So then let's call a spade a spade. If I use the word n.igger, its because that person IS a n.igger, whether they be black or white or somewhere in between.
Ok, say that to someone specific (no broad group or generalizations now) that you think is one -- right into his/her face and then report back to us! Deal?
Al Sharpton would be fine. Then Ted Kennedy. The list goes on and on.
After all, our culture has been desensitized to these words, unless of course it is a white person saying them.
