Uh, no. Because black people using the word has a different meaning, purpose and function. Again, context is crucial. Words take on different meaning depending on who says them. In England, chips means the same thing as fries to an American yet chips to them mean crisps to the English. This is imply meant to be an example of context of speaker. Here, it's a geographical divide that denotes context. For the N-word, it's a racial divide that denotes context.
You're almost there. The race of the user is part of the context. It takes on a completely different connotation depending on who uses it and how. See what I wrote above. That said, of course it can used by white people under a set of given circumstances. For social research, historical re-enactments, art,....again, context is crucial. I keep saying that. |
Well see that is our disagreement there,for me this word has a different meaning on how it is said and for you it's about what race uses it in this case and it seems sargon used the N word that much to offend Nazi's, its dumb he used it and he can be called out for that ofcourse but in this context it does not make him racist.
I do not think a skincolour should keep on bearing the sins of the forefathers or the grudges of the forefather's and we do not need to see everyone that likes freedom of speech on these words as bad people because its not because they aprove the freedom that they condone the unrespectfull words used but there are other negatives we can use before directly going to one of the biggest(racist) that make's the target to be viewed as a monster instead of a flawed person and doing this also makes the public blind to truth.
You will most likely dissagree with alot of my comment here but people that have a different view than you on this mostly are also very much against racism so do not let this thread dishearten you too much.
