Why is it idiotic?All of which is utterly idiotic.
You had to ask that? Really?
i don't believe the people who say they've never said it. like the thread title says....it's one of those "taboo" words.
everyone has said it just to hear themselves say it.
Nigger is a racial epithet - it's not a matter of PC. There are words in every language that are meant as insults some of those insults are based in race, "nigger" is one of those words. This has nothing to do with political correctness, it has to do with the definition and use of the term.
Mainly whitey. I don't really like blacks using it either. Bill Cosby was right on that one.
Is "nigger" equal to "cracker"?
If not, why?
Are they not equivalent racist slurs?
I thought the N word was nancyboy.

HULK NOT SISSY! HULK STRAIGHT!
No. Think of it this way. When the white man calls the black man a nigger, he's asserting that the black man deserves to be whipped. When the black man calls the white man a cracker, he's acknowledging it.
Umm. Wake are you really asking this? If you were such a deep thinker? You would know what is correct.
Unlike other black people, I am disgusted with such racial hypocrisy emanating from their side. They say a racial slur against black people is worse than a racial slur against white people. To not realize that all racism is equally wrong reveals the racist.
All racism should not be tolerated, justified, or compared. It is hate; there is no justification. Stop using the past as a constant excuse. Progress.
Really? So you see no difference between racism against a minority than against a dominant majority?

Please stop telling other people what they see and believe, particularly when you have no idea what you're talking about.I see hatred.
You see justified hatred.
The effects of racism on a minority have more influence than the effects of racism on a majority. For instance, if 10 people were in a room - 2 black, 8 white - and both groups were racist towards one another, which group would be more affected? Answer: The one with the black people.Can you explain why it matters if they are a miniority or not?

I don't evaluate racism solely from a moral standpoint since racism is not solely a moral issue. Like you, I believe that all racism is morally wrong. At the same time, I recognize that some racism has more harmful and meaningful effects than others. In the United States, racism against whites clearly has less harmful affects since whites make up the majority of the population (and the majority of authority) and are more likely to encounter people who think of them as equals. It is the opposite for black Americans.What do you believe, then, theplaydrive?
Surely, when you take issue with a racial slur directed at one race, yet overlook a racial slur directed at another, it leaves room for speculation.
Do you think all racism is equally wrong, or that some hatred is justifiable?
There is absolutely nothing in my posts to even suggest that I believe racism is justified. Some advice: read what's there, you don't have to interpret.This seems a little strange, theplaydrive. It almost seems as though you think numbers justify racism. All are affected, numbers be damned. Neither might nor numbers equal right.
If I were in a room with 9 white people---we being the only living humans---would it be right for me to racially slander them because I should assume they are barely affected?
