Unfortunately for you, your use of the n-word is offensive even if you do have a right to say it. You have no real rhyme or reason for using the word... you just "want to" to make a point. Like Paul Mooney once said, "It's people like you who invented the word in the first place". What makes you think that anyone is telling you that you can't say it? So go ahead, say the n-word a hundred times and offend whomever you please. It's your right. Knock yourself out. Fight the power and all that other "we shall overcome" BS. That is what free speech is all about.
However, considering that this is just another one of your lame attempts to make people "pissed" (just like when you told me the AIDS crisis was a scam in a different thread), I knew immediately that your intent and context was malicious and one has to be that desperate to reduce themselves to obvious offensive language just to "have a point". So when others get in your face and call you out for your ignorance, keep in mind that they are also using their right to free speech to put you in your place. That's the other side of free speech that you don't seem to grasp because you'll then complain that people are trying to censor you (which would be a lie since your slur is still visible for everyone to see and read). And if enough people are offended, you just may find yourself ousted from the place(s) you want to exercise it. Just thought I'd let you know.
Bullshit, kid. With my foul mouth, you couldn't figure out that I wasn't the most "PC" person on the board? I mean, you should know that already. But if you didn't get it from the many times I called you "stupid" in a previous thread for trying to argue that "money is debt", perhaps the last line in my post should have been your clue. Here it is again:
You don't have to call me an African American, but if you want to use another aggressive word in its place you had better make sure I not only understand your context & intent, but that we also have enough respect for one another for me to believe that you actually mean it.
And after your antics from a previous thread, I can tell you that I don't respect you. However, I've heard the n-word and other derogatory words directed at me by people like you more times than an NWA CD on infinite repeat so watching you pretend to grow a set of balls and use a slur in the name of "free speech" is something I can easily roll my eyes at and yawn. Do try to understand who you're trying to get all philosophical on when it comes to speech. I am a black, gay male in an interracial, intergenerational relationship. You couldn't even begin to fathom the amount of negativity and hate people like me receive. Your little spat doesn't mean a thing to me.
Bullshit. You do realize that you're typing this in a public forum where other people can read and come up with their own decisions? That's the problem with free speech... you never know who else is around to see or hear what you say or do. You can try and pretend that their opinions don't matter all you want. Just because I know you're acting ignorant and have become quite numb to anyone using the n-word for no specific reason, that doesn't mean that others won't be so "gentle" on you.
Which is why if you were the least bit considerate of other people's feelings, you wouldn't have gone to such extremes. Perhaps you'll learn the hard way now that you made a total ass of yourself?
