yes of course because i don't ideologically resemble what you expect of black people 

which is of course fucking racist as fuck but you'll just ignore that of course

Actually, no.  I'll try to track down the thread but you said you were white in one of them.

people in this thread have used the n word, are they racists? spokentruth couldn't answer this question of course

I did answer this.  Several times.  I said it's all about the context.  I'll repost it below:

"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. "

Oh, I get it. He can't be black because he doesn't fit your narrow view of how black people should feel and think.

Not racist at all. /s

See above.  He alluded to being white in a prior thread.  I'm trying to find it.

"Actually, no."

lol its just amazing to me how you are the most racist person i've interacted with for a while but you're either too ignorant or dishonest to see your bullshit for what it is

 

'Words take on different meaning depending on who says them."

so race determines what words mean? and this isn't racism?

how can you ever hope to end racism when every single argument you make is predicated on division along race? are you serious?

what really matters to anyone actually thinking critically is INTENT

 

"In England, chips means the same thing as fries to an American yet chips to them mean crisps to the English"

a stupid argument, again i'll repeat white people in this thread have used the n word, are they automatically racists who think black people are inferior or some shit like that as a result? what is your answer?

 

"again, context is crucial."

the context that matters is whether the user is hostile towards black people or not because otherwise just about everyone is a racist since, for example, many people recite the n word to rap lyrics for example

 

but one thing i must say is that its truly ironic and amusing to me that you, fighting for social justice or some shit like that are trying to justify racism to a black man while claiming ( even though you don't know a single thing about me ) that i'm not black because i don't behave like black people are supposed to
