Racial slur apologies

@metal-brain said
Lots of people have used racial slurs and they have not apologized for it. Will Joe Biden apologize for it?

What about The Young Turks? Why doesn't the corporate news media point out their racial slurs? Is it because they maintain the official narrative? Of course ...[text shortened]... use them without ahame? Aren't they giving legitimacy to the "n" word simply by using it themselves?

Unless you're directly affected by the offending action, the only apology worth reading about is Plato.

Not every race or religion was enslaved and then officially de franchised by white racists in their own country.

Indeed, Christianity was - mostly! - not.

Except, of course, in England and her colonies, and most of all in the USA.

Again, USA: it is not Christianity. It is not unions. It is not wellfare, it is not schools, it is not medical care for all, it is not gun control, it is not sex education - it is you. You, only you.

The civilised world has worked most of this out. In my country, only a sparse minority of Christians are right-wing idiots, no more than atheists. Collective medical care isn't perfect but at least nobody goes broke over it. And no, you are not exceptional, the reason it won't work in your country is not size or population density, it's you. Your attitude, your personality, your bloody-minded refusal to accept you're anything but perfect.

It's not Christianity. It's you USA nutters. Every single one of you.

I need a husband like a fish needs a bicycle.

And no, stupid. They will have the exact same meaning and impact. There will just be less of them, which suits people like you just fine.

I wasn't aware of this.

I said in another thread that Rogan isn't the right-winger conservatives think he is. I stand corrected.

Rogan is not a right winger. Mark Twain used the n-word all over the place in Huckleberry Finn. Context matters a lot.

Do you feel Dutch behavior in the East Indies was different?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/09/dutch-officials-drop-case-against-rijksmuseum-over-racist-word

The director of the Rijksmuseum said he was “happy” as Dutch prosecutors announced they would not proceed with an investigation into complaints over a newly opened exhibition on Indonesian independence, the first of its kind in Europe.

The exhibition, Revolusi! Indonesia Independent, at the Netherlands’ national museum, has been a source a controversy since one of its curators, Bonnie Triyana, said the term “bersiap”, or stand by, would not be used in reference to the violent upheaval that followed a declaration of independence from the Dutch state.

Triyana claimed that use of the word, a battle cry for young Indonesians seeking independence, “takes on a strongly racist connotation” in the Netherlands today that “always portrays primitive, uncivilised Indonesians as perpetrators of the violence”.

I do hope your not a Dutch citizen talking about other peoples colonies and their crimes relating to slavery and exploitation of the other.
I wasn’t berating the the US over slavery ( that’s been done and will be again ) I was trying to explain why black Americans in particular find white people using the N word egregious.

Why can’t a nazi crack jokes about Jews without it being offensive, but Jews can?

(The best example of this is Seinfeld: “yadda, yadda, yadda” episode).

However, I am personally totally of the opinion that context is everything. So, say I’m discussing the use of the N-word (which I have to write like this, because it otherwise gets the post banned) in Mark Twain’s nov ...[text shortened]... he black neighbourhood “planet of the apes” which is far more racist than him using the word nieggr.

False context. You have been fed propaganda.

Why doesn't Biden have to apologize for saying the "n" word?
