I say it then laugh it off with some remark like "haha, no worries - we were oppressed too, we built the railroads!" (in Canada) Then I usually do a fist bump and say 'Dyno-mite!" | ||

Also, in Toronto (a very multicultural city) I've never seen anyone actually get offended by the term nigger. Only people I see are old people, but any cuss will get them angry. | ||

Would you censor yourself if there was a black guy in the car? I can't think of any concrete examples from my past experiences, but I think I would keep singing along as if it were any other curse word. I find it weird that someone could find it acceptable to repeat words like fuck, cunt, fucking cunt etc. but saying the n-word is crossing the line. I could see how someone could be offended, but I don't believe that they should be. Any thoughts or anecdotes on this scenario or on the n-word in general? It's all contextual. The n-word is offensive because of the fact that black people were shipped over as slaves to America and were treated very badly. Therefore it's not just a word, it carries alot of meaning. Then again cunt and other words regarding women and their genitalia (pussy comes to mind) carry alot of meaning too. Women haven't exactly been treated that well historically either, and that's why these words make people sensitive, for good reason. Now, if you see it as JUST a word then fine. However I disagree with that notion. Our languague is a powerful tool and we define everything around us with language and the words we use are central in giving things meaning. Thus the word "nigger" is not just a word made up of 6 letters, it's a concept. Anyways, like I said it's contextual. So while you might sit at home screaming nigger along with the lyrics to a hip-hop song it's not really an issue if you aware of it's connotations and just do it to be able to sing along. If you however call black people niggers to their face you should know better and will probably understand that it's not just a word. | ||
