Topic	This 53 y/o White Woman says she's ENTITLED to use the N-WORD in NEW YORK!!!
Zeus 05/28/17 2:02:19 AM #11:	Well, literally anybody can use it. There's no law against it. wwinterj25 posted... The word shouldn't be used at all if folk get that offended by just hearing it. Personally I think it all depends the context it's used as to if it's racist or not. That's a terrible argument. Not only does it fail to address any problem in a meaningful way, but it opens up the door to other forbidden speech. Not to mention that keeping it taboo is what gives the words its power. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:879944834] in This 53 y/...
