Actually it will, if you simply stop using a word if fall out of the cultural vocabulary. Just like nobody uses the words ye, thou, dost, boeotians (ancient slur) etc. Language always changes and it changes with each new generation. If a generation kids could grow up never having to have heard the word nigger they would never use it, thus rappers who constantly shout the word over the airwaves are doing a disservice to their own race.
Also, how is the black man at greater fault when the incident of assault would have never occured had the person dishing the insult kept their mouth shut? Not saying assault is the solution, but if you insult a person with a racial slur and get beat down, don't be surprised by the consequences. This is like defending a porn star who goes on Ghetto Gaggers, gets degraded, then placing the blame on the guys who degraded her because she wasn't aware of the criteria involved. No it's her fault for making a poor decision in life, just as it's the racist person's fault for making a horrible decision. |
I wasn't defending the lady at all.
