This is important to watch, I think -- she gives some clear direction as to when it is appropriate to use the word.

fucking bravo! without a doubt the most informative discussions of this controversial word, and masterfully done i might add. I'd like to hear what this woman has to say on other issues if she can tackle this subject with objectivity, wisdom, and even humor

She is funny. Nigger has never bothered me in any form. Tho the hypocrisy around its use it pretty dam funny. Then again words only have the power you give them.

@burdturgler

Are you black? Just so I can have context for your statement?

Also -- how old are you? That is additional context for your statement....

Yes I am and I just turned 34. I grew up with people hating me for my race and it really got to me when I was little. Then as I got older I saw that people cant hurt you with words if you don't let them. My parents feel the same way and grew up in the south with a lot of hate going around.

Thank you for your response.

However, it does show that your original comment wasn't quite accurate, yes? "Nigger has never bothered me in any form." That isn't quite true, is it? Sounds like you had to go on a journey to where that statement is NOW true -- you didn't start out there, correct?

I am so glad that you got to a place that poor Burd hasn't yet -- that assholes can't hurt you with words. Sounds like your parents did a good job of helping you get some skills in dealing with the assholes of this world.

Thanks again. You are seriously cool.
