"Hurtful Everyday Language And Common Vernacular" or "Retarded, N-Word"

[pochercoaster]

I also don't see the point in saying, "We can use it, but you can't," because I feel it runs counterproductive to the result you want to see. Which is, "People not using them at all." Saying something is alright for one set of people to do, but not another is completely hypocritical.

White people want everything, including the right to use hurtful language.

Like, I've never desired the right to use racial slurs, and I don't understand white people who want to. It's like they're saying "Heh, I can say that too! I can do anything! Neener!" Of things that I can't do, I'm pretty okay with not using racial slurs, and you should be too. Is this the hill you want to die on? Do you really wanna be that guy?

Also, faggot comes from the fact that homosexuals used to be burned at the stake, along with "witches."

Edit: And retard is used perjoratively in everyday language, so yeah it's a pretty shitty thing to call someone if you've ever observed how mentally disabled people are treated like they're subhuman 99% of the time.

Edit 2: Also, I'm just going to leave some posts from RacismSchool here. Post 1. Post 2.

Edit 3:

Just like faggot was a pile of sticks and nigger was meant to mean 'ignorant person'.

Seriously read this.
