I'm pretty sure most people with any common knowledge in australia know black people were slaves because people all across the world knew black people were slaves not only in America but all across Europe and North America.

Your point was wrong, invalid, stupid, incorrect.

You're dumb.

. if you grew up in australia and never knew that black people were slaves in america it wouldn't make it okay to say the n-word just due to your ignorance.

No...some people were brought up (like me) where that word, like, I didn't even know it was referred to as someone with a mental disability...whenever we are referring to someone with one, we state the actual disability. I use this word every once in a while (on accident nowadays, since I realize it offends some people) but it is never, never meant to be hateful.

Bottomline is: some people were brought up to where this word was part of there speech, and it was never meant hatefully towards people or even to be analogous with people who have a mental disability. I completely understand where some people would be offended, but honestly, it's not a slur or cussword at all in my opinion.


okay but it doesn't matter if you don't know any better. if you grew up in australia and never knew that black people were slaves in america it wouldn't make it okay to say the n-word just due to your ignorance. just because you didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings doesn't make it okay, because words actually do have meanings that your tiny sliver of a perspective doesn't affect at all


Don't compare the n word and the r word you moron they're completely different


Man it must be really really awful to lack that much reading comprehension

retardation used to be the politically correct word once upon a time. then the age came when people started getting sensitive over nothing and the word took a backseat in society.


You're right, it has nothing to do with the fact that (a) people began to use the term offensively rather than for the purpose of benign description or (b) the term is no longer a clinical diagnosis.


so basically because people have been using it offensively lately, the word should be automatically considered hc upon sight?


I already said it's not HC. Keep up with the Kardashians, buddy.

it hasn't been used offensively "lately," it's been used offensively for a long time.
