"It's not about liking black people, it's about respecting black people.  If you cannot respect an oppressed group, a disparaged group, a subjugated group by not using the very term that was invented to denigrate said group...what kind of person does that make you?"

1). respect does not work collectively, that's a silly notion that you do not believe in so why would i believe in it?

you just a few threads ago were searching desperately(and failing) to find a justifiable reason to tear candace owens(an oppressed women of color - the white whale of the social justice narrative) down, where was this nonsensical notion of respecting all of the members of a group then?

no one believes in respecting all members of any group

there are black people that i do not respect, there are white people that i do not respect and so on and so on

"Simply put...if you know the word is bad (and how can you really not know this) and use it anyway, even just jokingly, you are being exceptionally disrespectful."

2). to who? people that are not part of the conversation?

Now I remember why I blocked you.  Now I'm trying to remember why I unblocked you.

1). *sigh*. So your default position is don't respect anybody?  I mean that kind of says a lot. 

So you have no recognition for the connotation of that word at all?  You take the position that everyone be damned first and who cares what is derogatory?

Are you also trying to say that I have to respect Candace Owens no matter what she does or says simply because she a member of the African American group? Are you conflating collective respect and individual respect?  I think so.  And that again says a lot.

And I'm rather lost on how you can say, "Respect does not work collectively, that's a silly notion that you do not believe in...." How can you tell me what notions I do or do not believe in? Especially regarding this issue whereby you don't understand the difference been group and individual respect. 

2). Yes.  It's a word that should not be part of their utilized vocabulary.  Out of respect for the pain, suffering, subjugation and death that word has brought upon millions of people. But I don't expect you to respect their history.

"So your default position is don't respect anybody?"

"You take the position that everyone be damned first and who cares what is derogatory?"

i didn't say that, i said that respect does not work collectively and you agreed with me since you implied that you do not view candace owens as being worthy of respect despite her belonging to an oppressed group

you don't see how this invalidates your argument?

i think anybody who has even a modicum of common sense assesses people as individuals and determines based on their individual qualities whether they are worthy of respect or not, so they disregard groupings initially and end up with people they respect and people they do not respect regardless of characteristics such as race

the people who do not do that and instead resort to using groupings such as "race" or "sex" or whatever to determine who is worthy of respect are ironically people who i would think we call racists, sexists and so forth

" "Respect does not work collectively, that's a silly notion that you do not believe in...." How can you tell me what notions I do or do not believe in?"

because i've observed your behavior and i gave an example of an occasion where you demonstrated what i'm alluding to

"Out of respect for the pain, suffering, subjugation and death that word has brought upon millions of people."

this is possibly the silliest thing i've read in this entire thread

" I don't expect you to respect their history."

yeah buddy keep denying that i'm black all you want, doesn't change reality and the irony of it is fairly amusing i must admit
