That's f**king rubbish and one of THE most tedious points that apologists for racists make

How difficult is it to understand? Inflammatory language is not about the word itself - the letters it contains, the noise it makes when you say it - but it is about the context, the emphasis, the feeling and the intent.

If a white person uses the 'N' word about a black man, it is meant to insult, to demean, to offend and to belittle. It is an example of racism.

If a black man uses about one of his own, it is used ironically, to lessen the impact of the word, to try and claim it back - all manner of reasons.

I get so f**king wound up by the kind of disingenuous poppycock which suggests that all words serve exactly the same purpose no matter who says them and in what context.

It really isn't very f**king difficult to understand and frankly the argument you promote is the argument of the moron. That is all.
