Racism exists in the US. It's just more on a personal, individual level now instead of a public, systemic level. We've made a lot of strides since the 50s/60s and the Jim Crow Era. Do you disagree?

Not saying the n-word being racist is a hell of a take.

Literally all evidence says the opposite with regards to racism not being on a systemic level.

I don't fantasize about violence. Actually, quite the opposite and overall, I'm fairly easy going.

I carry my gun with me all the time. Mostly because i store it in my car. I've never needed to point it at anyone and hopefully never will.

You'll be woman so long as you keep commenting on the virtues, opinions, and beliefs of others instead of simply stating your own.

But anyway, good job, Lucy.

Saying the "n-word" instead of ****** in casual conversation is actually quite racist. It's designed to get the listener to say the word in their own mind. Furthermore, having a word that is so offensive against one race that it can't even be spoken in casual conversation when quoting someone is racist. There's no other word we categorize this way. It's only one word against one race. Essentially, you are saying every other race is better than black people since no other word can cripple an entire race the way ****** can to black people.

Nate, are you fearful of going to black neighborhoods?

Nah. My best friend lived in Wellston for a long time, I'd hang out at his house until two or three in the morning before driving home.

I've lived in LA, Chicago, Atlanta, and STL; if I was afraid of going to black neighborhoods, I'd have hardly been able to leave my house most of the time.

Litany of straw men here aside, do the rest of the words people say not enter your mind somehow?

Well, what's another word that's so offensive it shouldn't be spoken in general conversation when quoting someone?

That's not an answer.

You want a list of offensive words?

I want a list of words that are so offensive, even quoting another person makes you a racist, sexist, bigot, whatever. Other than ****** of course. The funny thing is, even me using "******" you still know what word i mean.

Again: do the rest of the words people say not enter your mind? By your own convoluted logic, wouldn't giving you the list in a way that doesn't just turn into a bunch of stars just make one or both of us racist, sexist, etc?

There's no word that carries the same gravity as ******. Comedian John Mulaney has a bit in which he talks about writing for an awards show and wanting to use the word "midget" in a joke. An executive admonished him and said you can't use midget because midget is like the n-word. At which point Mulaney pointed out when comparing the badness of words, the one you won't even say is worse.

My point is that be continuing to give the word so much power, we as white people, are claiming to be better than black people. There's no word that can hurt white people the same way. White people are impenetrable to any one word- cracker, honkey, mayo, etc. But one word cam cripple a black person...you must feel so superior.

I'm aware of the bit.

None of this is answering my question, despite you returning to the straw man from above.

People say a lot of offensive words. None are any worse than the others imo.

And none of them enter your mind, except when they only refer to the word without saying it?
