He's a champion right now.
But you want to shut them up -ask them why it's so important that they say it.
And it's absolutely hysterical how out of ALL the things in our 'racialicious' society - that's the one thing they hang on. I think people like Rush jerkoff while saying it over and over and over again.
If that's how you have to get your jollies. . .

(1,451 posts)She said her generation (kids born 1995 and later) use it in a race neutral way. It's a moot point though, since she doesn't speak for an entire race. Just herself.
By all means, Rush should start using the word and see how it works out for him.

Her friends were primarily black, and I figured if it didn't bother them, it didn't bother them.
And that's the thing - if it doesn't bother somebody, hey, it doesn't bother anybody.
If it does bother somebody - whole different story.

He obviously feels that not being able to say the word has been a major deprivation in his life.

"Why do they get to say it but I don't? Huh? Huh? Huh?"
Oh, you get to say it. Go ahead. Say it.
