Interesting. n/t Smarmie Doofus Sep 2013 #1

Doesn't it depend on whether the word "nigga" was used, as opposed to "n****r"? (nt) Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #2

It does to me. bravenak Sep 2013 #4

If it's used in a "rant" and a "tirade" Fla_Democrat Sep 2013 #3

I thought the use of any slur in the workplace is unacceptable. Alenne Sep 2013 #5

yep- this article is bullshit- quite deliberately obtuse. bettyellen Sep 2013 #6

I agree. And it serves as a dog whistle for caucasian dipsh!ts looking for an excuse Heidi Sep 2013 #7

"yup, uppity black folks want to use words we whites should not!" boo fucking hoo. bettyellen Sep 2013 #8

That was certainly my take when I saw the subject line. Heidi Sep 2013 #9

Oh yeah, posting RW flame bait "without comment" is certainly a thing, ain't it? bettyellen Sep 2013 #10

That's the field that this poor sap plows daily. bettyellen Sep 2013 #17

Jurors #3 & #4!!!!! RandiFan1290 Sep 2013 #24

And no one has a word in defense of this OP. So, no libertarian jackasses on that bettyellen Sep 2013 #41

Even the OP doesn't defend his OP. He's probably posting something about smoking, then guns,... CreekDog Sep 2013 #42

he knows how to skirt the rules, and that sexism is okay here. But racist stuff- he can hide behind bettyellen Sep 2013 #43

posting that it's white, male, smokers, and gun owners who are the downtrodden in society CreekDog Sep 2013 #45

The OP never has posted a complaint about the N-word when it was used by white people CreekDog Sep 2013 #18

In group versus out group use. It's not a difficult concept. Cerridwen Sep 2013 #11

its an interesting subject, I and my contemporaries use language with each other loli phabay Sep 2013 #14

Affinity and empathy. Those are the main ingredients. Cerridwen Sep 2013 #20

no knowing your audience means simply that, if someone with the same background as me loli phabay Sep 2013 #27

I didn't expect you to understand. n/t Cerridwen Sep 2013 #29

seems that you also dont understand so we will call it an impasse. loli phabay Sep 2013 #30

Hell, if it makes you feel vindicated, Cerridwen Sep 2013 #34

thank you, a win is a win. all your base are belong to us loli phabay Sep 2013 #37

you use derogatory language in your job, say things that would be offensive to race/gender/sexuality CreekDog Sep 2013 #22

who says anything about work, assumptions much loli phabay Sep 2013 #23

so you use the language outside of work, but with work colleagues? CreekDog Sep 2013 #26

no, once again i and my contemporaries use words that outsiders using mean something different loli phabay Sep 2013 #28

the OP is about using the N-word CreekDog Sep 2013 #31

seems you miss the whole that some words are used within groups loli phabay Sep 2013 #32

then which words are you referring to that you and your colleagues use? CreekDog Sep 2013 #33

not colleagues, contemporaries. there are ethnic and cultural references loli phabay Sep 2013 #36

such as? CreekDog Sep 2013 #38

once again you miss the point, its self deprecating within a cultural and ethnic group loli phabay Sep 2013 #39

because you dont' have the guts to give one example of what you're talking about CreekDog Sep 2013 #40

simple one for you, the use of the word fenian, when used within the group its acceptable loli phabay Sep 2013 #44

so this is a term that most people in rural Virginia understand CreekDog Sep 2013 #46

who says its rural virginia or my contemporaries are in or from rural virginia loli phabay Sep 2013 #48

Right, that's your schtick, everyone who disagrees with you is "obtuse" CreekDog Sep 2013 #49

no just you, its obvious you are being obtuse as i have since given you two examples loli phabay Sep 2013 #50

Did anyone else pick up on this? derby378 Sep 2013 #25

Not really...In that context it still means close friend, confidant, etc... Blue_Tires Sep 2013 #47

Reminds me of a Stephen A. Smith rant. Supersedeas Sep 2013 #53

I'm going to stay out of this one badtoworse Sep 2013 #35

as well it should have. because whites whining for the right to use the N-word is not progressive. bettyellen Sep 2013 #51

It was really about the hypocrisy badtoworse Sep 2013 #52
