EPTI 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?

Would you censor yourself if there was a black guy in the car? I would not rap/sing along if there was anyone else in the car. If I was alone and singing, I would not censor myself. ^^ | ||

Saying words like fuck cunt or fucking cunt probably wouldn't offend anyone in the car because they weren't adressed at them, or related to them in any way. But if a girl was in the car, they probably wouldn't like you using the word "cunt", because it relates to them in a way and they feel offended by that language. I understand why a black person would be offended if you said it, just because of how it used to be used >.< | ||

I occasionally censor myself even if singing along on my own tho, just depends on if the lyrics work without it or not. Although this goes for more words than that, and just generally depends on how I feel I guess ;p | ||

I doubt any black people actually feel insulted by their race when someone calls them a nigger. It's just an insult. I'm sure if you called some black guy a stupid faggot he would be equally as pissed. Do you live in salt lake city? Race is still a huge deal in michigan (the south of the north) holy god. Some parts of the state I don't even like to think that the nword exists and other parts are like clan meetings ugh. That being said I don't say it derogatory (or often) but there are some terrible race issues tied with it. | ||
