(18,124 posts)I heard the word nigger said by a neighbour's son recently. It actually hurt my feelings, at the time. That is until I realized HOW EASILY the word rolled off the lips of this young person. It was meant to describe a lot of people at a McDonalds where he and his wife and child went to. My neighbour had the phone on speaker. Direct quote, "hey I have to go to one FURTHER OUT, too many niggers inside and in the drivethru".
So you using the Nword is taboo, well it should be since it's been taboo since wypipo started using it to describe a whole race and used with a hateful message implied. When the WORD used to describe ALL AA in a negative sense is eradicated from the English language and usage by white people, then all people can stop using the WORD(S) you described that identify a SUBSET of white people, NOT the whole race of white people.
It is a white pride, privilege and entitlement mindset that has kept the word nigger as a description of a whole race of humanity just trying to survive the hate, ignorance and stupidity of a LARGE subset of another race, 66 million at last count for sure.
Rural white people are going to vote en masse for the likes trump no matter what term is used against them to describe the racists among them.
