Oh, absolutely.

But it would have been like me using "Pantywaste" to really mean something awful ... and it still would remain harmless because society has moved way beyond the hurtful effect of that word.


Ok, yeah, so maybe being an up-to-date guy I wouldn't have used "Pantywaste."

I'm not claiming I used the "N" word because I personally think it's meaningless. I used it for derrogatory effect because I know it's still taken that way if I as a white internet person use it (though, hello, unless you know me, you can't tell the color of my skin over the internet).

And yes, I thought it was completely appropriate turnabout on those black voters, seventy percent of them, who consider me and mine subhuman and, yes, absolutely the new n*ggers of the world - - ok to spit on, to dehumanize, to abuse and humiliate.

So Fvck Them and, yes, I liked throwing their stupid word back at them.


But it's just a stupid word ... and I remain congratutory of blacks on their road to disarming the word completely. Obviously, that's not yet done. And as long as they insist it's off limits to whites, it won't be done.


So, it's fine by me if you straight folk use "Faggot."
