulary? Of course we've all heard the N-word before. But do you go from hearing it... to[b] using[/b] it in your vernacular? [/quote]

The phrase she used was extremely bizarre and not common. Maybe she grew up hearing it (from parents, grandparents, etc) and simply never questioned it?[b] I dunno, there are many ways a word can be a part of your vocabulary without you necessarily being a causal, closeted racist[/b].[/quote]

How on earth do you not know that the N-word is a deeply offensive term?

I grew up in Boston in the 80's. The R-word was incredibly common and normal, everywhere. I learned how offensive it is, and I stopped using it as I grew up. End of story. It doesn't just "slip out" when you understand the significance of these incredibly hurtful terms. Unless of course, you don't think they're hurtful and continue to use them.

And unlike the R-word, the N-word has ALWAYS been a slur. For centuries. [/quote]

Not *thinking* about what your weird turn of phrase means =/= not knowing a specific word is offensive.

Honestly, it seems like some of you are just desperate to turn off your brains and crucify this woman.

To repeat, it’s performative.[/quote]

Its virtue signaling.  Some people really need validation of their high moral character.  Especially when they live in a gated community and dont really have any real problems to deal with.[/quote]
