Well yeah it's a double standard, but there's a good reason for it with centuries of linguistic baggage. And white people don't really have anything to gain by using the word. It's like women saying "hey why can't I piss in a urinal?!??" The answer is "you don't have a penis." This is the same issue (even though some women do it anyway). There's just no reason to argue it because there's nothing to win. Honestly, the word is much better off now than it was 50 or 100 years ago. Now you can actually say "nigger" in a book without it getting banned. You just can't pull a Michael Richards and repeatedly scream it into a microphone at a group of blacks. I mean, it's perfectly legal, but not too smart. It's like... Marty McFly can call himself chicken, but I fucking DARE you to call him a chicken. There's no reason to call him a chicken unless you WANT what's going to happen afterwards. |
