  1. +Vengeance "when will white people learn it will never be acceptable to use that word" Because there is no consensus among people of good will that your view is the only correct one? Or if there is such a consensus, it has not been demonstrated by you. How could a vew like that even be proven? To some people, context is key. To you, it isn't. So how do we resolve that? Whenever I hear things like "never" "always" or "all" my usual red flag goes up: here's another case of people reducing the world into rigid black and white categories. To me, that's what you're doing here: assuming the entire civilized world would agree with you. Sorry, unless the subject is killing 3-year-olds in cold blood, there is little absolute consensus on anything else. Talk host David Brudnoy here in Boston was once chastised by a black woman he was having dinner with because he used the phrase "Saturday night in n----er town." But as he explained, he was making an historical reference. In his mind, quoting from history to make a point is legitimate. I never once accept the criticism he was racist. I'll give my own example: I love to impersonate, and one of my favorite little skits for my friends is to pretend I'm a racist, and in them I've used the "n" word. But the whole point of it is that humor is often a much more powerful way to make evil and ignorant and stupid people look evil stupid and ignorant. Sorry, there is no consensus among thoughtful people that the "n" word is absolutely 100% off limits to whites at all times. Let's get over it. More pressing issues in life than Bill Maher's jokes.
