As a rule of thumb, most people of any complexion sound like assholes using that word in public, regardless of context.

Ahhhh you PC asshole.
Seriously, and I've seen that epithet thing in someone else's post too in the past few days.

I don't "get" to use that word?
What does that even mean?
I can use any word I want. Given no one has fried the language center of my brain.

People saying words don't sound like assholes, people who take away their right to use those words are assholes.

Should we erase the word nigger from the dictionary? No, because it's important that people know their history. Telling people not to say or write it is equivalent to saying none of this widespread racist shit ever happened.

It's kind of hilarious coz we're in a free speech vs hate speech thread and you're oppressing my free speech OF hate speech.

(Well, hate word, not hate speech, I wasn't hating, but it's less pithy if I explain all that.)
It's just hilarious. I mean, we're discussing where the line is between hate speech and free speech and you've just drawn the line, and tainted the discussion.

Also, 'nigger' is not offensive if you're using it as an example. It depends entirely in which context you use it.
