Tubes mate, you're thinking way too much into this. It's not a strait jacket

Oh but it is, apparently. A debate about racial injustice should obviously look at how white people should be able to use the n word, in the right contexts obvs.

I hope no one minds the Gibson’s Dog thread I am about to create.

In other words, the only time you'd really have to use that word is to test the boundaries of white people's ability to say it?

No, whilst discussing exactly how and why the word came to be and why its social context is how it is.

Otherwise you're advocating white historians proper Voldemort it and speak of it without mentioning it, which would be absurd.

Have a cup of tea mate. As a general rule, don't say the N word. But we'll trust your judgement on it when it comes to incredibly specific exceptions. How about that?

I'm confused. Are you saying we should be able to use the word?

In certain context yes. In others, obviously no. There's nothing confusing about what I'm saying.

If we're discussing the Dambusters raid and the need to discuss the codewords used during it comes about, I can't say "the word that shall not be named" instead of the actual word just because I'm white, while a black person would be allowed to type it. It'd be ludicrous.

I really think that word is the easiest thing not to say, it's a slam dunk for us. Who gives an eff if black people can use it? Just use your common sense ffs

At its simplest form your argument is, it's one of the worst words one person can use but can be used almost as a term of endearment from another person. It's a shockingly offensive word but who's keeping it alive? The people it's most offensive to.. that word could mostly consigned to history books within a generation if black people stopped using it.

I'm fairly sure it was just two days ago I was pointing out that this is exactly how this would all go, and you were saying I was wrong then too.

You're only blaming the far right now because you can see the error being made. Unfortunately mate, this wasn't made by Tommy Robinson: https://www.toppletheracists.org/

The left are starting to flap like a bird chased by a dog now they realise the looney contingent in their rank has once again distorted their original message and with it have lost any chance of winning the hearts and minds of the silent majority.
 
Just say the N word. What’s the issue with that?

You know if you’re using the word just how offensive it can be to some people so why not just avoid it.

Life will be easier for everyone.

In what situation would you find yourself in where you feel the need to use thy word anyway?
