Social rules for an era matter. Only the stupid politicians will flaunt those that are uniquely important.
That said, the “n” word truly does have a history of intent to demean.
So, it’s not just about social rules that are important. For me, it also involves my Christianity. It is wrong for me to demean another human just because of their race.
That is an interesting comment.
Are there legitimate reasons (non-racial) to demean another human being?
