Calling someone a offensive word doesn't mean they are racist, homophobic or any other label you want to attach to them It just means they know a offensive word. If a racist pejorative is so entrenched in one's mind that one unthinkingly uses it in a moment of anger, then one is undoubtedly at least a little racist. There are countless pejoratives one could unthinkingly blurt out in a moment of anger that do not refer to race in any way. If he was only angry about his ex dating someone new and the race of the person didn't matter at all, he would have used one of those. However, this assclown didn't use any of those pejoratives, signifying that somewhere deep in his fragile little psyche, he had a problem with the race of his ex's new beau, which makes him at least a little racist. Except no, it's a term that society entrenches in everybody's mind as one of the absolute worst things to call a black person. The fact that everybody in the society understands that it's so bad and so taboo makes it the sort of thing which would come out of an angry person's mouth whereas a racist would simply use it casually. dainkinkaide posted... Zeus posted... The n-word is the greatest example because it simply just meant black It never "simply just meant black". From its very coinage, it carried connotations of inferiority. While, at times, it may not have been intended as an insult (due to white supremacy being the prevailing societal belief), it was still unquestionably a pejorative term. Because the race itself had those connotations of inferiority... You can't separate the word from the race and the race was really where those feelings originated. Keep in mind that even the ALLIES of blacks and blacks themselves used the word. The connotations only began to separate from the race itself after people began to use different words to refer to blacks. Yellow posted... racist a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another. Should I just keep this in my sig at all times? The errant, well-intentioned zealotry of people using racist as a label when it doesn't fit is a major driving factor for the growing popularity white supremacy movements. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:888648645] in 24 y/o Whi...
