"shut up you stupid black n*gger"

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you so lemme try to clear this up. Are you saying anyone can start saying the n-word as long as they promise they definitely don't mean it in a racist way? And if not what exactly do you perceive as the difference?

I made a post about 3 years ago and we had a huge thread about certain users being racially charged against this site's Black users in which Laexio equated his inexperience with racism as a white European as a point of fact.

For me I think it's a huge joke that other people can't/are scared use the N word in the same context that we do, especially since it's one of my favorite words to use. In fact I think Slow was a huge proponent of the word at one point which makes his points even more hilarious.

let's talk about how medically the r word was used and "stupid" has not

Or are you saying we're straight up wrong when we say it's a slur to begin with?

I think that I'm right whenever no one can produce counterexamples to my assertions.

Yea lets ignore your liberal use of autist when saying all this.

The problem you're running into is that the word isn't a slur. Even when used offensively toward people it applies to it's being used in context, whereas most slurs are words created or redefined to be used as such.

"ok sure, i guess the word does have a history of being used to marginalize or entirely invalidate huge groups of people for something they were born with, but when I say it i really just mean kinda dumb, so it's fine!!"

I'm sorry, find one instance of me doing this or even one instance of me implying this instead of reading the OP.

Nah, you're wrong. Carry on.

It's generally used as a slow against people with cognitive disabilities. No one that has been reported for using that word toward someone was telling them to slow down.

Logging those mod hours are we?

It's actually most commonly used as an insult towards stupidity as no other single word has enough power to make a stupid person consider their actions. But thank you for not reading the OP.

People feel entitled to do or say things that they do not entirely understand the meaning behind. Either that or they just don't care.
