pail Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I hate to be that guy (not really), but a word only has as much power as you put into it. I really believe that this is a non issue. People get insulted all the time by a multitude of words. Yet none of them carry the stigma of the word "n*gg*r." It's just a word. Also don't construe this a racist post, or me as being a racist apologist. I'm simply stating that the weight of this one particular word is completely overblown.

Sawdamizer Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 I mean, to you... sure. But people are effected differently than others, obviously. Some people can take physical pain and not mental pain... this word or any word could mean something very hurtful to someone... like saying the word rape around someone as in "they got raped in that game" could trigger. Now... no words hurt me... but that isn't to say that I don't get it... and I'm the first one to call someone a r*t*rd or a f*gg*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdamizer Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 The point I see herenis Bill is a try hard edgelord... like Kathy Griffith... though much more successful in his career. He pushed the line and got burned... he invited, I guess, who he feels could basically lash him and show some context because of his (Ice Cubes) career.... Bottom line is.... he should get jumped in Compton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who has been raped would more than likely be uncomfortable because of it. But the majority of that has to do with the recent memory and being able to create immediate connections. In the case of the N-word, though, I don't feel like there's a whole lot of immediacy involved with it. It's a derogatory word, but I don't believe it is imbued with the hatred and malice today that it was 50, 100, and so on years ago. Sure a racist person might invest personal hatred into it if he doesn't like a black person, he might yell "Get out of here ******!" But I feel like it doesn't carry the same weight as it once used to. It's not like a person could yell something like that these days and get and crowd of people around him to join in and amass enough support to force a black person to fear for their life. Quite the opposite, if someone blurted out something like that today the majority of people within earshot would chastise that person for living in the past and clinging to a long forgotten, less progressive point in time. I will say this, though. Ultimately, it is up to the black community at large to "own" the word and disempower it themselves. Now we could go off on another tangent as to why they don't make more concerted efforts in moving towards that direction... but that will just open up a whole new can of worms.

PhilosipherStoned Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I personally think he shouldn't have said that, or could have been a lot more charasmatic with it, but I think it's kind of reverse racism in a way to say something like (that's OUR word now) You are seperating and segregating groups of people by trying to establish a norm for them either way; which is the textbook..LITERAL definition of racism.
