Why have we become so politically correct, that we must now categorize a slang derivative of the word "Negro", so reprehensible, that we can only say it as the: "N-word"? I am not attempting to deny the reprehensibility of the "N-word", used as a pejorative by white robed idiots and uneducated white trash and by the hip-hop dimwits in describing themselves in their artistry of rap...but.
I have noted, that even in court room testimony, it is frequently accepted by the judge, as "the N-word", going into official transcripts as such.
Soon, the "N-word" will be adapted by racists in common use as much as the "N-word" is now, and the "N-word" will be replaced by...what?
Agh!...my head is spinning...see what this damn PC stuff does to a person?
Will we see a white robed fool standing on a street corner, exhorting the racist mass to lynch an "N-word"?
Will we see movies, that in attempting to portray the downtrodden masses, cast a southern accented idiot, standing on the portico of his mansion, surveying his cotton fields, making the statement: "Git them n-words in the field and make them pick that cotton!"?
Where will it end?
Will it then become the n-word "N-word"?
What shall we do with the "S-word"?
Or the "F-word", for that matter?
As it stands now, I can be politically correct whilst standing in public and shouting "F-word", "S-word", and "N-word", right?
I guess it becomes wrong when we say (shout): n-word!, f-word!, s-word! and G**Damn! and p-word and c-word.
These attempts to not offend anyone have become tiresome and they offend me.
I apologize if anyone is offended.
And note...that was the "new" apology...wherein one apologizes for the feeling of offense that one may feel, not the offense itself.
Seems to be a liberal thing, you know?
Your post doesn't really make much sense. If you mean to be offensive there is no reason to say N-word instead of the real thing. Standing in public shouting N-word is likely going to be just as offensive as using the real thing so you might as well use it. The reason it would be as offensive is that shouting anything in public in that way is offensive.
On the other hand if you are trying to be offensive, calling someone an "N-word" might get the reaction you are looking for, but it might just get you laughed at. What it won't be is politically correct.
The reason N-word is used instead of the real thing is the same reason F-word is used instead of the real thing. To avoid needlessly exposing children to the word, even though most kids above the age of ten know both already, still it's best not to encourage them to use them. It has nothing to do with political correctness. It's something people in polite society do as a courtesy.
