When making a single point, don't number it, it just looks weird.

Anyway, can you explain the comment in question?

1. When the word is used between blacks, it's equal to the word "dude" not  meant to insult and it's said nigga not nigger..Dr. Laura needs to watch the Boondocks to know thw difference lol.

Why is it not ok for me to use that word, but my black friend can? It seems a bit hypocritical to me. If I said it I would be lectured for misusing a word in an insulting way, when that person can use it freely.

Did I say that? No. The woman Didn't like the word and the good Dr used it in a pointless matter....whene blacks say it balcks it isn't meant as an insult.

I don't know if I'm misusing the word "fallacy", but here's how I see your argument:

1) The word 'nigger' can be used in a hateful or non-hateful context. It can be used as a derogatory term for black skinned people, or it can be used to refer to a companion.

2) If a black skinned person says it, it's always in the latter context. If a white skinned person says it, it's always in the former context.

I don't know what fallacy you call that, if it is a fallacy at all, but that's just plain  fucking retarded. That's not really an argument, but just really extreme statements of facts.

Oh, and enough of this fucking mythical status of the word 'nigger'. It can be a very ugly word, it can be a very hateful and painful word to hear. But so are many words, whether or not they are racist, sexist, etc. Sometimes, there may not even be a non-hateful context with some words. But even still, it shouldn't be to the fucking point that we just become paralyzed and become incapable of any mature discussion as if the word 'nigger'=Lord Voldemort. You guys are like the people who banned 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'.

once again..ignorance, you cant tell anybody else how there suppose to feel or react based on comments they feel are offensive.
