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

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. "

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

I agree with you on this,my whole life has been affected by people being racist so it should be clear im against it but here they seem to attach a skincolour to racism or hold different meanings for racism depending on skincolour and sadly that is the thing they should be fighting against cause thinking like that IS racism.

Its almost like people want to pull others towards the side of extremism and it is overlooked because left racism is more accepted ?
