In reply to the discussion: NY case puts N-word use among blacks on trial [View all]JohnnyRingo
(18,581 posts)After all, Lisa Lampanelli uses it on every album she records, so that must mean all women call each other that name. That is the same reason racists use to justify their desire to make the word nigger a part of their regular radio broadcasts and daily discussion.
The people who seek approval don't want this social permission in a quest for equality, they just can't think of a word that better describes their abject hatred for an entire race. Go call Ann Coulter a cunt to her face and see if she sits politely on her hands.
Sure Lampanelli is shock humor, and African Americans sometimes refer to each other as niggas, but no white person has ever used that word in a complimentary fashion, and never will. Just like cunt, it's meant to demean and abase, nothing more. Such language is a backhand to the face or a whip across the back, depending on who wields it.
Besides, everyone has the right to use any words they want, but no one can cry foul when society strikes back. Limbaugh can call Obama a nigga and Hillary a cunt on the radio, we all know he wants to, but he knows deep down it would end his career.
