Only if you are actually speaking Spanish. In English it is a racial slur. Such slurs are NEVER acceptable imo.

What if you're black?

Racial slurs are never acceptable. Homophobic slurs are never acceptable. Gender based slurs are never acceptable.

Especially when you are using them to demean others...

Speak for your fucking self. My twink ass has been called a f** and threatened with violence my whole life and if I want to use that word Im damn well gonna. You have no place to tell a black person what they can and cannot say. Fuck outta here.

So my understanding is that if you are angry with a gay person, you would call them a f**? Regardless of the reason youre mad? And thats ok because you have been called that word?

Fixed. Separate rules for separate groups is stupid.

If you have never been subject to the violence associated with a slur you have no place perpetuating its usage.

Its not a racial slur. Its an outdated term in the US. Just like Oriental is not a slur but its an outdated term

It is used as a racial slur around here by ignorant rednecks who know they can't say the other one. So to me it is a racial slur...

But I feel that hate speech of any kind, while allowed and protected by the first amendment, isn't acceptable. I'll defend your right to say abhorrent shit, but I won't respect you for it.

Just like attacking abuse victims for having ptsd. You have the legal right to do it, but it makes you an immoral person not worthy of respect.

Wow, its like context fucking matters.

And thats something conservatives continually struggle to understand.

If you can't perceive the difference between when a black person says the n-word and when a white person says it, that's on you. It's on you to figure out why they aren't one in the same, and why complaining that you can't call black people the n-word makes you look really sketch


The person that said this works for CNN. They represent CNN. This is a professional company and I dont care if this woman was black or not. Unprofessional look for CNN.

But thats par for the course at that network

The context it was used was as a substitute for the Other N word quite clearly.

The fact people still defend CNN is disgusting.

Dude, you can't hold your President to a lesser extent than the people he represents. And it still just sounds like people who are upset that they can't say the n word.

I mean, probably unprofessional but he was moreso criticizing Trump and the Republicans than he was Kanye.

So it isn't as bad as long as you're insulting a republican? That's pretty weird.

You probably heard the "a" version.

Are you justifying the use of it by other races that aren't black?

You shouldn't have admitted that you actually believe the nonsense you say and are passionate about your beliefs. "I was just trolling lol" is a much better look that actually claiming to know what you're talking about when you don't.
